HI im a British national who is a physiotherapist holding a Masters degree. I have been offered a job in a reputed hospital in Abu Dhabi and been offered a salary of 22000AED pm all inclusive.

Thanks in advance- Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Welcome to expat-blog!

I suggest you to go through topics on the Cost of living in Abu Dhabi, where you may find out more information.

Just spoken to the hospital this morning and reported they are willing to pay 25000 gross with medical insurance and inclusiveof all benefits. Reading the other blogs, iam cconsidering to move as a bachelor as I can see that family accommodation and schooling fees are. quite expensive(free in the UK)
