Abu Dhabi or Dubai?

17 years ago

Hello,

We are considering a move to the UAE and there seem to be lots of appropriate career opportunities in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai. I would love to hear people's overall impression of both cities, as well as what might be the pros and cons of each.

Just trying to get a sense of which city might be a better fit for us. My husband is looking at construction project management positions. We have three small boys (3yrs old twins and a 10 month old). My background is in public health and international development, but recognize that my opportunities will be limited and will probably be a stay at home mom for our time there.

Thanks in advance!
Liz
