Generally the food cost in Dubai will be comparable to that of Western Europe. A major factor which will stress your budget are the high rental prices for rooms or apartments. For renting a mediocre room in the city, you should at least plan to spend 400 Euros/month. If you’re fine to share a bedroom with more persons, you will find cheaper offers. Mostly, your employer will help you to locate a room, or arrange one for you.
Unfortunately, dining in Dubai is not as cheap as in some of the Asian neighbours. This is regrettable, considering the excellent Arabian cuisine. For a full dinner including a soft-drink you should at least plan to spend 10 Euro. Depending on the location, this figure can rapidly rise to 20, 30 or more. The excellent nightlife of Dubai also won’t come cheaply, in fact this might be the biggest threat to a carefully planned budget.
The allowance you will receive as an intern depends on many factors and thus will fluctuate widely. Some companies don’t pay any allowance, some will pay for your accommodation; but from most MNC companies you will receive an allowance of around 400-500 Euro.
