Sorry to disappoint you - There are only a few townhouses around the Emaar built part of the Marina (and very expensive if you can find someone to sell you one). As for the palm, Garden Villas are around 5-6M at the moment with signature villas at 10-17M. If you really want to live in one of these a...

Townhouses in both these developments are going through the stratosphere pricewise and despite any common sense, continue to rise. A guide to prices: 4M (very small 2 bed townhouse) 130-150k 3M/E (3 bed but a lot bigger) 150-180 2/1/M/E (3 beds and loads more space) 180-210 All these townhouses have...

Just to clarify, those are annual rental prices in AED!

Duh

While a fair few people 'live in sin' in Dubai, being an unmarried mother is another issue entirely. While it maybe that the schools have not responded for another reason, it could well be for that fact. If you really are insistent in coming to work in Dubai - bite the bullet and get married first.

100ml of liquids will be what, 5 tablespoons full?

By the way Sports City isnt built yet!! Apartments are likely to be ready by end of 2008. International City isn't going to be the classiest place to live, and that is being polite. I know of several buyers that have bought apartments there for use as 'staff accommodation' - several lowly paid peopl...

You will be fine in Dubai ... i know people who have entered not only with a stamp but with a full page visa stamped on the passport. However dont even think about entering Saudi, Syria, or Lebanon Wow, I am sure I have read several articles that say a person is refused entry with an Israeli stamp.

from what i see they have the option of staying in crew accomdation or getting a housing allowance and staying where they can afford to. i know five or six members that have used their alowances to buy properties - others stay in rented villas/ appartments and some stay in company owned appartments...

Hi, There are over 30 primary schools in Dubai that carry the 'British' stream. Fees are generally between AED30-60k per year at primary level. A big warning as due to the boom in Dubai, most schools are full with waiting lists AND most have a priority for British Passport holders. While most of the...

Getting my first Summer DEWA bill for my villa.
Cancel the Ferarri, its gone on paying for the air conditioning.

OK...

Firstly, drink a bottle of spirits (minimum 40% proof)

Next heat your clothes iron to max.

Next call for an ambulance, as you will need it in 5 minutes.

Finally, apply hot iron to affected area until you can smell your skin getting crispy.

Good luck

By 2009 Salik is likely to be a feature of most main highways in Dubai.
I would have assumed that most people would realise that the first 2 stations were a 'trial' before it was rolled out through the rest of Dubai.

By the way, in the Uk, RTA stands for Road Traffic Accident.
An apt name?

"pls geniun/serious replys only" Spoilsport. Yep, all kinds of jokes open up for this one.. Diamonds such as 'I have a friend with a cricket bat' 'I can slam the door on your face for 50dhs' and a lot more. Seriously, good luck in your search. Go to one of the more expensive nightclubs an...

Just to add my 10 pence worth... My first trip to Dubai in 2005 with my (now wife) was to the very same Jumeirah Rotana. No problems there, just make sure your 'wife' dresses conservatively if you fancy a walk outside at night, as the surrounding area of Satwa is mainly of staring male workers (noth...

Arabian Ranches Golf Club Got married there myself, while I was living there (you don't have to be a resident). Fantastic, beautifully decorated inside room, music available if you need it, fantastic food done to your own menu, and compered to the hotels it was very very reasonable. Rachel the resta...

In addition to my previous post, the inside (and outside if you really are brave in August) of the Ranches Golf Club are superb for nice photos.

Hi, Rather than focusing on the male partners work potential in Dubai, it may be initially simpler for both of you to get to Dubai, by the female getting a work position. As a teacher (you must be qualified, your degree will be attested locally) pay at the better schools in Dubai for a teacher will ...

Easiest solution... People have found a taxi driver that they have felt they can trust. Then took the drivers mobile number and used him whenever they need transport. I have heard stories of people using the same taxi driver for years, for school runs etc and of course the taxi driver is glad of the...

Just to clarify. Most UK contraceptive pils are available (and very cheap!) in pharmacies in Dubai, so you can continue your original prescription with the same tablets rather than be picking up 'any old pil'. It is also possible to ask your doctor in the Uk for 6 or 12 months prescription before yo...

LCFC forever!!! It's a small world. From Humberstone!! We had some stuff sent out 2 years ago. Everything was received EXACTLY as we packed it. All boxes were still sealed and totally intact.

Sharjah living will mean 4 hours of traffic gridlock every day in rush hour traffic, so not recommended if you can help it.

Mirdiff is currently the choice for people seeking value for money and a 'reasonable' (for Dubai anyway) journey to work.

Easiest way of finding a property in Mirdiff.... Drive around Mirdiff, most villas to let will have estate agents boards with phone numbers outside. You can see the sort of places you like the look of outside before making a call... :shock: A WORD OF WARNING - Part of Mirdiff is directly on the airp...

Best Solution? if you dont mind taking them to the Vets, feline friends will pay for a checkover and neutering.
