Is Dhs5100 With Free Accommodation And Transport Fair Enough For Abu Dhabi?

Question

I know this question has been asked often. I have an offer in Abu Dhabi for 5100 with free single room accommodation and transportation to and fro work. I want to know if I can live a fairly comfortable life and save up to 1000 dollars per month on this salary.

I work in Riyadh presently where I earn 4500 riyals and I manage to save a 1000 dollars monthly.

Will moving to Abu Dhabi negatively affect my savings?

Answer 1

I think it is perfect if it is with free accommodation and transportation from and to work.

I do think you will be able to save, because for instance shopping for groceries in Riyadh and Abu Dhabi is quite similar.

It also depends on your lifestyle. Most of the things you will be able to enjoy for free, like going to parks, cornche and malls.

  

I'm not really sure about the public bus system in AD, but I'm guessing it will be similar to Dubai's for 2 DHS TO 5 DHS a ride depending on the destination.

Now, just compare the two jobs requirements, and workings hours. :)
