I'm moving to Dubai from the USA next month and have been told that the dress code in the office is "business". Does this mean wool suits in Dubai?

I'm leaving for Dubai at the end of this month from the USA. I'm looking to buy a new laptop and a new digital camera. Does anyone have a recommendation on whether to purchase them here and bring them with me or to purchase them once I am in Dubai?

Is it better to get car insurance through the dealer or through a third party?

Can you recommend some brokers here in Dubai?

dualcitizen

That sounds like a great package to me....

Find out if you're sharing the apartment and how close it is to work.

I'd say it's high for ESL and I'd want them to provide airfare up front.

dualcitizen

You're looking at 20-30 minutes, depending on the day and traffic.

dualcitizen

good luck.

I recant.

It's taken me between 15 and 55 to do this in the past week.
