Listings show the view from the best flat on the best day. TowerWise looks at the building and the streets around it: noise, construction, transport, lifts, sun and the running costs, so you can shortlist with your eyes open. Try it below, right in your browser.
Pick a tower, then drag it around the block
A made-up neighbourhood, scored with the app's real rules. Move a tower next to the highway, under the flight path or beside a building site and watch the Quiet, Transit and Daily-life scores change.
Tip: tap a grey tower to select it. Drag the teal one, tap anywhere to move it there, or use the arrow keys.
Same tower, very different flats
The 3rd floor over the road and the 40th floor facing north are different homes. Tell TowerWise the floor, where the sun comes in and what the windows look at, and get advice for that exact unit.
Advice for this flat
Do these at the viewing
The rent is only the first cheque
The two calculators from the app's Dubai guide: what moving in really costs, and the most your landlord can legally add at renewal.
Typical Dubai figures for 2026, the same ones the app uses. Fees change; check with the agent and DEWA.
Dubai's cap (Decree No. 43 of 2013) depends on how far below the average your rent is. Since 2025 the average comes from DLD's Smart Rental Index; the bands are unchanged.
The 20-point viewing checklist
The same list the app keeps for each favourite. Take it to the viewing; ticks are saved in this browser only.
Start with the garbage chute. Nobody mentions it until you've signed.
Five emirates, five sets of rules
The same map, scores and insights everywhere, plus what renting in each emirate does differently: Ejari or Tawtheeq, DEWA, TAQA or SEWA, Salik or Darb, metro or none.
An advisor for every step of the move
From the first browse on the map to the viewing and the renewal a year later.

Two native apps, the same answers
TowerWise is written natively for each platform, SwiftUI on iPhone and Jetpack Compose on Android. The scoring rules, insights and calculators are identical, so both apps give the same advice as this page.

Privacy, in one sentence
TowerWise collects nothing. There are no accounts, no servers of ours, no analytics and no ads. The tower data ships inside the app, and your favorites, notes and checklists stay on your phone. This page has no trackers either.
