I'm new to RAK - would like to make some friends

martyn580

hey guys,  I'm Martyn, a 23  year old Dutch guy who's going to be moving to rak  end this month.  This will be my very first time  living completely on my own without family or friends  so you can understand how  daunting it's going to be.  Even though I'm a bit nervous I'm also quite excited to say the least.  Anyways,  I'll be working in the Waldorf Astoria  so I'm wondering if anyone here lives  around that area because I really would like to make some friends. This would really help make my transition to the UAE a pleasant one. I honestly don't know how active this forum is, though any response would be greatly appreciated. I promise I'm fun to hang out with,I really don't bite hahahah :p

looking forward to meeting you all.

Hallo Martyn, ben voor het eerst op dit forum en ook 'nieuw' in RAK. Ik zou weliswaar je oma kunnen zijn, maar het is altijd leuk om even nederlands te kletsen. Wij wonen in al hamra huisnummer 748. De straat voor de laatste Royal Breeze building. Biertjes staan hier altijd koud!
Misschien hoor ik iets van je!
Groetjes, Henriette (uit Breda).

Hi everyone
I am possibly moving to RAK in August 2016 to take up a teaching post and so am researching the area. What are the best places to live? and is there a good community feel? I have two children a 3 year old and a 4 year old, and will be on my own without friends and family and so am feeling a little apprehensive (hubby works abroad). Any advice people can offer? Thanks in advance :)

nickabla

Hi
What school are you taking the position in?? RAK is nice, its quiet but it will be a nice place to bring your kids. Alot of people (expats) live in the al hamra area. That area is very pretty. Will the school not provide your accomodation???

I am hoping to start teaching at Rak Academy in Aug. Yes accommodation is provided but we may subsidise it to go somewhere else. We had a look around Al hamra and the mall but wasn't sure where the accommodation was, it seemed nice and relaxed. Do most people have cars to get around RAK?
Thanks for your help :-)

nickabla

If you move to Al Hamra you will need a car to get to work as it is at least a 20minute drive to RAK academy. I recently got a car and the freedom is amazing!!! so i would recommend a car even though taxis are cheap and easy enough to get. i rent with thrifty in al hamra and they offer a teacher discount.

Hello, I am considering a teaching post at RAK Academy. Can anyone provide me with information on the teachers pay scale at the school, and what you could expect to earn based on 3 to 4 years teaching experience? Many thanks, Mary.
