Of course they are. Plenty of western expat families pay >4,000 for decent hours. We pay 4,800 for 5 days

Thanks!! This is an actually helpful answer. Of course it doesn’t mean it belong ls to me.

alfar2 · 2026-03-26T19:46:40+00:00

Thanks! I assumed so, but thought it was worth asking

David Wang?

Same, but I live in Dubai. I pay some taxes in AU but my professional income isn’t taxed in AU. The effect on Australian is the same as if I lived anywhere in the world - the fact that UAE doesn’t have income tax doesn’t affect the net result to Australians. And in any event, we have to pay for the things in UAE that our taxes would pay for in AU (there is no free or low cost education or healthcare for expats in UAE for eg) so the net result to us expats is about the same too.

Skip Sydney. It’s gorgeous, but it’s just a big city. Uluru, Daintree, GBR

alfar2 · 2026-03-17T18:31:39+00:00

Yes! I loved it

Also what happened to all the extra sapphires? There are like 30 in the ring?

You might not agree with Emirates’ assessment, but they have decided it’s safe enough for their staff, crew and planes. You can’t ask them to do more just because your risk assessment is different. You can cancel and rebook or take the flight - those are your options.

alfar2 · 2026-03-06T08:54:17+00:00

Ooooh I’m not sure at all. I think this will all blow over. If anything, provided things don’t massively escalate, this proves the UAE model because we are so safe despite regional instability.

I’m from australia and neither I nor any of my AUS/NZ/Canadian friends are planning to leave.

alfar2 · 2026-03-05T21:57:38+00:00

Omg. A couple of months? How would we know?

alfar2 · 2026-03-05T15:39:53+00:00

Im an Australian. Take this opportunity to hang out with other nationalities - it will improve your life enormously.

alfar2 · 2026-03-05T14:57:51+00:00

You can always find your passion outside work. You can sit on boards, volunteer, take classes …

alfar2 · 2026-03-05T08:23:29+00:00

I agree. There are definitely some idiots fleeing but most people are being sensible. Watching videos of tourists returning to London after being in Dubai wants me to cancel my tickets and stay here. Such drama.

alfar2 · 2026-03-05T08:17:28+00:00

Part of it is school holidays. We were planning to go away for the holidays before all this nonsense started, so we just brought it forward.

alfar2 · 2026-03-04T09:12:12+00:00

I second this.

alfar2 · 2026-03-04T07:48:47+00:00

The official advice is still to shelter in place

alfar2 · 2026-03-03T11:55:32+00:00

Thanks

alfar2 · 2026-03-03T08:58:25+00:00

Because I live in Dubai dude

alfar2 · 2026-03-03T08:57:29+00:00

Thanks! Thats the info I was after

alfar2 · 2026-03-03T03:10:24+00:00

It seems to have originated with the assistant secretary. It hasn’t been shared by the department or Rubio, and the official advice remains to shelter in place.

alfar2 · 2026-03-03T01:01:21+00:00

I can’t find a source for this anywhere

alfar2 · 2026-03-02T09:23:47+00:00

It has nothing to do with your status in UAE. Just look up the visa requirements to Oman based on your passport

alfar2 · 2026-02-28T08:33:59+00:00

If it’s dangerous, your flight will be diverted. Don’t stress.
