530

Hamriyah Free Zone is after Sharjah, towards Ajman. You will probably reside in Sharjah/Ajman area, for convenience of commuting. Until you obtain your UAE driving license and a vehicle, you will be dependent on your colleagues for transport to and fro work.
AED 12K would be bare minimum, with hardly any significant savings. Depends on what you get now in India. Also the employer will have to cover your family for medical insurance, this cost is high here, and so will be school expenses.
