Hi Sally Ann,

A lot of sites quote average prices in Dh is this equivalent to AED? - Yes, Dh or Dhs is the abbreviation for Dirhams so the same as AED

I need to know the average cost of:

Etisalat offer a package called E-Life which includes a phone line/internet/TV for AED 539 per mth

average restaurant price - depending on where you eat anything from AED 300-1,500 per couple but a good average would be around AED 500-600

pool /gym prices - Fitness First costs approx AED 300-400 per mth depending on the package

Good luck
