For any of you new to Dubai or Abu Dhabi and looking for a little help in finding your way around, maybe support in choosing a property or a nursery, or assistance with red tape, furniture or just  getting to grips with local geography, ExpatWoman offers an Orientation Service. We can tailor our orientation packages to suit all your individual needs. Please contact kathy@expatwoman.com for more information.
