I have recently applied for a job as a radiotherapy nurse in Al Ain. I'm 28 and single, can anyone give me advice, help, information, anything that would help me to learn about the city?
Thanks x

Good luck

Al Ain is often called the Garden City of the U.A.E, as wot it lacks in terms of an Urban environment, it makes up for in terms of its luch greenery. Mind u, Al Ain is more often than not, the hottest city in the U.A.E. It is about an hour and a half away from Dubai by road. It is a small city with a fairly small population.

I'd love to know what the socail life is like out there too! If anyone has any idea??

My friend's brother is a nurse in Al-Ain. From what I've heard of the place, it has a small community feel to it, which I think is quite nice, as Dubai can sometimes feel quite superficial, in this respect. However, he has a car and tends to drive out to Dubai for the social life, as from what I gather there's not a great deal happening in Al Ain.

If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone'll correct me...

CP.. would we ever correct you?

how you doing anyway.?

Cherrypie

Joseph, is that really you, being so gentlemanly? I'm fine thank you and how are you?

Face81

Al Ain is a village compared to Dubai! So u r absolutely correct. Just like Joe said, would we ever correct u? LOL

i can be a damn fine gentleman. lol

have you got your new nectar card yet?!

just days to go..... :scared:

Cherrypie

I see you will miss your Nectar points, Joe I found my old card, after all...thought I'd chucked it out.

You'll be really busy now, I guess. It's funny to be honest, you had so many questions about Dubai...you were so clueless about the place, that I couldn't figure out why you wanted to get a job there so much in the first place...is kind of weird.

Anyway, it's in the box now!! Bound to be a great laugh

I was interested in the emerging market of the design industry to bve honest. I knew stuff abiout it and wanted to do it!

Emirates cabin crew and tax free income has NOTHING to do with it!
