Answer 1

Dear

If you offered a Good Salary + Accomodation for family, it is a nice place to work. But comparing to Singapore, you can't enjoy that much. But cost of living, as per one of my friend who were in Singapore and now in Abu Dhabi, better is UAE. Here only one thing is costliest and is Accomodation.

Just have a look to this link for the rates of flats here in Dubai.

This link will update daily (of Gulf News)

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..

Dubai is a multicultured, multinational community (hope, emiratis-natives are lesser than expats here), but of course Dubai is a Islamic country and there will be certion rules and restrictions, even though you can enjoy the freedom of life here.

What else... Welcome to Dubai / UAE

Thx
