1. Can you get sky sports TV out there? Either an app or via satellite? You can use the app if you have Sky subscription in the UK. 2. We have seen loads of property's for rent in Hydra Village, what are they like? It's very far out and would take ages to get to most places. I also heard there were issues Tawtheeq's and therefore companies weren't paying housing allowances on them and difficult to get ADDC bills in your name. Not sure if this is true though. 3. Do you hang washing out to dry or use tumble dryers? How does it work? We use tumble dryers. The clothes feel really crunchy to me otherwise. Always hung out in UK and Oz but hate the feeling here. 4. Are the mosques really loud or can you have a lie in if you want? You learn to sleep through the call to prayer. I don't even hear them anymore when I am asleep. 5. My 5 month old son has a cleft palate and once surgery is done in September in the UK, he will need speech therapy, has any one had experience of this over there? It won't be for a while yet obviously! So really my question is, what's the health care like? Healthcare is amazing but dependent on your level of cover. We have Daman Enhanced Platinum and the care for our twins (one of whom its critically ill) has been the best we've ever had. Nothing (for us anyway) is really covered for routine dental care so I just shelled out 3k for a crown but the root canal was covered. Routine cleaning and x-rays aren't. 6. Which area should we NOT live in? Really down to personal preference. We live in Khalifa City A near Etihad and love our villa. Originally lived in Al Reef and it just wasn't for us and I hated the longer commute to school. 7. Which is the best British curriculum schools? My twins attend Brighton College and we love it. Not one complaint at all. We also considered BSAK, Cranleigh , BISAD and Al Yasmina. Amity has just opened and has impressed me a lot. All schools are next to impossible to get into so you'll need to apply to all of them. 8. I'm into all things crafty, is there places I can buy sewing bits etc? Not crafty at all so can't help with this one.
