Hi There,

Mirdif isn't bad at all, the local bars would be the Meridien next to the Airport and the Millenium Hotel. 95 seems alot for a one bed but in this day and age it isn't surprising! Where do you work?

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. I work in Sheikh Zayed road next to Fairmont. I know it a bit far but they told me that there will be no traffic from there to sheikh Zayed, but still worried coz it seems even far from main night life attractions as long as I'm single and want to hang out on weekends.

IMO Uptown Mirdiff is more of a 'family' area. As a single person, you may prefer to be more central. You should be able to find a nice apartment in Bur Dubai or thereabouts for AED 95k pa. And it is pretty close to the Fairmont, even with the notorious Bur Dubai traffic.
