Oh good. I wasn't sure about that myself.

I have a uae driving license, which marks vehicle permited to drive as auto. Can I buy a manual car? I'd say you can buy one. Registering it might be awkward. I think getting stopped by the police would be a risk if they had a look at the car and saw manual. Having an accident is more likely to be ...

These days, getting across Dubai can be slower than travelling between emirates, depending on route. Al Ain to Jebel Ali could be relatively smooth - the Arabian Ranches and Green Community roundabouts are nightmares I think. Avoid them. I did the inter-emirate commute for a while and it was fine. M...

Government health card covers you for everything but in government hospitals, not private hospitals. People get private healthcare to get into more comfortable private hospitals, and for things like Medivac to other countries, healthcare when travelling. Government hospitals are less friendly, "...

Bonk and Scarlet judging from your comments it would seem you didnt take my post for the joke it was intended but perhaps believed it?mmm Well, you already answered that question in another topic ... Bonk your an idiot. That worries me.Do you also believe in UFOs and little green men? Oh no! You me...

When you say it covers you for everything, does that include pre-existing conditions? No for private care usually. Sorry, can't say for sure with government care. Could anyone point me to the official Dubai government's website on this health card program? try dohms.gov.ae or search for DOHMS (Depa...

What makes me sort of sad is that i worked really hard in year 12 so that i could get good marks to get into Pharmacy at Sydney uni in the first place, and i feel as if its going to waste. My dad's job was like an "all of a sudden event" So why aren't you going to Sydney college anyway? I...

. Make up your mind.

so they won't give me a temporary driver's license because of my Abu Dhabi visa. So if I go to Hatta/Oman border, that new visit visa will work? Anyone try this? Ok, I know I'm being lazy by not re-reading the whole thread but that sounds like something that could work. It's the sort of logic that ...

bonk wrote:Takes 3-4 hours total depending on queues

Sorry, that may not be very clear. I meant 3-4 hours round trip from Dubai, actual visa changing process is about 1 hour with all the stops.

Good luck .

Oh don't get me wrong i think i would much rather study in UAE than in Saudi. Ok, I'm a bit confused now. The choices were Saudi vs UAE, Sydney vs UAE, or Sydney vs Saudi? If choosing between Saudi and UAE I'd vote UAE no question. If between UAE and Sydney, Sydney probably gets my vote for educati...

Apparently, according to Alex the Augur.

I'm easy to spot - hairy carcass, cheesy grin, bright pink arse

My guess is a level of intelligence much greater than you have, genius .

Hello, more jobsindubai.com advertising?

jbalsemo, all you do is post about job websites, in the same way that those websites spam forums all over the internet.

Of course, if you really are looking for information, you could search the forums first, or start here: Job agencies in Dubai.

The only reason why I didn't post it initially was just to protect them in case they should actually exist where they claim to. And their telephone number as 91-2226601170 That's fair enough. But those details are immediately recognisable as either errors or fake. The obvious one is the incorrect c...

I was on holiday, visiting family

Ha ha, that's the same address Global Recruiters uses - a dodgy outfit.

A pet farm on the 18th floor? Excellent

Forget about them, it's almost certainly fake.

dubaidog wrote:Just curious if anyone else found their connection slow this afternoon?

Like eb sed. My DSL is always slow. No slower than usual today though.

but to be honest the country really seems to be full of surprises!;) The surprise is being able to get them over the counter without a prescription (or marriage certificate if you're wondering). You should be able to find one to suit you, and pharmacists are usually quite helpful and knowledgeable....

Remicharles1 wrote:what is the maternity leave in Dubai ? I have found different results from various websites.

45 days, depending on nationality. UAE women get longer. Here's more about UAE maternity leave (scroll about halfway down).

raidah wrote:so this is good place you say?

Yes, I think so. But I want to know if you (or anyone else) disagrees.

Allow 20-40 euros for Swift (?) transfer (maybe less depending on which bank)

Regent Palace? The one opposite the Burjaman center.

raidah wrote:r u telling me ur the one running the place?

No (look at my avatar, would you risk getting a haircut from me ?), but I know who does.

scubachick wrote:Can anyone suggest a bed mattress shop?

I got one at the Home Center. Was much better than the previous one, which I got from IKEA.

I've used dial-up in other countries that's way faster than my Etisalat DSL connection. My guess is the proxy throttles everything.
