Dubai Forums

I love this debate. That looks distinctly the result of the use of thermite incendiary cutter charges. Because you know... everyone knows what thermite incendiary cutter charges look like. Or the people who claim they heard what ' sounded like a missile ' when very people know what a missile sounds ...

Is this an AMG publication? It sure read like one.

I read somewhere that Emirates Today will change to a business newspaper with "24/7" in the title. I guess its done.

Explains why (no bad news in the ) Emirates Today didn't up and this did.

Day 2 of Business 24/7 and I think I will basically give up on this as it is 100% propaganda. Starting with the huge, red, bold 16% growth on the front, through to articles on the first 5 pages which speak of nothing but how fantastically mightily great investing in Dubai, the UAE and the GCC is.......

Do people make a big deal when George Clooney is in...

New York?
Los Angeles?
Tokyo?
London?
Paris?
Amsterdam?
Sydney?
Chicago?

No they don't. So Dubai.... don't make a big deal about George Clooney being here, it only shows your true class.

No surprise there

Ok seem to have sorted the problem of the residence visa for my partner with the help of the company I am going to work for, i am told that you need to be employed by a company for at least 12 months before you can leave, however I am also told you can buy yourself out of the 12 months at 500dhs/mo...

Yeh, Apsara Dry Cleaner's on Bank Street gave me back my new pants and I discovered this morning they're covered in the ink they use to mark each item. In Australia, UK and US, if this happened they'd replace them. Any suggestions? Take the pants back and have it out with them. Good luck... they wi...

iAN Thanks so much for your answers! Were not the stereotypical americans :) ok, so timeshare is illegal? Hmm Do you know where I can find out what the requirements are for selling real estate? It's neither legal nor illegal... it's a grey area at the moment, which would make me very cautious as a ...

Should put this in Joke of the Day thread.

It is just me or does it seem like the Americans are always asking the dumbest questions about employment opportunities in Dubai? Remember the guy from Utah? 22 year old, "CEO", real estate instructor, asking whether they have real estate agents in Dubai. Giving the good'old USA a bad nam...

You got it... another quality AMG production

I understand some or most agents/owners ask for 12 months rent in advance, that is a lot of cash at 1800dhs/month to fork out. Is this generally negotiable? I think one year advance payment is mostly for high-rised/expensive apartments. Some others (low rise apts in developed areas) ask for 2/3/4 p...

Is there or isn't there? By not doing anything about it, its condoning this kind of behavior. Dubai is trying to be 1st world and charging 1st world prices, but is oh so 3rd world. It IS still third world, by strict international definition. If you know what is 3rd World, you would never refer to D...
