Hi I have been offered a job in a medical centre in al ain. The salary offered is 18000 aed including accomodation and transport.聽 Health insurance is provided by the company and yearly air ticket is also provided besides the salary. I want to know that can I get a decent accommodation and will I be able to save any money. I live a simple lifestyle. Monthly movie and once in a week dinner in a restaurant is enough for me.
IS THIS聽 SALARY ENOUGH FOR A COUPLE WITHOUT KIDS TO SURVIVE ?? Ur EARLY AND DETAILED REPLIES ABOUT FOOD AND ACCOMODATION COST WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

3k will be excluding rent. The rents VARY FROM LOCATION YOU WANT. A descent 1 or 2 bHK appartment will cost you anywhere between 40-50 k per year. Also look at dubbizle.com
There are many advertisements about the accomodation. If you want i can give you contact number of the agent from who i got our home
