I am moving out to Dubai on the 1st Jan, and will be working as a cost consultant specialising in dispute resolution. I am 24yrs old and single with no real commitments back home.

I have a few questions that I would be grateful if any of you could help me with!

1) What should I be expecting to pay out per month on groceries?

2) The important one - average cost of a night out?

3) I am probably going to flat share, however being that I will be working on the other side of the creek in Deira, what kind of commuting time should I expect if I decide to live in JBR or the Marina, or should I look at living in Deira? are the apartments of a similar standard, i.e Gym, pool etc

Thats all for now, although I am sure I will think of some other things to add to the list!!

I look forward to catchin up with all of you out there - and having a few good nights out!

Thanks

Chris

The question of how much will i pay for groceries is very vague. prolly the same as back home. On my last visit groceries were the same price as here in the states. if that helps.

and how much will you spend for a night out is vague too. really depends on what your idea of a night out is. answer that and i will answer you.
