The guy with the bag in the middle was playing song which was deafening asw where is the civic sense????😭😭😭

Watching the UAE candidate for UN secretary general position get absolutely flamed for the UAE’s atrocities in Africa by the UN Assembly members on live TV is the wildest shit!

You literally have the whole World putting you on blast with receipts! All these atrocities went down while she was a government minster and ambassador in the country and she never condemned it or spoke up once!

They set this woman up for failure 🤣

I recently bought a Mitsubishi Pajero in Dubai.
The dealership called me and offered a special AED 249 car inspection and maintenance package. I booked an appointment and went there, only to be told that AED 249 was just for an oil change and didn’t include a proper car inspection.
They then offered me several more expensive services costing over AED 1,000. I agreed to a rust-proofing service because I wanted to protect my car.
After a little over two hours, I got my car back. The rust-proofing alone cost AED 999 + VAT (AED 1,048.95), and my total bill was AED 1,347.15.
When I checked the underside of my car at home, I could still see rust on several metal parts, and I couldn’t see any obvious difference.
I understand rust-proofing doesn’t necessarily remove existing rust, but I wasn’t given a clear explanation of exactly what work was done.
Did I get ripped off, or is this normal practice at dealerships in Dubai? What would you do in my situation?

Recently Ive lost my job and I received my end of benefits directly in my ADCB account. All of a sudden today I received a call from a scammer where he was impersonating an ADCB employee and he said the account was about to be hacked and he needs me to open my UAE Pass application and upload all the documents directly. I caught the scammer red handed and he said "Fugg your mother" and cut the call. My question is when I had zero money in the account I havent received any calls ever. Where do they get their information from and is my data now considered compromised?

What happened today in Business Bay actually??
I was looking for news but so far nothing found (Near IRIS Tower)

Disclaimer: This post is just to raise awareness and caution people of consuming something that potentially has plastic in it.

I have been consuming Nada drinks as my morning breakfast alternative to boost my protein intake and ofcourse it tastes good too.

But lately, I have started noticing their drinks contain some kind of turquoise residue which matches with the color of the cap so I assume it is the microplastic from the cap itself. If it is not the plastic, what else could it be, willing to understand this more if I am mistaken.

I am not sure if others have also noticed this with Nada plain protein drinks but for me it is the 4-5 bottle and I have been noticing this consistently over past few weeks.

Just be careful when consuming such drinks. I am attaching 2 videos captured on 2 different dates 2-3 weeks apart. Also it is consistent with their "new" packaging and the one that is old. i.e 0% fat plain drink and "low fat" plain protein drinks.

I will post the older video in comments. Seems i cannot post more than one video here.

I'm working in the UAE and want to start building an emergency fund. I currently have almost no savings, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to start.

I have a salary account with ADCB, but AED 25 is deducted every month in bank charges. I was thinking of opening a separate savings account and transferring a small amount into it every month, but I'm worried about paying additional account maintenance fees or minimum balance charges.

For those living in the UAE, how do you manage your emergency fund?

Do you keep it in a separate savings account, use your salary account, or keep it somewhere else? Which bank or account would you recommend for someone starting with a small amount, without monthly fees or high minimum balance requirements?

If you know any WhatsApp groups, facebook, .. I’d like to join and dive with the local community

I have a jaw issue called TMJ and I have been asked to see a Maxillofacial surgeon. But I dont have dental in my insurance. What is the case? can anyone say?

I’ve been struggling to know the E2E visa process for uae. My hr applied for a e-work permit and once that was approved, I was sent for a wafid medical exam and cleared that. And now apparently my entry permit is pending and the current status is “pending with consulate”. What am i supposed to do now?!

Can someone help me document theE2E process!! I want to make a thread that can help future candidates so they don’t suffer like me. :,)

Can someone help me with suggestions for good tailors in meena bazar/karama or anywhere in dubai where I can get a lehenga stitched at an affordable rate and especially someone who wont ruin the design!!!!

I'm moving to the UAE in the next couple of months with my dog, so I went through the list of things that I need to do and one of them is to get a health certificate from the vet in my home country.

However, I'm getting conflicting information about this: some places say that it's an official health certificate from the country of origin (in my case, Sweden), while others say that I need to get a form from MOCCAE in the UAE, print and let my vet in Sweden fill it.

Has anyone here moved to the UAE with a pet before? Do you know if it's any health certificate form issued by the country of origin, or do I really need to get a form from MOCCAE?

Thanks!

Hey everyone, need some quick advice.

I resigned from my job at a school in Sharjah and am currently serving my notice period. My fixed-term contract isn't due to end until late 2027, but I am legally resigning and serving my notice. My occupational health card also recently expired on October 28. For context, I am on a family/personal visa, not a company visa.

When I asked HR about the offboarding process, the HR manager told me that I have to go to Tasheel myself to cancel my labor contract.

Can an employee actually cancel their own work permit at Tasheel? If HR is passing this work to me, how do I deal with them?

Hi everyone!
An Italian citizen is in Dubai on a free 90-day Visa on Arrival, expiring November 23, 2026.
We want to extend the stay for another 60–90 days without leaving the UAE.
Has anyone successfully done this, especially with an Italian or EU passport?
Which agency did you use, how much did it cost, and how long did it take?
Any recent experiences or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

This water tanker was stopped on a road. Road speed (80 kmph) I was under the buffer limit going 92-96.
Couldn’t see the truck nor the man standing. If God forbid, I wouldn’t have reacted on time things would’ve been different. Would I be held liable? And also can I complain of these people working on a road without warning signs kept prior?

Hey guys I’m 22 M in Dubai, this is one of my last attempts to find some genuine friends in Dubai to hangout with, I live in Al Nahda, Dubai, so if you're somewhere nearby, that would be awesome! It would be much easier to meet up regularly. However, I'm open to meeting people from anywhere in Dubai, as long as the distance is manageable and we can make plans to hang out.

So DM me if you’re also in a similar situation and build a genuine friendship… thank you

Hi everyone, I’m applying for an SPC Free Zone investor visa and need UAE health insurance valid for at least six months.

I’m just looking for basic, affordable coverage—nothing extensive—as I may switch to an employer’s insurance later and would need to cancel this policy. Any insurers/plans you’d recommend, especially ones with straightforward cancellation or refund terms?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I have a flight to the UAE next week and I'm honestly torn about whether to go or postpone because of the war.
For those living there right now: how does it feel on the ground? Are people expecting the attacks to start again, especially around the US midterms on November 3? Have there been any alerts or incidents recently, and are airports and flights running normally?
If you were in my place, would you travel next week or wait until things are clearer?
Thanks a lot for any honest answers 🙏
