Expat Packages - Reasonable requests

21 years ago
I have been offered a position in Dubai (by a British firm).

I worked in Bahrain from '90-'97 and at that time my expat package included a base salary and allowances (or provided) for housing, vehicle, fuel, 6-weeks vacation and return air fare to the US or fare equivalent each year for all family. Salary was paid in US dollars.

Is this still standard fare for a package today?

What can a family of 3 expect to ask for in Dubai as a standard?

Any help on suggested housing allowances, school fees (now that my daughter is school age) or other would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Thank you

Finding this info on the net seems near impossible...
