Ladies and Gents of EK,
The new Dubai Silicon Oasis Compound (560 villas) is being 'offered' to EK employees... as usual there's a cloud in every silver lining...
The homes will not be landscaped, that will need to be completed at the employee's expense, on top of the cost of your move.
More inconveniently, and potentially more costly, is the fact that the homes are NOT on 'mains water', they are provided with water from a tank, one for each villa. It has about a 400 Imp. Gal. capacity (my personal estimate, I may be way off).
The company is being used to prop up and populate a new compound to make it look like the whole area is 'up and coming'...
As usual, the 'fine details' regarding provision of services and amenities are 'still being negotiated'...
I smell a rat here in the ever dwindling EK package... look for: employees to pay their own utility costs, which of course are three times more expensive for a non-UAE National as they are for UAE Nationals...
Be Careful!
