So $187 per month is your salary? If so thats about 700 Dhs -- you should be able to get more but the cost of living here is far higher than Pakistan. Nevertheless you should be able to (I am not sure but this is my thinking based on what I know) make more but trust me being away from family, loved ones, children if you have any is not easy -- thats the main hang up for people living and working here from countries like pakistan, india as its unaffordable to bring them here and make a living.

I would suggest you contact companies directly - go to sites like UAE business directory and send emails to all companies with your resume - its a long shot but there is a good turnover of staff in Dubai and you might get lucky. At the same time contact some recruitment agenices that specialise in your fields that are based in Dubai - again you can find these on the internet.

Good Luck.
