Hello

I am considering a move to Dubai with my family and 2 kids. I have been offered a salary of 45,000AED per month which includes 50% education allowance.

Will we be able to live comfortably on his salary ie. be able to go out occassionally, travel, save money compared to Doha.

Is dubai cheaper or more expensive?

Thank you for your response.

Does the salary include housing or is that separate?  What about tickets home and medical?  Education can be very expensive here depending on where you want to send your children.  Housing is also expensive in comparison with Dubai.

Check the classifieds here for a general idea of housing costs.  Email some of the schools for an idea of the education costs and then start from there.

If u have a strong will power to control ur spending habits than only go there.Dubai is very fast and attractive place to live.Doha is gud on the part of savings.If the level of salary is same than stay back here.Trust me u wont be able to save a lot like Qatar in Dubai.Qatar is a paradise for money savers and fortune makers.Dubai is for those who beleives in high end living and it is a better place for high profile persons only.Dont go...

Dubai is definetly better than Doha. Rents are lower , life is better and easier. Their service sector is better than here. Its a great opportunity, do go for it.
