Published
Al Muteena is in Deira. For a household seeking an apartment beside a park, Bayt Al Muteena 04 offers a documented starting point: its manager names 3 formats, studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom, and states adjacency to Muteena Family Park (Al Ghurair Property Management, checked 29 October 2026). Layout, station access and included services depend on the particular home.

Is Al Muteena in Deira, and is it the same as Oud Al Muteena?
Al Muteena is in Deira, Dubai. Al Ghurair Property Management places Bayt Al Muteena 04 within its Deira residential records. That is the location covered here, checked 29 October 2026.
Oud Al Muteena is a different address search. The KHDA locality selector lists Al Muteena separately from Oud Al Muteena locality labels, checked 29 October 2026. Keep the full district name, building name and entrance pin together when comparing documents or planning journeys.
For nearby housing comparisons, the guides to Hor Al Anz and Hor Al Anz East and Al Baraha apply the same address-by-address approach.
What apartment layouts exist in Al Muteena?
Studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments are documented at Bayt Al Muteena 04; that establishes a building example rather than a complete district inventory.
The manager's description, accessed 29 October 2026, describes large doors leading to balconies, spacious living rooms and semi-open to modern kitchens. It also states that the building is adjacent to Muteena Family Park. A semi-open kitchen is partly connected to the living space; the actual partition, ventilation and appliance provision need the home's own plan and specification.
The strongest match for a household seeking outdoor space is a home with its balcony confirmed on that plan. A household needing separate sleeping rooms can test the bedroom formats against furniture and storage needs. Park adjacency makes the actual route to the park relevant; it does not establish a park view from a particular apartment.
The building description does not establish district-wide facilities. Lift access, parking entitlement, any shared facilities, cooling arrangements and repair responsibilities belong on the selected home's written confirmation list.
Which Metro stations serve an Al Muteena address?
Salah Al Din and Abu Baker Al Siddique are the station names to test against the selected entrance. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) station map lists Salah Al Din as G19 and Abu Baker Al Siddique as G18, both on the Green Line, as of October 2026.
A station's presence on the network does not establish a walk from every Al Muteena building. For each shortlisted address, record the pedestrian door, station entrance, crossings and usable pavement route. Compare the journey at the household's intended travel time, including the return trip and any lift or step-free access needs.
For work in Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) or Downtown Dubai, RTA's map shows the Green and Red line interchange at Union and the Red Line stations Financial Centre and Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall, checked 29 October 2026. Use the actual destination entrance in a current RTA journey enquiry. A district-centre pin or train ride alone leaves out access, waiting and the final walk.
A household whose daily routine centres on the Metro is best matched by the apartment whose entrance-based route works for that routine.
Is Little Flower English School in Al Muteena?
Little Flower English School is in Hor Al Anz, a separate area from the Al Muteena address covered here. Its Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) record lists an Indian curriculum and grades KG 1 to Grade 6, checked 29 October 2026.
The record displays an overall inspection rating of Acceptable for 2023-2024. That is the report period, not a new inspection in 2026.
For a school-focused household, confirm the required grade, current fee sheet and transport arrangements directly with the school. Transport confirmation needs the exact building and collection point, whether that point is served, journey timing and the written charge. A campus-area label establishes neither a school-bus stop nor admission for a child.
What are the DEWA move-in charges for an apartment?
The refundable apartment deposit is AED 2,000, and activation is a separate charge. The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) move-in schedule, as of October 2026, distinguishes small and large meters.
Source: withlida.com, 29 October 2026, calculated from DEWA's move-in schedule, as of October 2026. Small-meter activation: AED 125 + AED 10 + AED 10 + AED 10 = AED 155. Large-meter activation: AED 300 + AED 10 + AED 10 + AED 10 = AED 330.
Confirm the premises' meter category with DEWA; bedroom count does not identify it. The deposit is separate from any landlord or manager deposit in the lease. Continuing consumption bills sit outside these setup amounts.
DEWA's service page also describes account notification following Ejari issuance on its integrated tenant route, as of October 2026. Ejari is Dubai's tenancy-contract registration system. Match the premises details and account notification to the home being leased.
How do two leases compare on household cost?
Different inclusions can change annual cost even when quoted rents match. The following worked comparison uses written-quote inputs throughout. It describes two possible lease packages, not actual offers or terms attributed to Bayt Al Muteena 04.
Source: withlida.com, 29 October 2026. Original comparison worksheet. Every commercial amount remains an input from the selected home's written quote or agreement; no neighbourhood rent or private fee is assumed.
Annual running cost A = quoted annual rent A + other annual bills A.
Annual running cost B = quoted annual rent B + annual cooling B + annual parking B + other annual bills B.
If the rents and other annual bills are equal, Lease B's additional annual running cost is exactly its separately billed cooling plus parking. If Lease A has a rent premium, compare that premium with those same charges. Where annual cooling consumption remains variable, keep it labelled as an estimate with its basis.
Other annual bills include electricity and water, every other applicable recurring bill item, internet and the household's chosen travel arrangements. School transport belongs here when relevant. Cooling charged through electricity is counted within that bill, not added again as a separate cooling bill.
For a small-meter apartment, first-year incurred cost = annual running cost + other applicable non-refundable setup costs + AED 155 DEWA activation. Setup costs include the documented Ejari, agreed agency or administration charges, provider setup and moving costs that apply to that lease.
First-year cash provision = first-year incurred cost + quoted private lease deposit + other refundable provider deposits + AED 2,000 DEWA apartment deposit. The DEWA components therefore add AED 2,155 to the cash provision, using DEWA's October 2026 schedule. Additional provider deposits remain quoted inputs.
This full-year provision is different from cash due on signing. The payment schedule determines when rent instalments and other amounts fall due. A household comparing immediate cash needs can apply that schedule without treating held deposits as spent annual costs.
What needs written confirmation before signing?
The useful comparison is a matched set of address, floor plan, charge schedule and lease terms. The tenancy-contract guide explains the wider lease and clause framework.
Match the home and plan
Record the full Al Muteena, Deira address, building name, apartment identifier and entrance pin. Obtain the actual layout, balcony and kitchen details, appliance inventory and any parking entitlement.
Allocate each charge
Record the quoted rent, instalment dates, private deposit terms, cooling responsibility, repairs and all included or separate services. Identify each payee and keep one-off costs apart from continuing bills and refundable deposits.
Match registration and utilities
Confirm the applicable Ejari route with the manager or DLD, then verify the premises and meter category with DEWA. Confirm school transport with the school using the same address.
As of October 2026, Dubai Land Department's tenancy-registration service identifies property-management, service-centre and digital routes subject to its service terms. It issues an e-Contract Registration Certificate. DLD or RERA, Dubai's Real Estate Regulatory Agency, is the official confirmation route for registration questions; DEWA confirms its own connection charges.
