I will be working in City Tower 1 on SZR ... within the next couple of months

Does anyone have any idea/advice on where place to live close by??
I assume commuting would be 20-30mins each way??
if so how much am i expecting a month for a studio/1 brdroom?


Cheers!!

My wife works in city tower. We live in Jebel Ali. So far shes been taking the taxi. Thats 2k a month on getting to work. 20-30 minutes sound about right.

Thanks mate!

Is that 2k a month...both ways?
What time does your wife get the taxi every morning to beat the rush?

No prob.

Yip that's total. getting to , and coming from work. Including Salik Charges.

She leaves at around 7:30ish and returns at 6. SO far she hasn't been stuck in traffic. Oh, and she normally waits 10-15 minutes after phoning the cab in the mornings.

cheers again..obviously im excited and anxious about the move...

any idea on where would be a good place to live for 26 year old?

I am not the best qualified to answer that one. So ill just say what i would do knowing what I know now.

If i were 26 and single, I would stay in either the marina, or JBR. Its got all you need in walking distance, and lots of different people. I have no idea what SZR is like to live in so I wouldn't be able to tell you anything about it...

Sorry for not being much help, I know very little about other areas of dubai. Only been here 2 and a half months.
