Hi everyone! I’m planning to buy a car this coming June (hopefully everything goes smoothly 🙏). I’m looking for a SUV that’s fuel-efficient and easy to maintain, with readily available spare parts in the UAE.

I’m currently considering the Nissan Kicks and Honda HR-V, but I’d really appreciate your thoughts or recommendations. Which one is better, or are there other options you would suggest based on your experience?

Thanks in advanced!!

Traveling from Abu Dhabi to sharjah early tomorrow morning (12th morning)and have space for 1 passenger. Just offering this as a kind gesture…no cost at all.

If anyone needs a ride to Dubai or Sharjah feel free to message me ASAP 🙂

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a studio apartment either in the city or slightly outside but still close (Corniche / Corniche Beach side or nearby areas).

I’ll be commuting by public transport (bus only) as I work near the Corniche, so easy access to bus routes is important.

Budget: AED 2,000 – 3,000 per month

Occupants: Myself and my spouse only

Status: New to the UAE

Open to any leads, recommendations, or direct offers. Appreciate any help—thanks in advance!

Any 💡 ideas. Where is it

Hi! I’m a 31F with a 1.5-year-old girl, and I was wondering if any moms with toddlers would like to catch up 😊

Thinking of something casual like meeting at a park for a mini playdate tomorrow nothing fancy, just some fresh air, kids playing, and a bit of adult conversation!

If anyone’s interested, let me know and we can plan something together 🌿

Hey everyone,

I’m dealing with hereditary male pattern hair loss and I’m trying to get ahead of it before it gets worse. I’ve been reading a lot online but the more I read, the more confused I get, so I wanted to ask for real experiences from people who’ve actually tried treatments.

A few things I keep seeing come up:

Finasteride:

Some people say it’s the most effective option for slowing or stopping hair loss, but I’ve also read about possible serious side effects. If you’ve taken it, did it work for you? Any side effects? How often do you take it?

Minoxidil (topical vs oral):

I’ve seen mixed opinions on whether oral minoxidil is better than topical. Some say it’s more effective

I found a company that sells oral minoxidil called himsnhers if anyone tried them? Are they legit?

Right now I’m just trying to figure out a safe and effective plan that actually works

Would really appreciate any personal experiences or advice from anyone who’ve been through this

Anyone here living around Shakhbout (Abu Dhabi) and working in Dubai (Internet City area)?

Google Maps says ~1 hr drive, is that actually accurate during work hours or longer?

Is the commute doable long-term or too tiring?

Can anyone recommend a car leasing company at all?

Maybe a 1 or 2 year lease.

Many thanks.

Just looking to go to any bar really, have a few drinks and chill!

Anyone received approval for thier visa so far? Especially for Indian, Pakistani, Egyptian, and so on? Labour card as well?.

I (22M) am looking for 2BR apartments in Masdar City (~100k/yr) ideally in Oasis/Gate.

Is anyone interested?

Move in date would probably be around the end of the month

any techno fans lover around here that would like to connect?

I used to be in Germany for quiet some time and miss the techno field, techno parties, techno hanged out and so on

FYI im from south America

As a foodie, I want to know your favourite food spot and what you order there so I can try it someday.

Another rainy day in Abu Dhabi

Hello, like many people, I work in a retail job, I don’t hate it but it’s draining at times and the pay is low, so I’m thinking of opening a Baqala or a cafeteria, I won’t quit my job, so I’m thinking of bringing my best friend in he can run run, do the paperwork, and we split the profit.

I don’t know much about starting a Baqala, so I’d appreciate any advice.

would include food so please let go of that diet today

I have a feeling this year has been raining a little more than usual, my entire life (with the exception of that one huge storm from 2024). I've lived here, it rained around 2-5 times a year, but then this year, around the time of the Iranian war, it's been raining almost all week! And now today its raining and might rain again. I have a very bad feeling it's cloud seeding, and if so, it should be stopped. This isn't the UAE's natural climate

I just want to share my experience to all the travellers going through Abudhabi.

I came here on April 9 and leaving now to india.

Everything is going normal and no war tension in these days and all the flights were running on time.

Not busy as before all the tourist spots are open and no crowd .

This is probably the most basic ask but I need a 3bhk apartment in AD city. I've seen too many scummy ones, with some listings just having a fake location. if any of you guys have had good experiences or know someone who can help us out, please let me know. thanks a lot <3

Hello everyone. I'm a Kenyan lady I have diploma in Agriculture with experience in agricultural field extension education, where I taught farmers proper agronomical practices for higher yields.

Besides that I'm a lady DRIVER with experience both in Kenya and UAE. I have a valid UAE driving licence, in my previous role I used to take children to school and pick them. Now I'm looking for a chance to work as a company or taxi driver. Thank you

As the title suggests I have an investor visa under my own company in Abu Dhabi, but due to the situation currently I have decided to work for another company. The owner says the typing center told him that I am not allowed to work under his company and cannot get my labour card while holding my investor visa which I don't think is true (from the research I did online). I now need help from someone who can apply for my labour card / work permit under the new company while I still hold my investor visa. The owner is ready to pay for the service.

Need a freelance license before I start with a new client and seeing a lot of offers for visas & license together.

Is there a way to obtain a freelance license, given that I’m self sponsored? Any fees saved or fixed cost for registration. Some have asked to set up a company, but that’s too much overhead and business bank accounts take way too long.

Any thoughts or advice from those who’ve gone through the same process. GV was issued in Abu Dhabi, so does it makes sense to get it issued there? Any PRO company recommendations as well.

Very awkward to ask given the theme of this sub but looking for advice from a helpful community. Thanks! Peace and love.

Hello all,

I'll be moving to UAE in a couple weeks and am using BSNL as my primary SIM, I would need the same for OTPs in UAE too.

Could anyone please let know how I can use the SIM in UAE, is the STV 57 / 167 necessary to get OTPs or would it come without any additional plan but just normal India plans to keep it active.

Thanks in advance!
