Answer 1

1 B/R hall as of 5th June 2008 is Dhs. 75,000/annum. This means you have to shed at least Dhs. 6,250/month.

For vegetarians (non-cooking) around Dhs. 800/month.

Electricity and Water is included in the rent (normally) otherwise, set aside Dhs. 400 to 500/month.

Travelling within the city is about Dhs. 300 to 400/month

Working hours is normally from 8am to 3pm.

Increment is descritionary and sometimes performance based. Otherwise it is around 10 to 15% per contract completion.

Anything more you want to know - le me know.
