Hi just1s,

Thanks also for the info on the location of apartments to rent. I think Bin Omran and Madinath khalifa South is a strategic place..
Honestly, I'm not that comfortable on leaving my original passport to a rent-a-car company in exchange for their services.I would rather go for those requiring a credit card instead..Any how, I will look for other options on my transportation needs once I get there.

thanks again!
Jerson
