What would you say your average monthly cost of living is in Abu Dhabi or Dubai, excluding housing for a family of two.

I know it varies based on lifestyle, just looking for ballpark figures.

Thanks!

It depends on what you are purchasing. Housing rental is expensive and alcohol is expensive; brand names and imports can be expensive, compared to the prices at home (where they may not be imports). The general cost of clothing, food, etc., is not particularly expensive. Specially we are in area of technology there is Mobile Application Named ( [link moderated] ) Make you save your money and effort聽 which collects most of the offers announced in UAE .

Excluding the cost of housing and utilities, what would you say you spend per month approximately?

Do you think 14000-18000 AED/Monthly is decent to live off of and still save some for a family of three(couple and infant)? Housing and medical insurance are already taken care of and we don't drink, go to clubs, etc. We'll either be in Abu Dhabi or Dubai.
