Contact Etisalat and check that you are enabled for international data roaming. This is different from the voice international roaming. When in the foreign country you will need to ensure that Etisalat have international data roaming agreements with that country and network. Your voice calls may wor...

Not true - the network you are roaming onto may have voice agreements but not data. For e...

Dubai Media City - building no.14.

I hope someone can help: I have been in my apartment for nearly 2 years in the marina (since Oct 2006). When I moved in I paid market rate for the year. Last year, and as per the rental laws, the landlord could not increase the rent so we agreed to renew again. The renewal period is nearly due again...

The extra he wants me to pay is 15K Aed plus the 5% - I say go **** yourself Mr Landlord and I'll see you in the rent committee.

I'm surprised at your comments - why give in so easily?

XPClone

I sent a nice polite email to my landlord stating that I will not be accepting these payments and will only increase in line with the rent cap. It took over a week for him to reply and he basically said - lets have a friendly chat in Sept (when he was coming back to Dubai to renew with me) and we ca...

I am in the Marina and use Helpers. Try these numbers: 043933777 and 043389981. I recommend asking for Amy if you can get her.

I pay 120 AED for 4 hours every week. Cleaning and ironing.

I originally came from the UK and have been in Dubai for 2 years now. I didn't have a pension in the UK and since moving to Dubai I have been saving money. Now I think I need to start looking at a pension for when I grow old and wrinkly. Does anybody have any advice on what I should do and where I s...

Marina walk is the blue arrow. The red arrow is Marina promenade. Marina walk is where all the shops, restaurants and coffee shops are. Marina promenade is very new and I think is aimed to be modelled in the same way but does not yet have all the facilities.

XPClone

Depending on where you are in the Marina your commute will take you 15 mins 40 mins at the moment. Traffic is getting very bad at the moment due to roadworks and the RTA being complete muppets.

When the Marina mall opens I think the roads in the Marina will be crippled.

XPClone

Good question! Marina Heights is near by I think. Apart from that its difficult to say as there are so many being built.

When it is finished you should be able to walk all around it.

Does anyone know where I can get hypnotism to stop smoking in Dubai?

What was the point of your post - knob!

There are boxing clubs and football clubs in Dubai. Behind the Times Square shopping centre there is a club that has 5 a side pitches and a boxing club.

I wouldn't be worrying about that if I was you. Just be grateful that you have a job.

I'm looking to move to a 2 bed in October when my current lease expires. I am looking at a 2 bed villa in the springs as the wife wants a small garden. I have seen the prices for these drop quite a bit and there are quite a lot available. Do you think this will still be the case in August/September/...

Ouch!

Get those headsets on!

Show me some official communication on this and I will believe you. Until then its all bullsh!t.

Oh I've seen the signs and even read the report on the RTA site: http://www.rta.ae/ but please point at where it officially states that your car will be impounded and you will be fined 5000 AED. I received an email on this yesterday and it is just one of those mails that gets sent around Dubai. Mayb...

With prices coming down on property in Dubai would you consider buying property here this year? With prices forecasted to to drop further this summer do you think it would be wise to buy a property? I have rented since being in Dubai and instead of renting again I was considering buying a place at t...

Why does every post have to turn into a race related argument on this forum???

The subject of the post is about bad driving experiences with t!ts on the road.

Every race and nationality has its bad drivers - lets get this back on topic shall we?

I am considering leaving my current employment and have 2 options to go for regarding my next job in Dubai

I am currently on an unlimited UAE contract and my notice period is 3 months.

Can anyone suggest some good ways on how I can negotiate early release from this 3 months notice period.

Not sure of the lake that you asked for but there is a great bike shop on Shk Zayed road called Wolfis.

They should be able to help you.

Does anyone know why the tenant is still having to pay for the agency fees in Dubai when renting a property. Shouldn't it be the landlord paying this as they own the property??? When property was booming and there was a shortage people didn't have a lot of choice but to pay it- but now things have c...

Anyone have any views on this???

XPClone

I am surprised at many of your comments here?

I think the point is here is why should we just expect and accept bad customer service here! I have found that Dubai takes bad customer service to whole new level.

XPClone

Its a renters market. What this means is that you can bargain with them and get all the fees out of your end of the contract so you dont have to pay for them. In fact, just walk away from the deal if you dont like it, they will freak out and make it better for you. for example, you can get free par...
