Well unless you sign the offer letter and return it, its not considered a valid contract. Say you did some 'research' and found that the cost of living in Abu Dhabi has gone high and ask if your pay can be hiked to commensurate it. I dont think there's anything wrong in asking.

Depending on who you are asking and how much of a pay hike you are looking for....

Lambs to the slaughter RIP!

Some interesting reading here. Who knows if it is true or not but everything has to be read when considering a move.

Google "The dark side of Dubai - Johann Hari - Commentators - The Independent"

Off back to "Blighty" soon but and I am figuring it will be no better there!

Good luck on trying to get a pay hike! Think their pay scales are pretty much set! Yes, the cost of living is higher in Abu Dhabi (from what I can see online). The big question is do I want to drive back and forth from Dubai everyday? When I get there will drive to Dubai and see how it is. Would really like to live in Dubai due to the lower housing costs, but will see!

A lot of people drive down from Dubai Jebel Ali everyday, not only do you get better deals for the money you spent, but even the facilities like swimming pools, gyms, restaurants and supermarkets are at close proximity. But putting up with the daily traffic that comes and leaves back everyday, is a tall order. You tend to get fed up of it unless four or five people working in the same organization share a car and take turn everyday in driving .
