I have accepted an offer to relocate to Dubai, and it would be really helpful if you guys can list out some of the things you wished you had brought with you, which are not available or difficult to obtain in Dubai.

Thanks heaps.

I was hoping for more personalized feedback...

Thanks XPClone... I was hoping for a 2 bedroom apartment but it appears that a place in Marina would be out of my budget. What are some other preferred areas? My office will be in the Emirates Towers so I wouldn't mind some place closeby. If I can find a place in a convenient location, then perhaps ...

Is it easy to play a round of golf in Dubai? Or would one need an expensive membership to get to play? Also looking for keen golfers out there to play together.

hi crocstarr... I wasn't aware that the regulations re non-married co-habitation have recently changed, can you please elaborate on that. Thanks.

Is the new 2007 Infinit G35 available in Dubai? If so can someone please tell me how much does it cost and what kind of financing options available for this car.

Thanks in advance.

Yes I think it's the same car I was referring to... I actually prefer the Skyline branding... so will it be available in Dubai?

Any other quality 2 bedroom hotel apartments within the budget of AED150K p.a. that you can recommend? Thanks.

Can someone recommend me a church to attend on Fridays? I was told that there is Dubai ECC, where is it located and is it far to get there?
Also I would appreciate if you can refer me to caregroups / cell groups.

Thanks.

sage & onion... actually the validation process only applies to degree related qualifications, any other professional qualifications still required to be attested by the UAE embassies.

Can someone please give me details of the car rental deals (12-24 month) currently available in Dubai. From what I have been told the arrangement entails a fixed monthly payment and at the end of the rental term there is an option to return the car or purchase the car at a discounted price. I unders...

How much is the new IS300 going for? any long term rental or lease available for this car?

I have worked in both Australia, Hong Kong, China and now in Dubai. In terms of experience I would encourage you to give China a go, it is a dynamic and fascinating market with loads of opportunities. The markets in GCC are also interesting, but really supported by the high oil prices more than anyt...

Your best option is probably finding a hotel apartment (or serviced apartment). These apartments are normally furnished with cleaning services, and you can rent them on a monthly basis thus giving you flexibility. I have searched all over the Marina area and haven't found anything decent below 100K,...

Can someone please tell me what kind of penalties or charges would be imposed if the car was sold prior to the end of the financing period. eg selling the car in year 2 under a 4 year bank finance.

Thank you in advance.

transfer the liability assuming the buyer will finance the purchase as well?

You can open a bank account prior to obtaining your residency, simply ask your company to provide a letter confirming your employment and that your residence visa is in process. However opening a bank account is one thing, getting a loan is another and I have to agree with Jayzed that the likelihood...

Any recommended travel agencies that can provide reasonably priced air tickets?

Thanks

Is the new G35 available now? I went to the Nissan / Infiniti showroom and all they have is the M45.

Also is the 2007 G35 Coupe also released in Dubai? What are the prices for both the sedan and coupe G35?

fafit

how about the coupe... is there a new 2007 model also?

fafit

you will probably get by if you stay in Bur Dubai or Deira within walking distance from your work... that way you won't need a car and can get a variety of cheap food in the area.

it will be tight but if you budget well perhaps it'll be okay.

good luck!

The best place I have found for chinese groceries is probably near the Deira centre, or commonly known as the "Shoe City". But again as dodgeek pointed out most of the items are china branded products and rarely have I found any HK stuff around. Keep in mind that a lot of the china product...

The soup noodles in China Sea (Deira) is good... I've lived and travelled extensively in China and I can tell you that their noodles are very authentic indeed.

You can get Chinese newspapers in that restaurant, as well as from those grocery stores in Deira.

why would you quit one month before the bonus payout?? it really depends on what was originally agreed in your employment contract, but normally unless you have some bargaining chips, it is likely that your resignation implies forgoing your bonuses.

fafit

The most convenient location for you would be the Marina... but prices there are quite expensive. With a 90K budget... as far as I know the best option would be to look at the Diamond apartments in Marina... they are of inferior quality compared to the rest of the Marina apartments, but nonetheless ...
