Can anyone recommend a good reliable place to buy tyres? I live in Bur Dubai close to Karama.

Need to replace the front tyres on my 2005 Mustang V6. Also want to get the tracking/allignment checked. Anyone any idea how much that will cost here?

thanks in advance

You should be able to live ok on that. You might want to ask for a bit more on the accomodation. Rather than get a hire car ask for a transport allowance. Then you can buy a car of your choice.

2 flights a year would also be normal.

If it wasn't for the American and European led economies buying your oil for the last 30 years countries in this region would still be in poverty! Get real! You complain about European companies buying shares in Cairo Airport yet you fail to mention the amount of European and American businesses owe...

Again you show your blinkered opinion and fail to answer valid questions about Arab owned companies in Europe and the US. Ports are of far greater strategic importance than airports and Dubai know owns a significant number of ports through its purchase of the British company P&O Ports. Don't for...

I have the Linksys skype phone but never use it because the quality is not as good as using a usb headset.

betting is illegal in the UAE, so if anything of that sort does exist it will be offshore or on the internet somewhere but i really doubt it exists since the only people who would be interested in betting would be the locals who usually wouldn't be interested (since its not allowed in Islamic law) ...

I looked at 1 bed apartments in IC. for 70k you should be able to get a 1bed apart in the CBD area where you will have facilities such as a pool. You will struggle to find the smae i Bur Dubai under 75k.

Am leaving my company. My passport (UK) is currently with my sponsor.

If they are difficult about giving it back, who should I complain to?

They asked for it to be paid before I leave which I cant do because they have my passport, hence I cant get a car loan to repay them. Have offered them custody of the car but just expect them to cause trouble! there is nothing...

I will be staying in Dubai as i have another job to move to and they will get their money back on the car loan in full next month as soon as I have my new visa! I would already have done it if they hadnt witheld my passport!

The car is in my name. I have put the car up for sale, but dont know how long it will take to sell!. I could try to take a car loan, but surely the bank will check with my employer to make sure i am working there! and I guess that the bank would not give e a loan based on my new labour contract beca...

In England it is possible to get a Bankers Draft. Its a cheque drawing on the banks funds rather than an account. The bank takes the funds from your account when issuing it. Is there an equivalent in Dubai banking? when I called my bank (not one of the best) they were talking about a Demand Draft, w...

Do not whatever you do let them keep your passport!
I went through hell with my old company when I quit all because they had my passport!

It is illegal and if they insist walk away!

Rosbif71

you think/ you are sure it is illegal? i am not desperate to find a job;) I am just looking for a job and i just happened to be in this situation. It is illegal on paper, but 90% of the companies do it. Where the hell do you get 90% from? Ok whiteboy, you guys have special rules. Companies here try...
