HI im a British national who is a physiotherapist holding a Masters degree. I have been offered a job in a reputed hospital in Abu Dhabi and been offered a salary of 22000AED pm all inclusive.

We are a less expenditure and maintanence family and would like to also if we may be able to save around £1500 to send to the UK to cover some loans. Any advice would be greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance- Jeremy

Just spoken to the hospital this morning and reported they are willing to pay 25000 gross with medical insurance and inclusiveof all benefits. Reading the other blogs, iam cconsidering to move as a bachelor as I can see that family accommodation and schooling fees are. quite expensive(free in the UK)

Hello Hamza,

Welcome to expat.com!

Kindly note that you have posted on a thread that was last active in 2013!

In case you don't find any answer here, I advise you to start your own thread on the Abu Dhabi forum.

Cheers,
