Most? Maybe some. Check anyway, you'll fry anything if it's only for 110v. A plug adapter doesn't change the voltage.

No.
No.
Yes.

Youtube has some videos.

It does. Not often though.

Don't live in the mosque then?

I use a plastic bucket

Better Homes also.

$60k Oz is about 180k dhs? That and more is market rate for a 3+ bedroom villa. Steep for a 1 bdrm apartment. Yes there's a shortage.

Excellent!!!

Most/all laptops will work on different voltages. I was meaning for general appliances - kettles, toasters, sybians, etc.

An adapter is not a power supply is what I was trying to point out.

Gets hot in the summer though living on a building site.

Live close to DIFC or close to JAFZ. Then only one of you will have to suffer traffic jams. Do the drive at rush hour when you visit to get an idea of what you can stand. Check out intersections under construction. Defense roundabout will be a nightmare for the next couple of years. Dubai Marina may...

After two summer months working outside in Dubai 6 days a week you might change your mind.

Some information - Regent International School

It's been blocked for years. I think because otherwise you can view blocked sites via archive.org. That, and google translate are two of the most irritating blocks they have.

That's one licence, not two.

Mortgages up to 100% of original price (usually much lower than purchase price) are possible but maybe only off-plan, 80% to 90% is more common. Some banks will do mortgages on current valuation, but not to 100% I think. You'll need a salaried job and residence visa, or couple of years of accounts i...

Bedenke aber wenn Du hier eins kaufst hast Du keine deutsche Tastatur You can probably adjust the software settings to take inputs as though it's a German keyboard. Or bring a cheap one with you. IBM compatible is much more common like anywhere. MACs are usually regarded as more user-friendly. You ...

Phone the Driving School and the embassy.

If you want legal advice, ask a lawyer. You'll get forum advice from a forum. Dxbsoul sounds knowledgeable though. You could send a letter to the Gulf News legal advice column that runs once a week.

Try DIFC.

Why? Sounds like useful information.

Given our ideal monthly rental budget of 2000 GBP You're aware it's normal to pay a year's rent up front? Sometimes split into 2 or 3 post-dated checks. By renting first, you might save a good part of the year's rent on the purchase price because you're not desperate to buy and therefore in a bette...

Watch out for this boy.

Get here and look at the areas/places before you sign up. Traffic is a problem for entry/exit to some areas I think.
