Doubt in my job offer

I have been offered a position in Abu Dhabi with a base salary of 27000AED/month, plus car allowance and 80% education allowance for the kids. There is no house allowance. Medical is covered 100% and flights back to Canada once a year. Can someone help and let me know if this is a good package to accept for a family of four.

Hi! I am also looking for employment and relocation to UAE and have been researching this somewhat.

From what I've read, housing is very expensive in Abu Dhabi and you have to pay a significant amount up front. However, in contrast you are getting 80% education allowance for your two kids and the private schools are also very expensive. In my, admittedly non-expert, opinion, I think it may be a very good package depending on your experience and position.

Can you give me any pointers or advice in job hunting for the UAE? I'm also in IT; Sr Software Engineer and Project Manager. Any advice or website resources would be very appreciated.

Thank you and good luck!
