			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In true UAE style, the 2010 event will see improved hospitality and public viewing areas, which will provide best-in-class facilities to ensure you get the best out of your day. Whether it&#8217;s business or pleasure there&#8217;s nothing quite like watching outstanding players hitting their final approach shots towards the breathtaking falcon-shaped clubhouse.</p>
<p>In 2009, the events issue free FM radios to the spectators allowing them to tune in and listen to the Championship Radio service commentary. We expect the service will be offered again.</p>
<p>As usual, Spectator Village is promised to return this year even bigger and better than ever providing a host of new interactive elements for golfing enthusiasts.</p>
<p>For those who like to party after the golf, the event will be providing entertainment such as Jazz Under The Stars, which keeps the action going long into the night.</p>
<p>Watch the world&#8217;s best golfers battle it out over four days in Abu Dhabi. Get yourself organized and book apartments in Abu Dhabi or holiday rentals in Dubai which is only 1 hours drive away.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting a job in Abu Dhabi could be a very exciting experience. It offers excellent jobs with high salaries and a lifestyle to reckon with. The followings are considered best to help you have a good life which brings relaxation and jobs to you.If you are planning to look for a job in Abu Dhabi or have already found one, it would be very useful to find more about the city and the kind of lifestyle that it offers. The accommodation, getting around the city, education for children, lifestyle etc are the aspects that one needs to know a little about before landing in the city. Especially if you are relocating for an Abu Dhabi job with your family, you would need to know more about getting your family settled there.</p>
<p>Abu Dhabi enjoys strategic importance in UAE as it is the capital city and houses the government. Also, Abu Dhabi enjoys nearly 9% of total world oil reserves. Thus, a major proportion of economy is based on oil &amp; gas in the city. Most foreign workers who come looking for a job in Dubai are mainly employed in the oil and gas industry. Owing to this, the expatriate population in the city has grown a lot over the last decade or so. Other sectors are also opening up like banking, hospitality, IT and healthcare. A lot of foreign skilled professionals are employed in these sectors from India, Philippines, UK and other European countries. The fact that people of so many varied nationalities are working in Abu Dhabi gives an eclectic flavor to the culture of the city.</p>
<p>Abu Dhabi is a peaceful and beautiful Middle Eastern city and offers a good lifestyle to those who choose to work here. It is just 90 minutes drive away from Dubai but is far more peaceful than Dubai. It is an ideal place to bring in your family and enjoy the warmth and luxuries offered by this place to expatriates. It is not just modern but also culturally focused. The climate is pleasant for most part of the year. The full, bright sun can be seen throughout the year and the temperatures are the mildest between October and April. The temperature during these months range 25 to 35 degree Celsius. In the summer months, the heat is scorching as temperatures soar to 40s with high levels of humidity. However, all buildings across the city would have some form of air conditioning so working indoors, one can easily be spared the wrath of the sun.</p>
<p>For getting around the city while on any job in Abu Dhabi, it is recommended that you own your own vehicle. Cars are easily available and can be resold when you leave the city at the end of your tenure. Otherwise, you can always hire a cab to be about the city. There is no train system in the UAE, so one has to approach other cities only by road. So, one can either take a bus or hire a cab to go to other cities. You will get to know these little details from the PRO of your office. When it comes to accommodation, expatriates cannot buy their own property in Abu Dhabi unlike in Dubai. So, property can be rented. Well-furnished, beautiful apartments and villas are available to rent in Abu Dhabi. Mostly, expatriates are given an allowance by their employer for accommodation or it is a part of the salary package. This is one thing that you must check before taking up any job in Abu Dhabi because living on your own could be very expensive.</p>
<p>Abu Dhabi is a good place for recreation and night life. There are a lot of jobs that you and your family can do in the free time. The weekly work extends either for five or six days depending on the company. For this, you have more time to relax, go shopping, go clubbing. Thus, doing a job in Abu Dhabi can be lot of fun if you know how to get your way around the city and its culture. Approach Abu Dhabi with an open mind and you will definitely come back with memories to cherish.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Schools in Abu Dhabi in the UAE are numerous but only some schools are considered as prior choices because families want to secure the best education and schooling for their children. Children development based on an internationally recognized curriculum that allows a child to continue their university education outside of the country has led many schools to adopt UK based education standards.</p>
<p>Many schools incorporate prep schools, senior schools, primary and secondary schools in one entity. The good schools of local interest allow your child to maintain their education at the same facility with the same faculty members. Additionally a number of special schools and mainstream schools with good provision for children with a range of special needs are also available; a Google search for “Good Schools in Abu Dhabi” will provide you with a range of schools available in the local area.</p>
<p>Many parents based in Abu Dhabi wish to take advantage of the education allowances offered by their employers to send their children to private international schools, many of these schools provide a British International curriculum to meet the needs of the rapidly growing, diverse community of Abu Dhabi based expatriate workers. Increasingly UK based education companies such as Nord Anglia that own and operate a number of schools around the world as well as in the UK are expanding into the Middle East area and are offering a “premium” level of schooling based on the British International curriculum.</p>
<p>These international schools generally offer small class sizes and a wide range of extracurricular activities. The school that you choose for your child should ideally combine a highly personalised approach to children’s social, intellectual, moral and physical development with excellent sporting and technological facilities. Abu Dhabi education facilities generally offer class learning and cultural resources as a core element of their curriculum. Abu Dhabi is fast developing as a regional cultural hub and as such a wide range of extracurricular activities are encouraged and available in the local area including excellent sporting, music and arts options.</p>
<p>The British International School, Abu Dhabi is certainly a good example of the relatively rapid pace of development in Abu Dhabi’s schooling.

According to that, those who are interested in study of their children may be easy to find out a good school for their childldren development.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates and is the largest of the countries&#8217; seven cities located less than 200kilometres from Dubai. Abu Dhabi is actually richer and more powerful, boasting 10% of the world&#8217;s petroleum reserves and extremely rich Sovereign Wealth Funds.</p>
<p>Abu Dhabi is following in Dubai&#8217;s footsteps with plans to diversify the economy and move away from reliance on the energy sector. In September 2007 the government published Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 which outlines the city&#8217;s evolution over the next 20 years or so, with emphasis on developing the tourism, industrial and real estate sectores.</p>
<p>The city has already announced over US$270 billion in real estate projects, and in 2006 the doors were finally opened to international investors.</p>
<p>Future development is divided in a similar way to Dubai with distinct areas serving well defined residential and commercial purposes. Most of the future development will be in the outlying islands which surround the mainland, as well as more inland towards Dubai. These islands include Al Reem Island, Saadiyat Island, Al Raha Beach, Yas Island (future home of Formula One Grand Prix) and Hudyriat Island, among others.</p>
<p>The market is characterized by supply far exceeding demand causing extremely high rental prices/returns. The demand will continue due to the city&#8217;s expansion which is attracting people, businesses and events to the region.</p>
<p>At the time of writing, entry prices are much higher than Dubai at between 1,800 &#8211; 2,000 AED, but the payment plans are generally more favorable to compensate.</p>
<p>Abu Dhabi is still behind Dubai is some respects of the property sector. For example, there is no authority to regulate the market, not all developments are freehold, and residency visas are currently not granted to investors.</p>
<p>However, Abu Dhabi surely offers one of the most exciting property markets in the world, and is only in the infancy stage.</p>
