PE teacher moving to Al Ain in August 2015

Phenom87 · 2015-04-16T11:20:42+02:00

Hi all! I, along with my wife and young son, will be moving from Glasgow to Al Ain this August. Accepted a position at Al Ain Men's College. Have only ever been to Dubai on holiday before so was wondering people's thoughts on Al Ain? Especially for a young family. If people had any further information regarding the school itself and/or teaching differences or any other info that would be really appreciated too! Thanks in advance!

Not heard too much to be honest but what I have seems to be relatively positive.聽 Take it you start on 16th Aug too?聽 I got my flight details through today and arrive in Abu Dhabi on the 15th.

Congrats mate you are nearly there. I am miles behind. Still no infor regarding travel to Al Ain.
Hopefully we will be able to help each other settle down. Are you coming over with family?

Hopefully it all gets sorted asap for you then.聽 The wait can be a pain but surely your flights will be done by the end of this week if we are expected to start in just over a couple of weeks time.聽聽Yeah my wife and son will be coming out later, around 3/4 weeks later from what i've been told.聽 Hoping it won't be any longer than that anyway.

Yea I hope so. The waiting is a real pain. I want to book a short holiday before we leave but can't do that until I know travel dates for sure. So fingers crossed for golden tickets tomorrow.
