What do I need to know before moving to Abu Dhabi?

"Before moving to Abu Dhabi, expats should be aware of the local laws and customs. It is important to respect the local culture and dress modestly in public. Expats should also be aware of the hot climate and the need to stay hydrated. Additionally, expats should research the cost of living in Abu Dhabi and the availability of housing. It is also important to research the job market and the availability of healthcare services. Finally, expats should be aware of the visa requirements and the process for obtaining a visa," said another expat in Abu Dhabi, the UAE.

"Make sure you negotiate with your employer to cover your accommodation or include high accommodation allowance. Living in a compound in a villa is the best choice - one can find many European expatriates to be among with," wrote a member who made the move to Abu Dhabi, UAE.
