    Hi,

    I have moved to Abu Dhabi 15 days back and have couple of questions. I am looking for responses form experienced members. Your responses could be of great help to others:

    A) Which the best exchange to transfer money to India? Best Rate and Services
    B) What itmes are really worth buying from here? I can see that many of the electronic gadgets are cheaper in India on shopping sites like Flipkart, Amazon then here, but at the same time luggage bags are cheaper here. So need a list of items that are good to buy from Dubai/Abu Dhabi.
    C) Which is a good bank to open an account?
    D) Are there any good credit cards with nice offers like the one offered by Standard Charted that promises cash back from 2 to 10% on shopping
    E) Good places to visit (kindly ignore time and money wasters)
    F) Best places for grocery shopping is Lulu better then CareeFour .. etc
    G) Any specialized Indian shops or stores?

    Any other PRACTICAL tips for general life that you would like to share. I would like this thread to act as a GUIDE for all of us.

    Thanks
    Kash.
