The numbers
A long-term tenancy in Dubai Sports City returns AED 60,000 a year with near-zero effort. The same unit hosted at AED 345 a night and 62% occupancy grosses about AED 78,074, and owners on our managed programme average AED 107,741 — 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 Sports City owners choose short-let for the upside and flexibility to use the home themselves.
