This is our apartment in Al Ain

Well we have finally settled into our apartment in Al Ain and it is actually remarkably comfortable. There are some photos on the page of our lounge/dining room, the bedrooms, one of the bathrooms (the other one is too small to get the camera in) and the kitchen. The bathrooms are pretty standard but still lacking a shower curtain so water slops all over the place! Shower curtains are on the way I am told as are wardrobes! We have improvised with some hanging space from Ikea – not too flash but it does the job. There is also a ‘maid’s room’ that we use for storage – it fits our suitcases and an iron and ironing board – can’t imagine how small a maid would need to be to fit in there – she would have to curl up in a ball on the floor to sleep! There will be some pictures on the walls soon and it will then be totally cosy.

Anyway for prospective visitors there is plenty of room in the spare room right now, though I am intending to also put a table in for doing some art projects. Still there’s a queen size bed and I’ll make sure I don’t crowd it out too much.

See you all in the land of the flying carpet as soon as you let us know you are coming. PS Our ‘flying carpet’ must be the one on the floor in the lounge – just haven’t sorted out the gears or transmission yet…………………..

  1. Hi Cheryl and Ron, welcome to Al Ain.

    I visited your website, C&R Advantage Management and was intrigued by the services offered. One in particular that I'm not willing to disclose here.

    I read Ron will be consulting for one of the universities here, but is it your intention to introduce those services in Al Ain too?

  2. Did your employers provide a furnished flat, or did you decorate?
