Healthcare is free. If you get a good job, you'll save more money than you do in Canada. You don't have to pay tax. The cost of living is more expensive in Dubai but the salaries are even higher, so that's what I mean. Of course you cannot afford to live there if you don't have a stable job. Quality of life? This is very subjective. What do you define quality of life? If you like nature, the four seasons, lakes, rivers, parks, the ability to talk to people on the street - STAY IN CANADA. If you like glitzy urban stuff, boutique perfumes, glossy supermarkets, etc, go to Dubai.

From Canada, you can save money by no taxes. If you have a good job offer, make certain it includes housing and transportation. Other wise you cannot afford to live here!

Since You Have Already Stayed In Bahrain, I Presume You Know How The Lifestyle In GCC Countries Is Like, Dubai Is Just A Little More Expenisive Than Bahrain, when it comes to grocery shopping etc. but when it comes to Accomidation, the rents here are 4 - 5 times more than what you pay in bahrain. for ex: if the rent of a decent 3 bedroom apt in Umm Al Naar is BD 6000, than the rent here is nothing less than AED 140,000 for a 3 bedroom apt. People have more activities to do here, than in Bahrain, therefore, they spend more. Healthcare appears to be resonable, only if you have medical insurance.

If you are a bachelor and planning for a bachelor accommodation and life style, the minimum expenses in Dubai would be approximately US$3000 p.m.
