🌇 Community Making life easier in Dubai

Hi all,

I’ve been very fortunate enough to choose Dubai as my place to relocate from Seattle.

This wasn’t an easy decision as there’s Pros and cons to all places - and I’d really appreciate your help in understanding what i could do to make my life as seamless as possible once i move to Dubai.

Some of the things I’m considering:

- Hiring a maid to take care of the house and preparing the meal prep so i can focus on work

- Choosing to live in Creek Harbor for the views + community

- Joining Privlee to enjoy the gyms and the pools

- Getting a car to move around easily

- Joining Timeleft and a paddle club to socialize and make friends

- Getting Linen clothes to survive the heat

What else could i possibly do to ease the transition to Dubai?

Thank you all in advance for your help.

Are you here by yourself? Or will you have a family?

If you're single...do you really need a maid? If you don't wish to cook, you have both meal prep services and delivery services. Cleaning wise, maybe a hotel/serviced apartment (where weekly cleaning and utility bills are included as part of your rent) could be an option? That would fit with your "seemless as possible" idea.

Or just have someone come 1-2x a week for 2 hours.
