Hi there. Is this apartment still available (doubt it but thought I'd check). Will need an apartment an a year long lease, starting 1 August, 2007. We're a couple, no kids. Where exactly is the apartment located?

Can anyone help with the following questions as well: What are good residential areas close to SZR? Looking for a 2BR apartment for about AED 110,000 annually.

out of curiousity... what's your package like???

syiem

well, I've read through the numerous posts on this forum as well as on other sites and have also spoken to a couple of people living in Dubai on similar packages. The common view is that it is a comfortable package and is enough for two people to live reasonably well. At the end of it, how much you ...

Shortlisting potential places to live in Dubai and thinking of Satwa, since it seems to be very close to SZR. Any thoughts of any decent apartments in the area, rents for an unfurnished 2BR and availability of domestic part time help? Cheers!

Thanks gtmash. Not too familiar with Dubai. How long do you think it would take to get to Emirates Towers from International City? How's the traffic situation? Quite a few rental options avilable in International City and seriosuly considering it.

Thanks gtmash. Very useful post. Will definitely consider the option of renting an apartment there.

I have a Sharjah entry visa and believe that once I enter the UAE, I will get a residence via from Sharjah. Since my job is in Dubai, I was wondring what the implcations of having a Sharjah visa, while workng and livin gin Dubai are? Can I get a driving license in Dubai even though I have a Sharjah ...

syiem

Thanks so much. I will have a Sharjah residence visa. Does that create any issue with getting a driving licence in Dubai?

syiem

At the moment I have a Sharjah entry visa. What I have been told is that once I arrive in Dubai, I will have to go to Sharjah, for my medicals, after which I will get my employment visa (also from Sharjah). My office is in Dubai.

Can I drive in Dubai with a Sharjah license? I believe there is some way to tranfer the Sharjah license to Dubai and get a Dubai driving license. Any idea?

syiem

Thanks folks. Getting a Dubai residence visa is out. I'm stuck with the Sharjah residence visa... How easy/difficult is it to get a Sharjah driving license? Is it the same procedure as Dubai? I read somewhere that if you have a residence visa of some other Emirate, you can get permssion to take the ...

syiem

Well, yes. they have offices in Dubai and Sharjah, so I guess the Sharjah office would have processed my visa.

syiem

So there is no way of getting a Dubai driving license with a Sharjah work permit?

syiem

Thanks folks. Useful advice. Debating between looking for a place in Satwa or Mankhool/Lamcy area. Satwa would be closer to work but not too sure abiut the area. Any thoughts?

syiem

Folks, have a peculiar problem and any help would be greatly appreciated (as always). I am arriving in Dubai next week to join work there. Plan was to have my residence visa (from Sharjah) in place and then sponsor my wife. In the meantime, my wife has been looking for a job as well and a company ba...

We're both Indian.

syiem

thanks jeevan. should work. also, since I have a sharjah visa (but work in Dubai) and if she gets the job, her employer will be in Dubai, does it make sense for her to get her employer to sponsor her visa or for me to sponsor her visa and she can then work on it?

syiem

good point dbxsoul. Problem is that wife's dubai travel date is fixed and I may not be able to get her residence visa organised by then. so would be best to let the company arranging her travel sponsor her visit visa as well. Once she exits Dubai after her meeting, I will start processing her reside...

Wondering if anyone knows where you can get a bus from Dubai to Sharjah and back? Currently staying on SZR, very close to the World Trade Center, so any bus stop close by where you can get a bus to Sharjah would be great! Also, where does one get a bus back from Sharjah to Dubai?

syiem

I just moved to Dubai 2 weeks ago and have rented a 2RR apartment near Lamcy Plaza, which seems pretty central to me, for 130k (chiller is included). Seems to be the going rate for any decent 2bed.

syiem

It's the same thing. It's called "demand" because its payable on demand when presented.

syiem

Need some help folks. Been going crazy trying to find some simple, straight line and AFFORDABLE sofas. Everything we've seen is really bulky, ornate and EXPENSIVE. Was wondering if anyone has any recommendations of where we should look in Dubai for modern, straight line sofas, preferably upholstered...
