Anyone ever live in Dubai?
I have an oportunity for a position in Dubai. It would most likely be a 2-3 year conract. My wife and kids would stay in the US.

Anyone have any experience with Dubai? What should I require salary wise? I have been doing some research and it appears it is common for them to include housing, maid service, travel, etc. with ex-pat offers. Government provides healthcare with all jobs.

Cost of living is pretty high, but if I can get the salary I am asking for and all the other benifets above, it would be pretty sweet. Especially if travel is part of the deal so I could come home every few months to see the family.

All I know of Dubai is that it's super rich, super nice, and super expensive. Oh, and that they pay Tiger Woods ****tons of cash to come play in their tournament. I assume this position you're offered will pay YOU ****tons of cash?

Thanks for the info. I will read the contract carefully (and have it reviewed before signing - have a couple attorneys in the family). I have been researching and know it has a high cost of living, but hope to have that mitigated some with the employment contract. Leaving my family would be the toughest part, but would make sure that travel is part of the deal - either me coming home or them visiting. My wife does payroll for US expats (for a US company) and says 10 weeks on 2 weeks off is pretty standard.

Love how if you further your career by doing something ballsy like this you are looked at as why on earth are you leaving your family, but if you are in the military it's all fine and gravy. OP may very well be in the military, but a strong family and video chat should help you get through

I had this same discussion with one of my daughters tonight. Kind of sweet that at 14 and freshman in HS that she is still upset that I may not be here to hug all the time (her concern).

Guess I am doing something right.

Oh man. You have a 14 year old daughter and you are thinking of leaving for 2-3 years? If you do that you'll miss some incredible time that you just can't get back.

Never lived there but visited quite a few times when I was in the military. It's very nice. You can go skiing in the mall. Not sure about living expenses, but food and souvenir items were reasonable compared to other middle east countries I visited. I enjoyed visiting but not sure if I would want to live there. It has the typical foot and cheetoh smell of most of the middle east I visited. Cats are everywhere.

I watched a show on Discover last night, that said that Dubai is the least green city in the whole world... everything is built around driving cars as much as possible, as they want people to buy a lot of gas. lol.

It looked like a shitty place to live, IMO.
