Indicative averages (accommodation, food, transport, essentials). City-level costs vary — a counsellor gives you a personalised living-cost sheet.
Exchange rates as of 18 Aug 2026 (31 days ago) — European Central Bank reference rates (AED via open.er-api.com), mid-market. The rupee column is converted from each local currency at that rate. Your bank's remittance rate will be worse than mid-market, and currencies move a percent or two a month, so use these for planning rather than as the amount you will actually pay.
