Written from doing it, not from a brochure.
Nothing here is a sales page. Where the honest answer is that you want a different service, or a different company, the guide says so.

About these guides.
Who writes these guides?
We do. They come out of ten years of collecting from Dubai flats, villas and offices. Nothing here is a sales page — where the honest answer is that you want a different service, or a different company, the guide says so.
Which guide should I read first if I am moving to Dubai?
Start with Moving to Dubai for the arrival sequence, from visa to Ejari to furniture. Then the Dubai tenancy and moving calendar, so your dates line up with the way the city moves, and the storage packing checklist before the crew arrives.
Do the guides tell me what storage costs?
How much storage costs in Dubai covers what the market actually charges and the costs quotes leave out. For your own number, ask for a free, itemised quote — you pay only for the space your items use.
Are the guides kept up to date?
They live at undated addresses, so each one is updated in place rather than replaced every January. If something reads out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
I would rather not read — can I just get a price?
Yes. Local self storage in Dubai is the shorter route, or call or WhatsApp us and a consultant will send a free, itemised quote for what you are storing.
Question a guide did not answer?
Send it. If it comes up more than a couple of times it usually becomes a guide.
