Red face I am Scottish moving from rio de janeiro to Dubai in August

The big move! Hubby and I are on route to Dubai in August seem to have a decent deal 150,000 per annum for housing 100,000 for furniture car and gas allowance on top of this. My question is house or apartment and where?
We are both keen gofers and both love to sail big into fitness gym necessary and do like entertaining at home or out.
Love some feedback about housing thanks in advance

Because it's by far the best place to live. Unless you like stale Truman style places, you can get everywhere easily, you have the beach and yacht club there. It'll be perfect for you. As I said, don't think about anywhere else.

Villa or apartment - what would you prefer?
where etc. http://www.expatforum.com/expats/dub...ent-dubai.html

Once you give more info on (a) what you want and (b) where (location) your hubby would be working and (c) if there are kids where they would be going to school, (d) whether you want to be close to "action" or you would want peace and quiet then maybe someone could help.

What Toon has mentioned are top notch options for villas, but there are numerous other options as well

My hubby is in oil working in media city. We both drive so that is not an issue our 'kids' are grown up like the action but not sure want to live in it! More happy going into the action like the beach like running like golf like tennis like the gym really really need somewhere that has good Internet access.
