Hi,
We have just moved over, husband works for Emirates but not as a pilot as an engineer. We are finding that we have a lot of money left over. I find the food costs about the same as the uk and our furnishing allowance is very generous. One thing I would agree with you on though is the cost of the schools, both my children are under 4 at the moment so not a problem yet for us but I can see it coming. However there are a couple of schools which seem very good and arent extortionate money. Horizon school for example and Raffles. I would say you have to weigh it up against the situation you are in now as to whether its with it for you. Good luck making a decision x
