[quote=Anonymous]Kids in Dubai are required to learn Arabic - they don't learn a lot of Arabic because most people speak English, but if they are interested, there are many opportunities to learn. My daughter had a private tutor for Arabic because she was quite interested. If you are looking at Dubai, make sure that you consider what school you are going to - some are better than others. There are a lot of for-profit GEMS schools, and some are better than others too. Look at Dubai American Academy, for example. There is also ASD, widely considered the best American school there - it's also a non-profit. The schools closer to Mirdif are more likely to have less American students. Teachers are always in demand because there are so many schools - read your contract carefully though to make sure you are protected in case anything should happen. My kids went to Kings - a British school which is quite good - I'm not sure if they hire American teachers. My friend owned Victory Heights school and a few other schools - she is lovely and great to her teachers.

Dubai though, is much, much more expensive than say, Thailand. It's a great place to live but expect a lot of unexpected expenses.
