Is your offer from a US firm? AED-USD conversion suggests that you are being offered the class of 2018/2019 or "US NQ" rate (usd190k). Are you only qualified in SG? If so, it's a pretty decent package, considering that it's tax free. The NQs in New York would be paying 30-40% of their salary as taxes etc. You will be able to rent a nice condo in a nice area in Dubai with the living allowance. The only thing you may want to consider would be the number of vacation days you are allowed - as it's common for people to grow homesick very quickly.
