Hello, I know its a bit cheeky to post a question on here without making friends first, but I'm hoping you can offer some advice.

Thanks for that- sounds really good. Is it quite far from the main hub of Dubai (Jumeirah etc)?

Thanks everyone. Pardon my ignorance, but what is a dewa bill and why has it gone up so much?
