My husband and I taught at the UAE University 25 years ago. We lived just north of the Jimi mall, so near where you are. We loved it there!! When we came, we were put up in the Hilton for week which gave us time to get situated. We were also lucky enough to have bought the furnishings of the teacher whose flat we moved into, so didn’t have much that we needed to go out and find. That was a great help, especially with three kids. We had such fun finding things like dishes at the souq. I really miss Al Ain.

Heyy I would appreciate some guidance if you can. I'm planning to sit the CELTA qualification so I qualify to teach in Saudi this year. I can either do the August course or September course. The September course works better for me but I am concerned that finishing in September might reduce my teaching job prospects in Saudi as the school year would've already started in August/September? Is this correct? Do you think finishing the course at the end of September will significantly negatively impact my chances of finding a job and that I should really do the August course?

This depends on what your school offers as some offer these expenses too… I paid my phone bill for the year which cost me around 2000aed Electricity/water is around 300-500aed for the month (time of year depending and household depending) Car costs vary - hire cars likely cost minimum of 1700aed a month but if you’re buying you can get finance or pay in cash. Fuel is very cheap.. a full tank currently costs me 150AED.

I noticed that you are a little too discreet with information that is a little personal such as the exact name or address of your building and the amount of rent that you (or your school) pay. However, I will go ahead and ask my question anyway and if I get an answer fine; if not, that is also fine. I was interested in knowing which school you are teaching in since that apartment looks like a rather expensive apartment. I thought I had it good when I was given a studio/efficiency in a wonderful area of the city that I call "downtown". It was only a ten minute walk from Khalifa street. But, to be given such a nice ONE BEDROOM apartment near Jimi Mall is a different matter. Obviously the school where you are teaching is very generous with its teachers when it comes to providing them with free accommodation. So, I just wanted to know which school this is. I have no intention of applying to any schools in Al Ain and my question about the identity of your school is simple curiosity. I taught at Al Dhafra Private Schools during the 2009-10 school year and I absolutely detested teaching secondary school. I LOVED Al Ain (my second favorite city in the WORLD!) and I loved the school, but I could not handle secondary school students and their lack of discipline. Therefore, Al Ain and secondary school teaching are both behind me. Hence, my question is due to simple curiosity. If you would like to answer me I would be very happy to hear from you; if you prefer to be discreet about it I will understand.

I will still keep my school private but I can say my apartment costs 30k dirham a year. I feel that’s a fairly average price in Al Ain.. I know people who top up for nicer living options (newer apartments/villas) etc.. also if you lived in Dubai the cost of accommodation is considerably higher, and schools still provide their teachers with this for free (for the most part)..
