Zobia: Depends of what kind of job u are getting into Zobia; I’ve seen Phillipino women being treated very badly (it’s in the mindset of people out here i guess), but generally it’s ok. I’ve personally never faced any problem at work because i’m a woman.
In fact I really indulge in “women Treatment” out here: You have your own banking, your own queue for cinema tickets, your own cash register at supermarkets. I was amazed in the beginning when certain men at work will not enter the elevator if there are women!!!

But then you are always treated on the basis of your nationality; which really sucks!!
Working in UAE is not really recommended though, with the hike in rent and prices…your average salary can range from 5000AED - 15000AED. You might pay around 4000AED - 6000AED for a studio flat. (1$ - 3.65AED)

true. middle east is not where i can work :hinna:

whereas living expenditure ain’t different (or less than NA—i think ).

btw what is studio flat? (is flat same as apartment? :aq:)
