Your salary is bit in lower side for a family. Stay as single for 2 or 3 months and get to know the expenses in this country. You can bring your family If you really think you can afford. Any how, it's better not to lose this opportunity.

I don't think taking advice from people regarding the cost of living since it is purely depends on your lifestyle and it is different from nationalities to nationalities and income to income. Anyone can give advice, but it will be on their own perspectives. Stay single and get used to the expenses. You will get an idea within 2 or 3 months. Any how, you need to spare more than half of your salary for an apartment in Dubai.

1BHK rent - 6,000/month
Electricity/Maintenance/AC - 500 to 1,000/ month
Food - 2,000-3,000 considering you cook at home and don't go outside.

Savings you can calculate.
Not at all a good deal for a couple not willing to share the apartment.
And the rent I am talking about are in the outskirts of Dubai like Jebel Ali, DIP, Discovery Garden. In ares like JLT, Marina etc it would take 2 months salary to pay rent for 1 month.
