Moving to Abu Dhabi in May

15 years ago

Greetings all,

I am moving to AD with my wife and 3 kids in May 2009. I am currently looking at finding a house, and gathering some information about life for wife and kids over there.

I have a company villa provided in Sas Al Nakhl but it looks too small (I visited recently). I now have an opportunity in Khalifa City A for a much larger villa, but I do not know the area at all.

As for schools, the kids (they are 7, 5 and 1.5) most likely will go to Al Yasmina or Al Raha International.

My questions are:

- Does anyone have interesting links to refer for life in AD in general? Especially family stuff to do.

- Dos anyone have comments/suggestions for finding a 4 bed villa? Not that we do not want to live in AD downtown because we hate noise/traffic

- How is Khalifa City A today? How is family life there? What is there to do for families?

Last but not least, if you know of any property available around that date for around 250/270K please let me know! :)

Thank you so much.
