You'll get a midsize or better for that much, depending on where you shop.

i am going to send all the papers to 7 days... maybe they will do a story on dubai property-thugs :D There was a story in Gulf News 2 months ago, about extra charges, since a lot of people complained. Not that it made the charges disappear. Be aware though that some agents add on their own BS "...

I have visited several times over the years and am getting frustrated because It's taking to long to get work and relocate!

I desperately want to join you all and SOON!!!!!

I guess the worldwide city-of-gold ad facade is working.

Only if they know. Normally they won't look for it.

nuzbim wrote:thanks. in that case how much do infiniti or mercedes run? like a FX35 or G35 or CLK 500?

anyone know?

Heh, I wouldn't know. Not cars that most places advertise.

When I deal with government departments, it usually wastes my whole day. I am wondering how people who work regular jobs get out to do official stuff. Are your bosses that lenient? At least many deps are now open on Saturdays for people who might be free on that day.

Good luck. I am currently being jerked around the DEWA head office trying to get my security deposit back. They made a completely inaccurate final bill for me, and no one wants to take responsibility.

I think every 5-star here has some sort of ballroom. Emirates Towers, Murooj Rotana, Madinat Jumeirah, etc. Just pick n choose.

Wow. Happens to me too.

if they do that to me i would say thank you, and let the guy know its not happening :) Okay, I got my sheet done. At the DEWA HQ, hall 3 is where everything is supposed to be done, where the local girls are sitting at numbered desks. If there are issues, bug the busy Indian/Paki guys in hall/room 2...

Do companies here really go to court to enforce these clauses. To me, most companies here appear to be terribly lazy and stingy. I know people who jump from company to company (some even NMC), taking client contacts with them, and I keep asking why the hell they aren't banned yet. When I mention thi...

Two-wheeled vehicles are charged tolls also - maybe just motorcycles... More about Salik

What about pedestrians?

Buying a freehold property entitles you to a residence visa, renewable every 3 years for the next 99 years. However, the property has to be complete and not under construction to receive the visa. On top of all this, you cannot work on that visa. Once you get work, you have to transfer to the compan...

Tatweer actually built the hoarding... they were always going to cut the trees down. Unfortunate, but I guess one could say easily compensated by the number of trees they will be installing in Dubailand. Of course, most people fail to see the big picture on that one. Cue Chocoholic to create a peti...

Will have a wander around some of the 5 star hotels this w/e, so if you see me a-flappin around, just waddle up and say "hi" ! Already tried the Medinat and their prices are just a p155-take. 60 quid a head PER HOUR for nibbles and soft drinks ??? Might be ok if I was Sheikh Goose, I supp...

Who do call to have your old non-working appliances, such as washing machines, refrigerators, etc to be hauled away to the dumpster or wherever?

I think that's the illegal way of doing it? I have to get it down from the flat too.

I think that's the illegal way of doing it? I have to get it down from the flat too. I have no idea if it's illegal or not. Else call those second hand or appliance maintenance shops, they'd be happy to collect. At least they can use some parts. I'm thinking of that. The problem is the last place I...

It might be worthwhile to sell the car. Volvo parts are hard to come by here. The dealer is killer and I've never come across any non-official Volvo parts supplier here. And forget about finding scrap Volvos here. It could cost you more to keep it running here.

Dubai is a large geographic area. The school that you can put your children will be largely influenced by where you live. With the school situation in Dubai at the moment, it may be better for you to look at schools first, before you commit to living in an area far way from your childrens schooling...
