Moving to Dubai Jul 21, 2008
Looks as if I will be moving to the Dubai and was wondering what if any areas tends to be more US or western occupied. Having just returned from a 7 week trip I found myself very isolated.

The marina has plenty of us westerners. It can be a lonely place at first, you will have to make it a point to be active and make friends quickly. Everyone here is the same as you so it isnt hard to be social. My group of friends is very open to newcommers (we're all 20 something), PM when you get here if you want.

From my experience, where you'd prefer staying is New Dubai I guess. The Springs, The Greens, Dubai Marina (as said above), The Arabian Ranches... most of these places have a large western presence.

So what do you recommend? Find a site online or contact a real estate agent directly in Dubai? The problem is that I might move to Dubai in 2009 and have no clue of the whole market. All I could find about Dubai property and I have no idea if this site is any good. So if anyone could help with some tips on where to look or how much capital I should be able to provide, I would be more than thankful.

MTV'S TRUE LIFE: I LIVE IN DUBAI CASTING CALL Aug 27, 2008
TRUE LIFE: I LIVE IN DUBAI

Are you a foreign student studying in Dubai at either an American or local institution, or teaching abroad in Dubai? Are you a local who finds the ever increasing foreign presence in the city a threat to your traditional customs? Are you an expatriate who does not identify with the mostly Arabic customs and laws? Are you or a family member relocating to Dubai for business and feeling unsure about calling Dubai your new home? Or are you simply planning an exciting vacation to Dubai to take part in one of its many festivals, celebrations, or tourist attractions? If you currently live in or will be visiting Dubai, and you believe your experience there is or will be unique culturally, MTV wants to hear from you.

If you appear to be between the ages of 16 and 28, and you think that you have an interesting story to tell the world about your experiences as either a native, local or visitor to Dubai, email us at Dubai@mtvn.com with all of the details. Please be sure to include your name, location, phone number and a photo, if possible.

Ha ha GeorgeB :lol: . Or should I say JenniferB, or BigWill, or Marcello, or Brittany, or ....

Google has about 500,000-900,000 results when you search for Dubai Property. Maybe your Google is faulty and you should take it in for repair :mrgreen:

Actually I think there's a problem with my Google too . I was looking for information about www.dubaiventure.co.uk and all I could find was this post. Do you think it's any good ;)?
