Hi Everyone, We are due to be moving to Abu Dhabi in September and were originally planning to live on the corniche, however having researched it, although it looks amazing, we have children who also like to have a bit ofa a roam at home too, which I don't think they would get in the corniche. We looked at khalifa city and Mohammed bin zayed city, and now I'm totally thrown! My oldest daughter will be going to gems Cambridge international school in sept so they both look ideal places for the school. But I've heard so many mixed reports, some people love KCA and Mbz and some people hate it. We aren't people who have been used to being in the middle of a town, have just lived on a leafy housing estate where the kids have been used to bussing or biking to school. Does anyone have any advice/opinions that could help us? I did see we could get more house for our money in kca or mbz which would be nice. I just want to get it right the first time and make sure the children are safe and happy from the word go. Xx

Hi Everyone, I was hoping someone could give me some advice! We are moving over to Abu Dhabi from the UK in September and are hoping to be placed in company accommodation on the Corniche. If not it will be Khalifa City. We have applied for so many schools, all the Aldar Schools etc near to the Corniche, but the only one we got a place offered was at the GEMS Cambridge at Al Mafraq which looks ages away when you look on a map but according to a distance calculator is a 30-40 min drive. I have no way of working out if this is right or not, does anyone have any clue if this is right? If it is going to be a toal nightmare would it be better for us to be in Khalifa City? We are hoping for a place at Al Muna or Pearl, but as we are trying for FS2 and YR2 we are facing a massive uphill battle for places!!! Thanks in advance
