Hi All
I have been offered a primary school teaching job in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. I have not yet decided which one to accept.Both offer free accommodation and other incentives. I would appreciate some advice
thank you

Depending on the school, i would say Abu Dhabi.

I am not sure about Abu Dhabi, but I know that alcohol is illegal in Sharjah. You actually can't even drive through the Emirate with alcohol in your car.

Sharjah has 2 things good going for it: proximity to Dubai, and cheapness of housing.

its also these two things that are the worst issues with Sharjah; too much traffic (its almost always jammed with traffic), and the housing isnt exactly of great quality.

Abu Dhabi is great, and the reasons are endless. *yes, im slightly biased *
