Hello. I recently installed sunscreen blinds for many windows in our house. I was extremely pleased by the company I used. The name of the company is Arabisk Furniture on umm sequim road. The business is owned by two brothers, Mr. Ahmed and Mr. Eslam. Each one is extremely professional and they provided excellent service. The blinds I ordered were oversized blinds and the pricing was very fair for quite a high quality material. They have samples of many blinds and also curtains in their shop. The phone is 0552137247.

Thanks Ambrosia, appreciate your reply - we literally have only found out we're moving less than a week ago, so it's a lot to take in and work out schools that will suit, and then if even availabil...
You are most welcome....In case JESS is totally full for your children, you can try Nord Anglia and/or Arcadia that are within 15mins of drive to AR. We had equally positive experiences with both schools as we applied to more than one school. The only thing is that Arcadia is only up to Year 6 (grade 5 in American system) for now...They will be expanding in the next two years.

Casa and Palma were the first two communities finished in AR2 and the Casa villas are 2+ years old now .... plenty of communal greenery. Lots of families here, communal play areas and pools that ar...
Many thanks. Very helpful information and insights and I appreciate it very much... Glad to hear about House hunters and your positive experience with them. I will be more motivated to contact them now as they do have many listings.

Hi there, we are also looking to move to Dubai around the same timing - but firstly busy with quickly researching schools. Can I ask, were you already on a waiting list at JESS Arabian Ranches ? ...
Hi expat472749. Yes, JESS AR is a very popular school and indeed they have waiting lists. The admissions process is a long process and we were on their waiting list for a while until we finally were contacted by the school. I am not sure if by now they have concluded their admissions for 2018 but I recommend that you call the admissions office and try to talk to them in person. They will let you know if there is any chance at all for the year group that you are interested in. There is a fee for applying as you may know, depending on your interest level in the school you might consider to apply anyway and take your chances. This is what we did...It was also helpful that our kids did well in their assessment tests and the school got to meet them in person. I wish you luck both with the school search and the move :)-

Worth considering Arabian Ranches 2 ...... just a short school run ..... lots of new Villas just been released and quite a few 1-2 years old on the market ..... the amount of new properties is kee...
Hi Ranstone. Thanks for letting me know about AR2. I originally didnt consider it since I thought it is too new,.but certainly the Villas seem much nicer than AR1. Can you kindly tell me how is the community feel in AR2? And also if your Villa has land escaping? It seems that since the community is very new, there is very little greenery...But that is just what I have seen from the pictures online. I might be totally wrong as we didnt visit the area in person on our last visit. Also did you use an agent to rent the villa? and if you can recommend your agent I would appreciate it very much. RATE IT
