Dubai Forums

Hotels, Travel Agents, Airlines can get you a tourist visa.
A visit visa is something different - friend can get one, or company. See Dubai visas for more.

When looking for jobs in Dubai , you should not pay any recruitment agency fee (although maybe they can charge you for writing a CV or other services). A website not in the UAE may get away with charging fees but it wouldn't turn me on. Here's a list of Dubai employment agencies and information that...

Stay in a hotel with courts?

Some of the parks in Dubai have them. Safa park is 20-30 minutes drive from DIC but courts may be busy.

Try Geant in Ibn Battuta Mall, or Ace Hardware (SZ Road, or Festival City), or Speedex (SZ Rd).

Just like that. the cheek!

Indeed! You'd expect an invite to their house. I never reply unless I get that at least .

and i want to make the papework on my own I'm not sure you can for a tourist visa. I think you have to go through a company. Perhaps someone else knows better? I've obtained visas for visitors through travel companies (for a 500 dh fee) in the past, I think they were tourist visas, not visit visas....

Probably Jan-Feb.

Are you talking about Dubai Academic City (30-40 mins drive give or take an hour if you get stuck in traffic), or Knowledge Village (almost walking distance - allow 5-10 min drive and 30 mins to find a car park)?

I saw an ad offering over 4k USD monthly, plus airfare, housing, health insurance, and paid vacations for teaching positions. Sounds like the packages offered by Global Recruiters. They advertise positions for places no one has ever heard of, like... Deira Homeland School Atika Language School Zafi...

No. But if you want to be sure, have a return ticket - they're usually cheaper than one way?

bonk, are these filters effective? Don't know, my hair still falls out :wink: I'm sorry if I sound ignorant, but I am interested to know what difference they make to the quality of water? Don't know. Water quality fine for drinking anyway. Also, are these the types that can be attached to the showe...

Your airline can't do it?

Leaving the site name in the photo is helpful

UAEMINISTRYOFLABOUR.TK

Ha ha, I think that's a Global Recruiters effort. All they've done is get a free domain name from Tokelau Islands (.tk) and frame the real MOL website.

It's either the same as, or similar to, a trick I saw them use a while ago.

Marina a good place, but could be traffic problems to DAC. International City closer, cheaper, but much lower standard. Al Barsha another possibility.

I don't know of any accommodation in the DAC area available yet.

How did you do that? I paid a plumber. He drilled holes in the wall, installed the filter, disconnected the shower pipe and screwed it into the filter, and a second hose to the water supply. Looked like a PITA operation... It would really help me out if you could take a picture for me You're gonna ...

Wow

Let me guess... that's not where you take showers? Ah, I thought it was very believable :). http://www.sosafe.net/products/images/SFHCU.jpg Same as what I have. Top two holes for wall mounting (you'll probably need a concrete drill, and those plastic bits that expand when you put screw in). Hoses g...

Water filters don't reverse the aging process . What I mean is I can't tell if they slow it down.

Is this the one that's available in Carrefour / Geant?

Yes, when I bought it.

I've seen several threads on Dubai Forums talking about jobsindubai.com. Mostly critical. There's press reports and other blogs/forums saying much the same. You don't strike me as a newbie at dubaiforums so I'm surprised you're asking. Or maybe you're promoting them? You're using the same tricks as ...

Have you checked out www.dubailook.com ?

1. 1000 (photocopier operator) - 25,000 dhs per month (PA to CEO of large company) 2. 100k-150k per year + 10-20k to buy furniture at IKEA/Carrefour 3. 300-500 dhs per month 4. 500-1500 dhs per month (depending on how much caviar you eat) 5. 5-10 dhs for very short trip, 200 dhs to Abu Dhabi 6. 1.50...

If after doing so, and you think I've still got an agenda to push, well I guess you're just a moron. That's quite complimentary compared to some of the things I've been called. Thanks :). I don't know if you've got an agenda to push. It doesn't matter. You are still employing the same promotional t...

Could be a false alarm. Sorry . The page that was blocked is accessible now for me.

Maybe related to ships cutting internet cables in the region?

Some clarification of jobsindubai system of marketing. 1. jobsindubai.com representative will post their link and a question in a forum about "Jobs in Dubai", asking if they are a legit company. 2. Other forum members respond saying they're a scam etc. 3. jobsindubai.com representative the...

There are reports that Dubai will try for the 2020 Olympic Games. Sports City property will be in demand if that happens.

Its not really THAT safe here is it? If a few expats tut-tutting over one peeping tom is the worst that happens to EW forumers, then Dubai is still a remarkably safe place, especially for a city of 1.5 million people. It's not quite that safe though - read the court reports in the press for the mor...

You must be working for them then.

Ha ha. Very good .

And since you reposted the links, and the facebook ones, I guess you're working there too ?
