Shree Shukla shared a video on Instagram in which she advised Indians to reconsider relocating to Dubai if their employer is offering a salary below AED 5,000 to AED 6,000 per month. Dubai is often associated with high salaries, luxury and a glamorous lifestyle, but an Indian woman living in the city has warned people against moving there without carefully assessing their monthly income and expenses.
You need to live in Dubai, you need to work in Dubai, and you need to spend money in Dubai in dirham. “Life in Dubai may look glamorous on social media, but in reality, it can be just as expensive. The video prompted several reactions from users, many of whom agreed that expenses should be carefully considered before relocating. One user wrote, “Dubai is definitely expensive. A third commented, “Proper planning is so important.

Some people are thinking that 3,000 dirham salary means 70 to 80,000, it’s more than enough. If your company is not offering at least AED 5,000–6,000 per month, saving money after paying for rent, food, transport and daily expenses can be quite difficult,” she wrote.
Because dubai is very expensive, yes,. Because it will not work, so, do not convert the money from dirham to Indian rupees. Because I have seen people, those who are earning 2,000–3,000 per month, they don’t have anything by the end of the month.
Please keep these things in the mind,” she said. In the caption accompanying the video, Shukla said life in Dubai could be significantly more expensive than it appears on social media. Another said, “This is actually useful advice. Another user added, “Always calculate before moving abroad.”
Carefully check the offer letter, accommodation, transport and all other benefits included in the package. Before moving to Dubai, do not look at the salary alone; consider the complete compensation package. Watch the clip here:
She further advised people considering offers of AED 3,000 to AED 4,000 to calculate their likely expenses before making the move.

Because it is Dubai, do not make the decision simply.
