Thank you for taking the time. I work for a hotel property here in America (I've lived and worked in Asia and Europe) and I've been offered a transfer to our Dubai property. If there is anyone who works in the hospitality industry and can advise me on the offer and more importantly how much to expect in gratuities/tips I would very thankful.

1400 dirhams per month (I currently make this in one week)
2 year contract with 6 week bonus at end
6 - 9-hour days per week
shared apartment (1 roomie)
food and transportation to/from work
Airfare
1 roundtrip airline ticket during contract (I'm going to ask for 2)
Excellent working environment
40 days paid vacation per year.

I currently work in a midwestern (not much in tourism) 4-star property but can make anywhere from 200 to 800 dirhams a week ($50 to $200) in tips. Is it possible to equal that in Dubai at a Jumeirah Beach Property? Again, thank you for any imput.
