There is no tax here, petrol is cheaper than bottled water: it's a great place, the sun shines for 364 and a half days a year. Schooling is expensive, and because of the heat, sport for kids, out-doors is not good. Boarding schools inOZ/ SA are approx one 3rd of Dubai day schools, and just as good if not better. The money saved can be spent on ID 90's to visit. I'd rather be on Jumeira Beach than Brighton Beach anytime. No comparison.
