Hello Forumers, I am new to this site and to the whole forum style set up. It all looks very good and full of very useful information. Now, I would like to know (as I couldn't find) what is the maternity leave in Dubai ? I have found different results from various websites. The most common result is...

Can somebody help tell me what the approximate distance is from the Gardens shopping mall to the American University in Dubai? Would it be possible to cycle? Is there a lot of traffic?
Thanks in advance.

I read that they were putting in cycle paths around Dubai to try and promote alternative methods of transport.
Okay, how long would it take to drive ? Does the traffic ever stop?

Bummer !
What aout the bus ? This is the main road leading North into the centre is it not ?
Can someone provide some better news ?

Hmmmmm, very interesting. Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll have to buy a car then and add more pollution !
I read that cyclists meet at Wofs Bike shop (?) at 5:30am for a cycle. This is so early probably to avoid traffic and to avoid extreme heat.

Both parents (my wife and I) have offers of employment in Dubai. I am worried about our baby son (just over 8 months now). I wonder if the heat of the summer will keep us indoors. Is it practical to go on walks? Any other information or advice would be great. We also have offers in Sydney, Australia...

Thanks. Is it really that bad ? We have already lived in Sydney and the heat is fine to walk in all year round. You just have to wear a hat and total sun block. We have accomodation with my wife's job at the Gardens. Can anyone enlighten me on their opinion of the Gardens. It's next to the Gardens M...

We've already lived in Sydney but now I have an offer of employment there. My wife is an assistant professor in marketing and can work in many universities around the world. She has an offer at St Mary's College (Bay area) Northern California. I have no job there but would have to find something whi...

Concord - you mentioned that the Gardens was crap. Can you tell me if there is a good mixture of Expats living there ? Is it just the design you think is crap. We can live on campus at the American University of Dubai if we want. Do you (or anybody) know what this is like ?

Cheers

Okay Dubai residents, here's your chance to sell me Duabi, UAE ! What is good about this place apart from the usual - Tax Free, the Malls and the good weather ? Take into account that I am a young family with a baby boy (8 months and a half). Both parents working and we are both 34. Okay, off you go...

Both of us intend to work and my wife's work has child care service. I'm not sure about the weather in July, unless you like to frazzle ? Hasn't anyone got anything good they want to tell us ? What about going for a barbecue in the desert or going to Mascat ? What about surfing the dunes or camel ra...

The Major asked what my wife was doing or about childcare.

My wife has an offer as a Professor at the American University and they have childcare there. I have an offer with Fitness First.

It looks definate that we are on our way.

Remicharles1

Hi, Not living there yet but I am about to sign my contract to work for Fitness First. There are 7 of them in the city and I'm sure you'll find out through them where you can get your supps. I know they have free weights sections at the gyms but I don't know how much they cater for the the 'bigger' ...
