British expat family considering move from Addis Ababa

Hello AddisRugby,

I would suggest you to browse through the different forum categories available on the Amman forum on the right hand side of the page to get more information about what you are looking for.

Concerning domestic help i can suggest you to have a look at the section Housemaid jobs in Amman.

I hope you will get more information from the members soon..

Thank you
Yuveshen

You're welcome 

There's no comparison between the two locations; Amman is a world class city with international corporations, investment banks, 5 star hotels, malls, best health care in middle east, one of the safest cities in the region etc.

Addis Ababa is a third world city where people struggle with famine, unemployment, crime etc

"Best health care in Middle East" . Then I'd hate to see the healthcare in other ME countries!
