Dubai recruitment agencies

CVB wrote:The last country I worked in was Australia. They seemed to have it sussed. Your vehicle registration automatically included third party cover,

I think that's unusual in most countries (except for Australia/NZ)?

Gulf News classifieds.

Carrefour, Geant, and the car accessory road near Shindagha tunnel. Not very girly though I think. Buy some pink paint at Ace.

www.mecarpool.com or ask to post a message on school noticeboard?

I've just used dishwash liquid in the past.

Dubai Taxi offer a similar service, not shared though.

Private taxis do this (but are illegal and sometimes get fined).

Or try www.mecarpool.com

1. It's generally safe to walk around alone at night. Naif Square is a bit dodgy. Women walking alone late at night are sometimes assumed to be prostitutes which could lead to arrest (unlikely if you're obviously a westerner), or ending up richer by the time you get home. Sometimes people get picked...

Possible? Yes, and common.
Legal? Not in "family areas" but a law that is mostly ignored.

trafficlinq wrote:i actualy want to know whether ABS is that useful on dubai roads.

Strange question. When is ABS not useful on normal roads?

Only the new runway

Some info here - Ajman University, but not much in the way of reviews.

Ask your UAE insurance company for Oman insurance.

Maaad, was it fully comp or just third party you got?

A travel agency?

Where do you buy airline tickets then? A job agency ?

I just go direct to Norwich Union (now AXA). The HSBC broker were ok the one time I used them.

1. 40k-80k per year. 2. 300-500 dhs per week plus 200 dhs average for meal & drinks going out. 3. 1000 dhs per month depending on how often you call overseas. 4. Taxis usually safe. Don't use illegal ones at night, daytime ok (except for risk of fine). Sharjah more conservative than Dubai. Combi...

Royal & SunAlliance tel Abu Dhabi 02-6351800, Dubai 02-3029800 offer cat or dog insurance (don't know about other pets, nor cost or how good they are)

Bus X25 is an express one that doesn't stop at all stops (especially the one I was waiting at on Jumeirah Beach Road). New bus maps available at bus stations. rta.ae say the route map can be found on their site but I didn't have any luck. They also have a "journey planner" which I vaguely ...

Two years and 100 lessons wasn't enough then ?

This might be useful also - Dubai driving license.

Car lifting is against the law in this country. Not quite. The RTA claim to want to support car pooling but the authorities seem to have trouble distinguishing between private taxis (illegal) and car pools (not), fining friends and colleagues for giving each other lifts. As you say though, private ...

Repton Dubai - some info. Presumably they'll aim to be comparable to the UK Repton School which, whilst not quite Eton or Harrow, still rates as one of the better (and more expensive schools). Jeremey Clarkson is an old Reptonian if that's any guide to what they produce. I'd expect Repton Dubai to ...

RTA governs driving license rules in Dubai now, which is why some things seem to have changed (the rules probably haven't, but the RTA is more strict about implementing them). Other emirates still via traffic police. Usually driving licence comes from same emirate as your visa. Licence valid for all...

I know Jumeirah is popular for families, Singles also live in Jumeirah/Umm Suqeim in shared villas (and a couple of apartment blocks). -What is the climate like for Jews? Animosity is directed more at Israel than Jews. But don't advertise the fact and you won't have problems. How's your beak? -I he...

Oh how I miss those M&S sandwiches

The long list doesn't open for me

Here's a short list of employment agencies in Dubai

The employment visa is probably for you to enter the country, not a work permit - for which your original passport needs to be submitted. I don't think you need an NOC to back out of the job at this stage. It would be considerate to inform them though. If you sent original certificates, they may not...

^ian^ wrote:Nothing I could see was overly cheaper or a bargain.

Oh . I saw some cheaper stuff - admittedly last years models (clothes etc) - some info here Dubai Outlet Mall.

For cheap stuff there's also Dragonmart (but you get what you pay for...)

I am Married with a little girl. What do you think? I think that's lovely :). He is a scuba diving Instructor (but can also Labour for construction companies.) Would it be worth looking into me getting work at one of the International Schools in Dubai and my husband coming out on my visa.? Yes. Her...

I thought I read in the papers recently someone got pulled up for bringing in mechanical assistance? Maybe it was a job lot. I'd assume they show up clearly on the x-ray machines.
