What monthly cost should parents expect in Dubai?


Great question! If you’re considering Dubai (UAE) as a study destination, understanding the cost of living is essential for planning.

Monthly Living Expenses in Dubai for International Students (2024-2025):
While Dubai does not have an official government-mandated minimum like the UK or Australia, typical monthly living costs (excluding tuition) for international students average between AED 3,000 and AED 5,000 per month. This includes:

- Accommodation: AED 1,500 – AED 3,500 (shared/private, on-campus/off-campus)
- Food & Groceries: AED 800 – AED 1,200
- Transport: AED 200 – AED 300
- Utilities & Internet: AED 300 – AED 600
- Personal Expenses (entertainment, clothing, etc.): AED 400 – AED 600

Total Estimated Monthly Cost:
AED 3,000 – AED 5,000 (approx. INR 68,000 – 1,15,000 per month, but may vary depending on lifestyle and housing choices).

Note:
- The above is a general guide; actual expenses can vary based on lifestyle, accommodation choices, and personal habits.
- Some universities in Dubai require you to show a minimum amount in your financial documents for visa purposes. This usually ranges from AED 30,000 – 50,000 per year.
