Will part-time earnings in Dubai be sufficient given the living expenses?
No, part-time earnings in Dubai typically will not be enough to cover all your living expenses.
With up to 20 hours of work per week allowed and average wages of AED 20 - 50/hour, you might earn about AED 2,000/month if working at AED 25/hour. However, student living expenses in Dubai are usually AED 4,000 - 7,000/month, including accommodation, food, and transport.
Part-time income can help offset costs, but you will need additional funds from family, scholarships, or loans to manage your full budget.
How much will a month in UAE cost you?
