Hi everyone,

We're planning to relocate to Abu Dhabi from New Zealand. We're a family of 4 (myself, wife, 14 and 6 year old kids).

We're looking at Khalifa city for accommodations due to the workplace being near. The main concern is finding the good schools.

I have been considering Raha International School that seems adequate, however, I would appreciate if someone can advise of any other good international schools.

Also, how is it living in Abu dhabi in general ? How is Khalifa city in terms of living, social activities / catch up etc.

I'm an engineering management professional and looking forward to connect with people around.

Thanks,

Shabbir.

Hello Shabbir,

Just bringing this thread back up with a quick message. 😉

Do you already have a date set for your relocation, or is it still to be decided?

I hope this discussion will help you gather useful information about schools, lifestyle, and social activities in the area you mentioned.

Wishing you all the best,

Cheryl
