21 years ago
Hi,

I am writting you from Paris, France. French native, I have spent 4 years in the USA, then 4 years in KSA and 2 years in the Philippines.
I came back to France in 2000... and now I am currently having 2 challenging job offers in the UAE; One in Abu Dhabi and one in Dubai.

I would like to know if possible the Pros and Cons of each city for the familly life as I will come with my wife and baby boy. I have been several times to Dubai but none to Abu Dhabi.

Also, I would like to know what is the range of prices converning the housing in both city for a medium to high standard villa/appart. what do you advise ? Villa is naturally better or appartments are Ok as well ?

Furthermore, I would like to know, once car, housing, air ticket, health package are paid, what are the minimum salary required to enjoy fully those cities while saving on the side.

As the answers may be confiendential, please do not hesitate to e-mail me.

Thanking you in advance for your help, suggestion, advices.

Warm regards,

Thomas
