Howdy,

Has anyone lived or is living in Abu Dhabi, or know anything about it? DH has randomly stumbled onto a job and so I am wanting to find out a bit more about it.

We have four kids, 3 that are school aged. I understand that there are really good international schools over there and the lifestyle is meant to be really good. I've only ever seen the inside of the airport lol (can't say much for the toilets tbh!).

Thanks in advance :)

good luck!!! here is a website that will be able to help!!!http://www.expatwoman.com/forum/ we dont live in AD but about 40 min plane ride away
We Have lived in the ME for 4 Amazing years!!! And it is with slight trepidation that we are returning to the real world!! You will find amazing friends that will be like family. Given the oppertunity to travel to places easily. and give your children the most amazing experience!!!!!
After the initial culture shock, you will be suprised how quickly it feels like home. housing medical and schooling can be quite expensive, but is usually covered in some way in your package. let me know if you need any other info!!! good luck with your decision!!

Thanks :) I'll be sure to bug you if we go further with it... just at the start of the process now (and still need to get permission from the bio mum to take the kids).
