I'd recommend this company https://www.a1autotransport.com/importing-from-uae/ for international auto transport, but be warned, it is very expensive. I've just heard about them through the grapevine from other families I know that have imported from Europe & the Middle East, but it cost several thousand dollars in each case. There's going to be additional registration fees once it arrives too I'm sure so I don't know that it would be worth the cost of shipping it. Edit: sorry, didn't realize this was an older post. I'll leave the info in case anyone else is curious.

I have some family in Palm Springs and what I can tell you about it is that it's extremely hot. Unpleasantly hot so there's very little you can do outside. Like Mallory2007 said, it's also very much a retirement community in most areas. I wouldn't say it's really that affordable, but it's cheaper than places like San Diego and LA.

You might want to take a look at some videos online that explain. It's not too difficult to pick up once you understand how to get started and thread the machine. Like anything else, it just takes some practice!

I had a great time staying at the Melia San Lucas a few years ago. It was kind of pricey if I recall, but it's gorgeous. Close to everything and several great bars & restaurants in the area.

I'd look in places outside of the city if you're looking for something affordable. Keep in mind that "affordable" in that part of the U.S. will cost a fortune compared to other parts of the country. There is some reasonable public transit in some parts of the region that make it accessible even if you don't live in San Francisco so you might consider that. Driving and parking in San Francisco is also a nightmare as I recall so you might be better off checking slightly south or east of the city.
