New To Dubai & Expat Forum

[Iron Horse]

Wanted to say hello to all. My name is Sam, I'm 37 an American and I am in Dubai. Part of a construction team here, as if that is a shock to many. I've been here for a few months now and all is well. Have all of my paperwork in order, but still in need of a few things. Anyone with any advice about Dubai is appreciated, especially surfing even though I know the waves will not be back until October/November, but looks like there might be some this weekend because of the wind.

The name Iron Horse was chosen because it's a fantastic resort in Winter Park, Colorado my home state.

Welcome! It sounds as if you are settling in well. Perhaps you will have some advice for others interested in Dubai.

Hi Iron Horse, thanks for giving me some advice today on another thread. I'm not in Dubai, sorry, but I had another question, if you don't mind... I was wondering what kinds of buildings you are working on?? (I'm looking to be involved with design/ development of spa's either for resorts /hotels/ but also large homes... curious..
thanks... all the best to you in your new place!!!

I don't work with vertical buildings, but community developments. A few big projects happening here. Send me a pm if you still think there could be some useful information I might provide.

Hi there
if you post on the Dubai board, we may be able to help with any specific questions you need help with.
All the best
Ps about 80 % of the population are expats, so your questions should get answers (LOL)
