Moving to RAK in April need advice please

Thank-you all so much that puts my mind at rest a tiny bit... so next Q. Looking at Little Oxford Nursery looks so cute any experience of it? Also would you recommend bringing our furniture out with us our getting stuff when we get there? DH wants to leave it here just in case he can't work and we end up having to come back home!!!! But I dearly want to bring our toddler's stuff with us and if we're bringing a load for him might as well bring some of ours too.... Hope you're all well? K x

Okey Dokey, thought the Mina Al Arab Granadas looked too good to be true. I can't find any images or info on the others, do you know them? Or would you know where I might be able to find some information about them? Do you know what part of town they are in? I'm thinking about transportation / access, to college, for the toddler etc... thanks

You're all so lovely thank-you so very much for your replies and advice. Praise be the internet, it does have some very good uses too :-) Just another quickie... We've just had our accommodation confirmed. Granada 1 in RAK a 3 bed villa with parking space. I can't seem to find any info about this, only stuff in Mina Al Arab. Is it the same? Any info would be grately appreciated. Also if any of you are in RAK maybe I could invite you for a coffee to say thanks for all the good advice. K x

Wow thank-you all so much you've been incredible with your advice. The college are paying for us to go out, sponsoring me and my husband and son. Flights, health care and accommodation all included for all of us, plus relocation allowance. The money is almost the same as I am on in UK for a basic lecturing position and here I'm a Deputy Head, so I think it could be worth it. I posted on here as I'm having no joy at all hearing from the HR dept, not sure if it's a cultural thing and they just take time to get back to me? We're coming out in April but naturally if we need to transport stuff we need to get that sorted now as shipping can take up to 2 months. DH has been looking for work from UK but no joy so far. He is looking in Dubai and would want to commute I think, but until that time he'll have the boy and get us set up. He's and advanced design engineer with lots of experience in exhibitions, but also in manufacturing. He has his MSc, but it looks to be just as tricky there as here to get work? We are honestly worried about that. SD thanks so much for the links to the forum will defo get on that one. It's so good to hear from you all and to hear nice things about RAK I have been getting slightly cold feet about the move. But LO is 2 so seems like a good time to take the plunge. MaryCatherine thanks for all the info very helpful. Glasgo2010 so you've just taken the plunge too? Hope it's going well? We are thinking the same once we are set up if he can't find work he can continue his freelance for the UK, still we would prefer to have the security of a job. We don't want o make cultural assumptions but my husband is British COlombian and his 1st degree is from COlombia, his MSc from UK. But he's worried he might not be hearing because of his name and fact he's not "pure British" are we unecessarily worrying? thanks. Thanks also Ms.K helpful comments, I do hope we'll settle and looking forward to the time we are going to get together as a family (our main motivation for moving) as at the moment we spend most of our time at work and travelling 3 hrs a day to and from... Loo forward to hearing more from you all. K
