My company has offered £1400 for housing and £350 for transport.

Hope this helps.

1400 quid = 10,000 dhs = 120,000 Dirhams a year! they saw you coming mate! that will get you a nice little one bed somewhere if your lucky. You will have to use your education allowance to supplement it. 90,000 dhs for education is way off mark, schools are about 30,000 ish depending on age.
