Hi all,

I know my question might be sound silly or even stupid but i really need an advice. We're going to move to our house in Al Raha Gardens next week so i try to sorting out about getting water gallon and gas for our cooker. The agent only give me a list of number to call (which is kind of her, definitely) but i completely have no idea which one is good and how is the procedure to have it deliver to our house whether they deliver it evrytime we call to order or we can set up how many times a week to deliver it automatically to our house. So if anybody lives in Al Raha Gardens area or KCA, could you please advice me where to call and how much is the price.
Really appreciate ur advice. Thx alot

All houses have gas cylinders, which SHOULD be full when you move in. You can either go to ADNOC to get a replacement when you run out. houses do not come with gas cylinders, in all the houses i have been here i have to bring mine with me, if you are in a high rise they have central gas usually if not you have to bring your own bottle. maybe its different in raha gardens though. They do in Al Raha Gardens. That's where she was enquiring about. thats what i said "maybe different in raha".

if you use oasis they come once a week, you buy how many bottles you need to last you etc. gas bottles there are different sizes, again you buy the ones that you want. there are orange trucks that beep going around the place that will deliver but its hit and miss spoting them, but you can go and buy from adnoc, so if thats the case you will need to be able to carry them, so go for the small size. they are 20 dhs to refill etc. they take your old one and give you a new one (not the same one if you get me) a gas bottle obviously is difficult to tell you how long it will last as it depends on how much you use, but mine last about 3 months.

Alternatively, call one of the gas men and have them deliver to your house. We use 0504143483. He usually delivers within 30 minutes to an hour. Re water, there are several water delivery companies (e.g., Al Ain, Masafi, Nestle to name a few) that have regular delivery days in the compound. We use Al Ain and they deliver every Thursday to our part of the compound. A coupon book costs AED 80. Hope this is helpful!

Thx alot water gallon do you mean drinking water i use oasis. just ring them up and they will deliver there are many more to choose, but i know that raha were only allowing certain companies in to deliver. gas you need to go to adnoc at kca and buy some bottles you will have to pay for a regulator and hose, the regulator they usually have at the adnoc not normally the hose, you can usually get that at the hardware place in pinks shops etc.
