Current Recruitment Situation in Dubai by Saud1979
Hi Members, I just realized, I should let everyone know what is going on in terms of opportunities in Dubai. Post recession (I'd like to call it 'post' since we are back on track fortunately), life is tougher for a 'job seeker'. Imagine being ...
Great write up filled with useful suggestions! I've personally found most recruiters in my industry (shipping) to be a useless lot while personal connections are the best way forward. Hence, i agree 100 pct with you that everyone should be using ... Read More
Travelling with over $100k cash by frazzla
Hi Guys, I'm curious to know what happens if you declare at the airport that you are travelling with over $100k. I presume there would be some paperwork involved but would the amount be taxed and what sort of documentation, if any, would you need? ...
@Jazzy, Indeed. I agree with you both and appreciate your wise advise. I wish there was another way to make the transaction without incurring the fees and 2 commissions but I've decided against taking the risk. Cheers, Fraz Read More

Hi William, Thanks again for your kind wishes. I've just done a search on my name in Google and discovered much to my satisfaction that I am a level 90 crusader on WOW and also a cool dude Russian biker. So, to any baddies out there: be warned, I ... Read More
Life in ABHA by rans11215
Hi all. I am about to ship out to Abha, KSA. Does anyone in Saudi know anything about the place? I'd like a few opinions to asses my options... For example, what's accommodation like, transportation and going to Jeddah and Dubai - what's that ...
Hi Randall, I'm very envious of your trip to Abha and I'm sure you will enjoy it!! I've been there quite a few times and can recommend a few things to do there depending on what you're after. First off, you'll need to rent a reliable 4x4 as the ... Read More

Paper work? You assume wrongly - in fact in most countries you will find yourself arrested on the spot for trying to bring that kind of currency into the country. In most nations it is a criminal offense to bring in more than USD $10,000.Sorry if I ... Read More

Hi William, I appreciate the wisdom of your words but could you clarify whether you are referring specifically to Singapore or speaking in general? Why would you be arrested for taking money that's already declared at customs? Surely it's your ... Read More

Stopping Hair loss? by mohamed715
Does anyone know any places in Jeddah that can help with hair loss/ growing back hair on a bald patch? With NO SIDE EFFECTS of course!
I'm 33 and having the same problem despite leading a healthy lifestyle. I put it down to genetics, shower water and stress but sadly there's nothing I can do about that!! I would opt for the wig option if they have 'em in bright Saudi green. Hey! ... Read More
Hiring live in maids in Dubai by frazzla
Hi All, Wondering if anyone can advise on the process of hiring a live in maid in Dubai. Is it easy and straight forward? What's the typical salary and where do I begin the search? Thanks in advance! Cheers, Fraz
Hey nevermore! Thanks for the help! I've been looking into the matter a bit more as you suggested and was happy to discover a big market for helpers in Dubai. As an employer I guess you'd need to be a resident of Dubai first as a prerequisite ... Read More

Improved jobs section by removing old and vague positions? by frazzla
Just a thought but trawling through the jobs section can be a tedious and gloomy task particularly when you find something that could be of interest was posted over a year ago!! It might be a good idea to filter older posts and those with very ...
