I do not recommend to stay in a stand alone villa if there are no houses around.

Also another point to consider if the villa is located to the south of the sheepyard/slaughterhouse then I strongly do not recommend coz the wind here usually comes from the north and it will carry to you the manure "aroma" most of the time.

it is a stand alone villa- pictures look very nice (the house)- rather "barren" area, looks like

Again the location is good.

I suggest to check the surroundings during day time (morning and afternoon) and also check it at night.

If you feel comfortable then go ahead.

Those people belonging to Baluchistan which is an area spreading across Pakistan and Iran and guess Afghanistan also (am not sure about this). They are an ethnic group like Kurds and Kusristan.

Is this thread hijacked?

I suppose they are people from Baluchistan.....where is that country anyway????

----> it is reminded me with somebody call Balushi who keep popped up in BE. In the beginning i was thinking just one of the family name of Emirati.

Abu Hamur is a big area. You need to specify which part of abu hamour and if the house is inside a compound or stand alone. I know the area since I live nearby in Maamoura.

The area is considered centrally located and it is close to many common places.
