Hi I have been offered a job in a medical centre in al ain. The salary offered is 18000 aed including accomodation and transport.  Health insurance is provided by the company and yearly air ticket is also provided besides the salary. I want to know that can I get a decent accommodation and will I be able to save any money. I live a simple lifestyle. Monthly movie and once in a week dinner in a restaurant is enough for me.
IS THIS  SALARY ENOUGH FOR A COUPLE WITHOUT KIDS TO SURVIVE ?? Ur EARLY AND DETAILED REPLIES ABOUT FOOD AND ACCOMODATION COST WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

Hi Rizwan1234, what exactly is the job if you don't mind me asking?

drdeepak

3 k to 4 k is quite sufficient for couple.
We are also new to Al Ain and attached to hospital. Lets form a group

rizwan1234

Thanks for your reply. Do you mean to say that 3k to 4k salary per month  is sufficient for a couple  including house rent and other monthly expenditure like groceries etc ????  Can u give  me an idea of current average rent in al ain . Thanks in advance.

drdeepak

3k will be excluding rent. The rents VARY FROM LOCATION YOU WANT. A descent 1 or 2 bHK appartment will cost you anywhere between 40-50 k per year. Also look at dubbizle.com
There are many advertisements about the accomodation. If you want i can give you contact number of the agent from who i got our home

Yes please send me the agent's  name and the contact details. Thank you very much for the detailed reply. I really appreciate it.
