    I have been offered a job in Ras Al Khaimah, for an engineering position which for I have a Master's of Science diploma from Europe and two years experience in the industry in Europe, I am a materials engineer, they offered 8000-10 000 AED a month with no extra bonus, just an airplane ticket to visit home once a year, is the salary reasonale? It seems very low compared to Europe even if you consider that there are no taxes in the UAE? Any one that can tell me their salaries in the UAE (I know it can vary between RAK and Dubai or Abu Dhabi but if you can give any info, even if it is about salaries in Abu Dhabi or Dubai and not RAK I would really be thankful, help please!

    too low if you have western passport, otherwise it is salary here for non western.
    some few companies pay employees same salaries regardless of passport.
    sorry to tell you this, but this is the way it is here :(
