The Property Masters designs and builds outdoor kitchens and BBQ areas across Dubai and all seven emirates — the entertaining space that turns a garden or terrace into an outdoor living room. A real outdoor kitchen is more than a grill: it is a built-in BBQ, weatherproof cabinetry and stone worktops, and the gas, water, electrical and drainage runs that make it work, all built to survive Dubai's sun, humidity and dust. We design the layout, services and shade together, priced by a fixed quote after a free site visit.
What goes into an outdoor kitchen
Cooking station options
- Gas or charcoal BBQ/grill — the core of every outdoor kitchen
- Side burner, pizza oven, tandoor or rotisserie — as the spec allows
- Weatherproof cabinetry and storage around the cooking station
- Worktops for prep and serving
- Sink, under-counter fridge and bar counter as the budget allows
Layouts: compact single run, L-shape or island with seating — planned around your space, your cooking style and flow to the rest of the garden.
Weatherproof materials — built for Dubai
Full sun, humidity and occasional sandstorms — materials borrowed from an indoor kitchen will not last.
- Marine-grade stainless steel grill housing, doors and drawers — resists the corrosion ordinary steel suffers outdoors
- Weather-resistant stone or porcelain worktops granite, quartzite or porcelain — take grill heat and sun without fading or cracking
- Carcasses moisture-resistant materials, not standard MDF
Gas, water, electrical and drainage
This is where an outdoor kitchen is made or broken.
- Gas supply for the grill
- Water and drainage for the sink; proper falls on drainage
- Power for the fridge, lighting and sockets — weatherproof outdoor-rated sockets; correct earthing
- All connections coordinated to DEWA requirements by qualified, licensed contractors
- Far cheaper and cleaner if planned before the hardscape goes down rather than chased in afterwards
Ventilation and shade
- Ventilation wherever the grill sits under cover — proper airflow or extraction hood so heat and smoke clear safely from enclosed or heavily roofed cooking areas
- Shade cooking over a grill in direct Dubai sun is unpleasant for most of the year; most outdoor kitchens are paired with a pergola — ideally louvred or motorised — to keep the cook and guests out of the midday sun while letting smoke and heat escape
Approvals — utilities and community NOC
- Gas + permanent built structure = many Dubai communities require a NOC from the master developer or community management
- Gas and electrical work must meet the relevant utility and safety requirements
- We flag requirements early and coordinate approvals so the build is not held up

Part of the bigger picture
Design the outdoor kitchen alongside landscaping and a pergola so levels, gas and power runs, and lighting all line up the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in an outdoor kitchen?
A built-in outdoor kitchen is built around a cooking station — typically a gas or charcoal BBQ/grill, often with a side burner, pizza oven or rotisserie — surrounded by weatherproof cabinetry and storage, prep and serving worktops, and as the budget allows a sink, an under-counter fridge and a bar counter. Layouts range from a compact single run to an L-shape or island with seating.
What materials last outdoors in Dubai's climate?
An outdoor kitchen needs materials chosen for full sun, humidity and dust. We use marine-grade stainless steel for the grill housing, doors and drawers because it resists corrosion, and weather-resistant stone or porcelain worktops such as granite, quartzite or porcelain that take grill heat and sun without fading or cracking. Carcasses are built in moisture-resistant materials rather than standard MDF.
How are gas, water and electricity connected to an outdoor kitchen?
A built-in grill needs a gas supply, a sink needs water and drainage, and the fridge and lighting need power — all routed safely through an outdoor environment. We coordinate the gas, water and electrical connections to DEWA requirements by qualified, licensed contractors, with weatherproof outdoor-rated sockets, correct earthing and proper drainage falls. These services are best planned before the hardscape goes down.
Does an outdoor kitchen need shade or ventilation in Dubai?
Both help. Shade is important because cooking in direct Dubai sun is uncomfortable for much of the year, so most outdoor kitchens are paired with a pergola — ideally louvred or motorised — over the cooking and dining area. Ventilation matters wherever the grill sits under a cover: an enclosed or heavily roofed cooking area needs proper airflow or an extraction hood so heat and smoke clear safely.
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost in Dubai?
An outdoor kitchen is priced per project because cost depends on the cooking equipment, the size and layout, the materials, and the gas, water, electrical and drainage runs involved. Rather than quote a misleading figure, we measure your space and assess the services on a free site visit and return a fixed, itemised quote, with 5% VAT shown separately.
