Hello

Well, you gotta be careful when you say Madinat Zayed!!!  Cos there is a suburb/locality within Abu Dhabi City called Madinat Zayed and then there is an area outside Abu Dhabi City on the way to Ruwais and the Saudi Arabia border (well not all that far anyway) which is also called Madinat Zayed and goes by the name of Bida Zayed.

If it is the second Madinat Zayed/Bida Zayed - which is closer to Musaffah, then I think you may be in for a bit of a shock - sad to say that there were no shopping malls the last time I went to MZD - it is basically a one street town which goes to sleep by 7.30 or 8 pm at the latest with next to nothing to do.

Let me know the name of the company that you will be working for and I will try and see where they are located.

Good luck in the move.

Cheers

I will be working with al mansoori production services in mussafah but I don't wanna live there cause I heard that is a labour city I have been directed to live in MBZ which is closer I guess. Do
you recommend Any other good city?

I am sure the area that is being mentioned in MBZ - Mohamed Bin Zayed City which is close to Mussafah and I think one could get decent villas in MBZ.  MBZ is definitely closer to Mussafah and I am sure you will not face the same difficulties that are being faced by the Abu Dhabi city dwellers who spend a fair amount of time looking for parking slots in the late evenings.

So I would recommend MBZ - Mohamed Bin Zayed which is located close to Mussafah.

Anything else I can help with, do let me know.

Good luck with the move and happy settling down in Abu Dhabi.

Cheers

MBZ is just across the other side of the E22 from Musaffah. There is plenty of accommodation available there.

Hi Meriem,
Actually there is a mall in Madinat Bin Zayed, Meziad Mall with Lulu supermarket on the gr floor, other shops and restaurant on the top, i think you can find a suitable flat on that area, about six months ago i was looking for flat and i visited that area, i remember that some compound were pretty much good if you compare to Abu Dhabi standards.
You may look also in Khalifa A, it is near to Musifah also with an easy access.
Bayn Al Jissreen is a better place for living but more expensive, depends of your budget.
Wish you a good start in your new Job at Abu Dhabi.
