Working Conditions and Salaries in Abu Dhabi


To find a job in Abu Dhabi or Dubai you require several years of specific experience. The most sought after Abu Dhabi jobs and giving the opportunity to a number of people are that of sales, engineers, doctors, business and financial managers, chefs and managers, etc.

The positions of waiters, nurses, travel agents, janitors, construction workers, etc. are mostly taken up by Filipinos, Pakistanis and Indians, who are extremely underpaid with the salaries ranging from $250-400 per month).

To have a decent life in Abu Dhabi, one should earn at least 4000 Euros per month (if the company you work for pays the rest of the costs). Typically here the contractual jobs in Abu dhabi which provide for annual salary, annual rent, health insurance for the whole family, car and schooling for their children. Abu Dhabi is obviously much more expensive than Dubai and thus the expats need to have much more money.

Rents are high and obviously depend on your area and the neighborhood. High standards apartment prices range from EUR 20,000-30,000 annually for an apartment for a three-room. Taxis are not expensive as in Abu Dhabi, but if you take every day involve a significant monthly expense. Keeping family with you can also be a good option to save costs.

The UAE laws have very specific and selective regarding living in Abu Dhabi and
jobs in Abu Dhabi . Obviously you do not talk about racism but for the companies, there are the Emiratis who enjoy a host of privileges impossible to imagine. One of these privileges is the work, as there are open positions exclusively for the UAE population and wages are much higher than those that would be offered to any other nationality. However, the European and nationalities from other countries also earn good salaries, but less as compared to the locales.
