I'm in the process of applying for a Nursing Job at the Sheikh Khalifa Hospital in Abu Dhabi and would very much like some advice. I want to take my family with me( wife and son). The job offers accomodation in a compound. I was just wondering,
Typical Cost Of Living(will we end up destitute on one wage? )

Any good English schools for a 5 year old?

What is compound accomodation like for a family?

Can you negotiate nursing packages to include schooling etc?

What is the average price of accomodation if we hate the compound?

Is Abu Dhabi generally safe (as safe as anywhere) :scared:

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.
