Dubai Forums

The UAE is not an Islamic state? News to me. Dale might be right if they are now worried about losing their national identity. But I also cannot think of any place outside rural Africa where people chopped off each other's heads for food in 1958.

I sure as hell hope my former professors don't visit these forums.

And if no matter what to stuty, then which is cheapest price for year?

Up to 50,000 per year, unless you are a good/poor boy and get financial aid. THen it becomes cheaper

Keep in mind that everything is much more expensive now here. Rents are 25% to 100% more than 2 years ago, depending on how greedy the landlord is. Salaries have only gone up by only a little bit in most cases.

hi I am still on this topic, doing my research online for weeks now, but still have some questions. How do I tell a Porsche from being built with GCC specs and one that is not? Basically I would like a local Porsche, local that is to UAE, and not an import. Thanks Ben I guess one way to tell would ...

Move back to the UK? Ha, I just laughed so hard that I nearly got a nosebleed. Move back to a place where constant taxation, teenage pregnancy, knife crime, awful weather and the most over-rated and disappointing football team in the world are all we have to look forward to? The Doc would rather sc...

You're an idiot!

I guess one way to tell would be to ask for the early service history. If shopping from Awir Used Car Market, more often than not, their cars are imported and have no records. Thanks, so Awir Used Car Market is to be avoided? I was more looking for things like "Double radiator" or "t...

I am a Private Investigation Agency owner wanting to relocate in Dubai. I am just gaining information on the move. It seems that the market there has no reputable Investigators there... Thats where I come in... lol Hopefully I will be a permanant redisent and have a respectable business in Dubai. G...

Huh?

Christians and Hindus seem to like it here just fine.

Never knew all Muslims in Sri Lanka were Arabs. Would you like to start a new front on another war, considering you are fighting Tamils already?

Huh?

Can you find Bin Laden then? He's in Pakistan apparently. Has a beard. Usually seen with a rifle and a "My friends went to Guantanamo and all they got me was this lousy t-shirt" t-shirt. I doubt the CIA can even remember what he looks like ;) I think he just shaved and lives in a two-bedr...

no

Well I was merely trying to point out that obviously if you're of a different ethnic background (originally) than from from the country you hail from, then people could be mistaken for thinking someone is from somewhere else. And yes us Brits are having different mentalities these days, I for one a...

I dont know what is the right thing to do since I am just new. One of my officemates complained and he was in a bit of trouble. I am an engineer so i think...

Credit card machines would be a good idea, apart from the fact that yo can't pay by credit card at fule stations anymore - too much fraud. In the UK, you just rock up to the pump, put in as much as you want, then go in and pay, plus we do have card machines at the pumps aswell. My nightmare would b...

In short:

They flash. Ones that don't are off for now.
They monitor a car from 150m to judge speed. No averaging between cameras.

Police of a certain capital city torture arrested people, including teenagers, with electric shocks in interrogation. Happened to my bud's cousin.
