Hi.

My husband and I are interested in Dubai. We enjoy traveling and learning new things. And helping others. Can you tell me anything that is important for our next journey.

What's is like living there?
Cost of living?
Should we sale our home here in the states? I really don't want to give our home up. Can you live in Dubai and pay our mortage here?

Any and all constructive feedback would be great!

How do I go about getting a job?
Is that 5000 aed on top of your wages?

I've been researching but different information. I thought it would be great if I spoke with someone that is already there.

Can we be pen pals if so when we arrive we can know someone. They say it's good to do that.

Wages depends upon the profession you are. Sales profession is the one you can adopt here easily.then after getting experience you can get between 10 to 15k.

Thanks & Regards
