Hi all,

I know that this question is asked alot and is not easily answered, but any input will help. im moving over to Dubai mid Feb, and just trying to work out some sort of budget. I am moving over alone, my company will sort out my accomadation, but would just like to get a rough figure on some expenses.

Food: (single person, not a lavish lifestyle, home cooking etc)
Gym contract: monthly or yearly
Toiletries etc: (toothpaste, soap, detergent etc)
internet:
TV package: (e.g. DSTV)

Thanks

2500+1000+100+500 = AED monthly for the items listed, last figure includes TV, Internet and home telephone included in single package.  These are estimates but may vary from person to person.
