Job offer

I think is an average offer for Dubai. Mind you, the accommodation is very expensive their and your company seem to have covered this. Compared to Saudi you will definitely have a good life (in general) there.

For a school teacher , who is single !


It's a good offer

What about medical insurance , that matters , is it included ?

I will ask them about that but I am just concerned because people say the expenses in Dubai are too much and I am not sure the 2178 will be enough to cover the basics and allow me to save some money

The accomodation is the most expensive part and since it has been taken care by the employer, so in my opinion it sounds a good deal !! Good Luck

You're getting accommodation , as you're single , it will be shared !


Apart from that , it's an OK Package !

2178 $ are just for your expenses , shopping etc , now it depends on how much you shop

Haha well I definitely accept shared accommodation but umm.. At least the condition of the shared accommodation must be acceptable. I mean can you imagine 5 girls sharing one room or even 3 sharing a room? And 7 sharing idk one bathroom. Gee that ain't a living condition

You're right  , but am sure it will be a proper accommodation in a good ratio of sharing

Even if you don't like the shared accommodation I guess you can opt out and take housing allowance , not sure , just have a talk with your employer !

Then rent will be a bit heavy on your savings !

A studio would be enough for you costing around 500$ or less , not sure about Dubai


Any more queries , feel free to ask

Thanks for the reassurance Captain

You can ask your agency for details on the accommodation and possible some photos. If you like it and the arrangement with sharing....i think it is decent offer to begin with. Food and others is just the same as everywhere else in GCC, more or less.

My pleasure , helping others


Don't thank me , just teach me the periodic table

Hah! Is there anything to be taught about it? I can teach you about the classification though :p

See Moneywise you know your needs better. But, initially going and taking experience there is no harm. you can start with it and later find yourself a better oppurtunity there itself after knowing place around.

Also tell us how you got the offer through job portal or a consultant. it can help many looking to shift dubai.

'Good life' is  subjective. To some, living in Saudi is better. I'd say you'll have a different life in Dubai.

Stay away from the malls and you should be fine.
