In Dubai everything is possible, that's what makes it so great. ;) Whether the Hotel Apartment will help you with shipping or not will be up to the one you end up living in temporarily, bear in mind most come furnished so you would have to store your stuff somewhere until you find a place of your own (at extra cost) unless you find an unfurnished one. Then it is up to negotiations with the person in charge. Most flats offer 1 year contracts, it is very difficult to find decent ones that offer shorter stay but possible, a few friends managed to sign 6 months or 9 months too but was rare. Dubizzle, propertyfinder can be useful websites to check. Thanks Skyfall, I will be using a relocation company for the move, and don;t have much furniture I want to move, mostly cloths, books, ornaments, TV. Just wondered if a hotel apartment would allow that? Will look at property finder and dubizzle. Thanks again!:-)

Shame as it was a great turnout! Try to make it on the 21st! You might be surprised that some medicine that is only prescription elsewhere can be simply purchased over the counter (Elocom lotion for example that contains steroids), but GP is your best bet, make an appointment for a consultation then they can do the prescription. All depends on the insurance you'll end up having here. Whether that is through a company or private will determine how good it will be as well as many people do not like to pay a lot for premiums while a company can offer you (through negotiations) a better tier hopefully. Alico and Allianz are both very good and provide international emergency covers as well. Rent first is my advice, then see if you like it enough to buy it. ;) Betterhomes is quite good. Thanks. I tried BetterHomes, they never seem to get back to me even when I was in Dubai. You're right renting initially would be better. In Dubai can you rent for less than a year or is that only possible via Hote lApartments? I have lots of things to move there as well, so not sure if a Hotel Apartment will allow me tp get my shipment there. My move is self funded.

Any help with Medical insurance that do not charge the world for preexisting conditions? I also would like to know how do we get prescription medicine in Dubai? Silly questions - but in UK it's a lot easier :-)

Hi, I'm looking to move to Dubai soon. Can you recommend any good estate agents who can help with purchasing an apartment or rent as the second option? We used Nutwood www.nutwoodme.com Elaine and Carmen were both very helpful Thanks, will look into them.

Hi, I'm in the same boat, looking for an affordable place to buy. Queue Point, i have heard good and bad things, let me know what you decide. Would you be able to recommend any good responsive estate agents. Whilst I was there in Dubai, all the agents I connected with went radio silent! Any help welcome.

Hi, I visited Dubai last week, and had no help from estate agents in trying to find a property to rent/buy. Can someone please help me by recommending good estate agents for ideally buying or alternatively renting in the Dubai areas: JLT, Marina, Meadows,Lakes, Spring or even Bur Dubai initially. I am also fishing around for a good relocation company and have looked at many, most with really bad reviews. Can someone recommend a re locator they used to move from the UK to Dubai. Also, what are good health insurance providers that don't charge the earth for preexisting condition? Thanks in advance for any help,
