Over in the Middle East Forum there are some useful introductory threads specifically catering for those interested in moving to the region, showing the pitfalls to avoid as well as the good points. Is there any such thing over here? In particular I am finding it very difficult to choose in which area to target my search for property. Just a simple link will suffice, thanks.

We have a free beer thread above which targets certain things for prospective expats here

Hope that helps a little

Other than that, ask away .... areas to live are always difficult questions as its very much down to personal preference
