Hi all
I'm new to the forum and I might be moving to Abu Dhabi in the near future,but would like to hear from South African expats in Abu Dhabi about living there.
My main concern is my children's education(fortunately they're not in school yet)
How do I make contact with an ex South African?
Please advise.

Hi there, i am in the process of moving to ad, i live in the uk now and my husband is already in ad. Getting children into school here are very difficult hence my husband being here and us still in the uk. We will be coming out permanently in sep as i have now finally secured a school place. You need to apply really early so that you can get your cildren onto a waitlist, also the norm here is to apply to a few schools and take what you can get, then move them when your school of choice becomes available.

Hope that helps a little, anything else just shout! Good luck
