How Much Does Office Space Cost in Dubai? Per-Desk Prices by District (October 2026)

October 19, 2026 | by Michael Monday

Published asking prices in Dubai run from AED 545 per desk per month at the low end to AED 2,250 in the upper quarter, with a median of AED 1,895. That is the per-desk, per-month asking price for a private office or dedicated desk in a serviced or coworking building, with furniture, internet, cleaning and reception included. The figures come from 41 published prices on SquareFoot as of October 2026.

Dubai Media City3AED 2,500AED 2,500
Dubai World Trade Centre2AED 3,500AED 3,500

“From” is the tenth-percentile published price in that district, so a real low end rather than a single outlier; the median is the middle of the published range. Districts with fewer than three published prices are left out.

What a team pays per month

1 personAED 545AED 1,895AED 2,250

10 peopleAED 5,450AED 18,950AED 22,500
20 peopleAED 10,900AED 37,900AED 45,000

These are straight multiples of the per-desk price. In practice a 10-person office is often priced as a suite rather than ten desks, and the per-desk figure falls as headcount rises, so treat the median column as the budget to plan around and the low end as what a patient search in the right district can reach.

What the price includes

At a serviced or coworking operator the monthly figure covers the furnished office, internet, utilities, cleaning, reception and shared kitchens and lounges. Meeting rooms are either included as a monthly allowance or billed by the hour; parking, printing and phone lines are usually extra. There is no separate rent, taxes or service charge, which is the main difference from a conventional lease.
