Abu Dhabi Expart
 

Hi,

I'm a single guy and looking a place to rent. I'm desperate to find some shared accommodation with some nice professional expats in Abu Dhabi.

I'm finding this all so difficult at the moment so if anyone has a room available or knows of anyone who does, I'd greatly appreciate some feedback.

Cheers,

phone: 050 355 1763

If you're a bloke,please delete the mobile number...If you're not,and,you're a woman, kindlly provide all your contact details...

Re: Abu Dhabi Expart
 

Confu is right, buddy. Never a good idea to give out your phone number on a web forum.....

Sorry that you're having a hard time finding accom - I live in AD, too, but aside from suggesting noticeboards in the supermarkets I can't help with the accomm.

If you fancy drowning your sorrows with other forum-members in AD, send us a PM and I'll give you a bell when we next arrange a night out...

Good Luck! :)

Hi am also a single guy moving to Abu Dhabi on 1st of april 2008 for a yr + with work. hearing horror stories about finding accommodation. Have you had any luck. Any advice would be grateful.

Re: Abu Dhabi Expart
 

I moved out by myself in Nov and had read about all the horror stories. It's not as bad as it seems. Make sure your company put you up in a hotel for at least a few weeks. This gives you time to look around and find places. I have some details of the woman who found me my place (will pm you once you have a few more posts). Another good place to look once you come is the notice boards in a lot of the shops (Spinneys is the best) expecially if you want to share somewhere.

Thanks for the swift reply.

yea my company have given me 2 weeks payed hotel accomodationto find myself a place. I have also sent messages to all social clubs , the HHH .ETC hoping to find a member that would be willing to rent a room or 1 bed flat to me.
Sorry mate the message I sent you was my first ever on forums . what does PM mean???
Sorry you are the first person I have made contact with who is in a simular position to myself. Afew questions if you dont mind.
I hear you have to join waiting ques to get into gym/ social clubs . is this true? Have you attempted to join , did you have problems?
How much will it cost to rent a 1 bed appartment?? How much to rent a room of somebody??
Thanks for your time.

I hear you have to join waiting ques to get into gym/ social clubs . is this true? Have you attempted to join , did you have problems? I joined Abu Dhabi Health club within a few weeks of coming out here. They told me there was a waiting list and I'd be lucky to get in BUT within a week they'd called me back and I was in!
How much will it cost to rent a 1 bed appartment?? How much to rent a room of somebody?? It all depends on what area it is in, how big it is etc etc. I would suggest waiting till you come out here and look around then
Thanks for your time.[/QUOTE]

A PM is a Private Message. It is advisable to post personal details (phone numbers, email addresses etc) on here. You can only get PM's when you've done a number of posts (think it is 5?!)

Where to find Spinney's to look at the notice boards?

Re: Abu Dhabi Expart
 

It's in the Khalidiyia part of town near Abu Dhabi Car Garage.
If you jump in a taxi they will take you straight there. After you've looked at the board you can nip inside and grab some food from upstairs in the cafe or get supplies for home :thumbup:
It is also one of the only places you can get proper bacon and pork sausages instead of crappy veal/beef bacon! :thumbup:

Re: Abu Dhabi Expart
 

...and alcohol.

Re: Abu Dhabi Expart
 

in spinneys? :ohmy: I've never seen it! Where is it - pray tell!

The only place I know is the place near National Hotels

Re: Abu Dhabi Expart
 

There is a secret door. I'll take you there and show you.

Re: Abu Dhabi Expart
 

Hmmmmmm, now theres an offer you don't get everyday!
A nice young lady offering to take you to the secret door :p
Will be gd to know for future purchases :thumbup:
