Answer 1

My dear friend

It isnt a good salary. 1800 dhs, a man can survive here if he doesnt need any balance and can adjust too much.

An independent room rent minimum of Dhs 1250-1500.

Food (Lowest)- 6-10 dhs per meal.

Food medium- 25-45 per meal.

Clothes+other items however 300 dhs per month.

Better try something else.

Answer 2

Don't want to discourage you but a salary of 1800 dhs. is not at all satisfactory.  One can hardly save anything in this.

A single independent room may cost around 1500 dhs. or more per month ... depending on whether living in Sharjah or Dubai.  Dubai will be more expensive.  

On average, one time's meal in a average Indian/Pakistani restaurant may cost between 6 to 10 dhs.

Answer 3

I think that is too low to offer considering the high rents and expensive cost of living.

Even if they are paying for house and food. Still it is too low for other expenses. you will not save anything. as for accomodation, chances are you will have to contend yourself living with 3-4 people in one room.

Answer 4

You can count on the two answers above; ignore the offer or bargain for better pay
