Hey guys,

I have many questions, I have tried over the last couple of weeks to find the answers and I guess I am not looking in the right places or asking the right questions.

I am hoping to move to Dubai with my family. I am currently a 33 year old head of Computer Science looking for head of department roles but really want Assistant head posts, my wife is a Higher Level Teaching Assistant with a focus on Literacy, our daughter will be four when we move over I am looking at schools with accommodation and free sibling places.

1) Does Dubai actually have lots for a four year old to do, I have seen lots on the internet about how great it is, but I would like real world examples.

2) How expensive is Dubai, I am wanting to save some money and eat out once or twice a month, nothing crazy. From research (which might be wrong) the average salary for HoD in Dubai is 18,000 AED a month. I don’t drink really, I don’t smoke, just experience stuff, not have a crazy lifestyle. It is likely I would be able to put some money aside or is that a crazy pipe dream.

3) Would I need a car to get around, if people believe I do, how expensive are cars in Dubai.

4) Last and most importantly I guess. Would you guys recommend it?

Thanks for your time it is really gonna help.

Thank you guys, this is really helpful.

I am nervous about such a big move but I would certainly regret it if I didn’t do it.

I will continue to look around the forums in more detail, thanks for getting back so quickly.
