Marie D,there are some agents who deal with Manazel al Safa but it is best to deal with Al Tayer property management directly as the building is owned by Al Tayer and they are a pleasure to deal with plus you will save yourself agency commision .

We had a reply the same day. Basically it was during DSS 2 years ago(the first day).We had just moved and had to buy lots of new appliances amongst them a dishwasher.They were advertiseing a free samsung flatscreen TV with certain dishwasher models.We went into one of their stores and spoke to a really helpful salesperson who checked measuremets etc and also checked stock and told us that there were plenty of the LG one that we wanted in stock.Went to a different branch the next day to order and they insisted that out of all the models that they had the offer on the only one in stock was the most expensive one which was nearly 1500 dhs more than the LG one.After speaking to a manager and calling the other branch everyone was insisting the same that all other models had sold out apart from the most expensive one.We emailed consumer affairs explaining how we felt the advertisement was misleading as it was only the 2nd day of DSS and they were claiming to of sold out although still advertiseing the offer in store and in their DSS leaflet.We recieved a phone call the same day saying that it was now available and we could go in to process the order.

Manazel Al Safa(next to Millenium and close to the Metro)is a beautiful building.Apartments have a great layout,very good finnishing,appliances included ,excellent maintenance etc.It is owned by Al Tayer and managed by Al Tayer real estate-if you go directly through them you do not pay commision .Definitely a must see.

Hi Hugsy, we looked at villas in JVC last year (not Diamond View)and I loved the villa but a resident who had recently moved in told me that they had had a problem with rats inside the villa! I have recently read more reports about this and really think its something that you need to consider if you could put up with 'if' you were unlucky enough for it to happen to you. http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/general/rat-attack-shocks-jumeirah-village-car-owner-1.1024093 Singh is not alone in his despair. His neighbour has also been affected. Joanna, who lives in Diamond Views, says she's been dealing with the rat infestation for months. "My new three-seater leather sofa (part of a seven-seater set) had to be replaced as the damage was irreparable. The rats are a headache. Don't know how these pests keep getting into the villa," says Joanna. Although residents are left wringing their hands in despair, the general consensus is that unattended, abandoned construction sites are a breeding ground for these rats. "My villa in Jumeirah Village Circle between Valentia and Iris Park faces a huge vacant under-construction area with structures erected till the base level. Construction has long since stopped and the whole area is littered with unused bricks and concrete, broken rods, household furniture, etc. It's a major breeding ground for rats and rodents," says Michael Foster, a resident of the area. http://www.expatwoman.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=180209 Have you considered Falcon City-4 beds going for 120,3 bed between 90 AND 110 and there are also very spacious 2 beds.

Unfortunately KLM have stopped flying into Liverpool . Manchester is the easiest way then you can get the train from the terminal and change at Manchester Picadilly to Liverpool Lime Street.Or you could pre book a Delta taxi who charge 30.00 from Man into LPL .

Hi Sirenbritbabe, Muslim males can marry non muslim womenin the Sharia court here. My friend from the Uk married her Iranian husband here,Their is a process to follow which included blood tests for both,as she was Christian and not converting she had to have a letter from her father in the UK that had been attested9?) and she also had to have a male Christian present(as a witness I think.)I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable ladies in this subject will post lots of advice for you.
