Disco Gardens to AUH is 45-50 mins by car. There is no public transport.

wow shockers how come they gave you an accomodation in dubai when your work is in abu dhabi?

there has been some change in the uae. people used to come to dubai for work but when dubai went into economic crisis everyone found work in abu dhabi but continued living in dubai. thats the reason to why people live in dubai and work in abu dhabi but y bring in an expat to work in abu dhabi and place him in dubai???

you can live in Khalifa A incase you reconsider.o r talk them into it?? the rentals overthere are not high but the apartments are not the best either.. dubai is 10x better in that matter. your accomodation in dubai is useful. youve got the entrance and the kitchen all in the right place. where as in abu dhabi wht they did is divide a huge villa into as many roooms as possible. so the kitchen is not right. the bathrooom always stinks because of sewage. some rooms dont have airconditioning(a problem that is resolved right away)

goodluckk..
