The licence you need
Every short-let unit in Dubai Creek Harbour must hold a Department of Economy and Tourism holiday-home permit, renewed annually, with each guest registered and tourism dirham collected per night. Alayan Homes handles the full filing for owners.
Building approval
Most Dubai Creek Harbour towers allow licensed holiday homes, but a handful of owners' associations restrict them. We check the building's stance before you commit — that check takes a day and saves months.
