What salary would we need to live in Dubai?
Hello, My husband and I have been to Dubai a few times and love it. During our last visit he was offered a job as a kitchen designer with a monthly salary of 12,500 AED and told that with commission from sales he could make an extra 8,000 AED per month.
I currently work in the civil service (for UK Visas and Immigration) and we have a 3 year old son attending nursery here in the UK.
We wanted to find out what the minimum salary would be for us to be able to relocate to Dubai and live comfortably. I will also be working but am unsure what sort of work I will be able to find at the moment as although I have been looking for the past 6 months there are very few vacancies at the British Embassy. I am currently doing a part-time course to qualify as a teaching assistant.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what our monthly salary should be to live in Dubai? We would more than likely rent a 2 bed flat, in a location that's more downtown (i.e not Jumeriah). We usually stay in Bur Dubai so don't mind travelling for work as long as it's near a metro station. We don't have much of a social life as we tend to cook more at home and maybe visit friends once every 2 weeks so I know we won't have a big outgoing in that department.
Any advice given would be much appreciated.
Thank you
