Dear kish8787 Yes you will have to find your own accomodation, but honestly its a very low salary and it will be really difficult to live a good life with that salary especially in Abudhabi.Even if you get a bedspace for AED 800( which is illegal and the govt is cracking down on such stays at the moment ) you will need AED 250 for mobile recharges,AED 1000 for food expenses, AED 500 for transportation, there will be barely anything you can send back home.
