is it a good offer? since I do not have kids can I ask to raise my wage? I aim to have a good life quality, sport club, buy me a car (not a lambo neither an awful one), maybe a motorbike,

With a Phd on engineering they ought to offer you a better salary. Their offers depends however on the experience in teaching and surprisingly enough the nationality.

Anyway, since you will be on single status, you can ask then for an equivalent package. Don't call it a wage raise, where by they include your accommodation allowance and children education in the salary which shall pump it up by some 15 000 dirham. In which case you still have to sort out accompdations on your own.

Good luck.

48 working days of annual leave is a good one- you would be able to go to your home country twice in a year - 4 weeks each time.
