What's the break ups? Is it ALL inclusive? Any allowance? What nationality are you?

In general, if it's ALL inclusive, less than 10K a month is tough.

Would be a struggle, 1 bedroom apartment out near MoE will cost you 70 - 80k, not much left for anything else.

Based on what I know of Dubai, I wouldn't do it.

You will probably have to commute quite a distance just to get to work because it would be difficult to afford a place in that area on your salary. Once you factor in a vehicle (which I think is necessary), there isn't much leftover at all.

it would be a stretch-- you might consider a share opportunity if you can get one
