Here are some answers to your post.
1. Single FOs are being moved out of Ain Khalid Gate to make room for families here. Alternatively, if you are joining as a captain then you could be allocated a villa in Al Markhiya or '18' or the 'Pink Villas' compound.
2. Yes.
3. Nowhere within walking distance. Some people walk their dogs around the compound, but it's not ideal.
4. Varies too much depending on my roster to give a useful answer.
The cost of living here is comparable to the UK.
5. I'm not married, but for me the lack of entertainment is the most frustrating aspect of living here - boredom!
6. Don't know. Not on the 777 fleet.
7. There don't seem to be any hard and fast rules, more a case of not causing offense to the locals. Skirts to be knee length or longer. Shoulders should be covered.
8. Not a family man, so don't know.
