British School -AD
 
Hi All

Can anyone advise how far the Al Khubairat School is away from the Al Raha beach development ?

I am still waiting for my offer in Abu Dhabi but I am currently thinking about accommodation that will suit both the run to work & the school run for the missus.

Please do not tell me its an hours drive !!!!

Thanks in advance

Karl

Really? What are you concerned about particularly? Have there been issues in the past? I'd really like to know as my son gets the school bus.

Personally I wouldn't use the school buses here unless it was an absolute emergency :( that is just MY OPINION ;)
