Is the housing fee on top of the basic? Or included in it - check on that. Also, by law, a company is obliged to provide it's employees with adequate medical insurance, They are also obliged to provide you with a flight home every year after completion of the first year. I don't know on average how ...

Just to add, many times a mother cannot take children out of the UAE without the fathers permission, so you can contact immigration and make them aware, that if she turns up, she does not have your permission to leave with the child. Given that you were married in the UK, a divorce and all the wrang...

Just remember to put the children first, as they are the ones most affected when relationships break down and sadly the parents often for get that! The last thing you want is them resenting you.

Chocoholic

Well you can have a non-religious ceremony to get around that. But if either party is muslim and wants a Sharia marriage then the other person, especially the male is expected to convert.

cipto , Private health insurance is not compulsory, but ALL companies MUST provide you with a Government health card - that is as per UAE labour law.

Never had an issue in any of the countries I've visited out of that list - mind you they are picking 'tourist' destinations - I tend to head off the beaten track.

It's not been that bad, loved the rain over night though, great to be woken up by big fat raindrops hitting the windows.

er call an insurance company and get a quote? Can't give you any kind of idea on that until you know what kind of car you're lookngi at. If it's just you then that salary is fine - I lived on that kind of pay for many years. I assume trip allowance is your flight ticket home each year. However, if y...

Normally you pay duty on anything over 300 dolalrs, and it's 5% of the value, unless it's classed as a luxury item, in which case it's more.

BigBootsDubai , Only for the 4th June, the 3rd sold out in under and hour.

Correct Kanelli. If the husbands visa has expired, been cancelled etc then any sponsor dependents are also cancelled at the same time.

Chocoholic

Prices are definitely cheaper, plus anything gold has to be 18ct and above. Whatever you buy here you can basically add on an extra 3rd of the value price. The Gold and Diamond park in Dubai is good, as well as the old Gold Souk. IF you have a design in mind it would help, as you can be overwhelmed ...

Impossible to answer, as it depends what you're looking for, whether you have any pre-existing conditions etc. But try companies for private insurance such as Good Health, BUPA or a broker who can get a deal for you.

Bora Bora, But then not all Arabs are muslim either. I know plenty of Arabs married to non-arabs. It's when religion gets thrown into the equation, that's when it becomes a little bit more complicated.

Chocoholic

Not really - that's what Shop and Ship accounts are for - makes life so much easier.

Arcus, I think you already have your case sewn up given the info you've written. If she is an alcoholic and suffers from depression then you can have her assessed to see if she is capable of looking after your daughter. Seeing as she is wanting to go through Dubai courts - they will take a very dim ...

Shyh ,'large muslim community'? er the entire country is muslim. Can't really offer up suggestions without knowing what your qualifications, experience and backgrounds are.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and blabbing all over the internet, there are people far worse off than you in the world. How about you shut down your pc and go out and find a job, go and contact local education institutions and enquire about courses, grants, scholarships etc. There are charities an...

BigBootsDubai , rubbish! All that stuff you read about camel spiders is an urban legend, they're completely harmless, just really ugly to look at. FYI they're members of the scorpian family and not actually spiders. You get the usual mozzies and what not. But bear in mind even though there are mass...

Chocoholic

Depends on the plant! But if they're outside, avoid watering in the hours in the middle of the day, do it either early morning or late afternoon/evening.

Chocoholic

Never had that issue - very weird.

Chocoholic

Thought it was obvious. Visit the website. It's gone now until next year. But have to say it was a great event and wonderful to see so many local artists there, so much talent. Had a really great time.

sumonht1990 , Wow you're a bit rude aren't you? Sorry but many people would not like to see Islam all over the world - me being one of them. What gives you the right to consider yourself better than everyone else? --- Wed Apr 25, 2012 12:37 pm --- As for the original question, yes I am patriotic, t...

er then you need to look on Dubizzle or perhaps an electrical store that sells them.

Fat on the meat is what gives it its flavour. Simply drain off the excess fat as it cooks - no big deal.

Chocoholic

Hey Mrsarnie, soory to hear about that. I'd go the other way - always been to the Welcare, never had any issues, wouldn't touch the American with a barge pole (they managed to miss my friend had a broken neck!!!!) Having said that, can't comment on the dialysis facilities of any of them. They're all...

People can make up their own minds IF they want to follow a religion or not. Personally I reckon athiesim is the way to go. Religion just causes no end of issues, pain and suffering the world over. Why can people not just believe in the humanity of mankind. People can make their own decisions and be...

Chocoholic

Absolutely amazing that is. He could get a job as a set designer.

Chocoholic

Riiiight, so pulling the roasting tray out mid-roast and tipping out the fat is too much work is it?

Chocoholic

Completely disagree Berrin! What about those societies who've no contact with any sort of religion? Those tribes, which are still being discovered? They have no knowldge of religion nor God, yet they seem to function pretty well on their own. Just because some people don't believe in God or religion...
