Job offer

I have a possible job offer in Abu Dhabi, the salary is around the 26000 mark + an allowance still to be negotiated (rental, electricity, water, rates,car instalment, fuel, insurance).
My wife will be joining me and my x2 dogs (1 large , 1small) , as i would require accomodation with a small garden, i assume townhouses are the best bet??
Could somebody please recomend where would be a great place to stay, i know it does depend on the rental allowance, however if u could let me know what it costs in certain areas that would be great.
My wife is a food technologist and im yet to see anything of the sort in the job websites,does anyone know if food tech's exist in Abu Dhabi (might sound like a silly question).
Assuming the allowances cover us and 26000 is "disposable", is this salary decent for x2 people to live on considering all other expenses that i have not mentioned.

Butain Area And Arabian Gulf road would be great, as there are some compounds with small villas and garden, cost will vary but it will be at least 170k, so you better get a good deal with your employer, the 26k will be great if the company will pay the other expenses like transportation and house..etc
I believe that my dreams will become true ONE DAY.....

Hi,
I think the salary is pretty good in a tax free country. I am not sure about the garden but you can find a pretty good 2 room apartment in 8-10k per month or you can search out for a villa. Please check out the classified section on gulfnews.com and khaleejtimes.com

2-Elec+water+Internet max 500
3-mobile average of 300 to 400
4-Entertainment as you said very hard, for average 1000
