As (you’re / you are) aware, given *the* current rates of housing in Dubai, finding accommodation given my budgetary limitation of AED 2,000 p.m. *is* virtually impossible.
“Within my allowance” is, I believe, wrong, but I could well be wrong.
And if you want to be flamboyant with words, you could say “nigh” instead of “virtually” 🙂

I am sure you know that at present, the prices of houses are very high in Dubai. Therefore, it is almost impossible for me to find a place to stay with the allowance I am now paid, which is AED 2000/ per month.

It depends if this is a formal letter coz if it is you might not want to include “as you’re aware” as it may sound condescending.
If I were writing to request for a bigger budget, I would write:
It would be rather challenging to be able to find decent accomodation at AED. 2000/-PM as the current cost of tenancy for a X no. of bedroom apartment in Dubai ranges between (insert the range).
Gd Luck!

given the current housing prices.
Other than that, the sentence looks OK to me.
