Living in Dubai: Sobha Hartlands Tour

[@ashleykearsley8542]

Great video! For the traffic around Hartland International School, what time in the morning is the worst and how long would you expect to be stuck there? What time does it go back to normal? What are the busy times in the afternoon? Does it impact entry into sobha creek vistas? Thanks 😊

Hey Ashley - we've decided to put ourselves through this pain for you :) We're going to make a video of 'school traffic' if we lived outside of Hartlands. Will be live in a few weeks :) Hope it helps

[@ashleykearsley8542]

Amazing!! Thanks so much ❤️

thank you for sharing ..

Hi guys, awesome contents thanks a lot! We’re moving to Dubai in September, however we quitted our jobs because we don’t wanna stay in Germany anymore. Our aim is to find there an apartment to buy to get the golden visa. We only focus on Marina. However, after watching your videos I thought where you live could be an option as well. If you don’t mind I would like yo know why you guys didn’t go for marina? And how you ended up there. Just because of schools or is there any other reason. Thanks in advance. Regards

Marina is horrible for traffic and commuting. Also if you are looking to be near water then look at Creek Harbour project by Emaar. There will be private beach and lagoons there. Sobha is high quality but it’s part of MBR city. It’s a great place to live but amenities compared to Dubai Hills and Creek Harbour are not that many. If you are looking to live in good community where you have tons of shops, mall, and many restaurant then always look for project built by Emaar as they build great communitities.

[@ourdubaidiary]

Yes, we love Marina but we wanted to be able to walk to the school that is why we chose Sobha Hartlands and we are enjoying it 🙌🏼 Congrats on your move, any questions please let us know as happy to help ☺️

@@SA-ht1id which building would you sugges at Creek Harbour?

[@binafrique7223]

If u don't mind, can u tell us the school fee per year. U already told us the school bus fee.

[@ourdubaidiary]

For an 8 and 10 year old it works out around £29k per year for them both (plus associated costs like school kits etc) . The fees are in most school websites and charge by the term. We had to pay 5% deposit once the kids had passed their assessment, and we also got a sibling discount as two kids going to same school

[@ksamuels3116]

What are your thoughts on living in Damac hills 2? I'm considering it purely due to cost

[@ourdubaidiary]

We really liked the community there but didn’t want the commute to school - as we had committed to Hartlands. We’re thinking about doing walk arounds of other communities , would this help?

@@ourdubaidiary yes please, that would be great, thank you

Very informative and to the point. Thanks.🎉😅

Watching a lot of these family abroad channels, a common theme is safety, lifestyle, economy, and the weather, of course. Shouldn't we be demanding a political/ economic system that delivers this for the ordinary worker in the UK.😮

[@ourdubaidiary]

Hey Astro - I can't disagree but also got to a point where we had to take it into our own hads compared to hope the UK system inproved. I'm not 'hating' on the UK as there are so many things that are great but I do believe the country needs some stronger leadership and change of direction in key areas like how criminals are dealt with, taxes and weather (last ones a joke ;) ). Stay well.
