Where do Emirates staff live in Dubai?

Emirates provides shared furnished air conditioned accommodation free of charge. There are more than 50 buildings in various locations throughout Dubai that you could be placed in. Each apartment block has leisure facilities.



Emirates provides complimentary, high-quality accommodation for its thousands of cabin crew and pilots in Dubai. Historically, staff lived in various apartment buildings scattered across areas like Silicon Oasis, Meydan, and Al Qusais. However, as of early 2026, Emirates has officially launched its massive "Cabin Crew Village" project at Dubai Investments Park (DIP). This multi-billion dirham development is designed to eventually house up to 12,000 crew members in a self-contained community featuring 20 residential towers. The village is positioned strategically between Dubai International (DXB) and Al Maktoum International (DWC) to support the airline's long-term move to the newer airport. These residences are more than just apartments; they include resort-style pools, fitness centers, grocery stores, and clinics. Pilots usually receive a "housing allowance" to rent their own villas in areas like Arabian Ranches or Jumeirah, though some still opt for company-provided luxury apartments in the heart of the city.
