I've stayed at the Golden Tulip a couple of times. It was for work so didn't have to pay myself but think the price was quite reasonable. There's a nice swimming pool, Irish themed pub and a well-stocked mini-bar!

Hi guys,

We are leaving Al Ain shortly and are looking to, reluctantly, re-house our pet Beagle. She has a heart condition which requires medication 3 times a day. She is happy and stable on the medication, but the flight back to Oz and 45 days in Quarantine means she will not be able to be medicated correctly. It will cause her suffering and distress which we would prefer not to put her through. I have a poster with all the details on it. If you can help out, or know someone who can, please send me a PM with you email address and I will send the flyer.

Thanks,

Ben.

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the process for getting an alcohol license please.

I understand I need a form from Spinneys and a letter from my employer. Is there a pro-forma for this letter? I understand I then need to take the form, letter, passport with visa, photo's, hat size, shoe size and inside leg measurement to the police station with the usual 200 DHS.

Which police station? Some people say Abu Dhabi others say Al Ain. Also where is the police station?

I'm confused. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I believe the police station at Khalifa City in Abu Dhabi is the place to go. Might have changed though. I think there's some info on the Abu Dhabi police webpage. Spinneys does have the forms though. Have fun with yet another admin shaft in the UAE!

Do we actually NEED a license? I heard you need one in Dubai, but not in Abu Dhabi Emirate.

ozkingy

Yes, you do need a licence to purchase alcohol from an alcohol retailer in Abu Dhabi. If there was such a place that you didn't need one, to advertise the fact here on an open forum may lead to dire and undesirable effects. I'd suggest you get the latest information about alcohol licencing and purchasing face to face with someone you know, or via Private messages.

Cheers.

Hi ....sorry to jump in. I will be arriving Al Ain 1st Oct from Cape Town (wife and 2 children 14, 12) will arrive Jan '11....for an agricultural project. Looking for a 3 bedroom villa in "nice" area. Company has given 84 000 for housing....does this seem reasonable amount to find something relatively decent? Any recommendation on names of popular suburbs?

Seems a bit low - although we are in a small 3 bed villa that cost 80k, but these are rare and we are the envy of all our friends. I would be asking them for at least 100k, though 130-140k would be perfect. As to areas, most areas apart from central are great - which area are you going to be working in? Al Ain is spread out over a large area, so if you can live near your work or the schools then you will save a whole lot of time and energy travelling! Go onto google earth, have a look at the schools area and you might get an idea of the city's layout. PM me for specific info.

Hi, I am in the process of househunting in Al Ain. I think that 84 is not enough money for housing. My friend just got a small 3 bed for 105. Ask for more. Good areas near school are Falj Haza or Zakher. However, as Blue Lioness said, most areas are nice and even if you lived further away, you would be able to drive to schools within half an hour or so.

Good luck with the move!
