- is it best to hold out for a while and does anyone know anything about predicted rental situation as we would like to rent for a few years until we move there for retirement.
As we understand it there is access to the beach for these apartments - does that mean that if we bought elsewhere there is no access to any other public beaches?
As it is a muslim country is it possible to buy wine and spirits from supermarkets for use in the home?
I would like to know if apartments have to be purchased in males name for application for residency or can it be female. Any help appreciated thanks Michael

and do you mind us asking what your experience in the Dubai market is?
you do not need to answer this of course, ours is very limited! Our idea is to ultimately reside there, have you an opinion about health care, standard of living etc. Do you know anything about tax situation on rentals for uk citizens. Thanks and kind regards Michael

I mean being located in front of the beach is really really great.... but would I pay so much for something that is too hyped up?
if i were you I would hang on to my money and wait till 2008 when there are more choices and with Dubai's vibrant property market I'm sure you can find something that suits your taste when the market matures.
to be honest... if you buy now, you would be buying at the height of the boom and hype.....which may or may not bust.
