I think it might be a bit of a struggle to survive on that salary, but it really does depend on your lifestyle.
Accommodation is really expensive in the UAE. You should expect to pay around AED 8,000 for a room in a shared aparment in Abu Dhabi.
The transport allowance will be OK if you plan on using public transport (which is a bit minimal in Abu Dhabi) but if you hire a car like most expats do you should expect to pay around AED 2,500 per month.
For more info check out the Cost of Living in Abu Dhabi page.
Best of luck

The prices on expat arrivals are simply an estimate. We tend to give expats an idea of the cost of accommodation in a good expat area. Accommodation in expat areas does tend to be more expensive, and as you say there are lots of cheaper options available.
I am happy to review our page and take note of your comments though.
