Hello everyone,

As every year, we invite you to share your experience regarding the cost of living in the United Arab Emirates, and if possible, in the specific region or city where you live. This will help members who are planning to relocate in the United Arab Emirates.

Here are some points to guide you; the idea is to provide average prices for each category:

When it comes to housing, what is the cost of renting or buying an apartment or house in the United Arab Emirates?

How much do you pay for public transports such as buses, subways, trains, trams, or taxis?

Could you share the average monthly cost of your grocery shopping?

What is the cost of health insurance? How much does a medical consultation cost in the United Arab Emirates?

What are the tuition fees for children?

What are the average monthly costs for electricity, gas, water, internet, and phone plans?

For leisure activities, how much does it cost monthly?

If there are other expenses you find relevant, please feel free to share them!

Thank you for your contribution.
