Hi everyone, This is my first post so apologies if I’m covering anything that is common knowledge/has already been discussed. I am moving to Dubai from Scotland in August with my husband and Daughter who is 20 months and have a couple of questions that I’m hoping you ladies could help me out with! 1. Is it ok to wear swimwear in my garden if there is a chance neighbours/passers by could see me? 2. Does the dress code for women i.e. covering shoulders and knees apply to children also? 3. During Ramadan, is my daughter allowed to eat/drink in public or do the rules also apply to children? 4. Does anyone from the UK manage to access Sky TV in Dubai? If so can you advise how you do it? 5. I’ve heard that it may be quite difficult for me to open a bank account, can anyone shed any light on this? 6. Finally, I see that a lot of properties come with maids rooms or study – do these tend to be decent sized rooms? We need 4 bedrooms however I’m wondering if a 3 bedroom with maids room or study would be sufficient. Thank you so much in advance! Hi there I am also moving from Scotland and we are aiming for beginning of September. It's all so overwhelming I'm currently trying to find schools for two of my kids and I also have a six month old! It will be good to chat to someone who is going through the same things once I'm there!
