Hi to all, I am in Chicago at a job fair and I was offered a job in Dubai at Al_Mizhar American School for girls with a salary of 3850 $/month. How expensive is life in Dubai. My hsband is not a teacher and we don't know what opportunities he'll have there. Please give some honest advice!!! Take care and hope to hear from you soon. Carmen (Charlotte)

Two of those Yes but "take the money and run" is on this site.

I read some posts that said things like "get the money and run", "I would have shut myself if my family hadn't been there"... Another teacher left the school after only 3 months, but didn't say why...
I don't care much about those things they said, because each experience is different and it depends a lot on how adaptable and flexible you are...
Anyway, I am very glad that I'll have an interview with them and I hope to do well on it :)
I just wanted to learn more from people who teach there or know somebody teaching there.
Thank you for your postings!

Yes, they sent me all that, but I was wondering why so many teachers run away from this school.

Thank you for your reply!
It is true that I wasn't very clear about it, but I'll try to do better this time ;)
I said 'smth' because I read some reviews that sounded both bad and good at the same time. However, most of the people seemed "scared" of teaching there. Why do people feel like that? Is it very tough?
What do you know about salaries, life style, the atmosphere in the school, etc? I read it's in the middle of nowhere, but is it that bad...?
I will have an interview with them in February and I would like to know as much as I can about KAUST and life at KAUST before that.
I hope I was a little bit clearer this time ;)
Thank YOU!!!

Is there anyone who could tell me smth about KAUST? I appreciate your input! Thanks!
