Hi,

Looking for some advice about a potential move to Abu Dhabi. My husband has been offered a senior position located in Al Raha for 100,000 AED p/m. We'll be moving from the UK with two kids (5&8).

Health insurance, some contribution to private school fees (figure not decided yet), relocation costs, bonus entitlement have been agreed. Accommodation would need to be self funded by us.

Please can you advise e on:

1) Expat areas to live suitable for a young family (initially I wont be working, but hoping to find part time later)

2) British private schools near work/home with high ratings such as outstanding or very good

3) Idea of budget I should expect to pay for rent,聽 utilities, car, home help

4) Families in this situation what has your experience really been like

Really appreciate the advice. Thanks,

@MumOf2 Raha and Yas island both are good communities to stay , I can help with real estate agent contact if needed.

Apart from Raha and Reem you can consider Cornice and TCA as well to the list of places .

For a good 2 BHK it will be in the range of 7K to 9K per month.
