Well, the last time I wrote to a forum like this was when I was preparing to live/work in Qatar - in 2007. I'm back in the UK now but who knows, UAE may well be the next job/career move for me and the family! The people in the Qatar Living forums were brilliant; so much helpful information, and it made my working and social life so much easier during my contract.
At the moment, it is more about the cost of rent, taxes, bills, car hire in UAE that I want to focus on. Please can anybody tell me where can I go/who I can speak to, to find out about house/apartment rental costs? My instincts tell me that rental will hugely expensive, but the value about making contacts and friends is that high rental may not necessarily become a reality. I have friends throughout most of the Gulf States, but none that I know of in UAE.
Thanks
Scotty
