Hey Folks, I just moved here with my wife and I am wondering if there is anywhere to buy a used phone in decent condition?

Not sure yet...I have been here for about two weeks and am just starting to get a feel for the job market.

There hasn't been any that are overly helpful. There are quite a few recruiters here but I really haven't gotten much response from them.

Morgan Stanley has recently opened up an office in the DIFC and I am trying to get in touch with someone there but I can't find a number for them. The DIFC won't give it out and I have tried contacting the head office in NY without success.

Any advice on where to find a phone number?

The mosque behind our building has recently increased the volume on its speakers. It is much louder than it was before. As a non-muslim, I don't want to be awake from 5 to 6 every morning if I don't have to. Is there anyone I can talk to (ie the mosque or gov office) or anyway that I can get the vol...

CFAinDubai

We did get used to it...first six months was fine. We would wake up in the moring, then fall back to sleep.

Now, they have cranked the volume and it is very, very loud. No falling back to sleep.

Looks like I am just going to have to start getting up earlier!

CFAinDubai

Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated.

Another question....is it normal to have to whole prayer broadcast or just the call to prayer?

CFAinDubai

The mosque behind my house broadcasts every call to prayer and every prayer...not just on Friday. Everyday.

Does anyone know of public tennis court in Dubai with a backboard you play against?

I am a beginner and would like to practice on my own without boring a partner.
