However, i would confirm that the reason so many structures here are sub-standard is due to poor...

So long as the maximum heat of hydration (which typically occurs 2-3 days after...

Suit Tailor in AD

Does anyone know of a good, trustworthy tailor in Abu Dhabi?
Need to get a nice suit, and want to get made to measure, but not some clown to make me look like a Lebo reject!

Re: Golf Courses in AD

The membership for The National is ridiculous - something like 21,000dhs plus the joining fee. Coupled with the waiting list, i would give it a miss.

Re: BMW M3

Thanks Macscot,
