Can anyone give more insight to what the housing would be for my family coming there. We are a family of 4 with 2 young children. We keep seeing people say that is large, but that is a subjective term.

Hi! My name is Morvarid (Let's shorten it to MJ though since it's a mouthful) and I'm from Iran. I've been living in the UAE all my life (28 years - Never actually been to my home country). I lived in Sharjah for 27 years of that and just recently shifted to Dubai. I've basically been an expat my entire life. I have way too many hobbies and interests some of which include: painting, cosplay, reading, and crafting various DIY things. I found out about Expatwoman through Google when I was looking up some info on documentation requirements for getting your driving license in Dubai. A random fact about me isssss: I'm left handed!

I've been to Switzerland many times I've got family there :) by the way my account shows I'm male that's because when creating account it wouldn't let me select female as my gender ?

Hi everyone My name is Zsófi. Me and my husband moved from Zürich to Dubai not long ago. We found out in Dubai that i am pregnant :) we are both extremly happy. ...although we are looking forward to have a baby, it does complicate the situation! My husband works in Dubai. I wanted to go to work aswell, but being pregnant we decided against it. Not going to work makes it harder to integrate and to find my way. We live on the Palm. It is beautiful here... All i am missing is some company and friends to spend time with. Maybe some of you are in the same situation? All tips are welcome!

Hi May name is Christa, we have just moved to Doha, Qatar because of my husbands work, we have been expats for 10yrs and this is our 3rd posting. I found the page through a random search online. We love traveling off the beaten track during our time off. I love making New long term friends, stitching, crosswords, planting, watching movies, listening to music & just catching up over coffee or a meal. For the last 10yrs I've been doing volunteer charity work everywhere I've lived and I'm wondering if it's too late to get back into the work force now.
