From Paris to Dubai

Hi Gabrielle,

The first thing to say is that you have to have a job before you can move to Dubai because you have to have an employer who will sponsor you for your residence visa. Before that, you can come on a visit visa.

Dubai has been hit by the recession like everywhere else but companies are beginning to hire again.

Real estate - do you mean to rent or buy?

Schools for kids - yes there are many but they are private and expensive.  Health - good healthcare but you must have private health insurance.

For details of daily life, the city, what do do, what to see etc etc etc, check the previous questions here on the forum, and also visit our blogs.
