Cost of living in Dubai?

Cost of living in dubai; can anyone (w/small family) getting US7k/- survive with a decent lifestyle ?

  • I'm worried about two major problems; dubai has become notorious for it; i'm wondering if there is an easy way out.. 1- Accomodation -- can anyone find accomodation within AED40k-50k/annum within dubai 2- If not; what's the cost benefit ratio of living close to the centre while avoiding the rush/traffic while living in ajman/sharjah and coming to dubai .. Please guide me friends

    Dear Friend This question has been asked many times on answers.yahoo therefore i suggest you to kindly go thru all the answers. But for ur reference: - 1.The cost of rent for a 1 bedroom apartment will be somewhere around ADE 70,000(minimum) p.a. and you will need to pay it completely in advance (if u get 2 instalments u r lucky) for a reasonable location. If you live in Sharjah u can get 1 Bhk in ADE 40-50k easily but travelling from Sharjah to Dubai will be somewhere about 1-1/2 hrs. Ajman is even further. I wont suggest you to put up in Sharjah/Ajman cos ur salary is sufficient enough and you can definitely save even if u put put in Dubai. 2.House hold expenses (including travelling )vary depending upon ur habits but for 3 people (assuming)moderate spending will cost ADE 36,000 p.a. 3.school fee will be again dependent on which kind of school u want to send ur kid (also nationality matters eg u want to send ur kid to Indian/Filipino/other school) ADE4,800 to ADE 18,000 pa

You got it correctly. Accommodation and Traffic in the roads are two main issues in Dubai. 1. 50K is minimum to find a single bed apartment in Dubai. But you can find the same in Sharjah with 35K- 40K. Double bed apartment will be above 70K. 2. You need to spend around 2 hours to drive from Sharjah to Dubai in peak hours. So total 4 hours in a day you will be in the road.
