                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      30000 is a good salary, you'd easily life off that as everything here is cheap cheap, EXCEPT for accommodation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three things wrong with accommodation, &lt;br /&gt;
firstly many places charge 1 year in advance, &lt;br /&gt;
secondly 90000 will probably get you a 1 bedroom apartment,&lt;br /&gt;
thirdly availability is very very very limited&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'd probably trade in some basic salary and ask for a higher accommodation allowance.  Somewhere around 150,000 plus also factor in annual rent increase of 7%, and if you change your lease, you could find that rent might go up by around 20%pa in abu dhabi due to the shortage in accommodation.</description>
