Re: Dubai - Do we or don't we?
 

Speaking from experience me and hubby done this I went to Abu Dhabi and he stayed at home glad we did but I just had a bad experience in AUH all I can say is RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH I did but not enough sadly. However I wouldntbe put off and if anythign it made our marriage stronger he visited me and got a holiday but he didnt like it and we made a decision for me to come home.

We had our home to come home to I would advise not to sell until they 2 of you are 100% happy. Good luck!

Given that you've likely heard the horror stories about conservative laws, debt prison, deadly traffic, unbearable heat, etc, etc, etc - I won't even go there.

Realistic expectations, good planning, hard work and a little luck will help you avoid most of the pitfalls here. You sound like the sort that might just make a go of it. Just make sure you have an exit plan! :)

Oh, and there's nothing wrong with The Springs... those villas are well enough for a first home in Dubai.

The current price for a 2BR is 95K AED.

It'll be less in 6 months when you're looking to bring the wife and dog.

Thanks, we are all too aware of the horror stories, that's why I wanted the opinion of people who are out there, and not just the Daily Mail readers at home!
All advice, anecdotes, pointers are gratefully received!

Re: Dubai - Do we or don't we?
 

yes but you couldn't swing a dog in those little 2bed places

Re: Dubai - Do we or don't we?
 

You shouldn't swing dogs. It's inhumane.

Re: Dubai - Do we or don't we?
 

I don't even want to know if you've tried :lol:

He's a fairly small dog, but not a "rat on a rope". He's a bolter though, so our priority is a secure garden area.

Re: Dubai - Do we or don't we?
 

apparently there are a lot of "swingers" in the springs and lots of them are dogs..allegedly :D

Re: Dubai - Do we or don't we?
 

I'll let him know! His furry good looks mean he's a hit with the laydeez.... :D

Re: Dubai - Do we or don't we?
 

so..he has never been to bed with an old dog...but he has woken up with a few!! :D

Re: Dubai - Do we or don't we?
 

BAHAHAHA!

I believe the productive portion of this thread has concluded.

Re: Dubai - Do we or don't we?
 

I assume we're still talking about my dog, and not my boyfriend!

Re: Dubai - Do we or don't we?
 

Alas, Burpusme, I do believe you are right.

Thanks for all the help on here, folks. I'm off for a well deserved pizza :p

Will check back in a few days for any other points
