Sharjah 2BHKs cost noticeably less than similar flats in Dubai and are often larger, which is why many Dubai workers' families live in Al Nahda, Al Taawun, Al Khan, Al Majaz and Muwaileh. The trade-off is the rush-hour commute into Dubai. Send Stayshay your budget and work location and we'll find options.
Is it cheaper to live in Sharjah and work in Dubai?
