Re: Areas to live (Dubai)

I must be an inbetweener then. Not fresh-faced enough to be on the cover of the magazine, but not wrinkly enough to be dye-in-the-wool haggard. It does appear that schools out in UAE have a high...

Re: Areas to live (Dubai)

It is AED14,000 after a AED90k housing allowance. 90k doesn't get you very much except a 2-bed apartment. I have a 3-bed house here in UK.

Dir was meant to mean Dirhams. I'll start to use the more accepted AED prefix from now on.
