if u send your kids to international school in Dubai, it cost u AED 70 to 100k a year, transport 10k per month. One room apt aed 50 to 100k a year dpends....I think aed 15k aed with kids to int school is not enough.

There are people who live on less in the UAE; it is definitely doable. The key will be minimizing your rental expenses (i.e. finding the right area to live). You have to consider that you will probably not be able to save much on that salary, at least for the first year or two. Also, you will probably need to pay your rent on a quarterly basis.

I think it should be enough if you stick to a budget every month. The expensive thing is rent.
