How much do occupational therapists earn in abu dhabi. how much do you spend on rent and do you have to share?

Question

is it easy to save while living there for say 1 year?

Answer 1

Your salary will depend on your experience, the place you work and your nationality. The avarage basic salary of an occupational therapists in the UAE is around AED 5.000. You have to negotiate a salary package incl. housing and transportation to be able to save some money. If hired by a hospital housing mostly is provided. If not, you have to calculate AED 2.000 - 3.000 for a room in a shared apartment.

Please be aware that most contracts are for 2 years, because the employer has to bear all visa related costs and helth care.

Take care and good luck!
