I have to agree with Liban on and am am quite surprised at salaries that are sometimes expected on these forums . Don't forget that Dubai is rapidly changing and so is the job market . The offer/demand in terms of opportunities is having a serious effect on packages on offer unless you are in a prof...

Breeze

I am not disagreeing with you on that indmetic at all. What I wrote was what I percieve as the reason why such expectations are out there. I totally agree that that shouldn't be a reason to be paid more as an expat. I think I did state what should and shouldn't be a reason for salary differences in ...

Folks, Whilst I've been waiting in the long /messy queues here at the Dept of naturalization / Residency , I noticed that people are asked to certify there marriage certs here at the foreign affairs dept (sorry not sure what the correct name for it is) . I think you're overcomplicating the process ,...

Just a quick clarification re vresidency / developper sponsorship or at least this is how Emaar does it at the moment I believe: Only immediate family of owner is sponsored . Children under 21 only are aponsored No sponsorship is allowed if owner or one of joint owners is already sponsored through h...

I flew with Emirate once for the 1st and last time from London . It was a HUGE disappointment , even thinking about it make me feel achy... I guess I fell in the trap of 'Oh they're the best in the world blalala' . No bloody way : it was the worst service I can remember. This is just one of them : I...

Get one from Spinneys , there is always someone looking for work . Check noticeboard ....Save yourself money and hassle . Isn't this coutry great ... Some of them even have their own visa mate. Oh btw i recommend Philippinas. Good luck .

Breeze

I am surprised RAK got good feedback form some of you guys. My experience with them was a bit of a disaster, they really did waste a lot of my valuable time. Also because of their not so knowlegeable staff we ended up opening wrong type of accounts for what we needed to achieve. I actually was one o...

Breeze

Any news at all from Damac ? Have I missed something folks ?!!

Breeze

Laydee, You will need to do the test here as your driving license is unfortunately not valid in the UAE. You'll need to take your home driving license with you to a local driving school , that way you will be exempt from the parking exam and you'll only need to go for some classes not the whole 20 I...

I've seen this in a forum before : if you open an offshore account and transfer that way you can transfer your repayments for free. Can anyone please correct me if this is not the case.

Folks, I'd appreciate it if anyone could recommend a good place in Dubai to install a video system in my car . If you have an idea of what I am looking at in terms of costs for a quality system pls let me know . Thanks in advance

Breeze

I guess the headrests option would be the most suitable for the kids. as to the rest I really have no idea as i am a true novice. I'd appreciate it if you could enlighten me as to what the single and double DIN means ... Tx

Breeze

gt mash : I prefer to have two screens on each headrest for ergonomy reasons . Any idea who can fit these and what the price would be for a good brand ? Tx xty: I actually have a portable one . I guess I am looking at something fix for the car at this stage. We usually play the same dvds anyway as m...

Breeze

Sorry , my mistake i meant one screen on each , that's two screens in total.

Breeze

Thanks guys . I'll get in touch with the people above and hope to get a good deal. I was hoping to go with an idea so that I don't get ripped off, I guess I just have to see what everyone's quote is.

Folks, I hope someone here is less confused than I am and can shed some light on the property registration part of the new law. I was told that will basically be charged a hefty 1.25 % of the property price for the privilege of stamping our name on it with the Dubai land registry dept ?!! My point i...

Breeze

Thank you all for your input. I think I was prepared to take the risk of fees going up if that's the only risk there is. I guess I'll just have to take it and hang on to my cash at this stage. After all I am only doing the land registery dept a favour as they must be working day and night at the mom...

Breeze

oops that sounds quite unfair to me . I'd be really pissed off if I pay the fees now and they come down in the future . I think the effect would be much worst than seeing them go up in the future. Anyway, it makes me more hopeful though .
Thanks gtmash

Breeze

or if you're no so hot on ethics , there are quite a few pirate merchants that will probably deliver them to your doorstep.

Breeze

At least they make compulsory to get a license here. I was told that half the population in Ireland drives without a license !!! can you believe ? But again they probably don't have half the accidents we have here which just shows that it's definitely a license to kill (not to drive) that you get he...

I haven't checked the site but I can tell you that $100K is not that unusual in Dubai for senior positions in HR if you're a very experienced HR Mgr (preferably with major multinational companies in the west). In fact they could get much more than that just try and convert Aed 45K monthly into dolla...

Folks, There's been a lot of complaints about companies wasting professional people's time . Either by making them go through a lenghty recruitment process just to drop the position all together or recruiting them , making them go through hell with possibly a huge move to Dubai and then let them go ...

Folks ,

Has anyone here used dentists at Jebel Ali hospital before and was you experience a good one ?? I am about to go there for some major work and would like to know before I commit

Thanking you...

I've had a look recently at the Forbes list of the world richest . I thought that there would be quite a few from this region at the top but to my surprise apart from price Alwaleed who's 13th there are no arabs in the top 50 ?!! Are you guys as surprised as i am ? the next arab is ranked 52 and the...

I think you can drive with any license for the first 12 months then you must take theory and pactical tests. That applies to all EU countries as far as I know.

Breeze

Everytime I hear something like ' don't buy the prices are silly...' it just makes me laugh. I came 3 yrs ago and that's the advice I got from my friends and colleagues. I wasn't new to the buy / sell ppty thing though , thank god otherwise I would be still sitting there like most of them now payig ...

Breeze

I think the Marina and even JBR are still good investments, watch the quality though some of them can be on the low side . I personally don't like the look of the JBR towers but I can see it become lively in the future. I also think somewhere near a metro station like the JLTs wouldn't be a bad idea...

Breeze

Arabian Ranches ...mmm....no I wouldn't go for that either. Traffic like hell and in the middle of nowhere..

Breeze

Alex1111. It will still feel like the middle of nowhere to me even with Dubailand or at least that's what it feels like when you're on the coast (ie: Marina, Jumeirah). You know Dubailand's effect will ware off very quickly it's only good when you're a tourist or visiting , when you're a resident yo...
