We are moving to Dubai! My husband is already out there and I'm here tidying up the house etc as well as our 4 year old son for an end of May move! Oh and our cat is relocating too!


I met a lovely couple, who came to buy a piece of furniture lastnight, who had positive stories of their own time in Dubai and Middle East and got me thinking if any other forumites might be able to share? I've joined an expat forum out there which has been really helpful but maybe some stories closer to home......


It shall be a complete change of life for us and a brilliant experience for our son in a culturally diverse environment and a good school. Plus a bit closer to my home country of Oz before my husband finally convinces me that we really 'must' move there! After 19 years in London I'm looking forward to the sun on my back and sand between my toes and have no misconceptions about the scorching heat!


If anyone has experienced Dubai and its many 'wonders' or 'not so' then it would be good to hear!


(Apologies in advance if there are posts to this and I don't respond as I'm just about keeping my head above water with work, child, packing and selling!)


Thanks!

    • Another happy customer. Would recommend Lucasz. Good quality work and reasonable rate
    • osted 26 minutes ago   "Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead."   Perhaps they've died through lack of rain whereas dandelion roots go further down and can reach water?
    • Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead. However, most of the weeds which have been (apparently)  killed in this way are hardly likely to lift pavements, being things like Shepherd's Purse. They might seed around, but I'm not sure what harm that does. I would like to know exactly what is the remit of the council workers who are tasked with dealing with weeds in pavements (and in tree pits?). Things like dandelions which have taproots (but are hard to remove in one piece)  have been left in the pavement,  whereas things like Toadflax (which don't, and are easy to just pull out) have been removed.
    • Yet another recommendation for Casper the  handyman.   He recently completed some odd jobs around our house including installing curtain rails and hanging pictures.  He offered practical solutions to the issues that arose, was efficient and communicative.  Very reasonable rates. We’ll be using his services again and have recommended to family & friends.
