Office in Business Bay? Where to live for an easy commute

Business Bay is one of Dubai's busiest office districts but among the priciest places to rent. Most people working there live a few metro stops away and pay much less.

Best areas for a Business Bay commute

• [Al Karama](/areas/al-karama) and [Oud Metha](/areas/oud-metha): a few stops away on the Red Line, cheap central rooms and partitions.
• [Bur Dubai](/areas/bur-dubai) and [Al Mankhool](/areas/al-mankhool): BurJuman interchange to the Red Line.
• [Al Satwa](/areas/al-satwa): close to Sheikh Zayed Road, short taxi or bus ride.
• [Al Quoz](/areas/al-quoz): very close by road, cheaper rooms.
• [Al Barsha](/areas/al-barsha-1) and [Barsha Heights](/areas/al-barsha-heights): a straight Red Line ride, more modern buildings.
• [Al Jaddaf](/areas/al-jaddaf): across the Creek, newer buildings, short taxi ride.
• [Business Bay](/areas/business-bay) itself: if you want to walk to work, shared rooms in towers bring the cost down.

Tip: Use the Business Bay metro station's exit towards the canal for the newer towers; the Bay Avenue side is a longer walk in summer.
