Re: Jet skis banned from Abu Dhabi beaches

Re: UAE

Re: Help about importing my cats please!!!

A few months ago it looked possible that we could be moving to Saudi with two cats, but from Abu Dhabi rather than the UK. I remember reading a thread on the Aramco expats website and it was fairly...

Re: Homesickness

It's not so much 'home'sickness that I feel - I just know that the Middle East isn't the place for me. I miss things like being able to go for a walk, putting on songs from a jukebox in the pub,...

Re: Abu Dhabi Move - Questions

It's worth asking if they'll take more cheques too. It all depends on your landlord but some may take four cheques. We were really lucky and got six which was a massive help to us (no housing...
