COST OF LIVING IN DUBAI FOR A FAMILY OF 3

Posted in Dubai forum

Hi Friends,

Got a job offer as Fin Analyst with 20,000AED pm.

Trying to find out the latest current cost of living and unable to find anything recent. Will be really grateful if you all can help me in finding it out.

Want to know the following costs per month (2 adults + 1 child 2yrs):

1) House rental (atleast 2bedroom)(furnished or unfurnished)
2) Cost of furnishing if needed
3) Electricity/Water/Municipal Tax
4) Telephone/Mobile/Cable TV
5) Car rental or lease or loan repayment amt
6) Fuel cost
7) Food expenses - Grocery, Gas etc.
8) Children's education (kindergarten)

I will really appreciate if someone can help me be giving these details or provide me the links of sites where I can get concrete figures and not general views.

Also please mention any other issues/costs that I need to take into account to relocate to Dubai.

Thank you all in advance,

Have a great day,

Deep

    Hi Melanie,

    To start with the kids schooling, dubai has the best school's available. It can be a bit costly depending on the school ranking but its not too expensive.
    Links to diff school's:

    http://www.sheffield-school.com/
    http://www.royaldubaischool.com/

    Once you work in Dubai, they wont require visa. Any british passport holder can get there visa on arrival for a period of one month.

    your partner can come on visit and if he can get a job here and start living with you thts not a problem at all. you can get married later in future.

    Hi Everyone
    I have just joined his site and have a few questions if anyone can help me out?

    Firstly I have done as much research as I can through the internet and I have a few concerns..

    I have two small children aged 3 yrs and 2 yrs what is the education system really like - am I better to negioate in a package schooling for the children - also any ideas how much education is?

    I also have two older children 21 yrs and 18 yrs - they are studying in the UK - should I get them on my visa or do they need to live me with in order to do that?

    My partner and I arent married - is this going to be a problem??

    What is the average salary of a sales manager with 14 years exeprience - this tends to range dramatically and I cant seem to get an average?

    Also I have read there are communities around the city in which are ideal for families - any websites I could look at?

    Any feedback gratefully accepted.........

    Thanks
    Melanie
