Cost of Living in Dubai

I am starting an internship in Dubai. They are paying my accommodation, food and the salary is 1200 AED per month. Would that be appropriate amount of money for a single person?

I wanna pose a question. Whoever knows please answer to me. When someone works in. A nail salon they pay your rent for your House? How much does a manicure cost? And is it legal to have your nail salon in your house?

Dubai has the most unorthodox economy depending upon oil.However put a large group of Muslims together and they burn all the same flickering lights of nothingness into the night.

I insist on what I wrote John on Jan 10, 2021
on property prices that are the same as another Muslim country like Kuala Lumpur. Fuel prices are the same and it is not such a rich country with a wealth of citizens. I estimate that the prices are a bubble due to the mediation of banks or entrepreneurs who lend naively expecting a high interest rate.
It is no coincidence that people from countries that are bankrupt are looking for work and are looking for the land of promise.
I estimate that money has gone to the Balkans and Asia is more reasonable in cost of living and real estate purchases.
No one answers who knows and everyone writes for a job search.

ΝEW I wonder while Dubai is about 8% more expensive than Athens and in Athens you need 850 euros to live in Dubai you need about 2500 euros. I estimate that they have entered the Dubai market, whether businessmen or banks, and have created a bubble market.
The same has been done in Thailand Bangkok where the cost of living is about 550 euros with the cost of buying an apartment in the center is 3500-4000 euros.
In Bangkok is the German bank Deutsch Bang with Chinese banks and Russian manufacturers who have even created real estate bubbles. Many Germans, Norwegians marry Thai fakes who transfer all their rights because the law forbids
They are crazy about what they buy or want to launder money from smuggling or drug trafficking. Thailand will lose the quality buyer. The same will happen in Dubai.
While the cost of living buying products is almost the same with differences of about 5% -9% in both Bulgaria, Serbia, Thailand the money you need to live has a huge difference.
If you want send me where you owe the price difference. I am not referring to very expensive areas of Dubai but to popular neighborhoods within the city center.

Hey, 15K AED is good to move to Dubai? with 2 kids and a wife? is it enough to make standard living and some savings?

30k in Dubai as a single will give you a good mid class life.
There’s no city centre in Dubai, just get a good modern Studio or 1bhk in area nearby work office.
Now you can rent a 1bhk for even less than 40k AED a year.
A good midclass life on a whole will set you back 16k a month all inclusive with rent, groceries, lavish lifestyle and traveling

None here has given what would be a great salary for a family of 4. 40000AED per month with two school going kids with 3 or 4 bed room house/flat and a car with comfortable lifestyle. I might be getting almost similar salary in London but tax gain should not be wasted in spending more. I'd expect to save more or double if possible.

Hi, I’am offered a job for a salary of 60000AED, while moving to Dubai with my family , we are 6 persons as a family. Is it affordable?!?

Depends on your current lifestyle and qualification in India.
With 10k to save a chunk out of it you should probably live in a shared flat and use public transportation: is that good for you?
It can be also a stepping stone to get into UAE market and then search for a better opportunity, but don’t expect big chances while the economy is in the current state, due to Covid salaries are depressed

As a westerner wiith good experience try to not accept nothing below 25k AED a month + benefits, otherwise is not worth moving from USA.
Mind that as an American you’ve to file for tax return to FATCA.
Now due to Covid and layoffs salaries are low due to oversupply of talents.
If possible try to apply for American companies that have offices in Dubai, otherwise the other international or local big players like Emirates, Noon, Careem, TikTok, Oracle, Emaar, ...

About 1BHK rents:
In Dubai there’s no concept of “city centre”, are all isolated neighborhoods with different standards and services.
There’s a hood named “Downtown “ but that just a name like another.
We can consider “city Centre” the most modern hoods: Barsha Heights has1bhk for 4K a month.
We can consider “outside city centre “ the old hoods: Al Barsha has 1bhk for 3k a month.
In general real estate prices are low now.

UAE didn’t sign the 1951 convention on refugees, so they don’t have obligations over refugees, btw they implemented a 1 year visa for people from war zones.
Thing is that UAE needs a foreign population that is dynamic and replaceable: no welfare exploitation, no permanent residency, always on temporary visa that keeps the expats active in job positions; this makes impossible for a refugee to stay if not that is educated enough to get a job and keep it..
Also being Arab in Dubai doesn’t give you any privilege if not you’re khaliji maybe.

Good day!

I'm a licensed Professional Teacher here in the Philippines, and has been teaching for 8 years, with a Masters Degree.
I am very much interested in teaching in Dubai, kindly enlighten me of how much does a Teacher earn there? Is there a difference from
a Govt school to a Private School pay scale? how much is the cost of living on an average for a single person, i don't drink and go for social gatherings, so typically my objective is to work and earn as much as I can.

Thank you.

Looking to move to Dubai. Need to understand what the monthly salary average is for a senior logistics professional.

I'm.british

Thanks

Hi!

We were offered a job with a net salary of 20,000usd or 73,000AED per month net (combined income). The company will cover education cost for our 12yo to attend international school, private health care and other perks BUT accommodation is on us.

How much does a 3bed apartment within close proximity to the airport DXB would cost?

What are the other fixed running cost to live in Dubai?

Average grocery cost per month for a family of three?

How does this compare to Europe? We are currently based in Central Europe and with a monthly running cost of 7,000usd or 25,000AED we are living rather comfortably Very close to the city centre in a “residential family friendly area”. Does this setting exist in Dubai?

Survive yes, but nothing more.
Midclass starts from 25k especially if you’ve a weatern lifestyle.
A studio in good area is 5k a month, monthly internet for home 350 aed, ticket for the opera 200 aed, a crappy pint of Heineken 45 aed, main course in mid range chain restaurant like Chili’s 80 aed.
There’s no welfare, so no point if you cannot save at least 40% of the salary

<h1>How much do you need for a job in dubai</h1>

Sir I am from India , I finished engineering in civil branch . Now am fresher , I am interested to job in dubai...please suggest me any vacancy is there in dubai and how much salary they give me ??

#char
Firstly with 7+ years of experience the salary is low especially. Please note the current family visa requires minimum salary of AED 4,000 or AED 3,000 plus accommodation. Education is extremely costly in dubai.i am not sure how old is your child but at this salary it would be difficult to afford schooling unless you get some education allowance. The salary should be at least 3 times your current salary in india to manage for your expenses and make some savings.

Maybe, but you'll have an uncomfortable lifestyle on that salary. And judging it, the "accommodation" must be a bunk bed with 5 Pakistani and Bengali workers in one room.

Hello,

I’m offered 1700 AED. Accomodation and transportation are covered by company. Is that enough for single person to live decent?

I have been offered 4000AED for IT Auditor without food and accommodation. I am a single person. Is this the good salary to go ahead ?

Bachelor minimum 5000
Married atleast 15000
Family with kids 25000
Minimum .....

Please confirm that salary of 6,000AED is sufficient for a single person in Dubai?
Transportation and Accommodation is included in this salary.

The spread sheet in the first comment is superb! Even though it`s old the numbers are still more or less correct. I used this this before moving here and it gave me a very good idea of what to expect and how to budget. I also suggest going on dubizzle and looking at house prices to give you an idea of what it costs to rent in differnt areas.

Although it slowed down, salary dump is a constant move in certain industries of the city due to fierce competition; in engineering now they’re poaching a lot from Eastern Europe creating the “UK effect “. It heavily depends on the company btw

Hi, I've been offered a job for a Software Engineer, in Dubai. The company is offering AED 13.5k per month, and no accommodation, food and travel. All will be on me. Please suggest whether this is a sufficient with a little amount of savings involved, or not.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi, am released an offer which is quite reasonable but no one has directly spoken to me yet, it was just mail communication even was to take resume then offer was released, am drafting mails to them even to which no responses, As per the offer am asked to incur visa and travelling expenses then i can claim once i report in office. They confirm that it is as per labor norms. I was routed to immigration consultant to get the progress done. By exploring the sources in web seems genuine but i dont have POC to assist or to get confidence. Can i initiate the process by paying the amount please?

I have got an office with 5500AED per month. And the accommodation is provided by the company. Is it enough for a couple?

My husband has been offered 18000 AED per month. Is this enough for a couple and 2 year old kid to have a good life in Dubai?

All what i think is the cost of living is alittle bit high compared with Doha Qatar,if only the basic monthly wedges were to be consinderd a little bit high it could be reasonable and worthwhile.

Hi
I’m a tool and die maker making 30$ per hour. What would that be in Dubai ?
What does AED stand for?

The salary range mentioned in my post is monthly.

I have been offered a role as a lead software architect with 33000 plus 9000 accommodation plus 3000 transportation total 45000aed per month with tickets insurance bonus. I am looking to move with my mrs and two kids. Is this salary enough for family of 4 to live with good standards.

I have received a contract to sign for a job offer in dubai,
I want people from Engineering background to evaluate the condition of this contract and advise me if this is a reasonable contract , because I almost take nearly 75% of the same in my own country >
Total compensation : AED 45,000 per month
Basic Salary : AED 33.550 per month
Housing Allowances AED: 15,950 monthly
Transportation Allowances 3,300 per month
Cost of living monthly AED 2,200
Other include Tickets and health insurance

please advise

If 75k is the monthly salary that’s a super salary and you’ll be the king of the city.
If that’s yearly don’t think about stepping into Dubai for that salary

Forget the comments about failed expats here below that accept slave salaries,

For Dubai don’t move for less than 25k like you would do for London or Silicon Valley, with at least those money and no kids you can have a good life in UAE

For Single hardworking young man at the age range of 25-27years old and a Degree holder (BSc)
