Q. Do you any good place to visit there?


Answer
We are living in the UAE for the past 2 years. One way it is a real nice place for tourism. UAE encampouses 7 Emirates. Abu Dhabi, the capital City. Dubai, a Business Hub, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm AL Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah.

Abu Dhabi is a RICH modern City with numerous tall buildings and colourfull Malls, Corniche (Beach line) and many Business centeres. Al Ain, 160 kms away but part of Abu Dhabi has FUn City (Park), Zoo, Mountain view, Hot water springs.....

Dubai is equally rich and highly expanding cosmopoliton city. Currently Dubai has the highest number of Construction going on comparing any city in the world. Lots of green parks and Beaches, theme parks..... One of the busiest cities in the world.

Other cities (Emirates) are nothing big add, but still have good amount of fun places to visit and even to camp. You cant miss the pre-Islamic Masque in Fujairah. UAE is safe for 24 hrs anywhere any time. Not like Saudi, it is a free country like US (of course a little restriction there, since they still follow the Islamic laws, which mostly will not have an impact on the Tourist).

Highlight of the county are - Good Roads, Feel Rich, Multi Cultural, Tax Free, Dubai's big Airport and world wide connectivity, Luxurious hotels (UAE claims Burj Al Arab in Duabi and Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi stays in line with very few most Luxurious hotels in the world).

Get your tickets booked today..... October to April is better time to trip and Nov to Feb is the winter here. Since there is no rainy days here, you can enjoy 365 days shine and bath.....

I want to take a 2 year job in Dubai so my family and I can have the option of traveling Africa, middle east, asia and australlia. Does anyone see any downfall to bringing kids that are 9-1 years old to Dubai? Anything I should ask or question with the employer?
I already have a job offer. I would like to talk to someone who brought kids over.



Answer
Hi There,

Congratulations on receiving a job offer.

Things you should know:

-Some companies hold their employees passports illegally. Check with them on what their policies are. Unless you are ok with that.
-Schooling will cost you about Dhs.35000 per year for the older one and slightly less for the younger ones. Kids start schools at about 3.5years of age.
-Nurseries will be about Dhs.27000 per year.
-Schools and Nurseries, generally asks for quarterly payments.
-Day care on school holidays are impossible to find⦠there is summer camps but they too can cost a lot.
-Ask if medical aid is included for you and your family. There is a difference between government medical which is compulsory and private medical, which I recommend.

You will probably benefit from hiring a housemaid, which will also cost a lot. You will need to put down a Dhs.5000 deposit for her visa and also pay 100% of the maidâs annual salary to the visa agency. Housemaid salary with accommodation is on average Dhs.1800 per month. Depends on the quality work you would require and so on.

Water and Electricity - summer months can be up to Dhs.2500+ per month. Air Conditioning is expensive.

I hope housing is included in your package, as it is very expensive. If you get an allowance and search for your own house, make sure your contract with the landlord stipulates that he/she wonât increase the rent for the first two years and no more than 10% after that.

UAE is a very safe but hot place, and if you are earning enough, you will be truly happy there. Thereâs enough for kids to do there and I am confident that you will be happy there.
The uae is not for everyone, many are leaving for different reasons. My opinion is that it wonât suit people that canât follow rules and respect other cultures and religions.

I lived in Dubai for almost 10 years and am in the process of trying to relocate my own family back. So pretty much going through the same as you, with job hunting and so on.

I hope this info has been useful.

Take care,

Maria
