Well, after many weekends of treking backwards and forwards between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, we have finally found our new house. A lovely villa, about a year old, on a well-known Dubai estate called the Springs. Has swimming pool, gym and shops all within about 3 mins (count 'em!) walk, and a small garden with a view over a beautiful lake. Perfect. You can get a (sort of) idea about what it is like here (villa type 2 Middle, if you're interested!).
Although I must admit that it was getting to the point where we getting ready to say we'd live anywhere if only it meant we didn't have to spend another weekend going up to Dubai (90 mins each way, driving through... well, nothing much but sand) to house hunt. Needless to say, Jack made plain his disapproval with having spent the best part of another weekend in the car.
But nevermind, the money is paid now and the contract will be signed tomorrow. Can move in as quickly as this weekend but will most likely be sometime in March. Had to sign up there and then for fear of losing the property as things move quickly here in the property world. Shame the same can't be said for anything else (bureacracy, traffic, etc).
Now all we need to do is buy all the furniture...
