The numbers
A long-term tenancy in Dubai Silicon Oasis returns AED 55,000 a year with near-zero effort. The same unit hosted at AED 316 a night and 60% occupancy grosses about AED 69,204, and owners on our managed programme average AED 95,502 — a 38% uplift.
The trade-offs
Short-let carries licensing, cleaning, linen and management costs, plus seasonality. Long-term gives certainty and one cheque cycle. Most Dubai Silicon Oasis owners choose short-let for the upside and flexibility to use the home themselves.
