EMKWAN TV is a weekly vlog channel set up by EMKWAN and BEELAH to document the move to the Middle East. It features video content on a range of topics including vlogs, experiences, food, advice, lifestyle and much more.
I can't thank you enough! Major useful info on housing ! I'm currently being recruited by Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi which is an amazing professional career opportunity to live and work in the UAE .....tons to think about ! Thanks again!
Victoria Penn glad it was helpful. Do note some of this info now is a little out of date but good luck with the move etc. If you enjoyed his video please do subscribe and let your friends and family know. :-)
Hi Victoria, Congratulations for your new gig. Is Cleveland clinic providing the housing facility ? I am in the middle of recruiting process. Not very sure about the salary package at Cleveland, are they good or bad i mean.
Hi Mohd,
Thanks for reaching out ...actually I'm hoping to get an offer letter from them by the end of this week...I'm a Speech Pathologist and made it thru HR so far!. I'm certain they will give money toward a housing allowance. CCAD does have a housing campus ,but I believe it's more for physicians and it's like a dormitory type of housing with a common living space area. I'm looking at Al Reem Island area in Abu Dhabi which is close to the hospital actually. I think their salaries for therapists are competitive to the USA, but they may pay monthly, I'm unsure at this point. So are you a therapist, nurse or someone in the medical field? Are you in the states or UAE? Nice to hear from you ...hope to stay in touch and best wishes to you as well!
Victoria Penn
Thanks Victoria for the response. I am currently being interviewed for Continuous Improvement manager position. You might be aware of, CCAD is deeply into Lean & Six Sigma for improving patient satisfaction. Well that's what i do.. Help improve the processes :) I am from India and expecting positive outcome from the interview. Meanwhile i have sent you the google hangout invite. All the best to you !!
Hi Victoria,
Are you in CCAD now? I just being recruited as well. I am curious about the CCAD accomodation. Did you manage to look for any accomodation on ur own?
I love Abu Dhabi! One of my favourite cities in the world. I lived on Reem Island when our building was the only finished one there!

Bruv, we gonna hang out for sure this coming Feb.. I'm moving there January and literally *THE*BEST*VIDEO* worth my pursuit to accommodation. I do have a question however.. by far I had shortlisted Etihad Tower but hearing yu out seems like Gate Tower or Sky Tower should also be up my radar.. wot do yu suggest?
I love abu dhabi. And i lived in mussafah and I used to go city every weekend after my work.
amazing
Thanks a million for all your information. Thinking about moving there as I'm a Nurse.
Arlene Paul tell me which hospital because I will come to see you 🙄
Hi thanks for your video, very sad that you haven’t uploaded any more video since 3 years ago
I must come to Dubai sometime soon!
thank you so much for such useful information! Realistically speaking if I would have 48k aed allowance I can forget about 1 bedroom appartment in Abu Dhabi, only studios or such allowance is even too low for studios in Abu Dhabi?
there are so many people thanking you for this message 👍👍👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
Good to be born in UAE to get rid of numbers of issues🤔👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A bit outdated video regarding the prices but still a very useful video regarding the descriptions of the areas around Abu Dhabi.
Sick track at the beginning and ending.. What's it called?
Me and wife are coming to celebrate my 31st bday this may. We plan on staying in the palms. What are some of the important rules we should know while on vacation there?
Buddy . I like it how u explain.
I want to move from USA . How can I buy 3 bed room condo or apartment. Do I have to pay upfront full amount.
If I will be working on Al Maryah Island, which location is the best to reside? Thank you.
Looking at potentially coming here/Dubai in the future. Really helpful video.
+Amit Lal Hey mate! Not seen you in a while. Hope you and yours are well! :-) Good luck with the future.
+EMKWAN TV - vlogs from Abu Dhabi & Dubai I'be got a quick question thats bugging me,Why did u move from the UK to Dubai and do u regret it ? Pls reply bro ;)
Can you please tell me your intro/ outro music
Great info
Happy it was helpful. Please do
Share with your friends and family.
Very informative, great info.
Thanks for dropping by and commenting. Hope you and the family are well.
+EMKWAN TV - vlogs from Abu Dhabi & Dubai thanks +EMKWAN TV, we are doing great, weather changing here in Canada, love watching your Vlogs and our regards to your family.
Is there going to be a vlog today?
Informative video! It seems that it would be preferable to get an employment contract with housing (allowance) included. A year's rent upfront is a hefty cost.
It would be great to see the Dubai version of this video and to learn about leasing/buying cars in UAE also. Luv the new ride too! Cheers!
+Amanda G :-) I'll do the video on cars also. good idea Amanda!
+EMKWAN TV - vlogs from Abu Dhabi & Dubai Excited! Thanks :-D
Great video bro - definitely will help those considering moving to Abu Dhabi.
Thanks bro! How have you been ?! Long time
+EMKWAN TV - vlogs from Abu Dhabi & Dubai am doing good thanks bro, indeed it has. How are you and the family ? Little man is growing up quick ma'sha'allah :)
+waqqy1416 we're well Alhamdullilah. Yeah Zayn is growing super fast. He's going to be a year old next week inshallah.
Wait zayn is about to be 1 years old I thought he born about 5 months ago, wow!!
Hi EMKWAN I've been watching your blogs recently. They've been very helpful ao thankyou. We have an opportunity to live there, we need to make a decision soon eeek!!! First timers quite nervous...would appreciate any advice where we can live that allows us to have our pets? Townhouse, Villa type compunds Preferably closest proximity to Al Marfa. Cheers if you can help! :) Thank you
When I worked out there years ago I actually preferred Abu Dhabi than Dubai
Gerard Melvin yes abudhabi is a quiet city but dubai is active two much people and too much chances
Could you provide info on how to get a job there? I work in the govt in Canada but want to relocate to abu dhabi.
Ethihad towers rent 2 bed shows about 140k aed. Would you say these number s are correct?
Seven years. Hope u can update❤
hey emkwan I'm trying to move to Dubai and I need your advice, I'm trying to start a retail business in the Dubai mall or a good mall, I need to know how much I should be looking at to rent the store, is it better to buy a studio with a budget of 100k pounds and what area should I stay, can you give me a mail or somewhere I can contact you by
Very informative, approx £18k a year in rent! And we in the UK complain about UK rent/prices! In the UK £18k annual rent could get you a 12 bedroom Victorian Mansion, (outside of London obviously)
+qwertyqwerty2983 So true.
Hi I just came across your channel, it's been very informative so far. The reason I found you is because my mum just got offered a job as a nurse in Abu Dhabi and starts in a couple of months. From what you said about Abu Dhabi, it seems it's very expensive to live there. Although I'm happy for my mum and I think this might be the break she needs. I just don't want her to make a mistake. she is moving out there with my little sister who's 12. They've said that her accommodation would be paid for and will provide her with a house which is fully furnished schooling for my sister paid for. So she doesn't have to
Worry about those things. And they also
Mentioned something about food but she doesn't really understand that part. Anyway she told me what her monthly salary would be and it sounded amazing. I wanted to ask you how much you think she would need to live on taking into account the prepaid expenses I mentioned earlier. I would really appreciate your insight on this as I love my mum of course and care about her. and I love your honesty and you seem very knowledgable. Thanks :-)
How is AD in property prices as compared to Dubai
your information really helped, we are planning our move to AD this year in summers. The confusion is, my kids school is BISAD and my husbands office in ADNOC is in ALbateen area. And we prefer a villa. So which area do you think will approximately fall in the middle of both , preference being the school. budget is not a problem, as the rent is company paid and the limit is quite high ..please guide :)
Hi . So where did you finally move? I have almost the same circumstances as yours and will b3 moving to abu dhabi soon. So which area did you choose ? How is the experience going? We are coming from Australia. I have 2 kids age 9 and 6. Really anxious about the move.
Thanks for this,sounds like everyone is ripping people off.
Also I'm curious to know how did you apply to get a job in Abu Dhabi
+kay jay I'll be doing a video on that later.
abu Dhabi is great yes their is alot of rich life but there's a street life aswell
can u do me a favour and congrates on 11k
For anyone watching this around the time of this comment. You need to very easily 2x all his prices. For example a 3 bed villa in Yas is 350k AED per year.
The best thing is to have a company provide housing allowance
Guys I'm looking to rent a car in Abu Dhabi....please help me....what's the cost per month? Is there a limit on miles?
What about "Hotel Apartments"?
Jeez is that you yeah!
Hi , can you please share information about international schools there ? And also things to do with kids there ?
AuBoo all kinds of school we tell me what is your nationality and I will tell you schools appropriate for your kids
@Ro7y Alemarat assalamualaikum. Im from singapore. Was thinking to move there in 3 years time but ive heard for expat, rental is crazy and education is expensive?
hi emkwan
so basically an apartment for one bedroom is around $2,000 a month?
I rent a place out in student accommdation in London wembley its quite expensive for first year students the majority of my student loans goes on rent lol
I want to be a student at the university in the dubai
This was an enlightened video, I found a one bed room flat, around 600 feet at Ajman for 24K.. I found it on dubbizel, do you think it's a good deal? My job should be at Abu dubi..
RedFox it will be difficult for you because 3 hours between abudhabi and ajman
Do you rent apartments?
How come I checked with property finder where apartments are way cheaper than you mentioned. At least 20,000AED cheaper than what you posted?
Chandler Liu because this is now over a year old! There's been a sharp decline in housing rental prices.
OK, I see. Thanks for your reply!
Another video, well done Bro. Also few more subscribers and you'll hit 11,000 :D
+Yasin Balooshi We hit it bro! Thanks man! Hope you are well... Need to take you out for a coffee habibi!
Looks like he didn't need to upload another he's already hit 11k 👍🏼
+EMKWAN TV - vlogs from Abu Dhabi & Dubai I'm well bro, Hope you and your family are doing well. Also we definitely need to head out for some coffee, It has been a while :D
Sounds a little on the expensive side there buddy. I guess you need to check plenty up front if you get offered a job out there. A very informative video buddy. Really enjoyed the info.
+Robert Bell Thanks mate... It's REALLY expensive... thats like 17k pounds a year on rent!
👌👌👌👌
It sounds expensive, but it's hard to know exactly how expensive without knowing the currency value in comparison to the my native country's currency. I'll have to know that and the average salary.
$1=3.6 dhs ( UAE currency)
Hey guys I am new here can anyone tell me when emkwan uploads?
Welcome! Sorry I usually upload on Wednesdays and Saturdays on this channel and similarly on ua-cam.com/users/avorahtv but ATM behind with videos. Next one will be on Wednesday.

+mazen marouf LOL do say hi on Twitter or Instagram or Facebook too.
+EMKWAN TV - vlogs from Abu Dhabi & Dubai will do!
Je cherche une petite maison ou j peux mettre en location
things might have changed in these 8 years or same ???
How can a single working woman can find accomodation in abudabi in search of job. Is there any hostel facility available for working ladies
my job paid me 120000 AED As housing allowance, for a family of total 4, where do u recommend it to live?
Hmmmm how many bedrooms ideal?
+EMKWAN TV - vlogs from Abu Dhabi & Dubai
2 bed rooms would be ok... please i need to know if u can answer
U can also be a broker and help people who wanna settle in Dubai lol....
God to be born & ilove Abu Dhabi
What about Sharja?
Asif Dutchmaster it is cheaper than abudhabi but the distanxe approximate two hours driving
Wouldn't it be better to buy a property than rent?
how many cars do u own?
He owns 1
I own a single car. :-)
+EMKWAN TV - vlogs from Abu Dhabi & Dubai
Just a single one? How come?
Marina Square?
Yep. :-)
+EMKWAN TV - vlogs from Abu Dhabi & Dubai Nice place :) I have a friend who lives there. No wonder the view was familiar hehe
+Manilette Ann Fernandez Hehehehehe yes it is wonderful.
+EMKWAN TV - vlogs from Abu Dhabi & Dubai Definitely a beautiful view from your place, especially at night. :)
it's not that expensive
I think some people would disagree.
+EMKWAN TV - vlogs from Abu Dhabi & Dubai true
That is expensive, your salary would need to be at least three figures, executive level.
WOW, I wonder what the homeless rate is there? Sounds like if you cant supply the wedge upfront, your pretty much fucked
Locals are provided housing if they can't afford. Those that come to the UAE to work must have a job. Once they loose their job they've got to leave the country. I've never seen anyone whose homeless here in 4 years
cheers, sounds like a good way that a lot of other countries should adopt.
+nathancad kinda agree
How do Muslim countries Banks make profit of u can't take interest?
*if
they have interest you can find videos about it they trick you into thinking it doesn't
+Carlos Castro you're right:) all they do is hypocrisy.
We do not take interest is taboo so God give us free money that is a patrol so the banks get free money from the government get that
Basically it's for the rich.
