In what areas of Dubai is inexpensive real estate

The cost of buying or renting an apartment varies depending on its location, so in some areas you can find quite affordable prices. For example, if you have an annual budget of AED 100,000 ($27,000) for rent, you can easily get a simple one-bedroom apartment in Jumeirah Village. On the other hand, a similar location in Dubai Production City would cost half the budget. In addition, when choosing an area, it is also necessary to take into account proximity to shopping establishments, access to public transport, and so on.
