I've seen some posts about dance class but can't find what I'm looking for.
We're looking for a modern/hip-hop dance class in Dubai, particularly on weekends. Anyone knows?

I think those guys bought it because they just wanted a 4WD-looking thing to take them to work and back. They won't form groups. If not an offline group, at least an online group to share some information and tips, buying accessories, maintenance, etc. Hopefully & eventually it may become an of...

I understand some or most agents/owners ask for 12 months rent in advance, that is a lot of cash at 1800dhs/month to fork out. Is this generally negotiable? I think one year advance payment is mostly for high-rised/expensive apartments. Some others (low rise apts in developed areas) ask for 2/3/4 p...

Very easy, even they provide you instant credit cards (sometimes 3!) and ask if you'd like to have a loan. Simply give them passport copy with residence visa and employment/salary letter from company. Local bank is slightly better in terms of benefits, ATMs, and exchange rates (e.g. when transferrin...

First, absolutely.
Second, you think 45+ degrees temp with high humidity over 3-4 summer months is superb? I don't think so

It's a very demanding job and quite frankly most large companies couldn't do without these people as they hold everything together liasing ith all departments. I agree, the bosses can't do anything without them, but still PA job is apparently not appreciated at all in this country. If it all only t...

My wife will be with me and won't be working initially, so I'd like to choose somewhere that's easy for her to get out and about during the day too. This is one of the reason why I chose an apt in the city, proximity to almost anything. Important especially if your wife is alone (no kids) and not d...

No need for N or MIMO technology if you're only using it in your apt room. It's a lot expensive too. I have Netgear DG834G v3 (DSL modem + 4 port routers + secure wireless G + VPN + firewall + dynamic DNS) from Carrefour for about 260 AED (could be a little cheaper at Al Ain computer plaza in Bur Du...

I have found the cheapest possible way to transfer money is to buy a cheque from one of the exchange centres and then post it. Although it is certainly not a problem to transfer Bank to Bank, you will find that the Banks make a bundle from you with the exchange rates as well as the fees. Most of th...

Visited their training days at the stadium, got some pictures and autographs. But CURSE ADIDAS for being very unprofessional!!!

Two life-long dreams of my wife are to see northern lights and go cruising. Probably in few yeas ahead I'm thinking to get one. I thought why not combine both? I'd go for Alaska for the lights and take (I heard there's) a cruise line around Alaska down to some strait to British Columbia. Probably co...

I'd like to have a medium-sized drawing/logo airbrushed on my car (probably on machine cover). Anyone knows a good workshop and how much would it cost?

I'm thinking seriously now to buy an apartment, rather than spending money on increasing rent, moreover I think I'll stay in Dubai for few years ahead. As of current, which developments do you know that offer: * in Dubai (I don't want to commute to DIC from Ajman/RAK!) * budget <1 million (financing...

What is good about this place apart from the usual - Tax Free, the Malls and the good weather ? What's good about tax free if in general the prices are higher, living cost are higher, and ultimately the rent is higher than other countries with tax (VAT/income)? The only things cheaper are car and g...

You will struggle to find a 2 bed for 1 million near DIC. You will not be able to partition, all developments have clauses concerning structural alterations or major works within a development.

A small shop inside (at the back) Al Attar shopping centre in Karama sells second-hand original DVDs, CDs, PS2 discs, XBOX discs, PC game discs. Apart from selling second-hand gadgets (mobiles, cameras) & electronics (turntables & audio decks).

Do you know if it is allowed to have a babysitter cum maid (most probably female) living full time (separate room) with a single working parent (male with one child)?

xty

In that case, how about the babysitter's visa will be sponsored fully by him (possible?), she stays elsewhere nearby (bedspace/room share with others), every morning she comes to take care the house & child (after school), then leaves in the evening until he's back from office?

xty

Some banks check if there's no activity within few months (e.g. 6-12 months) on the account then they will inactivate it regardless of there's money or not. Check with your bank.

xty

What is the procedure, costs, visa type to sponsor a babysitter? One option is to bring from home country, the other is to employ (visa transfer) from here (from other sponsor or agent).

xty

I know thousands of Dubai expats do this (employing full/part time maids/babysitters) but the concern is about the legality & possibility of self-sponsoring a maid (female) by single parent (male). And I don't think that many in Dubai.

A friend of mine asked if there's a support group in Dubai related with family, marriage, and child issues. They went to a counseling once but thought that they need more people to talk to overcome their depression. Any info?

Friend of mine (both non-muslims) went to Dubai court for filing a divorce (wife cheated). They went for counseling section twice for feasibility, required before filing to the court. It means that it's possible to file a divorce here even the marriage was not here and both are non-muslims. Before g...
