Average is 12 k
I.e 12,000 AED .
Atleast 15000 k would be a comfortable number
Family its more .

But it also depends where will you stay
And ur lifestyle .

Remember accommodation is very expensive there .
Also health care , education .

There are costs with regards to
Electricity , water , phone , internet, cable
Transport, food gas ,utilities , etc .

First ask if accommodation is or will provided to you.
You have addressed the transport issue.

I suggest you to stay single and get to know the expenses. You can think about bringing your wife only if she can find a job here. Or else life will be a struggle.
