Ah, to be able to say I'll be going, to watch (other than the other big world tennis stars)...Maria Sharapova!

I read the website....although I'd much prefer the actual paper itself! Whenever I'm in Dubai, it's one of my "aims" if you like to read the local newspapers, and 7Days is my favourite. I regularly buy Gulf News, but there is so many useless (IMHO) supplements with it! Sage, much like you,...

Right, here's the situation: I'm currently in my final year in high school and, come June, I'll be finished all my exams and ready to go to Dubai for 3 months to (hopefully) earn some money before I become a tax dodging uni student in September. My questions are as follows: 1.) Is it possible for me...

I'm a British Passport holder, yep.

Does it cost to be added to a Residence visa? And if I'm on a residence visa will this not make it that little bit easier (if any) to get work?

Isn't there some sort of special conditions for 15-17 year olds? I've read on one of the Government websites in one of the law documents about this, although I am not sure whether this applies solely to Emirati's or to foreigners as well.

Wasn't there one in one of the local papers in the UAE that said:

"Girl Expelled From School for Being Stinky".

Hehe. When I heard about it, I couldn't stop laughing for ages. Not at the girl, just the choice of language.

It says on the website that this hopes to have 4,500 "fighters" attending to break the record, although searching YouTube I've seen a video from Atlanta, Georgia where 10,000 people have broken the record on October 6th 2006. I also can't find anything on it on the Guiness World Records si...

I can think of one...haha...the Dubains amongst us will probably flame me for this because they see it everyday....but there is the Burj al Arab. I hear it's nice on the inside but never went...I aint paying to get into a hotel then have to pay $50 for a cup of tea! Hehe. I bought a good book on my ...

You know that hotel that they are building on SZR (the tall thin blue one, hope that narrows it down)...is that apprently going to be the tallest hotel in the world, supassing the Burj al Arab by a mere 3-5 metres?

This has to be my longest period on DF so I think it's time to call it a night...12:12am.

Goodnight to those still on the forum, and good morning to those waking up to it.

It was sunny today actually I was able to go to the football to watch my team come from 3-0 down to take a draw 3-3...that ends out 16 game loss streak!

I checked Dubai Police's website (http://www.dubaipolice.gov.ae) and it appears that it is not possible for a Russian driving license to be changed to a UAE one. The list of accepted countries is listed here: http://www.dubaipolice.gov.ae/dp/english/e_services.jsp?Page=A26&Id=1095&num2=INF&a...

Is prison and deportation a risk?

My dad's passport ran out of pages and so he picked up a new one from the British Embassy. All that they have done is stuck the two together with the relevant security seals and removed the corners to render it void. His residence visa is in the old one and he has no problems.

I wanted to meet some people who were already based in Dubai. I Googled Dubai and DubaiForums.com and DubaiForum.co.uk came up.

Naturally, I opted to stay with the most popular of the two forums

At the moment it is looking like my salary will be between 25-27AED per month. From this I will pay rent and car rental (although the company will pay - it just comes out of the overall sum) You are aware that is is 7AED to the pound, so you're expecting to get paid approx. £3.50 a month? Might wan...

Just a thought, have you tried Dubai Libraries? I don't have a scoob about membership and that, you'd need to ask someone on here about it, or try the website http://www.libraries.ae Also, it's a long shot, but have you tried various Spinney's? They have a book section, although it is really limited...

I'm currently watching Dubai One's Emirates News from yesterday and it says there was a moderate (4.1 on the Richter scale) earthquake off the East coast of the UAE.

Does anyone know of any shops that will frame LP's as well as add a plaque along with them?
