I also agree the salary is pathetic. I have done much research on this as I will be going to Dubai in january to work as a real estate agent (I'm from Canada). I also agree that "shared accomodations" could turn out to be a nightmare, so beware. If you have some experience or some kind of ...

@Miss Lolly: This is what men think about as much as women do! I always hated this crap line that says that "men are pigs and women are victims". In my short life I've come to realize women are as naughty as men are and sometimes much more. Men show it off, women are more slick about it, t...

I'm was born and raised in Canada but my parents are from Tunisia and we are muslim. I can not agree more, if it makes them happy then SO BE IT!

Hey all! I'm kinda new to this forum but have been reading for a while now. Here's my situation: I'm currently completing my real estate agent certification here in Canada, and I plan to move to Dubai right after to work as a real estate agent. I have spoken with several people on other boards and t...

I have been in Dubai for minus 85 days, wich means I arrive only in January 2009! hahaha

Pimpin80

Not on 22 Sage but I have reached the respectable and wise age of 25 not too long ago and I feel OLDDDD btw im not in Dubai but will be soon!

Pimpin80

I can't believe not a single person works or is familiar with real estate!

Pimpin80

haha i can certainly tell how you feel, from what I've heard quality of service isn't exactly top notch for real estate agents in Dubai. The Macdonald And Company research I pointed to is a very serious research, the only part I'm not sure is when they say sales/leasing is it residential, commercial...

Dark Knight: why 50% of my salary on rent? I'll be living with some friends for the first few months (i know its illegal before someone mentions it) A decent full time real estate agent here in Canada makes about 100 000$ a year after marketing expenses, I would doubt someone doing the same job some...

Sage: Your point is valid, and I'd be lying to say that all this is not making me a bit nervous. However, as soon as the economy picks up things should get much better. And worst comes to worst, I'm taking a one year leave from my job so I could always come back to it or else I could work as a real ...

Dark knight: Your point is also very valid, all those little things add up very quickly, and that's my only concern. From a logic point of view I should stay and work as a real estate agent here in Canada. The market is still strong and the fundamentals are right. But I have already committed myself...

Thanx guys, I realy appreciate the advice. I'm coming over with about 20 000 dirhams and I don't have to pay rent, so hopefully that amount will be enough until I do start making some sales or leases. Ah well I guess I'll just spend more time networking than selling for the first few months!

forget the internet! Do it the old fashioned way, women like men who are bold enough to go after what they want!

Hello all, Quick question for those who speak arabic and live in Dubai: I was born and raised in Canada, but my parents immigrated from Tunisia a long time ago, so I speak the Tunisian arabic. Now I know it's not the exact same arabic but do you think that people in Dubai will understand me? If not,...

I'm sorry Dark Knight but I'll have to side with Britisharab on this one. The west really IS trying to redraw the map of the middle east, that always was and remains the no 1 goal. The whole idea is to separate the oil rich countries from their oil wealth by making new countries in the oil rich area...

Pimpin80

Still don't believe me? Google "divide middle east neo map" and you'll have multiple hours of reading on this topic. The strategic interests are obvious, and if you look at all of the american interventions to give so called "freedom and democracy" to arab nations, you'll realize...

I think one of 2 things will happen: Either prices will freeze at their current levels for a LONG time (2, maybe 3 years), or else there will be a major correction in this market, despite what other people might say. Dubai is on planet earth like the rest of the countries, it IS affected by the glob...

Dark knight: I agree that the Saudis dont care about any other nation, and that is specially true since 9/11 where the US govt threatened to seize muslim assets wich made most oil rich nations pull their money out of there. The americans have realized that their relationship with KSA will never be t...

DPS: Ya well I'm taking that one year leave from my current employer, and it's sure they'll give it to me because it is included in my work contract, so I'll have a year to see. I understand what you mean about the whole crisis thing, but things will eventually come back up, and i believe that will ...

Pimpin80

Thanks Bushra, I thought so, just wanted to confirm? Do you speak arabic? If so, from wich country and how long did it take you to adapt to the UAE arabic

Ok here's my situation: I'm a muslim but I was born and raised in Canada. I have never been very religious, but I was wondering if they will consider me a muslim or an expatriate when applying for an alcohol license? I've been puzzled trying to figure this out but everywhere it says they don't give ...

Who decided what gets written on my visa? I could lie on the form, but my first name is typical of a muslim so i don't think they'd buy it. Oh well, looks like one of you christian expats is gonna have to help me out on this one!

Pimpin80

Oh wow I was sure my name (Khaled) was typically muslim. What happens if I lie on the application form and I get caught? Do they actually have any way of finding out what religion I really am?

Pimpin80

well better play it safe then! I will be living with a friend and she isn't muslim so she has a license, I'll get her to buy the booze for me then! I wouldn't want to get caught and go to jail and get deported for a stupid booze story!

Pimpin80

Ok wow I'm a bit shocked by the last few posts! I'll be a little bit more clear: Yes I'm a muslim, and no I don't practice religion. I really don't appreciate comments from people who say "then be a good muslim and stop doing this or that". As a muslim I know very well that most will do th...

Pimpin80

and if you happen to be a bad muslim that drinks, lives in sin, and dates women (like me hahaha) then I promise I won't tell!

Pimpin80

ive actually checked on the hertz website as I will be needing a car when I get to Dubai and there was nothing under 2373AED per month. I was amazed at all the car models they have wich we dont have here in Canada, Honda city and such, nice!

Hello all, I'll be in Dubai by mid january and will be needing a computer to work/access the internet/play games etc I'm under the impression that laptops/computer parts are more expensive than here in Canada. I can get the new macbook pro here for 2149+taxes wich amounts to about 7300 dirhams. Can ...

As tiresome and annoying as his posts are, it doesn't make them less true, just useless in this context. However anyone who really believes Osama Bin Laden is behind 9/11 is a fool that was brainwashed by the western media. There is zero credible evidence linking any kind of "terrorist" to...

Pimpin80

I however agree that all posts by Britisharab are virtually useless, if not down right annoying. You obviously have an agenda and I think your opinions are very biased. As far as I'm concerned I'd rather stick to the facts, regardless of who's direction the blame will be pointed in. Us arabs have be...
