Greetings!
I have been short-listed for a teaching job in Dubai, but I frankly don't know much about the UAE.
The likely salary would be around US$40,000 per year plus free housing (probably a two bedroom apartment), moving expenses, summer vacation air tickets, and some other perks
Can one live a decent life in Dubai on that? I'm certainly not expecting luxury, but could one at least have a comfortable existence there on US 40K a year?
I would be moving there with my new wife. We don't have any kids. Not sure yet if she would be able to work there or not.
On a related note, could anyone out there compare the cost of living in Dubai with Asian cities like Singapore or Seoul?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
