really?? thats loads, the most we pay for our 2 bed flat in AD is 90dhs a month.

Fast working out we might save a bit on rent but the rest of the costs will far outweigh it here.

Hi All,

Well I"m a dhabian but my lease is up in September and that big old accommodation debate is on again, do we move to Dubai and commute???

I've said I'll only do it to have a nice house, been looking at 3 beds in the Springs seem reasonable. I just want to know the other costs as obviously the rest of house stuff is generally more expensive in Dubai.

Its just me and hubby so please can people advise me:

- whats your average DEWA bills? About 1200dh currently
- any gas bills? Can't recall set up but it's about 90dh every 3 months or so for a new gas bottle for the stove
- any maintenance costs? Get it covered in your rent agreement, and then theres that municipality tax thingy which is on your DEWA bill, 5% of your years rental.
- what are the facilities like there? 1 or 2 pools in every 2nd spring, nice lakes and footpaths, Spinneys, Choithrams, gyms couple of cafe's etc all in the 'compound'
- any ideas on travelling time to AD? Depends where to in AD, if right into the city, add on your traffic-stuck in it time- otherwise about an hour

thanks ladies you help is much appreciated!
