Re: bricklaying dubai
Bricklayers are generally called masons in the middle east. Most are third world nationals. Typical basic salary around 1000 to 1200 Dhms per month but with overtime and food allowance this can double. Accomodation is provided in labour camps. Return ticket every two years. Hope this helps.

Done your research then?
Dhm is Dirham, as in the local currency in the UAE.

Not a mason (either the bricklaying or trouser rolling kind) but employ a few.

Re: bricklaying dubai
Even a good brickie will not earn more than 150 pounds a month here...and you'll be living in a cramped labour camp with mostly third world nationals.
