It's a 'private' club in Marina - by invitation only.

Its very possible. However is that necessary in Dubai? Yet to be seen.

Dubai: The daily run time for the Dubai Metro will be from 5am to 12.30am - about 19 hours and 30 minutes every day, said a senior official. Passengers will not be able to ride trains at night from 12.30am to 5am. The first train will start at 5am and the operation will be suspended soon after midni...

Expect the impossible in Dubai.

I am still curious how some of the tracks cross with the highway on SZR.

I always thought it soldier boy !!!

Regarding Coffee Bean and Tea's cheesecake - sorry, don't agree. I try them from time to time hoping they will taste as good as they look, but dissappointed every time. Indeed... Coffee Bean and Tea's cheesecake is terrible.... Nooo. When they first started it was good. Not sure where went wrong af...

Hi everyone, I'm currently thinking to relocate to Dubai but never been there so I was trying to see what the different living area look like. I came across some photos of the Green community, near the Dubai Investment park. Those photos looked amazing, with a lake, a lot of trees,... Then I looked...

Does it burn a hole in your wallet too?

Did you get out at 7 am?
1) Go to Marina Walk, there will be no short of human beings.
2) Try Grand Habtoor
3) Try Grosvenor House

Thanks for your answers ! So bad that google is so outdated, It would be interesting to see what it looks like now. The company I'm applying to is located in the Dubai Investment Park, is the traffic really so bad over there ? What would be a good living location to avoid spending hours in traffic ...

thanks for all the question marks. I just went out to a couple of bars and yes there were people. I guess I thought there would be more people walking around in the streets during the day but I have only seen the newly constructed area so I could be way off. You dont get many people walking on the ...

Buy one here. They're cheap. Thanks for your response ian. Would you know of any specific local brand that works well? Reading through other messages in this forum, I thought that there were not that many good quality shower filters available locally, but then my knowledge about Dubai is very limit...

Must be all muddy due to the recent rain.

this morning?
Most of the service roads are floated, adding to the normal congestion heading towards Trade Centre. Main SZR itself looks pretty ok. Everyone must be caught up in the service road. Office parking lots are dead empty. Half of it is floated anyway!

Havent seen imported ones. But my shopping experience is confined to supermarket only - carrefour to be exact.

Dont fred. Use your exisiting licences. Once you have your residence visas, you can directly convert to UAE licences. US and UK are exempted from test/exams.

Any suggestions, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Still waiting for you to post your experience. Was the airline ok? Food ok? How do you like the traffic? etc ..

He came for one day.
Traffic was on halt.
Public holiday was declared.
Dubai suffered a potential Dh 400m loss that day.

Who is he? George Soros of Dubai? Seems like he is more powerful than the Sheikhs

Status quo on the traffic condition. Ditto on the parking lots.

It's going to be a boring day!

Status quo on the traffic condition. Ditto on the parking lots. It's going to be a boring day! Status quo on the traffic situation from where I am sitting. But the parking lots are now fast taken up. Wonder if there will be police issuing tickets to parking offenders today - when there is even less...

Looks like you got quite a lot packed in in a short period of time. Well planned .. Dont think I will be that adventurous on my trip. It would evolve hotel, massage, eat, shop (for me it will be waiting for the others to do their shopping!), massage, hotel, eat shop - you get the drill. I am certain...

This is an on going issue in that part of the world. I also know of cases where the children are kidnapped and then sent to the street to work as beggar or prostitutes. Yes kids! To the extend the mastermind will chop off hands and legs of kids so that they appear more pitiful when begging on the st...
