Hi, I am moving to Dubai to work just off Umm Hurair Road. I am goin to be living by myself and was wondering if anybody could answer some of the following question with an approximation. I have looked at the other threads but all seem to talk about familys. I will be living in a studio flat and want to live as cheap as possible to save up money and send money back home as I own a house there too.

Dewa (Water & Electric) cost per month? £
2MB Broadband cost per month? £
Home Phone rental cost per month? £
TV with Showtime for sports cost per month? £
Medium size (Golf?) car cost total? £
Insurance for medium size car cost? £ %
Groceries cost per month? £
Anything I may have missed off except night out please add.

Thankyou

May I politely suggest searching previous threads, as this particular question comes up a couple of times a week. As a result, you will find that most posters simply wont answer it. Any questions you have that you cant find answers for already posted, by all means post away...

Hi, ive been looking for 2 days and all I can find is people who are there with familys or sharing with friends etc. Not one person I have seen just write down these costs for what they are. Everybody goes of on a tangent

No idea where you've been 'searching' for two days, but there are several threads around . Some I found for you just quickly:

Bonny Boy you spend 7000 dhs a month on groceries and you are on you own? that is way over. As is 250 quid a month on internet?

Madam Medusa

think it's 1,000 dhs a month on groceries and 250 dhs, not pounds...

MM, xx

Thanks for any info given guys. Think I have a better understanding now. Anybody know though if I bought a car for say £5000 with a loan from a bank over 60 month how much it would cost a month? I think about £100?

we borrowed 9.5k sterling over 4 years and are paying approx 240 sterling a month - so yeah you are about right give or take 15/20 quid a month....
