Re: Doctors in Emirates Living area

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. Looks like I'll have to head to Al Wasl area, shame there's nothing good around Emirates. Hopefully we'll avoid the sick child in the middle of the night...

Re: Doctors in Emirates Living area

Thanks for the two recommendations.

How does it work, by the way, when you know you need to see a specialist (e.g. a dermatologist) - can you book directly with someone, or have to be referred...

Re: Doctors in Emirates Living area

Thanks for that, Blue Cat. Not sure if I like the not registering bit. It's good to be able to walk in for an appointment for sure, but for the children I'd like to see someone consistently who I...

Doctors in Emirates Living area

Hi,
We've moved into the Lakes, and I'd like to get sorted with a doctor, ideally a good family doctor. Can anyone recommend a clinic in the area? I've passed by the Meadows clinic but know nothing...

Re: Who has bought a car privately in Dubai?

HI Bahtat Boy,
Yes, that Pajero with the dealer seemed dead expensive, didn't it. Some of the new car deals are really good, as you say. The Ford Explorer is on at 100k with some good extras too,...

Re: Who has bought a car privately in Dubai?

Thanks for your replies. The dealer prices are still reasonable by UK standards, so we probably should stick with this. I do feel there are also many genuine private sellers but on balance we can do...

Who has bought a car privately in Dubai?

Hi there,

Despite having browsed cars on Dubizzle for the first few weeks of our stay, we had made up our minds that we'd buy through a dealer for the warranty and general peace of mind.

Re: Dubai visa delays, and bank recommendations

Re: Dubai visa delays, and bank recommendations

We're relocating five of us, three children under five, so really wanted work visa approval out of the way before we travel, and then planned to do medical and residency application asap. Can't...

Dubai visa delays, and bank recommendations

Hi there,
Did anyone else have a work visa held up due to 'security review'? (ironically, I guess nobody whose visa was rejected is around on the ME board to answer my question). My (employment)...

Hi there,
We accepted our Dubai job offer on Thursday (my job and relocation package is confirmed, husband's is still in progress but we're happy if he doesn't have to work for a month or two). We...

Re: What's the deal with school waiting lists in Dubai?

Re: What's the deal with school waiting lists in Dubai?

Thanks again, Blue Cat. Housing allowance will become clearer tomorrow or the next day. Looking at rental prices online, it seems extortionate and I wonder will we find anything decent, but...

Re: What's the deal with school waiting lists in Dubai?

No choice unfortunately, Blue Cat :) I've just had a blissful year's maternity leave at home with the three of them, and now jumping right back in at deep end with a relocation. Regent replied to say...

We've read that a wife relocating to Dubai on her husband's visa needs a letter of no-objection before she can work. Are there any restrictions on a husband travelling on his wife's visa?...

Re: What's the deal with school waiting lists in Dubai?

Thanks for the reply, lionheart. Do the waiting lists move quite quickly? I can't see the value in joining anything with a list of over 10 waiting (especially since for the 5-year-old it's not for a...
