Also how much will be a 1 BHK in JBR?

Any inputs will be highly appreciated..

My budget is max 100K..

Hi New in Dubai. So trying to get an opinion from the veterans over here.. I've been trying to plan my new years eve. Want to spend some quality time in a good place (wine & dine) with my partner. However bit confused about what option to consider? Came across some desert parties orgainized by s...

xdude

all these discussions have left me slightly confused... ;) Lemme ask a simple question I'm a non muslim resident expat in dubai. I do not have liquor permit. If i buy 4 ltrs of alcohol at the airport duty free, am i legally allowed to keep & consume the liquor at my home in dubai? wooof!! cheers!

xdude

howz this club? never been there..thinking of visiting for a while now..
new years eve seems to be a good idea to visit there..

cheers!

xdude

someone told me tht if i've purchased the alcohol from the dutyfree & kep the receipts, its ok to keep the liquor at home,..ehh!

they make it so complicated..

Interesting debate going on guys.. However i firmly believe that the real estate market is bound to go down.. for 2 reasons 1. there is a limit to which the buyers are ready to pay.. at some point even though the investors are going to be bit cautious as the relative return is going to be much lower...

xdude

mate.. don't want to discourage you!! but you should negotiate for a better bargain.. I've moved to dubai 6 months back.. n this city is far too expensive.. esp. housing.. (of course depending upon where you choose to live..).. but even if u choose a nice 1 BHK smewhere in greens/marina/jbr, it will...

Does anyone know if it is possible to find a car with a driver for a rent on a monthly basis who can drive me around where ever i wish to..not the official cab..it far too expensive if rented for a longer period.. I've seen these guys who pick up n drop ppl frm some areas.. marina/greens./.. Just tr...

Hi I've been trying to get a decent maid service in Greens.. any one knows a good one.. most of the agencies seem to have min 4hrs of service criteria..which is not really required for me.. 40dh / hr sounds a bit expensive... I get to see these little pieces of papers slipped thro' my door by some m...

I'm more amazed by your ability to find the nationality of the dude @ 160kmph..

To be honest, you will struggle to live a good lifestyle with this salary.. 1BHK apt in Greens / Marina / JBR wth todays market rate will cost you no less than 130K. You might have to settle for places like International city which is a bit crap area.. And believe me, you would be expected to pay th...

xdude

have they offered a comprehensive health insurance? do you have a family?
Still the salary is not good enough for you to make this move..
You are better off in India...
With no housing n no transporation (u woun't get a car license for 1 year), you will struggle to survive in dubai..

With Oil at $40 and all the expats out, it doesn't take much time for the hot money (oops! the investments) to move out of the country..

No reason to be happy abt the real estate fall though.. Even I was waiting for it to fall.. However we must understand that Dubai economy was primarily driven br real estate & tourism. With the kind of crash that is visible in these two sectors, it will have ripple effects in the other sectors o...

You can pay in 2 cheques if thats gives any comfort!

But if you agree to pay one cheque, you can negotiate a bit.. I did pay in one cheque and managed to reduce the rent by 7-8k..

Not sure now though.. as the rents should start falling soon..

you don't need to do anything wrong..its just too much of a hassle for a tourist who wants to visit dubai for 4 days...
you can always take this high moral ground..but got to see the practical side of it..
