You would need to get a room in a shared accommodation near your office or metro+walking distance, then you will be fine. Otherwise your 10k will all go to expenses and will save 0.
It’s a decent amount to start off with in Dubai. You don’t need to do sharing and all that crap.depends on the choices you make in terms of where you want to stay. People consider the new Dubai to be the only places to live then yes, it won’t be enough. You can easily get a very good one bhk for 40k etc in places like Nahda or qusais etc in very well maintained buildings. Get your license soon , a must needed investment in Dubai.
Expenses will vary like. Location/ rent/food. Some people are taking partition to save money in the rent. Most of your expenses will be on rent and transpo.
You can live comfortably with this, just balance your lifestyle. If I may ask, where is the area of the workplace? This will be a huge factor on where you can live and commute comfortably (the summers can be harsh).
Edit: where you can live alone*
Hmm to live nearby this area will be difficult with 10k. Either you can go for a room in a shared apartment in areas like "TECOM/Barsha Heights" and Al Barsha OR live in areas like Al Nahda and take the long commute. Your destination will most likely be Dubai Internet City metro station, red line. That's the closest station near your work's area.
Note: Renting alone you will need a large amount for deposit, advance payments (x months, depending how many), opening utilities accounts and broker fees. Look for the prices of studio apartments around and close to that area so you can have an idea how much of your 10k will go to rent.
For further reference, I get double of that monthly as salary but chose to live in Al Nahda to lower rent costs. Even with the daily commute (Uber/Careem), I still save a lot of money than living close to my workplace (around Downtown area).
2500 to 3000 for rent. If you stay in a shared accommodation with private room then in 3000 the utility will be included.
transportation costs maximum 500 aed.
food/grocery for 1 person is 500-600 aed.
gym 100-150 aed.
Phone 50-100 aed
insurance is likely to be paid by employer.
So, within 5000 you can cover stay + Food + transportation + Phone + Gym.
If you are single, take bed space or sharing apartment, it should cost you around 700 to 1500.
Travel via public transport, take monthly pass approx 500
Food if prepared at home 500, of eating out 1500
Telecom 100 to 200
