Good morning, I am currently in Cyprus my husband is a serving member of the RAF and we are based on a British military camp here. He is going to London for a job interview tomorrow for a job in Abu Dhabi, part of the package includes a 3 bed apartment 'in Abu Dhabi city' I was just wondering if there are any areas of the city that are not so nice to live in? he has more or less been guaranteed the job so I just wanted to get a bit more information :). I have a. 3 year old and a 5 month old and am very worried about been isolated as he will be away 4 days a week. Is there plenty of activities and groups to do with young children? Also how much is the average cost to buy a small car and how much is tax,insurance etc? Sorry for all the questions I am just a bit anxious as this has all happened in the last 24 hours and is a lt to take in. Thanks in advance for your help hi, 3 bed apartment in the city well it could be anywhere, there are lot of areas as most of the city is full of apartments, if on island you will not be isolated, if you are put in the new area called al reem then you will be isolated as its brand new, infrastructure isnt finished and will take time. you can rent a small car, yaris in the first instance, maybe for nearly 2000 dhs a month, that includes insurance, tax etc. if you wanted to buy then you would have to factor that on top, insurance is quite expensive here because of the "brilliant" drivers
