Dubai Housing/Schooling

[sandune]

Please, what’s the latest on EK’s housing allowance for:
F/Os:
Capts:

Approximately how much does it really cost for a 4 Bedroom place (3 Teenagers in Secondary school). No need for 5 stars BUT, close to Secondary school, good A/C, easy access to pool (or resident’s club) would be great?

How much does it really cost for Secondary school (international)?

Thank you

Hi sand dune-

Would love to give you some of the gen but Oblaaspop will probably shoot me down in flames,however, as I understand it secondary education at the moment is oversubscribed in Dubai-this is improving but slowly-there are lots of new schools being built-depending on the school-prices range from 30,000dhs-60,000dhs a year??? I am sure there will be differing ranges.

Housing depends on where you are looking-looking to rent or buy?Any where from 100,000 dhs for 4 bed to 300,000+,the closer to schools ammenities the higher the asking price.have a look on www.Explorer-Publishing.com some good gen in that.Any other stuff look at other thread-living in Dubai-or PM me.

Allowances may change come Wed
Company still to provide villa for family, might change to allowance and you find your own, that will be hard.
