Llenubian,
Thank you very much for your answer.
I guess my biggest problem is that I have the most interest in working in Dubai or Qatar and since I don't have any professional or personal contact there is being really complicated.
Can you please provide me any job seeker website good for foreingers?

Vanessa Mendes
You can get a better job with those skills

Personally I think that is not enough for your skills.
With that amount you can survive not live. Not good for saving. Unless the hotel offers you meals and accommodation then you will be set.Things are very costly. Rentals in the nice areas is close to buying a house cash in mostly countries.
I have found that in supermarkets prices I would are OK not cheap. Restaurants for a family or 2-4 friends outing/meal be ready to send $300 not over the top meal.Fantastic modern city, very good for raising kids without worry of crime, expensive.
JOB OFFER = 7.500 AED/month

Hello,
I was offered a job as a Tours Executive at a travel agency in Dubai.
Salary is 7.500 AED/month. No benefits.
I speak 7 languages, I am graduated in Management and I also have a Master in Strategy and another one in Hotel Management. 9 years experience in tourism company. Last job: Project Manager for a tourism company in Portugal.
I'm 27 and going alone.
I would have to have the opinion of someone living in Dubai. I guess this kind of money isn't enough not even to survive but the company is arguing it is good money.
Is it possible to live decently + save money with this kind of salary??I would really appreciate an answer since I have to give some answer as quickly as posible.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Vanessawhat an expensive life there
