It looks like we are going to be moving to Dubai in November, my son will be one year old and my wife will not be working when we are out there. Could I please have some advice on the following :

- If working in the DIFC, where would you advice to live with shortish commute and what would the cost to buy/rent a villa with pool

- Is £90Kper annum sterling realistic to lead a good life and not be to skint

Thanks in advance

Are you kidding? £90K per year is nearly AED 54k per month, which will put you in the earnings stratosphere compared to about 99% of people here. You could live in a huge villa, run a couple of brand-new Mercs, spend a bit of mad money and still shove a thousand quid (at least) into the savings account each month.

Gareth,

Thanks for your advice any tips on where to live as it seems the traffic is a nightmare and I would like to get home at a reasonable to see my family.

Thanks

If you work in DIFC then Murooj would be heaven for you.

You could (if you're lucky, get an enormous 3 bed apartment) and then enjoy all of the facilities they have on site.

Yes...if there wasnt years of being on a waiting list.

Been trying to get another place back in there but there is more chance of you moving into Burj Dubai or the World before getting a place at Al Marooj

The new Burj Residence at Burj Dubai are fab and rightnest to your work

When all the c crew move out of the towers there should be loads of apartments to rent on szr

where are all the ccrew going?

The towers on SZR are not a bad place to live..
Pretty much in the middle so you can get to both sides of town (relatively) easily.

thanks. Any places that would have villas + pool rather than appartments ?

Also what is the social side like for families ?

Blue Cat

loads of villas in Satwa, Jafflya and Jumeirah 1 areas, your family will have a great time out here, there is so much to do. Don't worry it will all fit into place once you get out here.

Rumour has it they are all going to be at Silicon Oasis too in tower blocks but as I said just a rumour not fact

That depends on whether you know someone who deals with the wait lists
