Thanks in advance! In general real estate prices are low now. Things would change tho if you get at least a 10k job: 20k total move you barely into midclass and with a prudent lifestyle you can enjoy Dubai and still save a chunk, but mind education for the kid is very expensive.
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..
Anonymous on Apr 13, : Can someone explain why refugees don't come to Dubai? They have the same Arab culture. Maybe it's because Dubai don't want refugees? But then why Europe should take those people since it's different culture?

The salary should be at least 3 times your current salary in india to manage for your expenses and make some savings. Anonymous on Dec 07, : Muniy Prasaath Seems not so good salary for the role. I can share a simple math which I follow. Ofcourse it works if you have a simple to moderate life style. And judging it, the "accommodation" must be a bunk bed with 5 Pakistani and Bengali workers in one room.
Accomodation and transportation are covered by company. Is that enough for single person to live decent? Not sure about transportation. Is it a good offer? I am a single person. Is this the good salary to go ahead? Char on Oct 18, : Hi friends..

Anon on Aug 04, : I'm a software engineer, having about 9 years of experience. I'm being offered a salary of AED Is this a good offer. I have a family of three, and our kid is going to school.
It heavily depends on the company btw Vijay Rana on Jul 05, : it depends how you wanna live as a tourist in Dubai, you have offers for every standard. If you wanna live in a shared dormitory in Deira and eat in cafeterias you can get by spending 80 AED a day with food and transportation, if you wanna stay closer to the tech companies areas and have a proper hotel you need way more like AED a day at least, this counting that this season is low season and hotels are very cheap compared to the rest of the year.
That said, is a very quiet period for Dubai job market, not very easy to find jobs even for highly qualified engineers. How much would I need to earn to sustain my family of 4.
My kids are 10 and My kids would need to go to an international school Riasat masih on May 30, : Hi guys I want visit to Dubai from Pakistan Please expense for me my wife and two children under 12years Anonymous on May 29, : Hi, I've been offered a job for a Software Engineer, in Dubai.

Please suggest whether this is a sufficient with amount of savings involved, or not Thanks in advance!! Mahe on May 24, : 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? Hussain on May 23, : Hi all. And yes, you can. But as we are talking about basic expenses, this AED is already a modest figure — to think that this is NOT a complete daily frequency of 3x a day.
TIP: Do your own grocery in a supermarket so you can cook your own food and bring a packed lunch as well as snacks to your place of work.
This will really help keep the budget lower. In big companies and hotels, usually transportation is free and provided by the company in the form of private shuttle buses that would take you to and from your accommodation and work during specific schedules. You will have to pay for your own transportation expense. Taxi rides will cost you a minimum of AED 12 per way so the best option is taking public transport.
DEWA is the term for the water and electricity in Dubai. Electricity and water bills for a single person renting a bed space will roughly cost AED Internet is usually provided together with your accommodation and comes as a freebie.
Even if you have WiFi, you will not be able to call them. You need to pay for VoIP services so you can contact your family back in your home country. After all you have to spend for your maintenance and you need to buy your toilettries. It is mandatory that you have health insurance in Dubai. Basic health insurance is already provided by your sponsor.
But most basic insurances do not include dental costs. So if you wish to have more coverage, you might need to purchase a separate premium. On another note, we have 3 items we need to discuss which may not be BASIC, but are still very important expenses especially to a lot of OFWs and expats.
The amount is a variable but should still be included in your monthly expenses. You are not going to be an expat in the UAE forever. We will all become old and we will eventually go back to our home countries. Savings should be priority so that we can have a back-up and funding for our retirement. You left your home country in the search of better opportunities abroad.
I leave this up to you how much you need to allot as this is dependent on your situation. Should ideally be more if you have a big family. As your routine normally revolves around house to office, you will eventually develop a lifestyle when you are living abroad. This includes what you spend on your free time.
Whether you hang out with friends, go to the gym , travel to other places , play sports, or just develop other skills. This is also dependent on your interests and hobbies. For a gym membership, a cheap monthly fee is around AED in your local gym. Otherwise, you can allot a budget for this. Homesickness as well as mental health are real and serious issues you will face at some point in your expat life so please keep these in mind.
Agree or not? This monthly expense overview hopes to guide you to make a wise decision before agreeing to a job offer and moving to the UAE. This is still a modest figure because again, you are living in a bed space accommodation, you are NOT eating 3x a day with this amount, and the money that you send home is limited to AED. If you are moving to Dubai with your family , definitely your expenses will be more.
As you are going to spend for school education and other basic necessities for your family members too. Or if you plan to have a car , you will need to pay for petrol and maintenance. Summary Dubai may often express itself in media as a place of luxury and wealth, and sometimes salaries are also exaggerated.
There is also a common misconception especially for OFWs that when you work overseas, you are already making big money — which is totally wrong. If you come here with less to zero work experience, you will most likely start from the bottom and build your way up your career ladder. So please, before accepting any job offer , make sure that you have enough take-home pay for yourself and for your family back home. Do not just agree to take any job without considering these expenses. Take note that the salary varies on your position and the industry where you will be working.
I will be creating another topic about monthly salary expectations. I hope that this honest and practical guide I presented will give you a better idea about the actual monthly expenses so you can manage your salary expectations when looking for work opportunities. At the Old Souk. My current salary is more than what was initially offered to me which made me accept this job with a limited contract. After finding out the common salary bracket of sales employees inside the mall, I realized that I was lucky enough to have this pay.
With the cost of living in Dubai rising, it was a big question for me if a Pinoy can save in the UAE. I had to ask how much is the monthly expense of an average Pinoy here? Much has been said about the extravagant life that Dubai offers. But such is not the case. Plenty of workers and expats are trying to make ends meet by sacrificing some of their basic needs in order to save enough money to still send some for their families back home.
Tallying my expenses, it somehow proves that Dubai is an expensive city to live for Pinoys. But a lot of people have made it. With the rough draft above of the expenses one can incur in Dubai, it makes me wonder if Filipinos can really save money in the UAE.
Well the answer is YES, but…. Yes, but… you will have to sacrifice the first few years of employment to establish yourself in your chosen field. Gain experience and seek employment with better pay.
By then, you can charge a better rate. Not going out often is also another option. Dubai Taxi minimum fare is AED 12 per journey. One insightful conversation I had with a Pakistani taxi driver the other day was an eye-opener. Accept whatever job that is offered to you. Stay and finish your contract, but while in your current job, you can start searching for the next one. Groceries in Dubai are reasonably priced compared to other cities, but imported products can be very expensive.
Gadgets, international fashion brands and everything else in between is on offer in these massive shopping centres. Expats who enjoy shopping will relish the Dubai shopping festival where all sorts of bargains are to be found. In general, due to low import duties, household electronic goods are reasonably priced, but clothing can still be expensive.
