What are housing costs like in the UAE?
Housing is typically included with the jobs, so paying rent is not normally a concern for teachers. Utilities are very affordable on teachers salaries. One thing to be aware of is that kitchens in unfurnished units may not be outfitted with appliances, but used appliances are readily available because the large expatriate community is always in flux. Furniture is very inexpensive, with furniture imported from Asia readily available. IKEA is in the UAE, too.
