About Al Ain: Al Ain is an oasis city, equidistant - about 1.5 hrs drive - from Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It is quieter than its neighbour cities but what it lacks in towering high rise buildings, it makes up for in greenery, friendlienss and opportunities to meet likeminded people. The cost of living here is lower than Dubai and Abu Dhabi making it a better money-saving opportunity.
Expats get together very easilty through hotel pool clubs, sports clubs and interest clubs (such as drama, running, camping, gaelic football etc). There are lots of expats about both at international schools as well as working in state schools so you will find it very easy to make friends. Al ain\'s more suburban feel means that school jobs are slightly less competitive than Dubai and Abu Dhabi city so many teachers get their first step on the rung of their international careers here. It\'s a friendly, welcoming, green and modern city.
