REAL Monthly Breakdown of COST of Living in Dubai | Rent, Bills, Groceries and more...

Poor people in Dubai screw when they made $2,500

I pay 36k a year in Cali . Should leave to Dubai lol 😆

I have a question I have heard things on the internet about the subsidy for UAE citizens, how much it is and who it includes

I like Dubai from Canada

very informative any advise on living near Jumeirah Lake Towers or surrounding areas and prices for a studio?

Salaam,
Can you/anyone reading this please share the FB/WhatsApp groups?

Moving to UAE in 2 weeks inshaAllah

May Allah grant you happiness, however the budget you mentioned can be greatly reduced at least by 50%, 28k a month is insanely high unless you are living a lavish life style , considering salaries, even if you are lets say experienced engineer with like 15 years experience, you will averag max 17k a month plus some benefits

Could you talk a lil bit about how the medical insurance works there? Thanks! great video!

Being poor is more expensive than being rich

iv heard theres crazy laws,i cannot sniff cocaine even....wtf i doing there then

what about medical bills/medical insurance?

So, Cheaper than Australia

Does anyone in medical know how much the salary is for a dialysis technician? Im looking to leave america i have 1 child thats in kindergarten and they are already putting the gay studies in his school
Im begging anyon3 that can help me with information because i need help saving my sons future! Thank you/ shokran ♡

Have you considered Riyadh or Jeddah?

I pay 500 AED for a SIM card internet Every month food are expansive also everything expansive even luxury international brands price are more then euro I buy one t shirt in lvl I paid 1450 when in Germany lv was 1250

Why would anyone move to Dubai?

Salam alikum brother sorry telling me living in Dubai is hard or what like I can't move there

What about medical insurance, clothing, car services?

It sounds a lot cheaper than what it is here in Canada. I am seriously thinking of moving there. However, I have noticed there are over 1200 applicants on every single job that I have come across on LinkedIn (obviously not very encouraging). I'd greatly appreciate if anyone could share information on recruitment agencies especially for people coming from overseas. Thank you.

Why the fuck do I need information on kids schools? Since when the goddamn kids are essential?

You are spot on with the costs and from what you have said on mobile and phone/internet, I know who you went with :-) - you missed off the fact that while your Du internet is 408Dh, you will be on at least 500Mb depending on the area, or 850mb down 200mb up. The reason is the UAE's infrastructure is new and the place is filled with fibreoptic cables rather than the UK's copper and POTS. Reliability is solid and if you want installation, you wait a day. Try that in the UK for 100 GBP!

7g of data and 500mins bro how do you survive with that

Thanks for the info, I'm aiming to do a job there, any clue about finding jobs in sales and marketing?

I have been living the UAE with family (parents and siblings) since 2012. 
Lived in the UK for my Master for 1.5 year and in Pakistan for 2.5 years in between. 
In this overall living period, I have been living in Dubai Sports City with my own studio apartment with mother only.
The cost has always been like below
Rent and bills = 5000
Grocery = 1500 - 2000
Fuel, Car maintenance, Mobile = 1000
Maid = 500 AED for whole month in Sharjah
School fee no idea
This is the average cost of living here.

Great video very informative but a couple of questions your living costs what area are you in and what school are you recommending ?

Brother ; what is yr source of income and how much you earn monthly ?

Nice content, very profesional!

Very very expensive.

I wish to find a similar job in uae, but really not getting anywhere with it. I work as a finance director in birmingham for healthcare group, but don't really see such finance director level jobs in uae!
Anyone has an idea, where to search for such jobs in uae?

What increase of the uk gross family income we should ask in order to be good enough to move to dubai?

After watching this video, I can't complain about America anymore.

Here is me chillin at 5000 AED a month with a retail shift job and living with 8 roommates in a bed space. We talking of same dubai?, must be nice :)

I'm struggling to find where or who to contact for employment.

For the most part, i agree with the numbers. Maid cost seems fairly high; you can get a cleaner once a week for a thorough clean which will set you back around 500 to 800 dhs. 3,000 to 4,500 is more in line with a full-time maid/nanny but personally i've never liked that option for several reasons.
- School costs are correct
- Internet cost is for the basic package which is MORE than enough considering it's 10x faster than what most homes can ever dream of getting in the UK.
- Groceries average out to about the same as the UK. It's hard to calculate this one; tomatoes can be cheaper, carrots more expensive etc etc; You'll find some items cheaper than UK and other items more expensive. Meat is roughly the same cost as UK but for some butchers it's at least 10% cheaper than UK. Where things get expensive is branded cereals and 'some' other imported branded products
- Other miscellaneous costs also worth considering especially for cars; maintenance, SALIK toll gates, parking tickets etc
- deposits are one time costs but they also add up. Not uncommon for some homes to have deposit for landlord, deposit for electricity, deposit for cooling supplier etc.
- Eating out i think is a VERY big one you missed out. You might have allocated some of it under entertainment or other costs but this one alone can bankrupt you. In the UK for most towns your only options are Indian/Donner/McDonalds/Subways/Chicken or Fish and Chips (London is an exception of course). In Dubai you are in Food nirvana (Latino/brazilian/Syrian/Lebanese/Moroccan/African/ etc etc) you are extremely spoilt for choice and the quality of food is on a different level. I think easily have of my budget when i was living there was waited on takeaways and eating out.

Utter nonsense

Is Cur8 is authorized by Dubai authorities or still only with UK

Indians living in Dubai (a family of 4) complete all their expenses within AED 10,000

The expenses literally depend on the city/area you live in. Here in abudhabi there is a lot of community villas/ townhouses which has a lot reasonable and affordable prices. Same with the apartments as well. But entertainment expenses is a serious topic🥲 very difficult to control, everywhere there's restaurant no barrier of haram foods😅 and everywhere it's safe doesn't matter you walk on the streets alone at 2/3am

Feel like food should cost more.

quality of schools so low and expensive rents so high and tough law.3yrs Jail for unpaid rents cases.very hot country and bill w+e very expensive welcome to 2nd India

Can your kids identify as pansexual in school, and wearing an anthena like hat during classes? XD

Looks like u put all the expenses for luxury class

In the Netherlands (in times of the peak inflation) i spend 3600 AED/ 900 Euro monthly on groceries for a family of 1.

Thank you for the video, really informative. Couple of questions: 1) working culture, how common is remote working for example for professionals 2) any advice on housing areas that are a close ish match to housing situation back in UK. Would you recommend more the outskirts or inner city to enjoy the best of lifestyle for example

JazakAllah, Haider

Please make more videos about Dubai. Thank you

wow so expensive brother ! thanks for the heads up. Doesn't seem worth it now TBH.

Dubai is for people making over £150,000

Would love to see a vid for the costs of a single/couple dynamic. Judging from the comments seems fair to say the brothers calculations could be up for debate
