Salary Comparison!

Nader79

I live and work in Saudi Arabia and I am considering a new offer in Casablanca...hoewever the total package offered is less than what was I am getting in Jeddah and they told me Morocco is way cheaper than the Gulf!  Can anyone fill me in what is considered to be a decent salary in Casablanca - to save and have fun? I am single by the way.

Hi Nader79,

Welcome to Expat-blog! :)

I hope other members will be able to advise you.

shahrukh khan

consider this:
4000 dhms for decent house
3000 dhms for fooding
2000 dhms for transportation etc
2000 dhms for leisure activities
In around 10000 dhms, u can live very good in morocco. 15 to 20 k salary per month is good enough but then u can spend money in any way..cheers

Thank you very much Christine for your kind reply and support!

TO give further details I am currently getting a 4,000 Euros package in GCC (KSA), spent as such:

1,000 Euros (Accomodation, Utilities, Travel Expenses)
400 Euros (Food + Dine Out)
500 Euros (Travel & Leisure)
200 Euroes (Phone + Internet)
400 Euros (Miscellaneous expenses)

So I end up saving 1,500 Euros only.

What would be a similar package in Morocco in terms of yield savings after subtracting cost of living. Of course I will not need to Travel so much when I am in a party city like Casa but I will sure spend the 500 Euros per month clubbing then :)

Wow Shahruh Khan - the COL is really cheaper in Casa!! I geuss then to save 1500 Euros there (around 15,000 dhms), same as in Saudi now, my salary should be withing 25-30K. 

I promise you and Christine a dinner invitation if a good job offer in Casa materialised for me! :)

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Hi SK,
Which international banks are there in El Jadida?  I would be very much interested in any bank having a branch in UAE as well.
Hoping to meet you next month,
Cheers
