Hi
I have been here for 6 years, Dubai, so I think I have a good idea about the UAE. I love it here, I would stay forever - if possible!
But you need to have a minimum of 8000 Dhs a month + housing. Housing is very expensive, and if U wanna live like at home... U need the company to pay. Housing is from 3000 Dhs a month for a studio flat, or for a room in a villa - sharing with other expats.

Best regards
