I tlooks as if we are staying in the UAE. We are thinking of moving to Al Reem Island: Marina Heights. If you live there, can you tell me about living there? If it is easy to live there without a car, easy to get a taxi.

Thank you for the reply jojobaaklini. We have an appointment for viewing an apartment tomorrow but my husband and i are still reluctant. I noted your email down if you want to remove it. Thank you for your kind offer.

Well i only really know Marina Square as its the area where i live. Its the first 3 buidlings as you pull onto Al Remm from the Abu Dhabi entrances. We are the first buidling 'ocean terrace' within marina square. Great location for both entrance and exit onto Al Reem. It has a swimming pool and a play area for kids on the 6th floor both of which have sun all day but has a massive covered area with beds and tables, perfect for my 9 week old baby. There is lots of children in the building and the pool always gets busier at 3pm onwards when the schools kick out so depending how old your children are,it would be perfect! We searched on Dubbizle and found it straight away, the 2nd Tower next door(sorry the name i dont remember?)was the same price, the apartments are smaller and the pool doesnt get sun at all by the looks of the position. We have 4 floors of parking,all allocated to each apartment, only downside is its only 1 per 2bedroom apartment, but at the moment the barrier is not operational so my husbands able to park aswell. Geant express is within walking distance and lots of pathways to walk in the winter months. Sorry i cant be of help with the other buildings, we only looked at this one apartment, fell in love with it so much and decided to take it straight away! Your more than welcome to come and take a look at ours and the swimming pool etc if you would like to, my mum is here on holiday though so if im not checking back on here feel free to contact me on..... Goodluck with your search, HTH x x <em>edited by jojobaaklini on 29/06/2012</em>

Hi Jojobaaklini. Searching the net i found many properties or "areas" in Al Reem Island: RAK towers, Shams, Marina Square, Marina Bay. I'm quite confused. Do you have an idea what these are? and which place do you recommend for a family with little children? Thanks.

We moved in last month to an apartment in Marina Square, love it here and wouldnt want to live anywhere else. We have a lovely swimming pool and underground parking. There is a Geant Express which sells everything you could need. A few more shops are meant to be opening soon La Brioche, Pharmacy, Flower Shop and the mall is well under construction but still no date of opening as yet. Most places deliver fast food over to here and there is a laundry company that aslocollects and returns items.Me and DH both drive and have cars so dont know about Taxi's however we see them coming in all the time dropping off so they must be available, i did hear someone say you can order them easily enough. Weve only just moved but if i can help with anything else just shout HTH
