Hello readers. After months of deliberation and a good job offer I have made the leap and am moving to Abu Dhabi, a daunting prospect as alone. I am working on Saadiyat island which is lovely but rather expensive, so I want to commute, I'm not a fan of living in the clouds so a humble one bed room secure pad would suffice, in moderate driving distance from the island. Then buy a car, etc etc. I have looked at dubizzle but really don't have a clue on neighbourhoods and my bearings at the moment. Look forward to any suggestions. Thanks in advance Michael
