Hi, I am new to this forum. I'm planning to move to abu dhabi next year middle. My company had already made arrangements with armstrong moving to process everything related to moving overseas from Canada. This is my first time . I recently read a blog http://www.armmove.com/en/blog/moving-tips/eight-tips-for-moving-abroad-for-the-first-time/ Is there anything else that i should take care of?.I am also worried about the difference in culture as i am moving with my family?. Please share some tips with me.

Am coming to work for 3 months. Not with an Abu Dhabi contract so no housing included. I looked for a place to stay (i only need a private bedroom) on AirBnb, but can't find anything affordable. My employer would pay for the hotel (as he did few months ago) but now i would have to share with an unknown person (might be smoker, drinker or whatever) I do not like hotel life as it is anyway. Any suggestions ? THANKS !

Hi, My wife and I are visiting Abu Dhabi in a cupple of weeks as I have a job interview. If hired we will move from Denmark with our two kids. While visiting for the interview my wife would like to learn more about Abu Dhabi life as an expat family. Would anybody be able to help? Kind regards Mikael

Hi Mikael,

For a general overview, you might like to take a look at our Kids and Family in Abu Dhabi page. For more details, it would be best to speak to other families who have already moved there. Because you've posted this comment on an inactive thread, other visitors to the forum aren't likely to see your post - you will most likely have better luck finding someone by creating a new thread in the Abu Dhabi forum.

Kind regards
Meagan
