Cost of living in Dubai?

Question

What is the cost of living for a family of two in Dubai, after housing has been paid for? I would like to budget for food, cell phone, utilities, transportation around the city, some entertainment spending, and savings. Thanks

Answer 1

If you are getting the Housing for family, it will be great, actually it will eat the major part of your salary here,

For you two...

Cell Phone... Food... Transportation all depends you only...

Food, you can spend starting from AED500 -any amount (as per your expenditure kind), Gas Price in Dubai for 50lbs = AED76

Transportation will be depends your housing and work location, Taxi Charges starting from AED4, Public Transport System is there starting from AED1, Even Abra (Ferry Service) is there, at AED1. Metro Train Service is Coming, If you own a car, it will be best but you should take the toll Card (SALIK), and it is a horrible experience of traffic in the City, really.

Cellphone... for new connection with etisalat (prepaid) AED 165, and recharge vouchers starting from AEd 25.... AED 500 available with 10% extra amt.

For Groceries & Vegetables... other things... it will be affordable and normal rates only...

Entertainment... Cinemas Starting AED30... so on..

What else...

Thx
