Njuner, Its not a problem walking at night. You won't get thrown in jail unless you are causing trouble ofcourse. You will need a car to pretty much get around everywhere. Taxis are pretty cheap and plentiful though. So try and utilize that if you don't get a car when you first get here. I am not su...

No, it doesn't mean that Dubai is perfect.

Maybe people are just getting tired of complaining all the time...

But if you have your visa ready and in your hand prior to arrival, it will make your life infinitely easier as most things you do will require a copy o...

This might be a stupid question, but what about the other way round? say going from a non FZ company to a FZ company? would the ban apply then?

Many thanks

You know, I agree with Choco, give a straight up answer yes or no, not maybe, or if God is willing.

No offence meant as I respect different religions, but this word has been abused too many times by people who use the word because the task is too hard.

I am open to suggestions at the moment. Some people have suggested mall shopping, but I am a bit sick of shopping at the moment.

Is there anything fun going on in Dubai around this time? I mean apart from the usual stuff...

Burken,
The official taxis have a sign on the top that says "Taxi" and the body of the car is painted a light beige/cream colour and they usually have Dubai taxi or Arabia taxi or something similar written on the body.

Good luck

Hi, 1) yes, you can use an all-in-one controller. Don't ask me how, I have no idea, but we have one and it works perfectly. 2) Internet is a good idea, or if you use showtime, you can pick up a copy of the programmes from their kiosk dotted around the city. 3) Anything worth watching on TV?
