Not having to share food is an added benefit of living alone.

The freelancer is enjoying the quieter side of life after spending her first eight months in the emirate in the busy Marina area.
Mouna pays Dh30,000 for her studio, the same amount she spent on the shared accommodation.
She is enjoying living on her own for the first time.
Mouna is glad with the extra space the move has afforded her.
The living arrangements are a boost to her career as well, the freelancer says.
Mouna made the move to Al Ghaf 1, in Arjan, in February.
She feels more settled in Arjan after her time living in Dubai Marina.
Mouna prefers life on the second floor of a low-rise building, where she doesn't have to wait patiently for the elevator to take her to her apartment.
