I don't really think it matters which set of villas it is- within the next few years all the company villas will be in Meydan. Moving anywhere else now will only mean moving again in a couple of years. Or possibly months.

At least this is one aspect of the company messing with our lives we have some control over. We can't do anything about 100 hour rosters and four day blocks of forced leave in February but we can still take the allowance and choose where to live. You won't get a four bedroom palace in Jumeirah for the money but you can do better than Meydan. You may need to top up the allowance a little bit but what price being free of the less than accommodating accommodation department? Or buy somewhere- after 20 years (if you stay that long) the company has bought you a house. Has to be a better bet than the provident fund even in the Dubai property market.
