Thanks bro. I am still not sure if i should take this or not as saving part compare to my current job in India is not that too high....

Bro let me tell you in detail... 2 bed room flat in a normal area is 65000 AEd per year which is 5416. School fees expect it to be 2000 AED for both of them including transport. Rest all money is yours as I think you are from India i assume your spending habit is not lavish and the cost of Asian food is cheap comparing to western food and lifestyle.
