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.

It looked like a shitty place to live, IMO.
They don't have sewage lines either. I guess trucks come and suck the shit out of a septic tank and drive it off to dump it somewhere.

And it's 120 degrees most of the time, unless you are in the shade... where it's 103.

They actually do have sewage lines but they have grown so rapidly that the lines couldn't have kept up. As a TEMPORARY solution, each building instead builds septic tanks so that they don't have to wait on the rest of the city infrastructure to catch up. It's actually not a terrible idea to solve the problem instead of watching growth stagnate.

FAR from perfect, but it isn't like crap is piling up in the streets.

I certainly wouldn't take the position unless the pay was REALLY REALLY going to make up for the massive headaches of living that far from family... and as "cosmopolitan" as it has become, it is still the middle east, so be prepared for that aspect of things.
