Hi I'm in the market for a second hand car. Has anyone bought a car from the automarket at ras al khor? Can anyone give me some positives and negatives about it. There seems to be a lot on offer there but prices are not advertised on the cars. Any info would be appreciated. Thanx

Xander

Thank you for your reply. I had a look our there yesterday and noticed a lot of the vehicles are new. I assumed there are imported vehicles from USA, etc. Do you know if they are GCC specifications. Is there a separate compliance plate for GCC / UAE.

Thanks

Xander

just tell them you are here looking for work, but I'm sure they wont ask if you are coming from UK.

problem is a lot of appartments were bought off plan, so landlords have trippled their money. They are not as negotiable in rent as some may think, especially JBR suprisingly.

Xander

Xander

arabian ranches nicer villas, better value. springs boxy villas for same price but i think a bit closer maybe, mirdiff flight path. finding a villa is a horrible job, so its a good idea that your husband comes first! good luck

Xander

no way, its not enough. You will struggle with the accomodation, and schooling and you also want to live. Dubai seems to be getting much more expensive and alot less lucrative!!!!

I totally agree with deedee. 100000 dhms a little low for rental. Coming from a family with 2 children, I would definently negotiate some rent aswell as relocation allowance. It can cost a bit to set a family up here and just as much to ship your things over! Schooling will cost and so I would also ...

Hi I'm just wondering if anyone has found a shop that sells cake decorating supplies. Like decorations, icing different size cake tins, dye's etc. I love making my own birthday cakes, but only when I can use decent stuff. Any help is appreciated. thanx

there are many good international schools here. It also really depends on where you live or if you want to travel. Waiting lists are usually the case, so maybe put your name down at schools. Some to look at are Kings dubai, Wellington, Raffles, Repton, DES, but really you should google and then look...

It feels very "unreal" meaning fake. It lacks culture in some parts and has alot of people living here that live 'the life' because they cant do so at home. we came here to experience some change and a base to do some travelling, and earn some money in between. its not all bad it definentl...
