Where is the du HQ in Dubai, and what are the rents like in that area?

Question

I have been offered a job by du. Where is there HQ exactly, is it a good area, and what are the rents like there (2 or 3 bedroom appartment in a good, safe building).

Is 32K/month a good salary in Dubai, even if it includes housing?

How much does a good quality school cost for grade 1,2, and 3?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Its in Media City. Its a nice area. If you want an apartment in an immediate vicinity (Dubai Marina, Jum Beach Residence, Jum Lakes Towers) the rent for a 2 bdrm would be 150k/year and 3 bdrm 190k/yr. Tuition in a good European or American school would be 50k/yr per child.

32k/mo depends where you are coming from and what lifestyle you will have. But I don't think its enough for a family of 5.
