Yet Another Salary Question!

just go for it, good deal, salary is ok, no taxes and all your expenses are paid, aslong as you stay out of the clubs and don't go too much wining and dining you will safe, the cost of living is cheaper then UK, just check your medical coverage, that could be a "no go" with a young child.

True, the salary doesn't appear generous but the benefits are! Could be worth asking if your housing allowance is paid directly to you in which case you could always take a cheaper property and pocket the difference.
I would also ask the value of the 'unspecified furniture allowance'
Otherwise...go for it

Yes the benefits in your package are amazing! I would do it!!

We just moved here in January and I can tell you that your housing allowance (which is about the only part of this move I had to deal with because it is my husband who is being transfered) is 100,000 dirham more than what we were given. With your family size you should have some of that left over at the very least

Thanks for your advice so far. The housing allowance is a "use it or lose it" deal so I don't get to keep any extra.  Alex1971 can I ask why you say that about the medical insurance?

Guess you could use the Housing allowance to furnish up as well.  Medical Insurance for family is pretty much mandatory, so your kid is quite well covered, no worries.  Go for it.

I hope you guys are still available for some answers.....it turns out the housing allowance is 110000aed. I was sold a little white lie from the recruiters it seems. Monthly salary is the same. Furniture allowance is 24000aed and I will receive a half ton allowance shipping. Medical paid and kids school up to 30000aed per year. I'd love some advice on whether you still think this is acceptable for a married couple and infant son.
Thank in advance

Very much acceptable
