Thanks so much for your reply

It's quiet, small and peaceful.   Lots of people living in other Emirates come here for Jebel Hafeet and the zoo on family trips.

It's around 1.5 hours from Dubai if you are driving yourself.   The only bus service (it used to be the case in the past) is a private company called Al Ghazal or Ghazool which has regular departures every 40 mins to Dubai.  Costs around 20-25 AED (used to be before VAT) and takes almost 2 hours.

Not visited Al Ain but I heard its not much going on there, but its not that far from AD & Dubai. I personally wouldn't want to live in Dubai though as I much prefer the more laid back vibes of AD. I heard it has a nice safari/Zoo though and a nice local community. You'll be okay there for a year to start, you can maybe use it as a stepping stone to something else in the UAE. Good lucks and welcome.

Hi Sharron,

I'm 26 next week and have just been offered a teaching job out in Al Ain to start August. This was my biggest worry and fear - No social life and Al Ain being too quiet and far from Abu Dhabi/Dubai. Did you make your decision or find anything else out about living there? Id be interested to know if you found any more information on Al Ain as I am not sure whether to take the job or not. The last thing I want to do is move out and be bored and lonely when I'm not working.
