how to move to Abu Dhabi like a pro

Another colleague will be joining us next week, and boss Rob asked around the desk what advice us oldtimers have to offer, things we wish we'd taken care of or brought with us, etc. I made a short list. Please note that Abu Dhabi is a much more liberal and commercially open enclave (think Epcot's World Showcase) than most of the Middle East (or most of the UAE for that matter), and these tips are not all-encompassing should you, say, make the sad mistake of moving to Saudi Arabia.

That's my three months' worth of wisdom. If anyone has tips on bearing with the heat, please share.
