It's an impossible question to answer because it depends on so many things. Some people live here on a salary of Dh600 a month, others spend that on one meal in a five star hotel.

Rent depends entirely on what you want - some people bed share, others live ten to a room while others live in large luxury villas.

The same applies to food. You can buy a meal in a small local Indian restaurant for five dirhams or you can spend hundreds in an upmarket restaurant.

Taxis are metered with Dh3 flagfall and Dh1.71 per kilometre. Minimum fare is Dh10.

Metro fares depend on how many zones you travel. One zone is Dh2.50 five zones is Dh6.50. Details on

perfect information me and Tati (wife) will use it

Ill try

First of all congrats. GET READY TO HAVE SOME FUN!

ok RENT SUCKS its better if you are acccomodated. HOWeVER you can live in MIrdiff its far but the shorooq homes ARE BEAUTIFUL we were blessed there for a month but then had to move due to other reasons. rent is 35-40 000 you can pay them every 6 months.

Food: well we are a family of four and my mother would cook everyday. Regular healthy food with rice. She would spend 3000 per month (shamppooo+toothpaste+etc) included.

Taxi: IS CHEAP! but u can rent a simplest car like yaris toyota for 2000 dirhams per month. however u can own a car for 2000 dirhams a month-a matter of preference. my mom prefers to buy I prefer to rent. its difficult for me to maintain it. I rather have someone do it for me

Internet: depending on where u live u can get simple usb net for 300-400 a month. My brother prefered getting it installed for 400 per month. the usb one was better for me because I could connect in the car during my free periods etc.

movies: 30 dirham
burger king menu: 25 dirham
units depending on how much u babble: 100 per month should be enough if u dont waste
gym: 16000 for men, 8000 for women how cool is that LOL
baskin robins: 10dirham per scoop
frappo: 25 dirham
1 hour ice skatiing: 30 dirham
dinning at sheraton: 150 dirham each night is differetn...chinese, italian, iranian,etc special resturants 300-400 (like labenese rest--MAGNIFICENT TASTE!must try)
dinning out on a boat (cruise)- it can vary from 300-1000dirhams

u can take education courses LOL Im considering masters but its 27000 dollars lol dont have that much and I dont know how serious I am about that

thats right on top of my head....if u have anything be sure to ask

PS- if your salary is 10 000 and ur accomodated ull do fine, but if ur not accomodated GOODLUCK!

I HUGE ADVICE: lets say you come down here work for a year and find a different job. I DONT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE EMPLOYER but they give bad reference and refuse to give NOC (NO objection LeTTeR)no matter how great uve worked. My friends went through that trouble SO MUCH! so u need be careful and ReALLLY have good relations and find and extremely convincing reason to why you are leaving...your new boss will always look for someone with an NOC!

another huge advice: lol i forgot it slipt Ill comeback and edit once I rememebr
