This is the second snow fall in RAK since 2004. http://archive.gulfnews.com/nation/General/10278477.html "Ras Al Khaimah has plans to capitalise on the attractive climate and spectacular scenery of Jebel Jais by building a mountain resort and ski slope on top of the mountains. " It snowed...

Yeah, the Yaris could be a rental. There is also a typo in the 6-digit plate number you mentioned. Not too sure why such people even bother keeping pets.

ah! empty ?!!!!!!!!!!!! u certainly don't have experience in any bus stops and i c why a good plan was executed in such a stupid manner. sorry but dont travel by bus :D nor do i spend most of my time looking at the bus stop i.e in which manner the seats are layed, which stainless steel are they usi...

If you cross a red signal while driving on dubai roads, what is the fine? In some countries you may end up spending 48 hours in jail. How is it in Dubai? Cheers From the official rule book: Violation - Jumping a red light Fine - 800 bucks Black points - 8 Vehicle confiscated - 15 days ...which is o...

bastards like him should be burned alive slowly. dk, i suggest you send your post to 7days or gulf news to bring that case to light. it is definitely disturbing like the slashed dog case in satwa last year printed in gulf-news where the dog was purposedly hanged on the street and its stomach innard...

Kids here do that kind of stuff all the time, from a very young age. Compassion for animals isn't in the vocabularies of most Sub-conti/Arab parents. You should see the municipal abbatoir (the cow/goat slaughter place) during Eid. Kids as young as 5 (FIVE!!!) are jumping around happily watching the...

I didn't get it. I've seen the sharks at Dubai Mall, and they seem vegetarian. Never seen any of the fish eat any other.

Those English street kids should come here and become managers.

Was there a total eradication of Indians I am not aware of? Most of the Indians in Dubai are still there, sharing rooms and crowding parking areas.

My Indian buddy from Lamprell at JAFZA just got an "extended holiday" for a month, due to lack of clients. He says 30 Brits in management got fired.

Now that is serious because Lamprell is Oil Field related

The extended holiday is unpaid, by the way.

LOL @ Asians.

Quatroporte, you had better luck with the law because you know Arabic.

You signed up for these forums just to say that?

Rule no. 1 : NEVER PAY THE RECRUITMENT AGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The unthinkable freezing policy by banks is so insanely retarded.

Glad I don't live on loans.

It's just a formality for them, really.

Mayflower wrote:wat abt jobsindubai.com? anyone know how reliable this agency is?

hehe, you are good at picking agencies. That one is an even bigger and longer-running scam than these core concept newbies.

What exactly is your "Interest in Dubai"?

Come on uncle sage. You didn't notice yet that he plugs that website of his into every other post of his?

Never touch the stuff!

Have you seen what fish do in it!!!

Have you seen what labourers do in it?

they cancelled that law long time ago ..seems its coming back again

If you got any property wiht Emaar, you can easily get investor visa any time. It takes 15 to 20 working days.

Not since JANUARY 2008. They quietly stopped it.

i thought u quit

In my opinion young locals are the worse. I'd rather have an Indian driving 50 kph in the fast lane than some nutter weaving and out of traffic at 140. True. The rich kids think they're the best drivers in the world, right until they wrap the car around a pole or burn to death in public, in seeming...

bankruptcy ? how ? he told you everything is sold, they got the cash ..hellllooooooo

The cash went to the management's Bentley Fund.

well the remaining question is, what will happen to the unfortunate ppl who left or will leave Dubai ? I think they will face a worse situation else where! If you guys are impressed by the layoffs of Dubai's then check out the other cities, it is scary . I don't thing anyone is impressed by the lay...
