that can be considered, but would all depend on the kind of lifestyle you will have. If you intend to have a sort of a work-home itinerary for your entire contract then you'll be able to survive and save a little bit.

IF you want my honest opinion, that isnt very much money to live in dubai, let alone be able to save up. But again obviously depends on ur lifestyle, where u will be living, whether u will be in shared accomodation etc.

I believe you need to do more research as this salary us relatively low, and you Ned to make sure that you can live by it.
