Here's how much I spend in a typical week in Dubai, UAE as an Entrepreneur and RUclipsr.
*When people hear I live in Dubai, their first reaction is always something like “omg, but isn’t Dubai so expensive, how can you afford it??”*
But what might surprise you is that that isn’t actually true…kind of.
To show you that, I have broken down every single expense I have spent money on in a very typical week here in Dubai to give you a very realistic idea of what it actually costs to live a very comfortable, but by no means a super luxurious lifestyle here in Dubai, UAE.
And I’m pretty sure you will be surprised by the results.

You spend a lot. I live in a 1BHK, not downtown but in a decent gated community (Mirdif) as a single person. My average monthly expenses are around AED 6K - 6.5K, which averages to approx. $450 per week (everything included). The thing about Dubai is if you're technically skilled and have good presentation, you can negotiate a good salary. And as you said, you might get a similar salary in the West (usually less), but you pay 40% in taxes whereas it is tax-free here.
Dubai is expensive if you choose to live expensive. I work for a British Organization and my colleagues in the UK (on a similar level) cannot even dream of earning and saving what I do in Dubai.
yes all correct
Thanks for your honest info
Great and very informative video, thank you for your effort Tuomas. :) I like your energy.
New subscriber here. Thanks for the great videos. I'm considering moving out there from the UK now my tax bills here have started to get crazy!!
I recommend!
I'm currently in a process to move to Dubai and that content is really helpful. So thank you for that ;)
Glad it was helpful!
Rent prices to me is hard to found out. Where do you found your apartment btw? I know a guy that changed a lot of apts from airbnb because they all was malfunctioning in one or other way, which kinda influenced on his overall impression about Dubai.
On the other side - if you rent yearly, you need *a lot* of cash upfront. And there's a decent(close to 100%) chance that you will not live in Dubai full year, because it's just too hot(non-walkable even in September when I visited). So it's not cheaper in the end.
Could you also cover topic about where to go for a summer from there? And how to properly do that(e.g. when I return with family, is it hard to find monthly apartment or it would be simpler and more proper to rent yearly despite I wouldn't live there for a full year)
What do you think about using serviced apartments or aparthotels in Dubai or Sharjah? Especially during the transition period of 3-4 months when you are settling into UAE and finding things out.
Great idea this is basically what I did
Hey! Anything on wooden houses in the west vs stone/marble houses in ME?
a thank thanks
I guess it depends on where you live. As a couple we only spend a third of your living costs per person and that includes health insurance and running a Touareg. Plus we live in a 3 bed townhouse. But we are here to make money and not spend it.
Great video thank you
How much do I need to move there?
Transport $637 $147
Entertain $100 $25

Hi,can i know whats your job?
what would you say is the minimum & ideal salary someone should be earning to live comfortably in Dubai and also save money (i.e similar to your lifestyle) ?
Perhaps $4-5k a month (2k a month rent, 1-2k other stuff, 1k savings)
Decent lifestyle 10k pm. A good lifestyle 25k pm. Sky is the limit.
Any suggestions to find nice apartments? Thank you 🙏
propertyfinder and bayut
Thank you
man, cool video but thats NOT a ribeye steak! It's a cut from the LAMB LEG!
THe grass is NOT greener on the other side.
What site or place do you use to rent a car?
Careem
I would stop renting the car and move the funds to experiences and food.
Yeah I only rent it in months when I know I will need it a lot
😂 500 is 2 dinners not really end of the world
Thailand is the place to be, Dubai looks a total rip off.
depends on what you like
Looking at that cost of living, I have to agree that Thailand, Malaysia and Bali seem like better value for money.
Dubai seems suitable for those with a successful remote-first business or those who have enough money saved up to live off of capital gains.
For those earning a salary or those just starting out with a company, Dubai just won't be worth it.
Bros transport costs is the same as living somewhere in south east asia for 1 month thats for 4 people you lost touch with reality 😂
My biggest problem with your video - no prices in local currency. It is AED and not USD in Dubai.
I know but 98% of people watching this are international, hence more familiar with USD.

Bro, you earn 100k USD+. How many percentage of the world earns that? When we say expensive, please think outside your narrow-{minded/sized} bracket. I spent almost a decade there, and I can tell you even those with cars, a above average accommodation, and able to eat well but not the best food - all complain that it is ludicrously expensive.
Fair - Always depends on what you compare it to - it's not more expensive than any comparable top tier city
It's not expensive if you compare it to other high COL-cities/countries such as Switzerland, Singapore, Paris, London, NY, LA, etc. The Income to COL-ratio is actually one of the best in the world if you have sought-after skills
This comment just comes off as useless winging. All he did was tell us the amount it costs him for his lifestyle. If you find that to be expensive, that's your opinion.
Nobody is saying or implying Dubai is dirt cheap. But why do you think people from cheaper countries come to Dubai? It is all about what you earn compared to what you spend. Salaries in Dubai are good so while things might be expensive compared to say South Asia, South-East Asia, or Africa, they are comparable to North America and Western Europe or much of the alpha cities.
If you play your cards well, you can get a decent salary here and save money. If you don't get a decent salary, stay where it is cheaper.
