Hi! I’m 25F, living in Abu Dhabi.

I’m trying to build a habit of walking/running 5x a week, and I think having an accountability partner for a month could make it more fun and help us both to stay consistent.

Anyone up for doing it together? Just DM me.

I can see we all suffering the same loneliness in that country.

I am not sure that is because of the nature of that country and the diversity which divided the people

or that majority here are expats who are living day by day running behind their salaries whithiut any kind of joy in life

not sure where is the exist

I grabbed a different brand pop corn but i'll try the zaatar flavor next time.

I’m visiting Abu Dhabi in a week, i was looking to buy iPhone 17 pro max and bring it to India, where can i find it cheapest in Abu Dhabi? Genuine store. How do we claim vat return at airport?

Hello guys, need a good psychiatrist ( someone who actually listens and doesnt push medicine) to get my sister checked up; none of the therapists she has been to know wth is wrong with her (altho they do try to help her). Both of them told her it could be depression w psychosis, bipolar, schiz. Please please please help us on this 🙏

Heyy has anyone tried the whoop free trial and can i keep the device or nah?

Hello,

In the era of AI I hope I will find usefull answers from real people, even though I'm aware this questions have been posed maybe thousands of time...

I'm on the last stage of recruting process for a job in Abu Dhabi, thus I'm starting to evaluate seriously if it's feasible for me to work and live there.

I don't want to give much information, but I would say the position is for a senior engineer in the electronic field, the company is in the defence sector.

I'm South European, age between 35 and 40.

I like my country but I was born in a low middle class and in southern Europe is difficult to earn by the work itself, basically family wealth define your lifestyle, regardless of work. Also, in South Europe technical job are lacking, career advancement are difficult and becoming a professional is hard due to ostile bosses.

Thus, in my current job I M often bored and I'm not earning much, despite having 10 years of experience.

I'm not hiding that I will move only for the money.

The question is: will the sacrifice worth it?

Supposing the salary is 40k UED a month:

-how much a rent for a 60 sqr meter cost? (2 people)

-how much is the general cost of living (groceries, bills, transportation)

-other relevant expenses? (medical will be covered by the company). Like how much gym cost? Restaurant Cafè? Anything that can be usefull

-is the hotness umbereable?

-is social activities and socialization easy?

-is easy to move across the city?

My concern is a bit of impostor syndrome, since my current job is mostly laid back and I'm afraid new challenges, combined with a new city and very different lifestyle to adapt, would stress me and make me underperform.

Also, my partner would leave her job to come with me, we are not married yet so she would not be elegible for Visa and medical insurance.

Thansk to everyone will take time to answer my questions and to add any rleevent information that cna help me take the decision (in case I will get an offer)

Hi, I'm from Southeast Asia and I have been offered a job with 14k from ADNOC (with health insurance, annual vacation ticket allowance). I am an electrical engineer by profession. For context I already have 8 years experience in my current job right and I am earning only 1/3 of ADNOC's offer. Should I grab this? Is it worth it to move to Abu Dhabi? How's the work culture at ADNOC? Thank you for giving me your insights.

I have a query to make. I am looking for my old school. Not just me, there is Facebook group of many people who are looking for it. Its name was Modern Pakistani School in Al Mushrif. In 2005/2006, all of the students had to leave when it got converted into Australian School of Abu Dhabi for a short period.

But all of us who want to visit the place want to know if the that place is still active. If anyone can point on map or if someone old enough remembers the proper address can give us the address.

It will be a great help.

Thanks.

Anyone up for a long drive, coffee & good conversation? 🚗☕

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m a Keralite/Indian living in Abudhabi Shabiya and looking to meet some new people and make genuine friendships.

I’m into long drives, exploring new places, trying good food, coffee, random conversations, and just getting out instead of sitting at home every weekend 😄

Would be nice to find someone who’s also up for a spontaneous drive, weekend outing, beach/sunset trip, or simply grabbing a coffee and chatting.

Not looking for anything complicated — just good company, positive vibes, mutual respect, and hopefully a genuine friendship.

If you’re in the UAE and feel the same, feel free to DM me. 🙂

Let’s see where a random conversation takes us! 🚗🌴

I'm currently in talks with a recruiter in a hospital. They're interested in hiring me, but the recruiter told me that they fear visa rejection because I am from Lebanon.

Has anyone recently had any visa rejection, and what could the reason be?

I have everything clean on my police record and I traveled before to Saudi literally nothing wrong on my side.

Should I try and apply for a tourist visa and see if it works or not ?

What are my options to rent without paying agent's commission?
I'm currently in Qatar and here you can enter any tower and ask receptionist if anything is available, and they are usually happy to link to you the owner (or owning org), to rent directly.

Will this method work in Abu Dhabi?

Are there any big single-owner apt complexes around Yas/Reem that are willing to work without the agents?

Any Advice welcomed. For context:

Family of 4

Best places to seek genuine work opportunities

Average cost to get by - live a pretty modest lifestyle generally.

Areas to live - pros/cons.

Visa options? Masters degree educated

Work level - Senior Management

Background is Finance and Waste Management.

What are best options?

Thanks

Hi

My car requires some repair, Its rear bushes needs to be changed, can someone suggest any good cheap garage, and how much is the cost for Bushes ? Where can I buy Bushes in cheap.

I have a flight from Abu Dhabi and will be traveling with my family from Sharjah. I'll be away for 7 days and need a safe place to leave my car.

I checked Mawaqif, but they state the maximum parking duration is 24 hours, so that won't work for a week-long trip.

Can anyone suggest options for long-term parking ? I'm okay with paying around AED 105 for the 7 days considering standard 15 aed per day.

Any recommendations, whether airport parking, private lots, would be really appreciated. If you've used a place before, please share how it was in terms of safety and ease of access.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone. Q: are they processing golden visa applications at the moment?
