That sounds really cool. And to be going with friends too.

ya its pretty cool.. its such an amazing opportunity, Im just finished college, my chances of getting a job here in Ireland is slim for the moment so Im thinking why not go.. im young, nothing here for me at the moment... the country is still in crap (and another budget looming!!!!) so I'm out of here!!!!

It will be great to experience another culture and gain amazing experience

Hey maggie,

Lived in Dubai for a bit and my dad and bro still live in Dubai,
Abu Dhabi is nice it is conservative but has a good social scene with irish clubs and GAA teams ye will meet loads an have laugh

up to 5k irish in the UAE all up so craic is good i was in dubai for last paddy day visiting and place is as good as ever

just watch being too drunk on streets especially in abu dhabi..... to be honest just behave within the rules an all will be cool

Oman is also worth a visit

Have fun
