Dubai is ridicously expensive for the place it is.
This because there are no market rules and no competition
Company tends to underline their benefit ( housing, school etc) as big assets but the reality is the nobody wants to live here and if possible I would say 95% of the pilot population would opt for a different base.
Ergo this huge benefit are actually the minimum to keep people here and the real value is far lower then what they advertise...but still this is a good way of pumping artificially up the real estate market...and your salary.
Renting a decent house here costs more then in central Paris....so feel like suggesting that ,unless you will get payd a huge lot of money and have all other expenses covered ..just stay away!!
