Hi NewChallengeMale,

Employment packages for expats in Abu Dhabi vary from company to company. They also depend on your level of skills and seniority.

Some of the usual things that employer's use to make a job offer look attractive: Some of the benefits that are commonly used to lure expats abroad include : accommodation allowanes, generous amounts of annual leave, an air ticket home each year, personal life and accident insurance and health insurance.

I suggest you take a look at the Cost of Living in Abu Dhabi to draw up a budget and work out what your priorities are. Then approach your employer and negotiate for the extra allowances.

For some more tips read our Employment Contract Negotiation.

Hope this all helps. Good luck in Abu Dhabi.
