Is 2900 dhs salary good enough for living in Abu Dhabi?

Hi Elizabeth-

Accommodation will certainly be your largest cost in Abu Dhabi, so if they are providing this, then you won't have to worry about the most sizeable expense. That said, you should enquire about whether the free one bedroom includes utility costs (electricity, water, etc). Also, even though they provide transport to the school ( I assume you're considering a teaching job), what about getting around otherwise. Abu Dhabi's public transport system is far from comprehensive, and most expats find they need a car in the emirate, which can cost 2500 AED a month for a mid-range vehicle. Obviously your salary would not be enought to cover this cost, so you'd have to take the buses (only 1 dirham), or you would need to ask your employer for a car allowance. 

Also, make sure your employer is going to offer you private health insurance in Abu Dhabi, this is required by law. 

Finally, overall,  this is not a very lucrative salary at all. You likely won't be able to save too much. That said, I'm not sure of your current sitaution, so perhaps it's better than what you're currently earning.
