Hi all, I've been offered a job in Abu Dhabi and they've offered me 165,000 per year plus healthcare. But that's it, would that be enough for one person to live a decent lifestyle? And what would be the difference if it were to support 2 people?

Thanks and I appreciate your help!

So basically we are talking about 13,750 AED per month. Is accommodation excluded? If yes then that is good enough for one person.

Thanks for your reply! Yes, I get 13,500 per month but accommodation has to come out of that as I have no accommodation allowance. Are you saying that this won't be enough once I pay for housing?

my 2 cents..it all depends on your lifestyle.
You can rent a studio apartment from 4-6K/month (from Apartment to service apartments)....close to 35-40% of your sal would be on renting.
