Hi, thanks for the reassurance. Could anyone tell me if there are clubs etc where we can begin to get to know people before we move. My husband currently lives in Silicon Oasis, we have not decided where we will move to next year I guess it will depend on work (mine) and school. Are there any teachers (6th form in particular) on the forum? I am supply teaching at the moment in the UK as I am also a part-time MA student and will be looking at returning to teaching when I get to Dubai. Any advise? Thanks Sarita

Hi SGambs, It really depends where you are moving to. But we did the same thing about 5 years ago and our youngest was going to have to sit her final 2 years here at a new school. With Dubai being full of so many different cultures she settled in very quickly and made lots of friends too which made us very happy. Now she is at University in UK but loves coming here every holiday and catches up with those friends that are also on holiday too. Friends for life. Glad we all have had the chance to experience this amazing place. Long may it last. I wish you lots of luck with your move too. xxxx:)

Hi, currently I am living in the UK while my husband lives and works in Dubai. I am planning a move to Dubai next summer (2017) after our daughter finishes her GCSE's. She will be doing her A levels in Dubai. We are coming to Dubai in August this year, and I would like to get to know families who have teenagers in preparation for our move. Thanks Sarita
