You can sponsor your husband if you earn over a certain amount of money....my friend did it....I think the set limit is 7000 dhs or 9000 dhs per month and then you can do it....try checking with your embassy...at least you know it is do-able! Good Luck!

travellers cheques are hard work here...can only cash in some money exchanged...pain in the ass basically and yes there is a charge...do you need to use them? Most visa cards etc etc work here...i always tell my family not to bring travellers cheques cos too much trouble!
Dear Dubai Knight, I found your posts and the replies very interesting...seems to me there are lots of girls here going 'oh I can't find Mr Right' and loads of guys saying same thing- other way round of course. It's such a shame. I don't know what kinds of girls you and your friend have been dating ...
Dear Dubai Knight, thanks for your reply....I don't want to seem like the font of all knowledge hahahaha...I am just a"normal" person and have many "normal"single friends and am just going off experience...both out here and elsewhere. I know what you mean about the chivalrous thing- yes it is nice f...
Hi All, This is a really interesting chat- am enjoying seeing different views of opinion! Dubai Knight- I didn't really mean you would hand over the villa keys straight away- I was joking- I have a sense of humour hahahahha! Kanelli- I liked what you wrote- I don't fit into that stereotype....have a...
Dubai Knight- you have made me laugh so much now!! How did we get on to this- not like I am the dating guru being suddenly single myself yet again!!!!! You sound absolutely fine- like a nice decent bloke...just not met the right one yet- she's just round the next corner honest!!! Anyway platitudes a...
Hahhahahahah...the Paul Calfe quote was NOT supposed to be a chat up line....but if someone used it on me I would be on floor laughing!! In a good way of course! Not many girls would get it though!! The corner...you know the one....just round it...when you were a kid going on hols and your dad's dri...
Don't do it Knight- will only lead to trouble...wouldn't it be breaking the unwritten buddy code anyway?? You don't want sloppy seconds so to speak! Or to lose your best mate over it either!
If you have a ministry of health card you are covered in government hospitals...that's right isn't it folks? Only if you go private do the costs shoot up. I had an accident followed by super duper keyhole surgery and it cost me 200 dhs in total including 3 day stay in government hospital...it was fi...
Very interesting discussion! here's my 2dhs worth...not intended to cause offence just to enter into debate... Not all companies are the same you know...times are changing slowly slowly. The company I work for and it is one of the largest Emirati owned here- pays people based on education and experi...
This is a really interesting thread...and I am not going to complain about living here cos I love it- with all its up and downs. I have been driving here for 8 years- always keep calm...let all the craziness happen around me and keep eyes in the back of my head open. But in the last couple of weeks ...
It's good to talk about this girls....all women get stared at full stop! It doesn't matter if you are fully covered, in your tracksuit, dressed up to the nines, pregnant, with your kids....whatever!! I find a good tut seems to work on the starers along with an evil stare back...as for any further th...
well think it can be useful in this day and age everyone so busy and all that....had some success and some not! That's a whole other can of worms though! I agree with DK- you can lie about yourself but the one thing you can't hide is sense of humour and intelligence....so you have to build up a rada...
Goodbai- quote- 2 Young professional women who are fairly intrepid, tough, independent, free spirit sorts who have high standards and can spot a dickhead or saddo from a mile off (no reflection on any blokes who post on here... well, apart from the odd weirdo passing through of course ) that made me...
It is annoying as a woman though- if I get asked "psss.... pssss...how much" one more time I going to scream! I don't dress like one- even in business suit full covered I get asked!! It can be really intimidating sometimes. I feel like if I walked into a bar on my own that people would be ...
I felt it- I was on Pc and the whole building wobbled, my chair wobbled and the water sloshed in the toilets- thought I was going nuts until I read breaking news on net about an hour later.
Really strange feeling!
OK it's by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet and is called "having an average weekend" from their album "savvy Showstoppers"..............ah the power of google- I can really recommend it for any wonderments!
To find friends you have to go out into the real world and look for them....it is harder here cos everyone is so busy but no-one is going to come knocking on your doo- so out you go! Join a club- sports, social, arty, business networky thing- whatever and just get out there- screw up your courage- s...
Oh Gosh is it really that bad? is it the Welcare Hospital at knowledge Village? I have to go next week and needles are my phobia too....arrrggghhhhh! Will be on the floor in a dead faint- great!
