Hi Yaw,

I can see that this is a project driven contract otherwise it will not be for 6 months to be renewed

Honestly speaking if you will be staying in abu dhabi and dubai, rents are quite high but i see that you are given additional housing allowance aed 60 k which should be fine for 1-2 bed room apt in selected locations

For the salary of 15 k, initial setup cost might be high in these2 cities hence i doubt you be able to save anything provided that you indicated the contract for 6 months only.

If you are not bringing ur family onboard, then you could share the accomodation with someone and share the rent

My opinion 15 k is good provided that you will not be doing the followups associated with electriciy, phone, looking for apt, buying furniture

Ask your employer if they could offer you a furnished apt and then it might be less of a burden and worth depending in what your standard of living means

Hope this clarifies

Hi Yaw,

Welcome to ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ

I invite you to have a look at other topics on the Cost of living in Dubai section, it might help you.

Thanks

First thing - check regarding the company which gave you the offer, if genuine.  There is a bit of fraud going on there with job related scams.
'Second' class ticket?  That is kind of funny, and makes it suspicious.
