Relocating to a new country for your studies is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. International students often arrive without a local network, unfamiliar with the housing market, regulations, and practical realities of daily life. One of the biggest challenges is finding suitable accommodation before or shortly after arrival.
In fast moving cities like Dubai, securing housing is not just a practical step. It is essential. Without a confirmed place to stay, starting your studies, internship or exchange programme becomes unnecessarily stressful.
That is exactly where we come in.
The housing market in Dubai is dynamic and competitive. For international students, this can be particularly challenging. Short stay accommodation offers the ideal solution: flexible, fully serviced housing that allows students to settle in quickly and comfortably, without long term commitments.
By focusing exclusively on short stay student accommodation, we help keep housing accessible and flexible. Our accommodations are intended as a starting point, giving students the time and space to adapt, focus on their studies and, if needed, explore longer term options later on.
Student Housing Dubai is a booking platform. We do not own the properties listed on our website. Instead, we facilitate the booking process and connect international students with carefully selected short stay accommodations that meet our standards.
This approach allows us to focus entirely on what matters most: a smooth arrival experience and reliable housing for students coming from abroad.
We define international students as:
Students enrolled at an accredited university or educational institution
Holders of a foreign passport
This also includes students arriving for an exchange programme, internship, traineeship or other temporary educational placement.
Everything taken care of
Short stays come with their own challenges. Moving countries, settling quickly and adapting to a new environment can be intense, especially when time is limited. Fully serviced accommodation removes that pressure.
From the moment you arrive, everything is ready. All accommodations listed on our platform must be fully furnished before being offered. This ensures a smooth and worry free start, without the need to arrange furniture, utilities or basic household items.
Furnished rooms, internet, gas, water and electricity are already set up. There is no need to organise contracts or deal with suppliers. The focus is on comfort and ease from day one.
In addition, services such as cleaning, maintenance and a complete basic inventory are in place to support daily living. Optional support is available for practical matters such as registration, deregistration, insurance, phone plans and finding a local GP. Questions about daily life or the city itself can be easily addressed through our support channels.
For urgent situations, a 24 7 emergency service is available, providing peace of mind throughout your stay.
Bedding, kitchen items, cleaning supplies and laundry essentials can be provided upon request. Some services are included as standard, while additional requests, such as stocking the fridge before arrival, may involve extra costs.
The aim is simple: to make your short stay effortless, comfortable and predictable, so your energy can go where it matters most.
For details about utilities, services and related costs, please contact us directly. We're just a WhatsApp message away.
Student Housing is more than a housing platform. It is built by people who understand student life from the inside out. Our team consists of former and current students who know firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate housing markets, agencies, unclear processes and the risk of scams when moving to a new country.
That lived experience shapes everything we do.
We operate with a global team, working across multiple time zones to support international students worldwide. Our team members are based in different locations, including Dubai, allowing us to stay connected, responsive and internationally minded. This global presence helps us understand cultural differences, relocation challenges and the realities of moving abroad.
What truly sets us apart is our direct and personal support. Through our WhatsApp support, students receive real time assistance throughout the booking process. No automated replies, no endless waiting, but clear communication and guidance when it matters most. We believe this level of accessibility and transparency makes a meaningful difference.
Every day, our team works to improve processes, raise standards and deliver a smoother, safer and more reliable housing experience for international students.
Student Housing is here to make finding accommodation abroad simpler, clearer and far less stressful, so students can focus on what they came for in the first place.
