To reassure youself about the cost for accomodation go to the Gulf News classifieds online and a place like http://www.dubizzle.com. You'll see that the monthly allowance is more than adequate. These online sites (another is Kaleej times) will also help you determine the cost of cars too. For other ...

I think it is a great place to live compared with other places we've been there are a great bunch of people around and less transient than most other expat working destinations where turn over is every 2 to 3 years.You find quite a few people have been here for their working lifetime thus far. All e...

You should be able to find a car within that price range and a good place to look is on line in the classifieds of Khaleej Times, Gulf News and in http://www.dubizzle.com. Also supermarket notice boards are good. The petrol is cheap and for that matter so are taxis but as a trailing spouse the novel...

If you are going to check out the shooting range at Jebel Ali the beach is just opposite where alot of young people seem to kite surf-we're the old people withkids swimming and building sand castles!!

Kite surfing is excellent to watch but looks pretty hair raising!!

GAB

Actually it isn't really a bad place to drive- I think you have to choose your house/apt close to everything to take into account that extra 30 minutes you may have to spend on the road because of some holiday, accident, road works or special event that holds up the traffic. There is a rail system g...

Wrong assumption sniper420- he was a person who could well afford it obviously-loud, obnoxious, one of his phrases was "these people have no business sense"-so my guess is racist too! He also abused the Security Guard approximately 2 inches from his face for questioning his wife who walked through t...

GAB

Chocoholic-EEEEW!!! Heaps of cheap stuff there but when we've been it doesn't open until 4.30pm so check opening times first. Some real bargains there tho' and worth the effort of sorting thru' the tacky stuff!!

GAB

Hmmm...too early in the morning for that!!

My suggestion is to get out and meet some more intelligent people....after all racism/prejudice/bigotry is a mental deficiency.

GAB

Try Jebel Ali beach-30 minutes drive-nice beach, little hut thingees and showers and you can watch the gaagle of kite surfers summersault in the air-a great few hours out! Cheers!! Woolongong? The name cracks me up! Should call it Miami Beach or something equally obscure! Turn just before the green ...

GAB

Yeah and the uni is no longer there, right?? Bit like the defence roundabout?? Where are the army barracks?? LOL The references here to landmarks that existed long ago kills me!! In fact getting directions to anything here is hysterical eg "Where is your office?" answer "Near the Burjuman." ... "Wha...

Sorry to butt in but bigotry is learned. A child is not born with prejudices against others. "Teaching" acceptance is not the answer whereas showing or leading by example is. (Yeah! Don't finish a sentence with is! Done that twice now!! :) ) Watch young children play with others -neither language no...

GAB

Funny in more ways than one-I always get my husband to do the driving :oops: Anyway you basically just drive up the Sheikh Zayed Road and follow those signs to Jebel Ali then follow the signs to the Jebel Ali Golf Resort ( :oops: I think that's what they say! Gee, I should take more notice shouldn't...

Wishing you all a fab year-have a good one!!

Hi 1. One of my children basically spent her first 4 1/2 years from birth in air conditioning-she's normal!! Just don't over do it and have it freezing as new borns have a tendency to squirm and kick off covers- sometimes sleeping in an all-in-one with a light sheet solves this. Also here air-con is...

GAB

Every place is the same but "social pressure"....gosh, I thought we all left that behind in the school yard. It is a fact of life that someone will always have more than you but it would be really shallow to live beyond you means and stupid too, just to compete. Just be happy with your lot. I think ...

Just look at this and the questions and answers!!

Hi,
Try the classified in Gulf News
http://www.gulfnews.com/classifieds/index.html
maybe this will help.

Medical, transport and accommodation can chew into your salary very quickly.

Two cubic metres?? You would be looking at air freight, I think. So you would contact the airlines I assume. For sea freight here's a list from The Connector (here in Dubai): Bridgeway Removals 0506328871 email: kamar@bridgewayshipping.com DASA International Movers 344545 Executive Movers Worldwide ...

Quote "Third World country (even if as flashy as UAE)"
You suggest that this is a Third World country?????

That's hysterical!! This is as good as it gets! Oh, and I think you'll find crime rates and safety are bigger issues in alot more places!!

GAB

Third world by definition now includes such a vast array of countries that incude under developed (and not likely to develop) countries to developing countries it is misleading. My point is that in layman terms it gives the wrong impression to someone who intends on up-rooting and moving here. Avail...

GAB

The traffic is not that bad really! Trust me!!

As for your bag I am pretty sure the airlines should replace it for you-I'd check with the airport on that one, however, since you've got it, it maybe too late. Have fun in Dubai-it is a great place to live!

GAB

We went with Nestle, not only because it was the first ad I found

but also because they have fluoride added.

GAB

Interesting. There aren't that many Emiratis compared with expats are there???-I have only knowingly met one Emirati and he was polite and well spoken. I find my friends are of varying nationalities and races here-how can they not be? and similarly at home. Why would it be any different here? Grante...

Probably not new car prices but will give you an idea of market price try

the classifieds.

Look up COLA indices and you'll find where your city lies in relation to Dubai. Do an archive search because I've answered heaps of questions about costs before ie milk, bread, meat etc. Petrol is around DH6.50 per gallon, a value meal at Maccas is DH14 and a kids meal is DH10. Going to the pub is e...

Isn't there a public library next to Union Coop on Al Wasl??
