Hi all,
My family and I are in the thralls of a possibility of moving to Abu dhabi this year. Probably as early as June. It is a relocation via my husband's company however we are querying th package. For us it seems reasonable- eventohugh we have 2 children BUT as we know very little about Abu Dhabi, it's hard to say.
Firstly the package:(AED)
yearly pay: 202 000 (tax free but what does this mean)
Allowances on top of that:(AED)
1. school- hopefully british based education
2. yearly housing of 150 000
3. monthly car allowance- 7 000
4. yearly travel for all back to Uk
5. transfer of belongings (return).
My main concern is the pay and whether this is sufficient for a mdoest living in the UAE. By that I mean basic needs (food, petrol, outing, possibly children's clubs and holidays abroad)
Also I hope to work (well at least part-time or for myself if I can pull this off) as I am a veterinary surgeon with almost 20 years expereience. Anyone nneding a vet to visit them at home?
Anyway, I will appreciate honest feedback especially including quality of life of which I respect would be better in terms of sunshine and kids over fog and mud and depressing winters.
Looking forward to replies.
Byee!!!
