I've heard Dubai is very expensive and, although I'm really keen to go, I don't want to living in poverty!
I've been told to expect to pay about 5k per month rent and 2k for a car, with the rest of bills food and living.
Thanks for your help in advance.
GA doesn't come here too much.

Motivate is a well known company, but the offer of AED 13,000 pm is low. To get away with 5k per month in rent you'd be sharing somewhere not too great, or living in cupboard in International City. You can get a small rental car for 2,000 pm.
