Hello,
I recently got a job offer from an organization in Sharjah, so I will be moving to the UAE in a few weeks. I am thinking of living with some friends in Dubai (possibly Bur Dubai area) and commuting to Sharjah. I've read some previous posts and it looks like it should take me about 40 mins one way. Is this pretty accurate? I have an option of finding my own housing elsewhere, but not sure if I should do that, as by living with frieds I'll be saving much more. Can someone tell me if it's worth living a bit closer to work?
Another concern I have is about using public transportation vs. private car. I guess public transport may not be the best option for commuting between the Emirates, but I am not sure. How much can you get a new/used car for? What about the approximate upkeep expenses, gas, insurance?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Alina
