Hi There, What do you think one should bring to Dubai? I am trying to find out what to bring and what best to sell... Especially e.g. oven, dishwasher, washing mashine, dryer, etc. The trouble is, if you sell it at home you'll sell it under worth and have to by new ones. But taking it to Dubai might...

Hi, In the gold souk you (can) get the best prices but - as stated by others - it is a souk. You have to be careful (have a good look at what you are buying) and you must deal. In the shopping malls it might be easier if you are not used to arabic business behaviour. Also in July it will be very hot...

I suggest the following: Compare the prices here and there, then calculate how much you have for living (including living, car, etc.) now (or would have if you had a comparable job) and then calculate how much you would need here to keep your standard, accordingly. Add 10 to 15 percent. Then let the...

Hi, I realized that in Dubai all Schools teach only Fusha. But I am looking for an Arabic teacher who teaches me Gulf Arabic or at least Arabic that is really spoken. Please send me a pm. Recommendations of Schools that are not so expensive but have good teaching methods are also welcome. Thanks, gokm

Definitely Abu Dhabi. Dubai is artificial, Mickey Mouse land. Only Expats and strange people. Everyone wants only money and if you have none you're out. Everything is about Work and Have. AD is much more natural. Much greener. People are friendlier. That's my advice. According to your chances later ...
