Moving to Abu Dhabi

21 years ago
My husband and I are considering moving to Abu Dhabi. We want to bring our dog. Is it difficult to find accomodation when you own a pet?

I have read that vehicles are inexpensive.
What would be the estimated cost of new or used SUV? In US dollars. Trying to get a comparision to Canadian prices.

Activities
I heard motorsports are popular. My husband is an avid motorcross fan. Is there motorcross in the Emirates.
He was also wondering if there is surfing in the Emirates?
Do they have activities for small children. Mom get together groups that sort of thing? Preschool? How much does it cost to get your PADI liscense or can you get it there?

I heard that it was difficult finding salon hair products. Is this true?

What are the accomodations like in Abu Dhabi. What about purchasing furnishings. What are prices like for furnishings and electronics.


We are very excited to learn more about the Emirates. Everything has been very positive so far. If you can give us any info we would appreciate it.
Thanks so much
