Finding the right area to live
Could do with some help from those of you already in Dubai.
I will be working at DIC, so im keen to live close by, however i have been told that SZR is shit at that time in the morning and J5 is at a stand still.
Also being young-ish i like to go out alot and socialise, and am thinking that maybe E-hills and Meadows maybe a bit far in a taxi at 2am, full of vodka.
so....do i go for living close to work, and spending half my night in a taxi, or stay closer to town (bars and clubs) and suffer the traffic in the mornings.......????

Re: Finding the right area to live
Have you thought of living in some of the finished towers in Dubai Marina or a rented villa in Umm Suqueim?

DO take a look at the Muroon Towers Complex just off the first interchange of the SHeikh Zayed Road, they are apartments but they are much closer to town

JD Meadows too far and I don't want vodka louts anywhere near me
