Focus on areas along Sheik Zayed Road and you should be happy. The traffic is much better on that end of town also. Rents will be higher but you will be much happer than Mirdif

Have to disagree. If working at/nr the airport the last thing you want is a long drive to the other end of town. Whilst much of Mirdif is under the flight path, it is a nice area which is improving and is certainly more 'real' than those mentioned above. (Jumeriah Beach Residence is ghastly for example.)You will be in easy reach of many nice places to go out and won't be stuck in the 'ex-pat areas' many of which are akin to The Truman Show.
