Hello - I'm considering taking a 6-12 month position in Abu Dhabi and I want to be sure that the allowance I'm being offered will cover my expenses.
How much should I budget for a 2 bedroom apartment or villa in a family friendly community? It'll be for myself, my wife and our 3 year old. We don't need luxury, but I don't want a dump either. My wife likely won't have a car, so she'll need to be able to entertain herself and our daughter with walking/taxi.
I'll be working on Al Maryah Island and I'd like to keep the commute as short as I can. I'm not sure what that means in Abu Dhabi, but if I can be at work in under 1/2 an hour, I'd be happy.
I'll also need to rent a car for the duration of my stay. What can I expect to pay for that?
Thanks a lot!
Brendan

The closest residential areas to Al Maryah are Tourist Club Area or Al-Reem Island. TCA is better if your wife will be using taxis.
Hiring a car will set you back between 2-3,000 Dibs a month for a long term rental, depending on which car you want.
Great - thanks for the info!
