Where is Dubai Outsource Zone ? Dec 03, 2008
Hi I am new to this forum, I received an offer from an IT Firm which is located in DOZ. My question is how is the working condition in this place ?, is it really far from the actual Dubai District, carama, bur ?

Where is the best/nearest place to stay when you are working in DOZ ?

Hope someone could help me with these questions ... I appreciate it with a kiss.

DOZ is quite far from the places you mentioned..,

It is near to Dubai Silicon Oasis and commutable distance from International City and Academic City...

And for shopping you can jump to Dubai outlet mall and if you want chinese products you can head to Dragon mart.

The surrounding area of DOZ is almost a desert.

you have to visit a lot of other places to know about dubai..

thank you very much for your reply. That is quite a remote area, is it not a dangerous place to stay ? I intend to be there by January. How many hours do you think could be travel time between DOZ and KARAMA? Thank you very much for your help!

Its about 20 minutes drive if the traffic is light. If you are unlucky enough to catch the rush hour, it could take an hour or more.

The area is under heavy development at the moment so be prepared for a lot of construction traffic and few amenities (read that as sod all amenities!)

It safe for you as there is nothing there yet!

The odd scorpion maybe...

hmm.. didnt realize you could not open your mail box. I sent you a long one :)

i work in DOZ for Mashreqbank. Moved there a couple of months ago. The place is not as far as many people think and its a very nice area to work in. most of the large banks and other organiztions are there now. Its developing and the best part is, its far from the hustle and bustle. once you get to know the place its comfortable.

For living, you have 2 options. Mirdif (expensive - 15 min drive) and International City (resoanble - 5 min drive) I live in Mirdif so its v convenient for me to move around.

i would be very happy to give you more details and help you find a place too since many people from my bank are moving there too.

if you wish, you can give me a call. cheers
