I find this link helpful when come to matters related to the UAE Laws etc.

Note how the article is entitled "The latest visa rules". What are they going to call it when it all changes again?

You practicaly had to take out a small mortgage. The fees (taxes) in Dubai are extortionate!

Its all little hidden fees that you only discover once you are out here.
The connection on everything is a nightmare. Once you know what to do and where to go and how to navigate all the roads, it takes about 3 months to get straight ...Very expensive with the rents and services also.

Still find it cheaper than the UK....Just!!

You need a BIG package to live here!
