Al Ain Living


 Finally, here are  pictures of our furnished flat in the  Al Muwaiji Village complex and our immediate surroundings!


Welcome to our home in Al Ain! Check out the long hallway.



The living/dining room is on the left with the bright orange sofa. We needed the color!


The dining area and office is on the other side of the room.



Almost directly across the hall from the living area is our small kitchen. 


With having such a small kitchen, we opted for a small oven and a two plate burner, instead of 
a full size oven.



Half way down the hall, there is a long niche 
where the washer/dryer unit and other items 
are hidden behind a curtain.


At the end of the hallway turn left, and we arrive at E's room.
And, it is clean!




Our room is just next door.



 Our flat/complex is within a 5-8 minute walk to shopping, healthcare, and book store of sorts.   

  


   As a teacher, if you are sick, you are required to go to the          
   doctor for a leave form. I was recently sick, and having this 
   center so close to the flat was great!


   Al Ain Co-op Society is a grocery store that we sometimes frequent. Next door 
   is Al Farooj (the red store front) where you can pick up a grilled chicken 
   dinner.  Next to that is a laundry and video store.

This mosque is between the co-op and our complex.


The barren walk back to Muwaiji Village.
