Hi Abed how are you? I am Govind from India. I heard about you a lot from Uday Negi. He is always praising you 😊
MOVING or VISITING 🇦🇪 ABU DHABI soon ? Feel free to fire away any questions and I will get back to you!
Marc, which website do you recommend regarding affordable renting in Abu dhabi?
@@AntonioCaruso906 Hello Saad, as far as I know, the two most well-known websites in the UAE 🇦🇪 are Bayut.com and Property Finder.
@@Marcabed 🙏🙏🙏
Hello Marc! I would like to ask a few questions regarding the schools or kindergartens? Could you please share your experience regarding the child education in Abu Dhabi (costs, quality, environment)?
Hi! My daughter hasn't started school yet. From my understanding, nurseries and schools in the UAE can be expensive, with nurseries costing around $800-$2,000 per month and schools ranging from $10,000 to $40,000 per year. But the quality reputed to be very excellent.
Some employers may offer benefits packages that cover schooling either fully or partially.
Great video. What company did you rent your car from?
Thx Donis, Belhasa Car Rental
Thanks for sharing. Are the numbers you stated in the video in USD?
Hi @algore3462 The numbers mentioned in the video are in AED (United Arab Emirates Dirham), not USD. Let me know if you need any further clarification!
Great video, considering moving. Any particular areas for UK communities and/or English speaking schools please?
Thanks Ryan!
You can definitely find many British on Reem island, Saadiyat, Yas island, Al Zeina, Al Raha. There is British beach club as well where you can meet the largest British community.
As for the schools, I heard popular ones are Cranliegh, Repton, Raha International School, Nord Anglia.. and many more. There are lots of school reviews on moms fb groups: Abu Dhabi Mums, Bumps and Babes Abu Dhabi. Check them out.
Hope that helps!
Thanks a lot
It was wonderful experience listening your video . Do you think if I take a stopover for 2 days I can cover ABHUDHABI well. I love food any recommendation to have good food there (Restaurants). God bless your family.
With a whole 48 hours to explore Abu Dhabi, you've got loads of chances to soak in the city's highlights and check out nearby attractions! 🌆 When it comes to grub, there's a variety to suit every taste bud - check out this link for the lowdown on Abu Dhabi's restaurant scene: th-cam.com/play/PLwT5W0ERRgFjiRNwor3N68G1Hbg9KdHhQ.html&si=uPrfePOXpAW4k4_E
Thank you so much for this video. It was so informative. I am in the process of research as I would like to relocate with my family to teach there.
Can you provide me with some information regarding schools there. My daughter is 9.
Hello @nirvanagovender7194 you are more than welcome :) When it comes to schools in Abu Dhabi, there are indeed many great options available. My wife mentioned that Abu Dhabi Mums members or Bumps & Babes Abu Dhabi groups on facebook are great and will connect you with other parents who can share their experiences and could give you insightful information.
Great, thanks. I am considering a move. Did you bring in your cat(s)?
While living in Abu Dhabi, I rescued my cats from the streets. If you're considering a move and want to bring your furry friend with you, there are specific procedures and requirements to ensure a smooth relocation for your pets.
Is local buses ok to get to the tourist areas places like Heritage village,the Louvre museum. How much are taxi to those areas. Think of visiting in June
The buses are great 😊 and there is a line to go from Abu Dhabi city to the louvre and it’s not expensive, i guess around 15 dirhams, the taxi let’s say 50 dirhams. In June the weather is usually hot so better to use the taxi 🚕
@@Marcabed Thanks for that information
Can you do where you guys always groceries shop with the pricee
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve actually left the UAE, but I’ll share my favorite grocery spots and prices from my time there hopefully soon!!!
The main question is:
How much monthly salary is needed for an individual?
Does it still depends on nationality?
Of course if one has experience, relevant qualification & if the employer needs You, one should be able to negotiate as per their requirements & points mentioned earlier.
I think a person should be getting at least 8K-10K AED per month in a stable job (with company or self rented accommodation). That ways they have enough buffer to save for 1st year. And it goes without saying, that one has to bring some amount of savings from their country in the beginning.
Each person's required salary hinges on factors such as background, qualifications, experience, and financial needs. Recognizing these differences is vital for fair compensation. Additionally, the necessity of bringing money with you varies greatly depending on the individual, job, and opportunities available.
Thanks for the video! I'll be visiting Abu Dhabi next week. Where can I find your food?
Hey @Lordpandemic I recently left the uae 🇦🇪, enjoy your trip and if you have any question don’t hesitate to let me know ☺️
We are Australian but our cultural background is from Pakistan. Can you please suggest some nice mid range area to live in Abu Dhabi for 3 years.
I really enjoyed reem island, i believe it’s a great choice, however there is a variety of website which can help you out 😊
Hello Marc, I'm moving to Abu Dhabi in January 2024, and I will be working in the al Maryah island area. I'll be bringing in my little family.
What are the standard practices in terms of rent ? (Security deposit, insurance, and so on)
Hi @sLouadah to the best of my knowledge, when you consider renting an apartment, your expenses typically include the apartment rental itself, agency fees ranging from 4-5%, a security deposit of 4-5%, as well as deposits for utilities such as electricity, and internet. Property Finder and Bayut are among the most commonly used websites for apartment searches in the Emirates.
@@Marcabed got you many thanks for your help!
Can you please tell what are the job opportunities at Corporate in uae...??
Hello Abi sheikh, you ll have to make your own research online 🧐
Basically we are neighbours! We should do a vlog together 😁
@MaxSalvato i would love to but i moved from Abu Dhabi to Dubai
Hi! Thanks for the information, I will be coming there in a few months under my wifes sponsorship, how do I go about finding a job there as well
Helloo Kegan, you're welcome! That's great to hear. To find a job, I recommend starting with online job portals, networking on LinkedIn, and joining local expat groups. It’s also a good idea to research companies in your field and reach out directly. Good luck with your move!
Are there accommodations away from the noise of the mosks?
Of course, there are many accommodations away from mosques.
Moving over in the next month with a 3 year old, my office will be in yas island uk based currently any good areas? We are looking at yas island so im close to the office
Yas island is an ideal choice, especially when your workplace is nearby. It’s a newly developed area with all the necessities for daily life.
You can also consider Saadiyat island, Al Bandar, or Al Raha areas, depending on your housing budget and the nursery or school you choose for your 3-year old. The shorter the commute from work and school to your house, the better.
Thanks for the advice
The main question is: how did he call you if you had no phone? fun vid
Don't you think people often carry two numbers? 😎
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Do you find it hard to vlog in public around Abu Dhabi may I ask?
Over time, I've adapted to the situation. Just remember to stay within the law and get the necessary permissions for filming in certain locations. Being honest and respectful usually keeps things running smoothly. Vlogging in Abu Dhabi comes with its challenges, but with careful planning and awareness of regulations, it's manageable. And of course, never film individuals without permission-it's against UAE law. Always be mindful of cultural sensitivities and seek permission when needed for a positive experience for everyone involved.
@@Marcabed awesome.. glad to hear that. Keep up the great work on the channel too. Cheers!
I'm coming to Abu Dhabi with visit visa for searching a job? Will I get a job with get caught tho?
Before arriving in Abu Dhabi on a visit visa to search for a job, it is crucial to familiarize yourself with the regulations and guidelines established by the UAE government. All the necessary information can be found online through the official UAE website.
@@Marcabed can you provide me with the proper link?
Simply google uae official page and you’ll have all the details and websites your looking for 😊
Thinking of moving from California, how is it with tolerance for practicing Christianity? Are there any Christian schools for children?
Is English spoken in Abu Dhabi
English is widely spoken in Abu Dhabi, alongside Arabic, and is commonly used in business, tourism, and everyday interactions, especially in international settings.
5 thousand to groceries? You meant probably 5 hundred?
I'm speaking in dirhams for a family of 3, covering groceries, diapers, cleaning supplies, cat food, litter, and other essentials. This translates to about 1000 to 1300 USD, but it can vary based on where the family lives in the UAE, their lifestyle choices, how they shop, and other factors. These costs reflect what's typical for a family of three living here.
@@Marcabed Makes sense!
Can you bring your dog? Purebred.
While the UAE generally allows pets to be brought into the country, there are specific regulations and requirements to follow, such as obtaining the necessary permits, vaccinations, and health certificates for your dog. It's important to research and comply with the UAE's pet import regulations before bringing your dog with you.
It might be high but you are paying 0 taxes lol
