Hi

We stay in Fujairah. You immediately see when you go to Dubai or AD that it is more expensive. Everything seems to be at a premium. You might earn 20% less in Fujairah, but you save 40% on everything else.
Dubai just seems to be the advertising campaign for the UAE.  The rest of the UAE not like that.

Abu Dhabi

Depends on how you define expensive. In the UAE there are 7 Emirates with a city in each. Abu Dhabi and dubai are most expensive, compared to other cities in the world, very expensive but they also pay well. After them, rak is next, cheaper to live in but less to do. Then fujairah, just about livable. The others are not worth going over and are close enough to the other cities that you can easily commute between them.

Opinion of a British expat. Other experiences may vary.

The only difference is the rent of house...otherwise all are almost the same...goe the other expenses of life....the quality of life in dubai and abu dhabi is also better

As per my experience and my own view A.dhabi comes first along with Dubai at second when you ask for Rent.Other expenses are almost well.
Actually it all depend upon your living style ,differ from person to person.
You need to adjust everything according to your earning.
UAE is definitely costly when compared with other popular destinations .

Hi, UAE is one of the best countries in the world, Dubai is the best place to live and Abudhabi is recently awarded as the safest city in the world.

Living cost depends, 1 BHK cost in Dubai 65,000 to 150,000 per year.

may you can try to settle down in Ajman, its very nice and cheap when compare with  Dubai. i love to stay here in Ajman corniche area  its just 20 to 25 mnst drive to Dubai.
