Hi All.

Firstly Hi from me and the Wife, we are relocating in 4 weeks time to Abu Dhabi.

We are looking at a budget of 1200-1400AED monthly for a two bedroomed apartment in Abu Dhabi, not sure if we will live in the city or a bit farther out.

Can anyone suggest if this will budget will get us a decent apartment or should we be expecting to pay more.

also we will probably look at joining a club as we want sports facilities and a pool etc, can anyone recommend a place, Meridian, Sheritan, Beach Rotana??

Thanks

for clubs - the best one is beach rotana but the most cost efficient one is Abu dhabi health and fitness club for the required facilities listed.

For 1200, you'd get half a room if you're lucky.

The going market rate for a bedroom is around 3000-5000 pm

^^ Concur.

You'll probably have to share a room with another couple and on top of that, share a single bed with your wife Very Happy

. Oh well, the more the merrier I guess.
