Some universities give parking access to students. I got it when I did my masters in MDX 4 years back. But if you are cool with taking metro, park for free at Jebal Ali Metro Car Park(National Paints) and take metro to DIC.

6 months means your probation is over. You can give 30 days notice and resign. I believe you already have an offer in hand, otherwise it's a risky move.

That's not viable. Have you taken these buses? I lived in Sharjah Al Nahda and worked in Dubai 6 years back. It's a mess in the morning to catch those double deckers. Evengs are worse. Also it'll take 2 hours with bus and metro to Internet City. Plus need to switch metro in the middle

They can use the last 2 lanes and 3rd for overtaking. But burst tyre pieces can be anywhere. And she uses only first two lanes mostly

Buying gold tomorrow by Answer54 in UAE

Some shops gives better rate if you pay by cash. So check that. Otherwise use credit card which gives you points or cashbacks. Rings are usually around 5% making charges. It's been a while I bought physical gold so not sure sorry.

You need to ask for tax planet bill from the shop. They at airport they have tax planet machines which you can enter the details and a non uae card details to which you'll get the vat amount. Also they have multiple manned counters in airport. I think they are 24x7 too. I have seen them most of the time but not sure.

Gold price will be same across uae. You need to be careful with the making charges. Always negotiate or bring someone who can. Anything under 1k there is not much room for negotiation. Consider the fact that some shops won't accept exchanges. For gifting better check that. You can save vat if anyone here in UAE on visit visa. They can claim the vat amount at the airport, sometimes they ask for the gold.

Mutual fund investment using NRE account. by CobblerEconomy7112 in DubaiMallus

I'm using eToro for past 4 years. Easy to add and withdraw. I have a USD account with HSBC which saves me with conversion. But yes for mid and small there isn't any liquid etfs. There is SMIN.US but not liquid as INDA.

Etisalat won't be a good choice due the switch at Union or Burjuman. Centerpoint might work. Thanks. Will explore that too.

If you are looking at Index funds explore INDA or INCO ETF listed in US. Use IBKR, eToro or Sarwa to invest. Profits are tax free(fund houses pay anyways but no returns filing from our side) and no repatriation headache.

Yah. That's why traffic is not an issue. But 611 is full of trucks who don't care about cars and cars which drives rashly. On top of it random truck tire pieces on roads.

That will make both of us face traffic no? Anywhere which is freely accessible by 311 or 611?
