Marsa Dubai
مرسى دبي
What a square foot costs here, what it rents for, what it yields once the service charge comes off, and how all of that compares with every other community in Dubai. Taken from what was registered with the Dubai Land Department. Nothing modelled, nothing estimated.

How many sales were registered with the Dubai Land Department in this period. It measures activity, not price.
How many tenancy contracts were registered in this period, new and renewed together.
The middle registered annual rent for the period: half were agreed below it and half above.
Higher confidence, a large number of records behind this figure. Based on up to 3,761 registered records in the period.
Marsa Dubai against every other community in Dubai.
Each figure is drawn on the field it belongs to, so a number is never left to stand on its own. Latest published quarter, Q2 2026.
This communityDubai medianEvery other community
Median price per square foot
AED 2,153
The middle registered sale here, measured by area so a studio and a villa compare.
21st highest of 56 communities. 26% above the Dubai median.
Median rent per square foot
AED 104 a year
What a square foot let for here, from registered tenancy contracts.
21st highest of 133 communities. 42% above the Dubai median.
Gross rental yield
5.61%
Rent per square foot over ready-property price. Before the service charge.
25th highest of 40 communities. 8.3% above the Dubai median. In this community's favour.
Service charge
AED 19 a square foot
The yearly charge an owner pays. It comes straight off the yield above.
3rd highest of 11 communities.
Yield after the service charge
3.95%
The gross yield above with this community’s service charge taken off, which is the figure a yield table almost never shows you. It is still not take-home: management, maintenance and the weeks a home sits empty come off after this.
Marsa Dubai, year by year
How prices, sales, rents and yield have moved here, each year against the one before.
The median price per square foot held steady at AED 2,111 / sq ft in Q3 2022, level with the same quarter a year earlier.
What this means for you: rising prices with steady yield suggest rents are keeping pace; prices rising faster than rents mean yield is thinning. Past movement is a record, not a forecast.
