Dubai Silicon Oasis is a self-contained free-zone community with its own retail, university campuses and offices. There is no metro, but a lot of residents never need one because they work inside the same zone — which makes it unusually good value for people whose job is already in DSO.
What a bed space costs in Dubai Silicon Oasis
A bed in a smaller room of 3–4 people costs AED 100–200 more than a bunk in a 6–8 person room in the same building — usually the best AED 150 you will spend here. At these rents DEWA, 24/7 air conditioning and Wi-Fi should be included, along with a wardrobe or locker per tenant. Kitchens and bathrooms are shared; six to eight tenants per bathroom is normal for Dubai Silicon Oasis.
