Dubai offer at AED 9,000 all-in, is that enough to actually save?

Offer is AED 9,000 total, which they described as "salary plus allowances" with no separate housing. I am single, no dependants, and the plan is to send money home every month. Everyone tells me Dubai is tax free as if that settles it, but I cannot find honest numbers for what is left after rent. If you are on something close to this, roughly what do you actually keep at the end of the month?
