Hello! Does anyone live in Al Ghadeer with children in school? If so, which school do they go to, and how do they get there? Hubby has started a job in AD, and I work in Dubai. I'm just trying to find somewhere reasonably close to Dubai to live and Al Ghadeer looks amazing. It's just the small inconvenience of the children and their school... Thank you! al ghadeer is closer to dxb than ad.... so the schooling will be nearest probably jebel ali school but only primary... etc but they are supposed to be building a school somewhere in the master planning i think.... you are too far to take kids to an expat school in abu dhabi the nearest would be the ones in khalifa city a or at baniyas etc all too far! that road is a nitemare. and really i would say its a "big inconvenience" of the children and their school... its a very new development, it was delayed and its off the main road up the truck road with "nothing" around it.... it will be years before it becomes established...... look at peoples comments about the new development of al reef up by auh airport, like its been around now for 4 years or so, but they still havent opened everything up. if it was me and i had kids i would not live in al ghadeer unless you had the time to ferry your kids back and forth.
