Cool How much will £35K p/a in Dubai go?

I have 2 interviews with 2 different companies lined for a position in Dubai. One is offering a Salary of £35k p/a and im waiting for what other benefits can be thrown in.

I want to know how much will £35k go in Dubai? Will I struggle for accomodation, bills etc? Is it actually a good Salary?

I know £35k in the UK will get you a decent flat on rent, food, bills - though you wont save much.

I have visited UAE for the past 5 years an noticed each year prices are spiralling out of control - especially in the housing market. Food is cheap as are public transport, phone, internet....

Would be interested to hear your thoughts from anyone who is on a similar salary - and what they think of it.

Cheers...
