Hi Guys
Can someone kindly tell me how much i can expect to pay for a single bedroom flat in Dubai? Preferably Bur Dubai

it does not need to be state of the art - just an average flat which is clean with basic amenities....

Thanks for your help

Guys
Im British Asian, just been offered a Job in Dubai for 13000 AED per month.

Considering the cost of living....Car costs etc...is that a good deal?

What should a British Asian expect?

Cheers guys

I told my potential Arab Employer that i cannot accept this offer.... and therefore have to reject this..... funnily enough... he doubled it. And also offered an AUDI A8 as a company Car.. How furtunes change eh? So.... now the pack...

What kind of girls are guys normally attracted to? I know this differs from from a guy to guy so you guys share your thoughts and ideas with us. Are you attracted to the shy, nice, lovely, obedient, angelic, predictable type or the daredevil, straightforward, mad, impulsive, deviant type...or the i...

Hey there Anyone recommend any good Indian restaurants to eat in Dubai? Preferably Bur Dubai Area? Being an exLondoner in Dubai, i have found that the Indian Restaurants here are not what i expected. So far have tried all the ones mentioned in this thread - but still feels like something is missing...

Speaking to my g/f on the phone usually makes me fall asleep quite quickly

Hi all Not sure if this has been covered before, but i thought i would anyway. Dubai, like every other major city has blatant racism. Exept in more major cities there are complaints commissions with proper procedures. Is there such thing in Dubai and if yes, has it been known to bring any success? O...

All Would like to thank you for your comments. My original post was not to cause offence or controversy, but to merely ask the question that if there was a process someone could follow to report racial discrimination. I can see this has resulted in a few upset comments from the local population, but...

The annual poll by the Center for the Struggle Against Racism shows that these are not isolated views. The poll found that 68% of Israeli Jews would refuse to live in the same building as an Arab (the other 31% would like to nuke) :evil4: :lol: Yes, but those 68 % may also refuse if that was a Brit...

If the Taliban is becoming popular, then everyone should pull out. Let the people live under the Taliban again. I'm sure the women especially like the idea of staying at home in their Burkhas, and the little girls can stop going to school. Also, the Taliban can continue to destroy cultural artifact...

valkyrie - at the time of the invasion of Afghanistan my view was that an oppressive regime was being over-thrown. A regime that was suppressing the rights of it's population and doing it in the name of Islam. This was the information that came to me via the media - and I still maintain this view o...

It is sinful how some of you have made us American's feel. I do not see American's bashing people on here. It is getting really old, and it is making me really afraid to even be in this country. If you changed the above to replace American's with Muslims, you present a picture of many Muslims in US...

For those still not aware of the Rights abuses it seems, read about the bit on UAE.

Thanks

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5346430.stm Holy crap! bad publicity! Good Link Sniper. When i wanted to discuss Racism in Dubai, i was attacked and told that there are far worse places with worse things by some locals. What do those same locals think about this story then? Let me guess, a c...

I dont' care if I get flamed for this, I'm going to say it anyway! It was not the Pope's opinion, he was quoting from another text, rightly or wrongly. However the reaction from the Islamic world is once angain nothing more than ridiculous, with threats to kill the Pope, down with the Vatican etc e...

I personally think Muslims should attempt to at least prove him wrong, and show the world they're just as good (or better) at sowing the seeds of love and friendship as they are at sowing seeds of hate . Ian, With all due respect why does a Religion which has been around for 1400 years, has the pea...

Man, i know that this is coming really from a good intention, but who is going to make happen. the media?!! For more than 1400 years muslims nations have proven that, and our book talk about it since that time. and now .. out of the blue we start to become the worst nations, well.. its really our f...

Thirdly, I have already said that if the Afghanistani people want the Taleban back, then Canadian forces should definitely pull out - Sorry for being difficult Kanelli , but last i remember you made a very cynical comment about the afghans wanting the taleiban back. "If the Taliban is becoming...

Actually, it is hard to define because people's beliefs can sit on a continuum from none at all to very extreme. In general, moderate means that they look for both sides to the story, are flexible and respectful of other's people's faiths or people of their own faith who practise it to a different ...

For me to decide... ? What, are you now taking me for the US government? :lol: If you don't like my definition, then why don't you offer one up? Or are you like one of the other posters who likes separate groups into only good and bad? Now Now, you cannot go generalising about all who question the ...

Probably totally off topic but where have you been. It's all been left to poor Kanelli (in the forum) to deal with the nonsense. I've been working like a donkey (or acting like one if you ask around). Good to see you are back to inject some "sense". One man's sense is another BS. same app...

Hmmmm interesting topic.

most of the arabs ive met are gay.
The ones which were not, were in London... and they fit your stereotype, Paranoid.
