I work alone.
I agree on it being mundane but life is very secured and safe here.
In malaysia always feel life is on the line.

Did you get any friend there? How long have you been working there? I don't feel secure here although the security is better than Malaysia, maybe just because its not my home country..

A friend of mine have recommended me to a company base in Dubai for a job as Field Service Representative (system base & handling airlines customers within that region). So i think there will be a lot of travelling.

But before i want to pursue further i need some info/advice.

1. Anyone having experience working in Dubai? Is is worth to go there
2. I know cost are high there. What is the ideal salary range to sort of survive there? I know it depends on the perks that the company gives, which i'm going to ask soon.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks!

Either you would be sharing a room , or taking a whole room to yourself.
Transportation won't be a lot if you're close by to your office.

You need at least 6-7k based on all expenses

Assuming 1k for housing and 1k for food (much less if you cook at home) and remaining ~1.5k for other misc expenses you can save quite a bit.
Most companies will provide housing allowance , and it's a conservative amount that I have mentioned.
Always realize one is easily replaceable with other nationalities who will work harder and for less.

Accomodation will be your biggest expense. Price differs greatly on place you want to stay. 1K will only get you a room in most expat areas. Food is cheap. Sould get a car, used ones are very cheap.

Must remember , rule of law does not prevail although daily life is not a hassel. Boring life unless you have friends. Be defensive at all times, not easy to talk logic to authorities!

Spent 10 years at the sandpit, could not wait to get home! My advice to all intending to work in the M East, save money,keep clean & get home!

Hello everyone, sorry for the small offtopic. I am going to Dubai in a few weeks and would like to rent a car there for the duration of my stay. I read about paddockrentacar in the Internet, the prices are lower there than many competitors, and therefore the question. Did someone use this service?

you need a pay package of 10k minimum .
*
10k dinar or USD?

is not enough to save back more money to Malaysia if 10k dinar RM@dirham.
accommodation is the most critical. if your working places are within a metro line, then transportation should be ok.

may sufficient if the package cover all the goodness i.e. accommodation, transportation, international school fees etc.
