Hi Hassancheaib, a salary of 8500 AED for Abu Dhabi is not very lucrative. The cost of living in the emirate is pretty steep so yuor ability to save much might be limited, That said, the fact that your accommodation is taken care of might help somewhat, although transport is another factor you would need to consider. Public transport in Abu Dhabi leaves much to be desired and you may have to consider purchasing a vehicle to get around Abu Dhabi. Check out our Cost of Living in Abu Dhabi page for a break down of what you can expect to pay in the emirate.

Hi Catherine!! Thanks for your assistance, i think that I am going to refuse the offer unless they will adjust my basic salary. Do you have an idea about vehicle prices for ex: Toyata corolla or Nissan Sunny??? Regards, Hassan
