My own personal opinion is that the cost of affordable accommodation will ultimatley be the undoing of the "Dubai dream". It makes no sense offering tax-free packages when cost of accommodation outstrips any form of formal taxation.

Ask for some people around here, I heard that you can find cheap acco, somewhere in Internet City...

I think Internet City in closer to DubaiLand, but I am not that sure. Any Advice?

i think you mean international city, as internet city is a commerical area and very expensive. international city is a few minutes from dubailand via emirates road and you can find cheaper flats there.

Yes exactly, it's International City not Internet City. I have collegues who's staying in the International City. Indeed it is way affordable, and cheap accomodation out there.

Too bad International City is a DUMP! If you are an engineering amnager you should get much more than that. I have friends getting more than that straight out of university. Also, with the inflation and rising rent costs, dont count on that being sufficient for long. I dont mean to discourage you. If you have a few years experience you can get really nice packages.

I agree on you, on the other hand, how about those people whom cannot afford? To be practical, you need to find affordable accomodation and to save money out of your compensation. Leaving in Dubai now a days is way expensive, so what's the point of working here without further savings? For experienced? On some way, maybe it can be considered, but bottom line is to save money for your future.

But overall I think it depends on individual thinking...

Thank you for all for comments and advise. The thing is that I'm a TCN and things do seens different frm here.Experience is the most top in my list as there is not much construction activity in Asia.I have more then 12 year of expce in the field.But still struggling to reach UAE. who do we blame?

Please send more comments/advise on those matters.Is Dubailand far from main area?Or it's a dead place?

My wage was only 11,000 AED per month up until recently - including housing and transport etc. I live on that absolutely fine but I'm single. Depends on your circumstances I guess.

Didn't want to post anything more than to say your pen name had me in stitches !

[just seen that episode of Friends......... hilarious !]

Nice 1 !
