I have seen few of their packages to the experienced physicians. It's one of the best package in this part of the world.

There is always a scope for negotiation, if you are not happy with the package.

Thank you for the information.  I have heard that the salary is competitive, but wish I knew more specifics...  I would far rather live in Dubai than Abu Dhabi so am wondering which hospital pays more.  I don't mean to sound greedy, it's just a big decision.

Dubai will be more enjoyable to live at for you as a western. Usually salaries are higher in Abu Dhabi than the rest of the emirates, and CCAD will give you more exposure in terms of the physicians you work with and the medical equipment you will have access to. It will look better on your resume.

Some expats used to work in Abu Dhabi and live in Dubai, since its 60-90 mins drive (depenping on where you live and where you get off at). However, since last year if you work for 100% owned government entities and dont provide a valid proof that you live in Abu Dhabi you lose the housing allowance which can be up to 40% of the total package.

I hope this helps.

Thank you, that is very helpful.
