Well, that might be true. I've also heard the streets are paved with gold. (That is if the street is paved at all).

Let me get one thing straight - why do you wish to come to Dubai?

You may ask if I am Arabian, and I will tell you that you should read back earlier in the thread. Oh, don't worry about the drinking, I hear they shoot you on sight if you even think about having a drink. (If Liban had his way they would).

There's a lot of things you might 'hear' about Dubai. I was in the same position once, and I'm still finding my feet here, after setting my sights on the UAE several months ago. Use this forum to your advantage and trust the advice that people give you.

The reason is becuase I want the change, the culture and way of life interests me. The general way of life. Oh living in a city where you can enjoy peace from the violence/crap like out here. No drunks about all the time hehe!! I do know how old you have to be to drink. Why is it legal in a muslim sate anyway? I know someone who lives on the Arabian ranches who moved out some years ago with his wife and kids and is very happy. I haven't spoken to his mother yet. She lives here, but I have arranged to talk to her about what he did

Considering Arabian Ranches was only opened for occupancy at the begining of 2005, your friend is exagerating when stating "some years ago"

The UAE has many great places to visit, however, in my opinion, only one great place to live - DUBAI
