Re: Can't afford Abu Dhabi...

Yep. Fully aware of that. Thanks for mentioning it though.



I'll give them a call as well as a few other hotels this weekend. By the way, is dubizzle a good place to purchase cars as well? Or...

Re: Can't afford Abu Dhabi...

Sure why not, I'm opened to the idea. Just gotta find the right person I guess.

Re: Can't afford Abu Dhabi...

Thanks. I've actually been looking into the Vision Hotel as well. Seems like a decent place to stay for a few months. How about parking? Does that cost extra?

Re: Can't afford Abu Dhabi...

Re: Can't afford Abu Dhabi...

All processing is complete. I should be heading over to Abu Dhabi within 8 weeks or less. All of a sudden, however, I've been getting cold feet. 'Tis normal is it not?

Re: Can't afford Abu Dhabi...

I've been given a new offer. The base pay is a little more but not really significantly more. What is significant, however, is the fact that they are now paying for relocation, and tuition. I would...

Re: Can't afford Abu Dhabi...

Interesting to see all the ongoing discussion despite the date of the first post. I guess this discussion will continue to go back and forth. Here's what I know though: AMMROC currently has 1300...

Re: Can't afford Abu Dhabi...

I'm actually married and have two young ones. The logic is if 500 suffices for a single guy as I've heard, then four times that should be just as fine for a family of four.

Re: Can't afford Abu Dhabi...

Wow, so besides the extremely high tuition rate, Abu Dhabi is affordable after all. Just don't expect to live like Patsy Stone, or Milhouse or any of the other wealthy bored members. Thanks, mate.

Re: Can't afford Abu Dhabi...

Thanks for the tips. Ultimately however there should be some legal permit as you mentioned. So I'll be sure to ask for one to be safe. What's your take on the grocery question, is it really 500 AED...

Re: Can't afford Abu Dhabi...

Split? I might be able to live with that if it means spending 70K instead of 140K on a house. Thanks, mate. It makes Abu Dhabi seem way more affordable than originally though. I've been told that...

Re: Can't afford Abu Dhabi...

Not to give a jump start to this thread, but am just curious what you all might think about living at Khalifah City A. The rent there for a 2 or 3 bedroom villa ranges from 60K to 90K AED per year....

I know. So how long have you been in Dubai for, Patsy, what type of work do you do if you care to share? Don't worry I'm not going to ask you how much you make.

Re: Can't afford Abu Dhabi...

That would save money, but I want my two little girls to be social and outgoing. Don't want them to be shy and introverted like myself.
