No, they need a copy of all your certificates. I don't think the originals are required, well, not for education. Maybe for marriage, birth cert etc.

If I know I wouldn't be posting here would I? Besides new models keep coming out, fast these days, its so hard to keep track. So if you have so much experience why don't you give your 2 cents worth instead of just "it looks awful" remark? :shock: If you keep waiting for new models to stop...

Oh, sorry. You asked for opinions, well you got mine: I think it looks pants. I am not an SUV/4x4 person, but the Honda I think is ugly.

Murano/FX35 are by far better looking SUV's, but that is MY OPINION.

Also, what is your budget, that would also be a great help.

You defo rattled someones cage with your article. Well done.

Thanks for your constructive comments :lol: I have narrowed down to the Escape & CRV (yes I am not a SUV person either but I am in Dubai and I do need to go to sites and I don't want a big car) They are about the same price ie below 100k. Agree on Murano, I like it as well. Why not chuck in Ran...

Correct, however, down in Abu Dhabi, 1 cheque is the norm, not the exception.

The 2 places where you would spend some time would be

1. At the Greens Exit
2. Maybe while crossing the creek!!

Try living in Deira and travelling to Abu Dhabi!

hi, all. speaking of dress code: i am a female, and i'm wondering if the dress code in dubai is "strict", like: do they allow females to wear sleeveless or spaghetti-strapped dresses/blouses there? or figure-hugging jeans? i'll be there next month and i'd sure appreciate knowing what kind...

I'm off to see it this weekend. One of the movies I have been looking forward to seeing.

no rudeboy, I really, really do not want to read what happens, so stop being a jerk.

how about i don't read this thread anymore, then you can type what the hell you like, cos I won't read it!

I saw a poster at my local Spinneys with two absolutely adorable 7 month old kittens (siblings) that need a home desperately or they will be put to sleep. In the picture the cats have their arms around each other and they are so cute! They are slim, Asian style cats like we see a lot of here, and t...

Depends on what car you have and what parts you are looking for. 1000 Dunes and Performance are probs the best. Also, Sub-Zero has some damn good stuff available. Pick up a copy of Auto-trader or other UAE car mags. A lot of them advertise around. There are 100's in Sharjah, but you take the risk. T...

If you can, get a copy of the Autotrader for UAE. Thye advertise a lot in there.

If not, then google is your best bet.

Well, went to see movie yesterday. Not a bad subject but would loved to have seen a bit more about the culture and stuff like that. Pretty similar to Braveheart and "the Gibson yank movie". Good entertaining stuff, lots of blood and gore = awesome, women were fit and attractive (exscept fo...

Thats the problem with sequels, they never quiet get to the same level as the first movie.

RIP big man,

however, I was never a fan of his, have to admit. Its just not my kind of music.

Its also easier to say NO, than it is to say YES.

If it is nearly same ther eis no point to move to Dubai

Why is this a big decision if you decide to move to Dubai or not? Seems odd to me.

I went for a walk yesterday from my house in the Lakes to Mall of the Emirates and had a very strange experience. In total on the way there and back, 3 cars stopped to “offer me a lift” home. I’ve heard about the generosity of the locals but they seemed a mix of nationalities (I wasn’t hanging arou...

As you are renting the car, the rental company will get the ticket, if one was issued. However, in your case, it would appear that you did not. Here in the UAE, you do not know what tickets you have got until you go and re-register your car. As some have said above, you can check on-line at the link...

down2earth, Couple of pointers for you: 1)Search this forum to get a general idea of cost of living (much of it will be Dubai, wheras you could be in Sharjah, which may be slightly cheaper) 2) Schooling - I take it this has to be paid for by you? 3) Any bonuses or gratuity? 4) Your salary here will ...

It would help if they told you what the "black points" are to be awarded for, especially as we are only 4 days away from it being implemented.

They do sell them in Dubai, but when you buy the car it does not come with a "stealership" warranty.

Think they run at around Dhs140K or so.

Way too many to mention but some of my fav's:

Bamboo Lagoon - JW Marriot
Spice Island - as said above
Pisces - Madinat Jumeriah

and lots and lots more: depends on what food you are looking for what budget.

Edit: i hear that the Italian in the Rydges Plaza Hotel is good, but never tried it.

Well some of my favs: Rib room @ The Emirates towers (you NEED to try the spicy coconut soup...) Meat Co @ Madinat Jumeirah (if you drink alcohol I strongly recommend you get some south-african white wine which is just to die for) Sushi Sushi @ Irish Village Al Hallab when you're in the mood for Le...

Maaad,

Is that 21 working days or 21 calendar days?

Heard good and bad things about these cars (yeah, lets forget the past :lol: :lol: ). From all acounts they are a pretty decent motor. Think they now use the VW engine and a lot of stuff from other manufacturers, so in effect its not a true Skoda as they used to be. However, not sure about the resal...

Are you going to be using the 4x4 for off-road or purely for a daily commute to and from work plus "maybe/perhaps/never" taking it off road. Too many times you hear of people buying off road cars and it never sees the desert! Think about what you want to use the car for first before chosin...

Hey all. Im just a temporary visitor with 8 days left here in Sharjah currently and im starting to feel that there's a limit to things to do. So, I was wondering a little about rentingt a superbike maybe, and about the rules for doing so as I am only 19 (but I do have license for motorbike in Swede...
