South Africans in the UAE

Geplaatst in Abu Dhabi forum 04 Aug 2013, 22:51

Hi all,

I am a native English teacher from South Africa. I am presently working in Kuwait and I am considering moving to one of the UAE states such as Abu Dhabi, Dubai or Fujairah. I have been to Abu Dhabi and Dubai before on holiday. Can anybody tell me about their experiences in the UAE as a South African. What are the good experiences and what are the bad experiences? Is it worth the move?
