Emigrating to the UAE
Hi All,
I've been offered a teaching job with the Ministry of Education starting in August 2016. I've never been to the UAE but have taught in Japan and France, as well as my home country of the UK, i've heard mixed reviews and don't know what to do. I'm tempted to take the job as It's definitely a new challenge and great for my career. My husband is a muslim - British Pakistani, and i'm white British so we are thinking this could be a great opportunity for us for more than one reason. The company will cover his health insurance too but we are finding it hard to make a decision and plan because it's likely we won't be allocated a location until we arrive.
The package they've offered seems fair but I think i'd just like some realistic advice, pros/cons etc to what we should be looking for or preparing for if we do decide to come. I take daily medication and have a few health issues which is one of my main concerns, my dr will give me 3 months supply but reading about the strict rules with meds makes me nervous. The weather is another concern, although I love warm weather and a blue sky, I don't know if I can deal with temperatures this high lol. Also seeing as we don't know our location is it best my husband waits to apply for jobs until we arrive i.e. Is it easier to find a job once you are there and can meet face to face?
Thanks in advance.
