Hi All, We recently bought a Dubai style type B independent 3 bed villa and will be moving next week. DH and I are now in the process of buying the necessary appliances (i.e. stove, fridge, and washer/dryer) and would really appreciate the feedback of those of you who have already gone through this process. Specifically my questions are as follows: 1. Previous posts mention that only gas stoves and ovens will work. Is there a work around, and if so, how complicated is it? 2. What size cooker will fit? We are looking at the 90cm width and 60cm depth. Is this the size most people have installed, or have you opted for the smaller 4 burner 60x60 cookers? 3. Has anyone installed a side-by-side fridge (the kind with the two vertical doors), or is the given area too small? 4. For those of you using gas cookers, have any of you gone for the direct municipality provided connection, and if so, what are the fixed monthly charges? 5. Is the lack of lights in the bedroom mentioned in previous posts in the townhouses or the villas? We have measured the different areas and compared to appliance dimensions, but were very interested in what others' actual experiences have been, as theory can be very different from practice. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Hi All, We too are interested in renting/buying an independent villa in Al Furjan. Can anyone who currently lives there shed some light on whether the chiller charges are separate from DEWA, and if so, what on average, they run per month? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
