This depends on what you are doing and where you are staying. Use this search function on this forum, this will give you a guide on how much you need. Best thing to do then is come back with some specific questions around your package.

There are many factors which you have to look at when deciding if you have enough money:

type of job
position of job
location of job
location of housing
family
children
car
medical
do you want to save money?
Where are you coming from?

Well I've just been offered a package worth well over AED 30,000 per month.
I'm trying to negotiate an even better package if possible.

Simply put my allowance for accomidation alone is well above the salary you have quoted.

I would look very hard to see if there's a better deal out there for you.

What you've been offered is the equivalent of a low wage in the UK.

Take a long hard look at the rents you will have to pay to live in a part of Dubai you would be happy with before accepting.
