Is the cost of living in Abu Dhabi high?

"Fairly high, comparable to New York City and other too metro areas in the states. But like most areas, there are places for all budgets," remarked another expat in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

"The cost of living in Abu Dhabi is relatively expensive, as the city is known for its luxurious lifestyle and thriving nightlife. One bedroom apartments in the city tend to range from around $1,200-2,400 USD, while two bedroom apartments start around $2,200 and can cost up to $6,800 per month. Eating out in Abu Dhabi is also pricey, with dinner at a moderately priced restaurant costing around $25 per person," said a member in Abu Dhabi, the UAE.
