Hi everyone, I'm torn between living in the city or a family friendly community off-island. Would you offer some advice please?

I'm looking at moving to the Gulf. Advice needed. From what I can see these two; Abu Dhabi and Dubai are the ones in closest contention for me. I'm into arts and food; so I'm thinking the more laid back approach of Abu Dhabi maybe suit me better. There are more flights from where I live to Dubai, but from what I read is that Dubai will run out of oil in maybe 10 years, whereas they will keep pumping in Abu Dhabi until long after I'm gone. This will likely have an impact on property values in the near future? I don't know how reliant Dubai still is on it's oil - I'd guess a lot? What does the future hold?

My flight is at 2:50 am Saturday morning - any suggestions on things to do on a Friday in Abu Dhabi? Love to get caught up on new things in Abu Dhabi.
