Good evening! JVC is a nice area for living. The New Mall is under costruction directly opposite to JVC. And there is City Mall Me'isem also very close, in IMPZ. In JVC you can choose spacious apartments, not small like in Marina or JLT. And prices are also good. And the main thing it is very close to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, to the sea (15 min), Al Kail road. I live in this are 2 years and don't want to move. I'm working with Real Estate company, and our guys can give you good advices, if you need. Wish you all the best.

Good evening! To say the truth it is good time for buying property in Dubai, because the market is down. But as 2020 is coming prices soon will start to grow again. If you want to buy, it is a perfect time. And as the guys told you, it depends on a budget. And what you need: close to the sea, school, molls and etc. I'm working in Real Estate, and don't want to advertise here anything. If you want, I can give you advice. We are dealing with cheap and expensive apartments. So, wish you good luck in your searching. Don't hesitate to ask questions.

Hi Lana Well done & congrats for passing the Road Test! As you mentioned you practiced controlling the car outside the driving school. I am curious which area we can practice in Dubai outside the driving institute. I understand though its not allowed here in Dubai. Your response will be much appreciated. Thanks, June Hi! To say the truth, it's illegal to drive without lisence))) but! I'm a big girl and understand that it's dangerous, and want to say that many people who have lisence are driving worse than I was. I live not far from IMPZ. Here is industrial area not far from my home, and in the evening there are no cars. After 9-10 pm all road are free. Only empty warehouses and not finished buildings around. So I could practice U-turnes, roundabouts, parking and other. If u have a good friend with a car, find such place and be careful! Wish u all the best.

Hello, ladies! I passed my road test on 20 of December. I must say this studing was difficult for me too. I've never driven before. I opened my file in June!!! And in August I failed road test 2 times. I hated that school and that RTA man. I didn't come back for more than 3 months, but on 24 of December my file could be closed, so I had to start last time. I took 2 days of classes, was so nervous, u cant even imagine! Then I decided to stop thinking in bad way. I took the book with rooles, read it again, I found a lot of video lessons in Internet, how to park, how to change line using mirrors. So I understood how to do it in a right and logic way. Then I asked my friend to take his car and drive with him in an empty places, not far from home. I tried to drive in different speed, did U turns, and tried to feel the car, to control myself, to keep the centre of the line. The main thing my teacher told me, is to have good observing on the road. When u see hindrance keep calm, use ur horn or look in the mirror and change line. And ur examiner will see that u can control the situation on the road. It's very important. So I was practicing for 3 days near my home before exam day. When that day came, I was nervous, but remembered all the things I was told and did that last days. And that third time I didn't feel like I drive the first time, and was not afraid af other cars or pedestrians. Just was looking in my mirrors and around to control the situation. And I passed! It was so easy. When u understand what and what for u are doing all manipulations its really easy to drive. Yes, my hands were shaking))) but I did everything well. My exam took just 7 minutes! And they said me Congratulations! Wish u good luck, don't be nervous, just search like other people drive, and don't make their mistakes!
