Hello, We are moving to Dubai in less than 2 months. Browsing the real estate market I noticed that most houses come unfurnished, which is not a problem. But most kitchens seems to come without the main appliances, is this standard? Can we ask a landlord to provide for this? Thank you

Yes, this is pretty standard. You may find the odd new builds and apartments come with integrated stoves etc but usually homes are completely unfurnished. Not many landlords would provide the white goods however they are readily available to buy at stores across Dubai at reasonable prices and there is also a very active second hand market on sites such as Dubizzle.
