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!

    • Sorry to be dim. Was that coming from the shop itself, or from customers? I'd have thought the shop would have some sort of large business bin, in which case presumably Tesco will as well? 
    • Please be cautious of a woman walking two Border Collies off-lead on Peckham Rye. When my husband encountered her, the dogs were already a long distance ahead of her, and she shouted to warn him that one of them “didn’t like puppies.” Unfortunately, before he could react, her dog attacked our 6-month-old puppy. As a result, we are now currently up to £1,000 in vet bills; three of his newly grown adult teeth had to be removed so he is missing 3 of his 4 front teeth now, and he has been left with a hole in the bone of his palate which needs to be monitored to see if it will heal.  My kids are devastated and the puppy ( who we have been training really well so isnt badly behaved or agro with dogs ) is very unwell. I really wish that dogs known to be aggressive, or who do not reliably respond to recall, were kept on a lead to prevent incidents like this
    • Did you enjoy the view to your right hand side in the south west corner?
    • Can confirm that they are extremely unpleasant, shouted abuse at me as I warned an OAP not to hand over her cash and then targetted me again as I left M&S.
