This depends on your lifestyle and standards of living:

If you are willing to share accommodation, cook your own lunch, share a transport with a friend or a colleague... you will save almost half what you make.

If you want to rent your own studio, possibly (if you have family members with you, 1 bedroom), you want to rent your own car/ get a car loan, you want to go out and treat your self daily... then it is probably not enough...

goodluck

Ok .... u can save alot fo money ...U can look for shared accomodation where u can pay max 1,500 per month but if want to rent a one bed room flat u will not find less than AED 4,000 per month.

Other than that no major cost, there is a private taxi which is little costly and public buses cost u AED 1only take u to all places in abu dhabi 24 hours
