Arabian Ranches?
 
Hey - just wondered if anyone could tell me anythin about the Arabian Ranches? Starting work at a school on Sheikh Zayed Rd in Sept n accomm might be there - bit worried it might be a bit far out though...? How long roughly would it take to get into the city?

Any help would be great, thanks!

Ok, that's by the Shangri-la hotel, so, depending on traffic, I think about 45-50 minutes whichever way you go

Its GWPS. Im not senior staff - its just that at the meeting we had he was saying about there being a shortage of nice 1bed apartments in Dubai just now n he didnt want to put us in the middle of a building site etc so wev decided to share to get a better place. So myself and three other girls are sharing - to get a 4bed villa. Think thats why it is. The distance is a bit of a bitch tho - are taxi's cheap enough from there into town for going out n stuff do u know?

argh right!! that is a bit of a drive, if it had been Gems World you would have been laughing at the Ranches. Technically it is illegal to share you know, but if your careful you should be ok. A four bed on the Ranches - wow very posh!!! good luck with it all ;)
