I am surprised that very few people have an understanding of real estate in general. Not enough questions being asked about maintenance and general up keep for the building they plan to live in or buying for investment. No questions asked of the quality of workmanship and material being used. Let al...

RedKite is asking himself the right questions for determining the market sentiment. He will start by analyzing who is the buyer, where is the financing coming from, and so on. He is right about the need for foreign buyers to absorb the high end luxurious properties, the local market will take some, ...

Here my 2 cents, If I were you I would first check with the UK court if you can take the child out of the UK or Ireland. If your child has its own passport and you have have already sole custody, you may be able to leave the country with him. I am not sure about that either. By getting the passport ...

Hi macjul, Yes I can take him out of the country with his passport as he is not on my own passport. With an affidavit from my solicitor, to say I have sole guardianship rights. He only gets a 4 year passport so I have had to go through this process 2 times. I would never and I would like to stress ...

Lets see here; the salaries of many employees will be cut including allowances for school and housing. Which means some expats have to send their families back home, to save money. At the same the demand for housing will shrink, cause they need smaller apartments to rent, same goes for cars, schools...

Most women I know of , dont care for big and strong, they care for tall, slim, maybe handsome , educated, responsible, cultured, good sense of humor, charming and serious personalities.

I hope that helps to answer the first person ' s question.

Biggest problem here is transparency and good reliable flow of information to be a justifiable good, sound businessman and/or consumer. For example the project Deira is on hold already for a while . At least since before Christmas. I am not blaming anybody here, but in the real world there shouldn t...

anything else would be a PR disaster for Dubai. Image the headlines across the world.
However, after a few years he may be paroled.

Red Kite, you seems to look for answers very hard. But you gave yourself the answers already in your previous posts. The party is over for now. It may or may not come back. You should know better than believing everyone who is on tv making fast talking assessments on some subjects which are highly s...

Kid, you seems to have access to good information to get those numbers.
I would start 3 months back, like October, but nevertheless a huge number,
if those are correct.
yes guys, not only less traffic, but goods and services will be more competitive.

driving responsible has something to do with maturity, education, mental development and leading a responsible, structured life. If you wake up noon time nothing to do, no worries other than making sure your gas tank is filled and the car keys are within reach, this country will have problems with t...

Bad Bank has not yet been approved, due to the public outcry of savings Wall Street ass, they in turn being so arrogant and ignorant by taking $20 billion bonuses despite running all the financial institutions into the ground. I myself will probably change my mind by thinking let start all over with...

good work, let me add the mother of all projects to the cancellation list:
Arabian Canal $ 50billion.

The last time I have to talked to Dubai residence people, they live in denial or still don t understand real estate especially those pathetic real estate idiots. I heard them talking live on Dubai eye. Just pathetic, incompetent. Dubai will become a city as any other city in the world. The rent will...

as lay offs and redundancies are sweeping through the world economies, Dubai will have or is having its fair share, but the double whammy will be felt due to the unique labor situation that they will have to leave the city, once they loose their jobs, reducing valued consumers and savings from the e...

story is still redundant crap. Kind of worthless info, even for the entertainment section.

There is one guy near defense intersection on SZR. He does groups and personal training. I doubt there will be anyone out there near AR. Otherwise check the net, there are several guys who are offering their services, I am not sure about their qualification. However, one Thai teacher in Bur Dubai I ...

Quality and maintenance cost will be an increasing issue in the future. For sure. Most building demand a high salary to live in them or cash payments. Question is: where are the buyers in the near future with enough or income or both to come to Dubai to revitalize the property market? I think in the...

tail scratching is not normal and has a great potential for total loss of a plane . It was sheer luck that the plane made it despite hitting objects while trying to get airborne. it was a new Airbus series with powerful engines, which normally can get speed and uplift rapidly under most circumstance...

dont want to sound redundant, but the fact is, the M.E is one the most dangerous countrry to drive a car in the world. Its one reason western families are careful to drive late afternoon and evenings when those guys are getting up and start driving in circles around town. It is also known fact that ...

another redundant topic, which is discussed way too often.
Its nothing new that in the UAE, in the Gulf in general has the most dangerous, hence reckless, out of control drivers:
Now everyone can discuss this forever: it wont change the facts.

Its about time making this place competitive for everyone, incl.
locals.

Emiratisation will never be successful with this unique system of
visa and sponsorship in place. By law they are always the boss.
Where is the need for the drive and search for excellence?

macjul

I think the real reason was, also a weak excuse, lack of funds to bail out his own family, which would have been a couple of thousand or more for new tickets and overstay fines. So he or they decided to let the authorities deal with the consequences of not being able to leave the country. In this ca...

Dubai has 4,5 million ppl living within their city limits? I highly doubt that.

I understand Bur Dubai is getting cheaper to live these days. Its not the Marina, but you got good access to everything else without hassle . Car wise, if you have cash savings I would check the black boards at the super markets or on line ads. same with furniture. Try auctions such as WWauctions wh...

to CA,
you also have learned how to negotiate and protect your interests - priceless.

TO SH: in my experience there are alot of people in Dubai of any nationalities could not make it in a competitive, western society. Nowadays you need to be educated, skilled, disciplined, focused and well mannered to be even moderatly successful. All characteristics many of the expats, as well as lo...

I don t know how long who live in Dubai, but what do you expect from low paid staff, untrained, unmotivated. Shopping you should do in your own country what most people do.
a) for lower price
b) latest models
c) better service
d) better warranty
of course it depends what is your home country.

caution here is the word: the markets today are the same as yesterday in terms of importance: innovation is the main drive and reason why they are still located where they are now. Being a hub today is not so easy as it used to be : Air traffic today can be handled almost exclusively non stop betwee...
