Relocating a dog or cat to or from DAMAC Hills 2 (Akoya)?
DAMAC Hills 2 — formerly Akoya — is an affordable, far-out villa and townhouse community on the southern fringe of Dubailand, popular with families who want more space, more green and room for multiple or larger dogs. That space is a big part of why people move here, and it is also why we relocate so many pets in and out of these homes. Whether you are arriving from abroad to a townhouse on the Green Zone or leaving the UAE for a new posting, we handle the permits, paperwork and transport so you can focus on settling your family in.

Moving To or From DAMAC Hills 2 With a Pet
Most DAMAC Hills 2 relocations are international — families arriving from the UK, India, South Africa, Australia and across Europe, or leaving Dubai for a new posting. The requirements depend on your origin or destination country, but the core steps are the same: a valid microchip, current vaccinations, a government health certificate, and a MOCCAE permit. The MOCCAE permit costs AED 200 per pet and stays valid for 90 days, so we time the application carefully against your travel date.
From low-risk countries the timeline is typically 2–6 weeks. A rabies titer test is only required for pets travelling to or from certain high-risk rabies countries — where it applies, plan for around four months because of the mandatory waiting period. We map your exact timeline before you commit.
Pet-Friendly Living in DAMAC Hills 2
DAMAC Hills 2 is built for space, which makes it one of the more comfortable Dubai communities for dogs — and especially for households with multiple or larger breeds. The green zones, parks and walkable streets give pets far more room than a high-rise apartment, and the community amenities mean families spend plenty of time outdoors. Because the community sits well out of the city, we plan collection windows generously so travel day stays calm, and we can advise on crate acclimation for dogs that are used to roaming a villa garden.
Cost of Pet Relocation in DAMAC Hills 2
Total cost depends on your route, pet size and service level — typically AED 2,000 to AED 25,000, and larger dogs sit toward the upper end because of crate and cargo weight. Government fees include the MOCCAE permit at AED 200 per pet, plus release and clearance costs of roughly AED 700 per dog and AED 450 per cat; the rest covers veterinary work, crate, cargo and coordination.
Local Veterinary Support in DAMAC Hills 2
DAMAC Hills 2 sits further out along the southern edge of Dubai, but the wider Dubailand and DAMAC corridor is served by veterinary clinics that handle the microchip, vaccination and health-certificate steps your pet needs before travel. We coordinate timing with your vet so every document is valid on travel day — and if you prefer, we can recommend a vetted clinic within reasonable reach of the community.
