Family Fit Explorer

Where does your family's life work in Dubai?

Set the school run, the office, the budget and the home you want. All 42 areas re-rank as you move each control, with the rent, school and commute figures that decide it shown on every card.

What is sourced and what is modelled

Rents are DLD Rent Contracts (Ejari) bands (2025–2026). Schools are the KHDA School Search register. Commutes are measured TomTom 8am times where we hold them. The fit score and first-year cost are our model, and are labelled as such.

Ranking 42 areas

How the ranking works

Every control maps onto the same questionnaire answers the free area match uses, so the score you see here is the score you would get there. Budget carries 25 points, commute 20, family and schools 20, lifestyle 15, pets 10 and deal-breakers 10.

Schools within 3 km

Counted from the KHDA register using each school's published location and the area's centre point. The best-rated one is named. KHDA paused full inspections for 2024-25 and 2025-26, so ratings reflect the last full cycle (mostly 2023–24).
