There are so many things that are really nice and cool but the price of these cool things is very hot.
There is peace and security in UAE. But rising prices of every thing are really uncomfortable. There is no control on these prices.

Dear All,

Dubai is a nice place to live except for the 6 months of heat [ april to sept].

If you get the following in your job contract then Dubai is the place to live.

1.Accomodation [ separate bed room with bath]for bachelors or a decent flat. Accomodation is real costly and will suck up 50% of your pay.
2.Medical insurance for self and also family if going with family
3.Education allowance for kids
4.License [ getting a license is pain in the Ass. you might fail several times before u get it.and would end up spending 4000 to 7000 Dhs on driving school classes.
5.Cost of indian Thali at KAMAT Restaurant is 19 Dhs.
6. Make sure the pay is around 7,000pm + acco if going single and 15,000pm + accom if with family
