what country are you from? Is it 2000 or 20000, 2000 is just a little over double what a maid makes...if accomodation it depends on what u want to spend money on...if it is 2000 and u r from 3rd world country and just wanting to send money home I guess it is better than most from those countries, but if u are western and want to live a lavish life then 2000 is not very good. Find out what kind of accomodations and stuff...I would ask for higher and SIGN before u come because they can change it once u get here...ask what is included and ticket home etc...which country are you from first of all...that makes a big difference here sadly...

2000 for an engineer? No way. In the UAE, each schooling degree a person has, determines his average salary. No one can give an engineer that salary. Either he meant 20000 or the people hiring him are not serious.

RAK seems very safe, dont worry.
if strictly for food and some basic expense like hair cut etc. 2000 is enough.
if ur getting food cheap, u can save 500 to 1000. dont worry
it all depends on how much u want to save and how well u want to live.
you get decent food here at restaurants like better taste for 50 dhs a day and u have it subsidised, so u'll save.
