Ah - Emirates Road. As I said we don't use the numbers around these parts and you'll get blank looks form most people if you do. Emirates Road takes you quite a bit out of your way & is further out than Al Khail. I wouldn't take that route unless I really had to as it is much longer.

Thanks again Elphaba,

It's difficult to get an idea of the scale of things sitting looking at a map in England.

5 weeks until I get there! The information provided on this website has been fantastic, especially from regular posters like yourself and Geordie Armani.

Thanks

thank you x

I like Sunderland, and in fact I still have a jersey with the #4 Claudio Reyna on the back.

Another vote for use of Sheik Zayed Road. Emirates Golf Club is just on the other side of SZR from the Marina. Arabian Ranches and the Ernie Els courses might be an easier drive too.

Hi Iron Horse,

Presumably your not a Mackem but your an American 'soccer' fan? and a fan of Caudio Reyna, not Sunderland? Believe me mate; if you'd been to Sunderland, you wouldn't like them!

Thanks for your opinions anyways!

[Geordie Armani]

Crammy are you going to be working at the Golf Club?

Crammyman / GA

What's wrang with us lads from Sunderland !!.
Anyway we've both got crap football teams.

[Crammyman]

GA - No I'm not working at golf club, my office will be next to it though and thought people would know where the golf club was.

Mackem lad - I was on late shift at Nissan when Kevin Phillips scored that lob in the Gullit Shearer game. Being surrounded by Mackems - it was my worst nightmare!!!

I was also at the home game a couple of months back!! I could send you some photo's of the celebrations if you like?!!!!

Outof interest, did you come across Alfie Bell whilst at Nissan. A good mate of mine. Although I,ve been away from S/Land for 25 years.

Anyone else - can you recomend short term furnished lets for maybe a month or so, until i move over permanently towards the end of the year. Working in JAFZ

[Crammyman]

Alright Spurdog,
I never came across him - I worked in the paint shop and unless he worked in there too, I wouldn't know him.

Having had a look about - I think your best bet would be to get a room in somebodies Villa for such a short period. Some of them are basically studio's within a Villa. I'm sure those who are over there will be able to tell you better though
