Hi there!
We are an English/Australian family who are thinking of moving to Abu Dhabi. My husband has been offered a job with ExxonMobil. Could anyone enlighten us with the work ethics etc. of this company and offer any tips on schools, housing etc.
Many thanks!

No idea about the company although Abu Dhabi is good for living, extremely hot in summers. Good School are available for almost all communities, being 85% expatiate population, u will feel comfortable living in Abu Dhabi. Accommodation is very expensive in Abu Dhabi as compared to other parts of the country, education too is expensive here.
So all depends how much you earn to decide upon your living standards.
Let me know if u need any specific information about living in Abu Dhabi.

Wish u all the best.
