Any idea on (realistic) current costs in Garhoud and Mirdiff for a 2-bedroom place? Living here would save on the commute.

thanks!

IN exactly 36 hours from your OP, you manage to have another child...Jackpop indeed...

Is a monthly salary of AED 22k enough to survive on for a family (one child of school age)? The salary does not include rent.

We're looking for a change of scene, and are not too bothered about putting money away. But could we make ends meet on this salary, assuming my wife doesn't work? We'd need a 2-bed apartment.

Thanks!


He said one child of school age...Nowhere did he say 2 children or a family of four...
Smartasses...

I agree. most British men are so so.

Luckily I'm not purely British, and way above average anyway :D
