Hello,
My husband and myself are moving to dubai in few weeks time. He will be working as a restaurant manager, earning 5000 dh/month(+ bonus - well that is not sure yet). We'll have an flat in Al Satwa everything included.
I am still looking for a job at the moment in the hotel industry and really hope i'll find something interesting soon???

To be honnest i'm a bit worried, i don't know what to expect from that new life??? everyone is saying that it will be great, can someone that leaves in Dubai already give me and advice, does his offer sounds ok or is there anythin to worry about???
please HELpppp

Thank you!

Hi Alo!!!

Just go thru this section!!! All ur Q? will be answered!!!!

If you need something over and above!!!!Everyone here in DB would more that be willing to help!!!!

Hope you enjoy ur stay!

5000 dhs with accomodation included i hope ? If not then your in big trouble i would say.

As mentioned repeatdley here it really depends on what lifestyle you want to have and what you are used to back home but to some this might be good enough to others this might not be good at all. It would be worthwhile to check out of transportation will be taken care of too ? (car, insurance, maintenance, fuel) because that will take off an expense.

There are many topics about cost of living and such browse through them and let us know if you have specific questions. Best of Luck !

Hi Allo,

Where are you coming from?

The cost of living in Dubai is a bit high, and you should calculate your monthly expenses before actually moving. If your husband will get 5000 aed nett then both of you will be ok. Savings will depend on your lifestyle.

Good Luck.

remember air conditioners use alot of electricity - keep that in mind if your flat doesnt cover utilities.
