I'm in the pool for a 9 month contract in Dubai. Salary is £500 a day (less 30% tax eventually) but food and accommodation comes out of that. I am assuming the client (a pillar of Dubai society, can't say any more in case I get beheaded or whatever) will have access to subsidised accommodation as otherwise it seems ridiculously hard to organise (due to start in a few weeks) and expensive to boot. What sort of accommodation cost would be doable on that salary and what would I be looking at for subsistence? I'm thinking travel will be by train as the client's offices are on the train line so no need for a car or taxis.
I appreciate this is a how long is a piece of string question, but would be grateful for anyone's advice as to whether this is just not worth thinking about, or if it is. There are a lot more other complications, but I'll leave it (fairly) simple for now!
