Cost of Living in Dubai

To DubaiResident
With regards to the comments re LGBT , you should remember 1- LGBT ‘rights’ are not universal values and 2- the UAE is a Muslim country . If you are so concerned about LGBT rights then you should leave the UAE and live in France or another European country

To Laura.

Dubai is one of the safest places to live in the world. It's multicultural with all different races living and working together with no issue. From Dubai, you can travel to almost anyone on earth with one to two flights max. There is food from around the world too. We also have religious freedom here and English is widely spoken. Whilst yes, Dubai has some LGBT+ issues, and press freedom to an extent and it gets very hot during the summer. I cannot imagine living anywhere else but Dubai.

Do not judge a place based on what others tell you. It is a desert utopia and like I mentioned LGBT+ issues, there are plenty of LGBT+ here that are loved and not punished.

Please kindly, not talk bad about Dubai.

45K is pretty good, it should cover all that you have stated and a bit more - for nicish areas that are close to the airport you can look at festival city and mirdif

Hey there, I was offered a senior IT job in Dubai for 15000 AED, will this be enough for a single 25yo guy?

As a single person moving to Dubai, is a salary of 20 000aed enough to live comfortably and save?

True, indeed in your case you should move to Dubai only if you land a package that includes education allowance for the children, otherwise no point compared to Europe. Also the cash salary should be x2 minimum the net in Europe

moving to Dubai need to know cost of living and rentals and buying homes

How is this on the salary spectrum in Dubai? Would there be an opportunity to enjoy living, going out in weekends, while making some savings?

Hi, I am working in Indian Banking industry for 10years and making Rs 250k in Mumbai currently.

I have interviewed with Mashreq Bank for Dubai location. What should be acceptable salary so as to maintain similar lifestyle in Dubai and save about AED 10K per month.

Hello, I m living in Dubai UAE since 2006, actually the prices of the apartments are completely different.
I may give you support in case you need to understand the average updated prices of the rent per month and price per square meter.
regards

If your total household income is 32k Aed with a family of 4 you’re not gonna save 5k$ a month (which is pretty much half the salary), someone else has to get a job and based on her/his skills can be easy or hard. Your husband cannot work for long under your sponsorship but the company hiring him should provide him a visa, so no issue. If any of your kids are still in education and your company doesn’t provide schooling allowance gonna be tough to save anything with a mid class lifestyle

Salaries in Dubai are all over the place in every job. International and prominent companies can pay 25k+ for a Senior profile, SMEs just pay bad salaries in general and they exploit employees. Also if you come from developing countries they’ll try to lowball you, just think about a good threshold and don’t accept nothing below it. If you already have a decent mid class life in your country 25k AED a month should be the minimum to accept

How do you really find these jobs with great salaries?
I've been searching for at least a month and they're mostly around 4000 aed. As an architect and filmmaker with more than 7 years experience

Like I have high interest in coming to Dubai, what is the process though. Is there any means like someone looking for in Africa to come and work for them monthly like, companies, individuals or...

I got an offer of 8000 AED as a Developer, I am from Pakistan.
Is this a good salary? Should I consider this proposal?

0.33L imported beer in the marts (alcohol shops) it’s 200-250 Aed for 24 bottles box in Dubai, 100-150 Aed in the other Emirates

I am Canadian and i know Dubai is not democracy for all Indian and phillippian people in Dubai are treated like the black peopele were tretaed in americian a aentury ago

I see many people ask whether XX,0000 per month is a good salary

There is no straight forward answer to this.

The main thing to calculate is :

Where are you from?

I am an indian origin guy in Melbourne.

Home is 14 to 20 hours for me, so benefit of dubai is that i can go home in just 4 hours and go once in a few months.

My friend gets 15k tax free which is similar to what i get after tax here.

If i were to move,

I gotta pay 5k to 6k for an apartment in dubai near my potential employers.

Whereas my 3 bhk house with 2 bathrooms here only cost 4200 aed.

Going to city centre is 35mins in train, which is just 600m away.

My kids can go public school here, but Australian school costs 7 to 8k aed per month.

I can't send them to other schools if certificate is not valid here in case i have to return. Second kid will have another 7k.

So this alone is 21k.

Add living expense then it would be 5k

26k is purely needed to live.

I am still an indian so my skin color and passport will never fetch that salary so i cant move to gcc.

Meanwhile i can make more here with my skills.

Hello everybody. I am 43 years and one employer contacted me for a job in Dubai. How much min salary can I expect? I have done few research regarding that, but I couldn't guess how much they will pay me. So please anyone, if you any knowledge do let me know.

This is the important question.

I'm a single man in the mid 30s.

Is it possible to find a girlfriend in Dubai on AED 15000 a month?

Should I go there as a single or find someone before moving? I have 30 days left

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.

4000 Seems not so good salary for the role. I can share a simple math which I follow. Your salary post conversion should be three times you currently earn, since 1/3 goes into your expenses 1/3 is what you are already earning and the last 1/3 to make it worth working so far. Ofcourse it works if you have a simple to moderate life style.
