* Just don't multiply the AED salary by 16 and convert the same in to rupee earnings. But u also wont get salary what we are getting here, If i am getting 25,000 here I will definaltely get 50,000+ in UAE.
* If you a married person, consider the cost of family accommodation in U.A.E and more importantly in Dubai . The minimum requirement of a one BHK
(bedroom, hall, kitchen) flat would cost you a minimum of AED 4,000/- per month (not per annum, guys) any where in downtown Dubai . Add a minimum of
10-15% annual increments in rent. Don't expect the salaries to rise by even half that %.
Mosty of the companies in Dubai will provide you accomodation with job
* If you are smart enough to realize that you can look for apartments outside Dubai(Sharjah, Ajman, RAK) to save AED 1,000 - 1,500 per month in
rent , please allow yourself three to fours hours for commutation every day(given the present traffic situation, which can only degrade with influx
of millions of immigrants every year).Add that to a normal 10 hours day would mean you would end up spending around 14-15 hours a day on
job......and you thought family life would be so much fun in Dubai.
Agreed, if your company dont provide residence
* Be prepared to shell out AED 100/- for a routine check up at doctors in UAE. If you are lucky you will not fall ill, but god forbid if you do,
then you will have a big hole in your pocket.
10 years back Medical was free, its really pain now, if your company dont provide you cover
* If you aren't used to summers of north India and hail from places like Shimla, then you are in for a treat of your lifetime. Temperatures can
run up to 50 degrees on a normal sunny afternoon and such days are pretty regular. And did I mention the humidity levels of 95% ........I am sure I did.
Everything is airconditioned in UAE, even the whole markets
* If you don't have children you are lucky......bcos if you a 2-3 children going to school...... add at least AED 12,000 (per annum per
child) to the cost of living in U.A.E
pakistani schools in UAE are cheap
* You that petrol here is cheaper and so would be the taxies...... .try taking a cab from airport to your hotel ........the meter would touch AED
75-100/- before you will be able to make yourself comfortable in the Camry.
Yes the taxi is expensive but keep in mind that many Pakistanis are running it and earning alot of Dhs from Taxi 
* You might have the fanciest of all cars available here, but when it comes to parking the same, you might regret buying one. Imagine roaming
around the streets of Dubai for 1 hour just to find a parking space..... .....alas... ..even that's not free........ .don't forget to display your
parking ticket .......else a fine awaits you.
The person who send this e-mail must visit Tariq Road and Saddar in KHI to see parking condition
And even in Blue Area near Askaroi Bank the parking conditions are pathetic
* Last but not the least of all woes is a triple call rate to your loved ones in Pakistan . INR 30 per minute from U.A.E to Pakistan
A year back Calling from Pakistan to UAE was expensive, due to more competition in Pakistani telecom we are enjoying the rates
Don't you dare think you can use
skype in Dubai....... ..guys its banned and its illegal..... ...even sites like Orkut are banned here.......so much so for the communication.
You need some education on IT and computers, there are many chatting software awailable other than Skype, if any software is not working in Pakistan , I wont say that Pakistan is not goood
[highlight]· So if you are fascinated by the growing number of glam malls in Dubai .........the ever-changing skyline ............ all the hype and glory
that surrounds this place ...........the bollywood stars flocking to Dubai every Thursday night .........the cute cars ........the chic cafés
........BURJ DUBAI....... .BURJ AL ARAB ......Dubai Marina; think twice buddies !!!!!! (Remember what is yours is what you take home after a
lifetime in Dubai ).
No matter how long you stay here you will still be an expatriate ......no UAE passport .........no home. [/highlight]
I also lived in Dubai and my family members are still there, I must mentioned the things you cant get in Pakistan
