Welcome
Hi there. Thanks for stopping by. We are a community of women, most of whom all share the same professional title of HOUSEWIFE on our visas. Whether you have made the move to Abu Dhabi recently or have been here a while, we hope to provide information that we, ourselves, find useful. We love living in Abu Dhabi but know being a housewife here is not all about spa days, shopping and fine dining. We don't deny these are all things we love but our day-to-day routine is usually less glamourous. We do, however, sneak in bits of luxury more often than not. At the end of the day we are just a bunch of ORDINARY Housewives living EXTRAORDINARY lives here in Abu Dhabi.
