If your saving 40k dhs per month that's a really good salary. In general a decent spending family of five spends about 3-7k dhs on electricity bills and monthly expenses.

It costs us 3500dhs for a family of 5. And a comfortable living.

Its a good offer, I suggest you to take it.
expect most monthly expenses to be lower than this.

Yeah I agree. It's a great offer. But you can save more money depending on a few decisions such as a 3 bedroom apartment rather than a villa which will save you alot and still accommodate your requirements

Also consider your car/car expenses, weekend expenses (entertainment), etc.  They will likely eat up a considerable portion of your 40k projected savings.

thats true , even with the added transportation expenses, and other leisure costs.  he will still have a considerable amount in his monthly savings. and just is savings in general is more than what he is currently earning.

Goog salary go ahead and good luck

you should be find however, your calculation for school is probably low if you want UK school

Once you pass probation you should buy a home in Al Reef or similar rather than renting.

Did you took up the offer?  We are in the same boat, would like to know if you and your family can cope with living cost and most importantly keeping money for savings

Living costs are extremely high here.  For a family you are looking at approx. 20000 rent per month.  School costs approx. 70k per year per child in a good school.

I have lived here 18 years and this formula has worked for us.

Hi ERDOC,

Did you end up taking the position?

I'm a locum GP in the UK, just came across this website. Wondering what the market is like for GP's from the UK to work in UAE and what type of packages are on offer. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
