We have just bought a studio apartment in International City. Hope we have done the right thing? It will be ready at the end of next year. Just wondered if anyone has an opinion on buying here or does anyone know how the building is coming along? Has anyone else bought an apartment here? If so, I wo...

Hi, we have just bought an apartmrent in Dubai, just to use for holidays at present,but, maybe in the future might consider moving there. I was considering learning arabic??

Hi, I bought on International City 2 years ago just before they started building. I have bought a studio in "Persia" and i was out at Dubai on holiday last month and we were taken and shown our apartment. I was very impressed, especially the one-bedroom ones as they even had a small balcon...

Keith, at the moment we have not decided. It is mainly going to be for our own use and lots of family and friends are already asking about going to it, but I suppose if the opportunity arose to rent it out then we probably will. I just absolutely love Dubai and the thought of having our own place to...

I have just had notice that my studio apartment is now completed and the keys will soon be ready to be handed over to me I have to go over for the handover process and was hoping to get it furnished at the same time depending if i have time. Even if I have time to go over and choose furniture, does ...

My apartment is finally ready so I will need to go over to buy furniture for it. I would like to furnish it in a traditional arab theme but although I want it to look nice, at the same time I don't want to spend too much money on it as we may rent it out if we get the chance. It will be mostly ourse...

Help! I am needing to go over to Dubai to get my studio apartment handed over to me and to collect the keys, but unfortunately I have very little time to spend over there so I had hoped to maybe buy some of my furniture here on line from the UK and arrange delivery when I am over. I can go and buy t...

I heard that Pink is playing in Dubai in September. That is all the info I could
find so wondered if anyone had any more info re exact dates and venue etc.
Cheers.

maryjo

are you looking for furnished or unfurnished and what type of apartment are you looking for....studio, one bedroom etc?

maryjo

I wish I was there at that time, but unfortunately we don't arrive until 15th. I cannot believe we are just gonna miss it.
Hey maybe she will reschedule just for me!!!!!

maryjo

yes, that would be good to get everyone from I.C. to communicate through here.I have a studio in "persia" but although my keys have been handed over I have not been able to go over yet. My apartment has ctually been rented ourt for a month but is vacant again. Hopefully I can get over soon...

We are going to be staying in Dubai during Ramadan and wondered if you could tell us what restrictions will be at the hotels during the day? We are staying at the Burj Al Arab for 3 nights then 5 nights at Al maha. Will we still be served soft drinks and water at the pools and beach during the day? ...

maryjo

thanks Fayz, but does anyone have anymore specific info? Do they serve water and soft drinks at the beach at Burj Al Arab and Al Qasr? If they don't.....surely the beaches are going to be very empty at this time as no-one could survive the heat of the beach without having a drink!!!

maryjo

I wondered if anyone can tell me how much,if any, of Dubailand is completed and is any of it open to the public yet? Is there any of it due to open in the near future?Any info would be great.
Cheers.

maryjo

I did go into that website but could not find details about what has been completed already. Have I been looking in the wrong place?
Thanks

Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply. Just a quick reply to your comment though, about everyone on this forum being "working class" and therefore could not afford to stay at The Burj!!!!! Well, I am working class!!! In fact, I work full time as a staff nurse as well as working part time in a sma...

maryjo

Thanks Hamadl,
much appreciated. As long as we can have water to drink at the pool or beach that will be fine. We don't normally drink alcohol until the evening anyway.

I wondered how easy,or difficult, it is to get a nursing post in Dubai? I am a senior staff nurse here in the UK and wondered if anyone could give me more information on the best way to get information about perhaps working in UAE. I had expected they would need people who spoke Arabic to work in th...

maryjo

Thank you so much for your replies. I didn't realise the salary would be as low as that. So is that the salary for trained nurses and would the salary likely to be higher than that, the more years experience you have? Would you need to apply to an agency first or is there a possibility of writing to...
