Hi I'm originally from Buckinghamshire too. We lived in Doha for a year and now in Dubai. My children went to compass school, there are three campus locations. Be prepared that traffic is bad and the driving is shocking! Once your husband gets his visa then you can apply for yours and the children and only then you can get a driving licence. Good luck

Hope this isn't a silly question but are the designer bags on souq.com genuine ? Prices seem too good. Has anyone bought a Michael kors? TIA

It can take 20 minutes to get out of ranches from 7-8am then very slow on Hessa st. I work in tecom and usually takes me 45/50 mins every day.

Hi all, my husband is moving jobs to Abu Dhabi at the end of May. I need my children to finish the school year here in dubai. Is this possible? What are the implications once his visa is cancelled ( and hence ours) ? Please help I'm worry about it all! Thanks

Happy new everyone, we need to leave our current villa in the first week of March. I am a newbie at finding rentals here as our first place was organised by husbands work. Can anyone advise on the best agents to use for Arabian ranches ? Are there any reliable websites I can use or is it best to use any agent? Thanks

Hi I'm a teacher here, my children go Gems Wellington silicon Oasis as we moved here mid year and it was my only option at that time. New schools like gems Metropole, are often unfinished and under resourced when they open. It takes a few years to get themselves organised! I am happy with the Education at Gems Wellington, it is a huge school but well resourced and the teachers are mainly british trained and follow the Uk Curriculum. I would suggest you think about the area you want to live in as traffic is an issue. We live in Arabian ranches which is a great community and a good location for schools. You will find work here easily, look at the jobs advertised on this site and also Gems have their own website just google 'gems careers'. Good luck with your search if you want any more info let me know and I'll send you my email!
