Any advice on schools and areas to stay in Abu Dhabi?

I don't have any personal experience to speak from, but from what I've read online, it should take about two to three weeks.

Hi Chiggins,

Congrats on your future move. We have a page about the various suburbs in Abu Dhabi which you might find useful. Some family-friendly areas are mentioned on that page - namely Al Karamah, Al Rowdah and Al Mushrif, and Al Muroor. All these areas are in the vicinity of good schools, so they might be worth looking into. More info here: Areas and Suburbs in Abu Dhabi.

As far as recommendations for individual schools go, have a look at our International Schools in Abu Dhabi page. We have an extensive and comprehensive list of the best schools in the city with lots of information, including curriculum (I assume you'll be looking for UK curriculum as that's where you're moving from - there are a number of schools offering this).

How soon will you be moving? Have you arranged your visa yet?
