Hello chaps

After a little bit of advice in reference to living Dubai. I am looking at a job in Abu Dhabi and at the moment rent there appears to be very expensive - my company will cover it to a point. Is property in Abu Dhabi likely to go the same way as Dubai in the near term or is AD better positioned to ride out the worlds financial storm.

One option I am looking at is living in Dubai and driving to Abu Dhabi for work. A couple of other questions:

Is this viable for a 5 days a week gig?
What would the travel time be each way?
What is the traffic like?
Where would a reasonable place to live in Dubai be with easy access to Abu Dhabi be?
Jebel Ali has been mentioned as a possibility, last time I was there a few years ago it was only a port - has this changed?

Thanks in advance.
