HI Michael,

It really depend on you situation & life style
how many years experience do you have, are you single or not??

this can change everything,

For a European level, this salary is low, but this is what the market takes these days in Dubai.  You can manage as a single person, not much savings though.

Thanks MJRV

what then the right level for a european single??
do you have a avrage of min/max salary

That is a terrible salary for a european supply chain analyst.  It should be at least 75%-100% more. 

You will save nothing.

Hi Amarka,

Unfortunately the Middle East countries do not have any norm for minimum or maximum salary levels, except perhaps in Government jobs where they may have scales for grades.  Private companies can pay anything they like and get away with it.  You may assume at least 5K for rent, about 3-4K for food and refreshment, 1K for transport (car), another 1 or 2K for other expenses.  This is for a single person.

make that 3K per month, if transporting by Taxi.

I honestly think you will not be able to save any money with that package. Dubai is an expensive city.

I think this is not good salary, you will not be able to save money man, the city is tempting you to spend more and more money.

good luck
