where to live??

[Dino100]

hi all,

finally arrived this morning at 1am and in the office at 9, welcome to Dubai eh?? ha ha

My new office is located around Festival City, it feels quite out of it but i guess ill get used to it.

If anyone is familiar with this part of town would they be able to advise on best place to live? I am a single 29yr old lad from London that wants somewhere nice, with shops and bars not too far away. Any help on this would be a huge help guys

Look forward to seeing everyone on the 25th

Cheers

Dean

All the best for the first few weeks and getting settled in. I cannot answer your question but thought I would say a quick hello and see you there in 7 weeks!

Hi Dean

Welcome to Dubai!

Considering where you work and your requirements, consider the following areas:

Deira (creekside/Port Saed)
Garhoud
Oud Metha
Bur Dubai
Old Town

You will soon settle in.

Hi Aussie bel

Its a bit of a culture shock but its my second day and already i know im gonna like it here. U must be getting excited, are you coming from Oz or somewhere else?

There will be loads of people to meet, especially from this forum, everyone has been a huge help on here so feel free to ask all your questions.

Look forward to seeing you when you arrive in the land of the sand!

Thanks Elphaba, ill look into those areas, i have heard that Bur Dubai, whilst busy, is central and lots to do and Creekside sounds nice. I am not too woories about traffic, coming from London, so a 30-40 min commute doesn't bother me but ill certainly look into the areas you have suggested, thx for the tip!

Look forward to meeting up soon

Welcome to Dubai! I totally understand what you mean about loving this place! I came out here on my own and I absolutely love it here! Only been here 3 weeks (nearly!) but I already know that I will be happy here & will certainly be here for a good few years. It certainly helped that I have got the most mazing work colleagues ever and that we all get on! Now, I just need to convince my other half that Dubai is THE place to be right now!!!
