Default Salary & Moving to the UAE

Hi,

I am a newbie on here but was in Dubai 2x before but nowhere else. Work wants to send me to the UAE again but I think they gravitate towards Al-Ain. We are used to the Dubai type lifestyle ...

Al-Ain - is it a real option then?

Help is really appreciated...

I love Al Ain, would move up there at a drop of hat! better than Dubai by a long shot if you ask me. No traffic, cheaper rents etc.

They don't! GA & Sgilli would rather live in Al Ain where the pace of life is slower, that's all.

I have no plans to leave.
