My husband won't agree to provide one of those so unfortunately I can't work

BTW coffee at lime tree has to be the worst in Dubai

Is Al Dhiyafah road walkable from where you live? Went there to have dinner and couldn't find parking, so ended up going to China Times instead.

Good night!

You don't park on Diyafah Road, you park behind it...behind the Jumeirah Rotana.

Noodle Bowl is the best Chinese place this side of the creek

FACT!!

The correction has already started and sales a very slow right now in many developments. However late handovers are helping this a little.

On the bigger scene the recent massive sell off of Spanish property stock might be something to be concerned out as it could provoke a chain reaction and spread causing a globalised slump in property.

Brick and Mortar are good long term investments but shouldn't comprise more than a third of anyone's total assets as part of a wider and properly balanced portfolio.
