Theft is increasing in certain areas/compounds. TAke the ordinary precautions that you would take in the UK and you'll be fine - and do buy insurance on the very off chance you get "hit".

School fees may become an issue as there is a lot of competition for places in the more desirable schools - some companies offer to pay all tuition fees for 2 children at specific schools or in one not chosen by the company if there is no place at the first one. Can this perhaps be negotiated further? Worst they can do is say no and you're left where you are now.
