Accommodation in Abu Dhabi
Guys, I live in Dubai, however there is a possibility I may be offered a job in Abu Dhabi... I am not sure where to find any posts on shared accommodation with western Expats online.
Any idea in regards to cost? I would not really like to drive from DXB to AD everyday.
Cheers

Re: Accommodation in Abu Dhabi
stay in dubai for the cheaper rent and investigate the possiblity of hiring a driver for the money you are saving in rent to do the drive for you...lots of folk are doing that and taking advantage of the lower rents in dubai....

Re: Accommodation in Abu Dhabi
You wouldn't even get accommodation in a Labour Camp for that pcm.
Looking at stuff today,it seems companies are paying @4,600 per capita for
a squad in a 60 bed unit Mussafah & MBZ.
Rents aren't tumbling yet in AD,except perhaps Jericho Walls aka Al Raha Gardens but reality check-they could really only go one way ...
I am sure he won't mind me suggesting you pm him.
Paul Eric has been actively seeking similar......maybe you two could share the chores-seriously. Good luck.

Re: Accommodation in Abu Dhabi
Ok what's the latest on Abu Dhabi rentals - are prices really coming down or does this only apply to Al Raha Gardens?

Re: Accommodation in Abu Dhabi
I think this is pretty sound-http:www.ameinfo.com/193142.html
although I believe since report was published there has been a reduction in the number of hotel rooms required by 2010(or was it 2012-oh well you can read it here anyway)

Re: Accommodation in Abu Dhabi
AD rentals are still very high. Only things that have come down are the villas off-island that were at super ridiculous prices and are now at still ridiculous prices
