Are we realistic
Hi guys firstly I hav'nt applied to Emirates yet but could I ask you guys who are already living and working there am I being realistic of how I feel my families life could run out in the UAE. First me, I work for a reputable uk airline RH seat with possibly 2-3 years before a shot at the LH seat, we have two kids age 8 and 3, my misses is a qualified primary teacher but currently works in HE teaching ESOL ( English to speakers of other languages ). We both would want to work in Dubai if we opted to go, however my reservation are, 1. Is it feasible and practical for both parents to be working, ie school runs etc, 2. what age do young children start school in Dubai, 3. Are there any schools on the complexes where emirates place families to live, I have visited Dubai quite extensively and would be horrified at my misses driving on those busy roads to get to work and the kids to school ! Of course if I was around I would do it. And finally a topic that would be nice to know, would we both qualify for the housing and utilities allowance in our respective professions or can just one working partner claim it ? I appreciate that most of my answers could be found if I was to spend time looking through the various threads but in a quest to save time I figured I would just ask directly. Thanks to anyone who replies with any constructive and informative answers.
Regards.
