Dubai is very hot in July but there are Air conditioning systems every where. Never mind you will be all right. Dubai is full of fun.Properties Business is growing very fast and you need to be careful bcz the prices here are beating US prices. U can get apartment for around 250 000$

Hey Nota, welcome! Yes, you're lucky - you have a sister here already and your accommodation has already been sorted out!

What advice are you looking for?

I'd be interested in knowing how hard it would be for a newcomer to get into working in real estate... i don't have that much experience, but.. i'm hoping with my languages and skills, someone will be interested in training me!!!! and if anyone knows someone who's looking for a good looking RE assistant, or trainee...
