Abu Dhabi top 5

What's your top 5 for Abu Dhabi? Eating and drinking places, taking into account quality, price, atmosphere, view, service, etc.

I would give you mine, but since I've been here I've probably only been to five places in total, so it wouldn't be worth much.

Bike Shopping

Hi,

Does anyone know if bike component prices are any cheaper in Dubai (not motorbikes)?

Dubai Youth Hostel

Just giving a heads-up on the Dubai Youth Hostel. Stayed there for one night in July. There seems to be mixed opinions about the hostel but I had a fairly positive experience.

The hostel is housed in a large compound. There's a outdoor swimming pool, which I wasn't in the mood for due to it being a hundred degrees Celsius outside and apparently a gym as well. I had a bed in a four- bed dorm which was UAE 95. The room was spotless and new, with air-conditioning and hot showers all working…

Friends,

This coming Eid holidays, I along with my wife, daughter and a cousin are thinking of a road trip to Doha from Abu Dhabi. We are Indian passport holders, with valid UAE residence visas.

I (German) and my Czech girlfriend will have a stopover in Dubai for 2 days in October. As a Czech citizen she is not eligible for the easy on-arrival visa so we applied for the 96h transit visa at our airline (Emirates). We were told the visa can only be applied 4 weeks prior to the transit. Applied on time and still waiting.

Starting to worry a bit if there is no chance to obtain the 96h transit visa Dubai airport in case Emirates screws up providing the visa.

Any experiences?

Hi, I got my master's degree in mechanical engineering this summer.

Now im thinking of coming to Dubai to get a job. tried to do it through the Internet but seems it's so much easier just to come and seek!
Im planing to come in October the 5th! so ill need a place to stay till i get a job.

Im sure im not the first person who does that. So I would be grateful if anybody could provide any information about places to stay in, or any experience about employment for engineers.

Thanks for your…
