single female need to know about housing/living expenses
i am in the negotiation stage of my working contract - they are offering 1 month free rent plus a moving bonus - but only 10% on what i currently earn - which according to my research on housing leaves me short to even pay the rent for a year.
any advise would be highly appreciated - trying to make an educated decision about moving.......
Rental in Dubai is very expensive, min 85k per year for a 1 bed apt, plus u will need to furnish it. you will definately need a car as the public transport isnt very good at mo. there is a metro rail in constuction but is way off completion.
you will need a good salary to come over here and you should negotiate flight and medical.
Hey guys, Everything is cheap in Dubai accept accomodation. If anyone coming Dubai than they should have atleast 9000/- to have good life with your family here.
below are just the costs that one will entailed before u even get started here and yearly outlays as follows;
- immediate relocation:hotel expenses till u find apartment/house- average dhs 500/-night +food/weekly-dhs 300/- should be fine + taxis/transport-dhs 350/-plus or buses cheaper option probaly dhs100/- max.
- once moved in, housing i.e; apartments 1 bedroom starts at AED/dhs 85,000/- plus depending on area.
- furnishing:- dhs 15,000/-minimum
- utilities:- dhs 1000 installation & about dhs 600/- monthly for dewa.
- tel/mobile/cable/internet:- dhs 1000/-plus installation & about dhs 600/-plus monthly.

Currently I am working in Saudia on 4500 Saudi Riyals ( Currency almost same as compare to Dhms ) Recently I got a offer in Dubai on 6000 Dhms. What do you people think when one is better? My 1500Sr differnce will compensate housing difference. What should I do? I am totally confused. Fahad
well. dubai has more to do interms of thing to do or entertainment.also laws are more lax, but it is a muslim country, guess both are!

Hi i am offering a job going to dubai but they offer me 1,100 riyal and equivalent to 13000+ in peso here in the Philippines am i right? but my employer promise me that my lodging and transportation going to my work is free and have a benefits or bonus. do you think it is ok for me to accept that offer? tnx and more power
hi,I am new and from sri lanka. i have been offered a direct sales executive job from a bank. they offer me dhs 4000/= plus commisions . is it worth of comming there. will i be able to work hard and earn more?
I am in the negotiation stage of my working contract - they are offering 10000 / month, whats about the living cost in dubai, i m planning to move with my wife and kid. hows the education expenses.
it it worth to move from india and stay in dubai for couple of year, how much i m going to save.
I am making considerably more than the 6000-10000/month that many of these discussions are surrounding - in Dubai rent alone will start at 66,000 per annum, food is very inexpensive, and as a single I wouldn't come here for less than 10,000 a month . . . thats only the USD equiv. of $32,608 per annum. Given the fact that there is no tax here it is the US equiv of $41,086, but that kind of money doesn't go far here . . . unless you want to room with many others in a crowded flat, consider what you are likely to earn, what you are likely to save, what you are likely to spend . . .
i got an offer in dubai with a net salary of 2300 uae dirhams, accomodation is already free. do you think it is worth transferring there. currently i'am earning 15,000 philippine peso. at the same time the nature of the job is different from my present job and my profession please help before i sign the contract
