Now for something different - CARS by dinky
Can we import our Dubai cars or would that be really difficult? And if we do, is it easy to have cars serviced there - like proper agency services? I amm talking of a Pajero and a Mustang.
Thanks Mo that info is really helpful :-) Read More

Nah no kids, just me and my maid - I'd rather have to travel each month than be separated from my husband for what sounds like months on end ..... Read More

Thanks - yes, that's what it looks like we'll have to do. I hope it's not the same with a container of furniture ... It's starting to scare me moving to Libya :( Read More

Oh dear - big decision to leave them behind then :( Do they calculate the 40% on the price of a new car or what it's worth now ... might still be worth bringing in the Pajero.... Read More

A serious question ...... by dinky
... re cost of living. We are looking for a job in Libya - my husband is a Cost Consultant/Commercial Manager in Project Management and the first company who interviewed him asked him what he wants as a salary. How can he quote a sum when we've ...

So where does the 30-day visa come in?? I'm now assuming that if one is working for a large expat company, they will get one a residence permit (for a year or two??). Then the husband sponsors the wife ... is this where the 30-day visa comes ... Read More

Forgive me if I'm going to put my foot in it but if one has a VPN, surely then you can use Skype to landline and Skype to Skype?? In Dubai Skype is totally blocked but we all have VPN and we all use it anyway :-) Read More

Sleepy Hollow - Again thanks for responding. I make my own bread anyway so that's one thing I am definitely safe about; though I do like Arab flat bread too. Libya sounds a lot cheaper than Dubai - we pay 3 times the rent you pay there and we have ... Read More
