Bed space in Karama

A central, walkable low-rise district where many South Asian and Filipino professionals share flats close to BurJuman, ADCB station and the Karama market. Typical prices: AED 700–AED 3,000 / month.

Karama is made up of low-rise apartment blocks laid out on a grid, with ground-floor shops, cheap restaurants and small supermarkets on almost every street. The Karama market and Karama Centre make everyday shopping easy, and Zabeel Park sits along its eastern edge.

Its central position is the main draw: DIFC, the World Trade Centre and Bur Dubai are a few stops away by metro. Shared flats here are rented mainly by working expatriates from South Asia and the Philippines, both bachelors and working women.
