Here's how much I spend in a typical week in Dubai, UAE as an Entrepreneur and KZfaqr.
*When people hear I live in Dubai, their first reaction is always something like “omg, but isn’t Dubai so expensive, how can you afford it??”*
But what might surprise you is that that isn’t actually true…kind of.
To show you that, I have broken down every single expense I have spent money on in a very typical week here in Dubai to give you a very realistic idea of what it actually costs to live a very comfortable, but by no means a super luxurious lifestyle here in Dubai, UAE.
And I’m pretty sure you will be surprised by the results.

You spend a lot. I live in a 1BHK, not downtown but in a decent gated community (Mirdif) as a single person. My average monthly expenses are around AED 6K - 6.5K, which averages to approx. $450 per week (everything included). The thing about Dubai is if you're technically skilled and have good presentation, you can negotiate a good salary. And as you said, you might get a similar salary in the West (usually less), but you pay 40% in taxes whereas it is tax-free here. Dubai is expensive if you choose to live expensive. I work for a British Organization and my colleagues in the UK (on a similar level) cannot even dream of earning and saving what I do in Dubai.

Rent prices to me is hard to found out. Where do you found your apartment btw? I know a guy that changed a lot of apts from airbnb because they all was malfunctioning in one or other way, which kinda influenced on his overall impression about Dubai. On the other side - if you rent yearly, you need *a lot* of cash upfront. And there's a decent(close to 100%) chance that you will not live in Dubai full year, because it's just too hot(non-walkable even in September when I visited). So it's not cheaper in the end. Could you also cover topic about where to go for a summer from there? And how to properly do that(e.g. when I return with family, is it hard to find monthly apartment or it would be simpler and more proper to rent yearly despite I wouldn't live there for a full year)

Hey! Anything on wooden houses in the west vs stone/marble houses in ME?

@wajidjawaid6672 5 ай бұрын

What do you think about using serviced apartments or aparthotels in Dubai or Sharjah? Especially during the transition period of 3-4 months when you are settling into UAE and finding things out.

Great idea this is basically what I did

I guess it depends on where you live. As a couple we only spend a third of your living costs per person and that includes health insurance and running a Touareg. Plus we live in a 3 bed townhouse. But we are here to make money and not spend it.

what would you say is the minimum & ideal salary someone should be earning to live comfortably in Dubai and also save money (i.e similar to your lifestyle) ?

@tuomaskiv 7 ай бұрын

Perhaps $4-5k a month (2k a month rent, 1-2k other stuff, 1k savings)

Looking at that cost of living, I have to agree that Thailand, Malaysia and Bali seem like better value for money. Dubai seems suitable for those with a successful remote-first business or those who have enough money saved up to live off of capital gains. For those earning a salary or those just starting out with a company, Dubai just won't be worth it.
