Hello,

Can someone tell me what the general dress code is for male instructors at ZU? For example, do they wear suits, or can one get by with khakis w/ a dress shirt/tie, no tie, etc.

Also, is there much nightlife in AD? In comparison, say, to Dubai - a number of decent bars, restaurants, etc., where you can have a drink, meet single people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, etc.

Thank you!

My understanding of the ZU dress code is that khakhis and a shirt with tie is fine. You don't need to wear a suit. I was also told on the sly that a dress shirt without a tie is also acceptable, though I won't try it until I get a good feel for the place.

Thanks for the info Mandalayroad...

Cmp45, not sure how you would confuse a lack of "spirit of adventure" with what is commonly known as "research" - one of the primary functions of this and any forum...

Does anyone have some productive input regarding pros/cons of AD vs. Al Ain?

Thank you.

White shirt
Black tie
Black pants
Black nametag, with your name on it.

To be fair to my friends, I know the dress code is changing -- it's just a little friendly teasing.

and if these topics are important to you, then yes, it's important to do research prior to accepting/coming so that you have an idea of what to expect - it's one thing to have a spirit of adventure, another to be completely blindsided

I can understand if you were moving to a rural place, but it's Abu Dhabi, a friggin huge city! Of course there will be restaurants galore and bars too!
relax....why not let this aspect of social life unfold.

I doubt you will get blindsided in such a large city!
