Welcome to Dubai Expatriate Blog
Well. This is the first post in the blog.
Honestly, I don’t really like blogs when it comes to complex information. Like a relocation.
Having found some usuful info in a blog, you are likely to end up with seeking through ‘categories’, ‘tags’ and ‘archives’. I will use blog to publish some stuff about living in the city – going out, eating some good stuff, having ball, etc. But all the complex matters like visas and finding an apartment are going to be in the home index.
I still have to finish that. Until it has been done, there won’t be anything in the blog.

Hi. Firstly, congrats on an excellent site. I’m looking to relocate to Dubai fairly soon and this is one of the most useful resources I’ve found.
My question is about television, what is available there? Cable, satellite, terrestial etc and costs including dish, box if required?
Many Thanks
Jim
Thank you! The TV is mostly cable. You will get the core channels like CNN or BBC in the basic package and you will have to pay extra for anything else. You can also buy a satellite one. I don’t watch TV too much, so I can’t really advise on prices. But it is handy available in shopping malls, so you won’t have any issues setting it up.
Hi Excellent site! Thank you so much!! I’m moving to Dubai in June (if the planes ever fly again)and have found this site very useful. Haven’t got any burning questions right now, but sure I will have.
Cheers
Sarah
Thank you Sarah. Please feel free to ask any questions.
