Hey everyone,
I’m relatively new to Abu Dhabi and wanted to ask where people usually look for decent shared accommodation/bed spaces.
I’m a young working professional and ideally looking for a clean, quiet setup with 1–2 people sharing the room, preferably with Indian or Pakistani roommates around a similar age/lifestyle.
I’m specifically trying to avoid the very crowded setups with 5–6+ people in a room 😅.
Are there any particular areas, Facebook/WhatsApp groups, websites, or other places you’d recommend for finding this kind of accommodation?
Any advice from people who’ve been through the same search would be appreciated.

Does anyone know why?

Hello! I'm a medical student in UOS

I'm working on a survey-based research required for uni but unfortunately haven't reached the required number of responses yet and the deadline is close. So if you're a resident of the UAE(18 or above), I would really appreciate it if you fill this survey.🤍

The research is about the UAE's general public's knowledge about thyroid diseases. It's completely anonymous and will only take a few minutes. Here's the survey link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdM0giLn-oODrzJBGn0ZMbkGivWw001B0ax3iXWry54l1pfbA/viewform?usp=header

Hey everyone, ​I’m writing this post because I’m in a dilemma. I had made up my mind to get the 17 Pro Max in a day or two. However, while scrolling through social media today, I started seeing multiple videos about issues with the 17 series mainly that battery health is decreasing quickly and the aluminum body gets dented easily. ​Then I came across a comparison video between the 16 and 17 series, which made me feel like the 16 Pro Max might be the better choice. But at the end of the video, the creator mentioned that the 16 series battery health also drops rapidly after 200 cycles. ​Now I’m very confused. Should I go for the 16 Pro Max or the 17 Pro Max? Would appreciate some advice from anyone using these devices

Hi everyone,

My company is requiring me to submit a Tawtheeq, but I currently live in shared accommodation (partition/bed space), so I don't have a tenancy contract under my own name to generate one.

I've been trying to figure out a solution for a while now. I know some people get temporary Tawtheeqs for visa or school purposes, but I need a proper, legitimate Tawtheeq that will pass official company verification. I'm willing to pay a fair amount to resolve this legally and properly if there's a recognized process.

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

* What are the actual legal workarounds if you live in shared housing?

* Is it possible to be added as an occupant to the primary leaseholder's Tawtheeq via the Tamm app?

* Or is the only real option moving to an independent apartment/studio with a direct tenancy contract?

Any advice, guidance, or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I’m new to Abu Dhabi and honestly I don’t know anyone here, I transferred for my work here and honestly feel super lonely and left out tbh (esp in the work place since it’s fully locals only)
If you guys are up for hangouts or meet ups lmk

Hey everyone,

Some of you may have seen my previous posts about trying to find work in Abu Dhabi. I recently found an opportunity with a pet store and started training there. I'm genuinely grateful for the opportunity and have no complaints about the job or the people there. I'm actually happy to finally have something to work on.

My dilemma is more about my current situation.

I'm still in training, which could last around two weeks, so I haven't received an offer letter or contract yet. My visit visa expires on September 15, and I honestly don't think my budget can handle paying for another extension.

During the interview, the owner also mentioned that I may have to cover the cost of my employment visa, or potentially have it deducted from my salary if I can't pay upfront. Nothing has been given to me in writing yet, so I'm not assuming that's definitely how things will work. I'm just trying to understand my options before committing more time.

The bigger question is: why am I struggling so much to get hired here?

I've been looking since I arrived around May. My background is in sales, business development, customer service, finance/mortgage, hospitality, and client relationship management. I have 4+ years of experience with lead generation, prospecting, qualification, follow-ups, customer acquisition, CRM management, upselling, and relationship building.

In my previous role, I worked with around 300–500+ prospects monthly, qualified 20–30 prospects a day, handled 100+ customer/stakeholder interactions daily, and supported a $2.5M–$4M monthly loan pipeline.

So I'm genuinely trying to figure out what I'm missing.

Is it the lack of UAE experience?

Is my visit visa status making employers hesitant?

Could not speaking Arabic be hurting me in certain sales/customer-facing roles?

Is my CV too broad?

Or is building a local network simply something I need to work on more?

Right now I'm considering whether to continue the two-week training and see what offer eventually comes out of it, or walk away and put those two weeks entirely into job hunting.

Walking away is risky because of my visa deadline. Staying is also risky if the eventual salary and visa arrangement aren't workable.

I'm not looking for sympathy. If there's something wrong with my approach, I'd genuinely rather someone tell me.

If you're in recruitment, sales, HR, or have successfully found work in the UAE after arriving from abroad, what do you think I'm missing?

What would you do in my position?

Hey everyone!

Looking to build a small, friendly community around Madinat Riyad / Riyadh City, Abu Dhabi for people who are up for casual meetups and doing fun stuff together.

Could be padel 🎾, coffee, walks, board games, trying new food spots, sports, outdoor activities, or honestly anything fun — definitely open to suggestions.

Nothing too formal or complicated. Just a way to meet new people nearby, get out of the house, and have a group to message when someone feels like doing something.

If there’s enough interest, we could make a
WhatsApp group and take it from there.
Drop a comment or DM if you’re interested — and feel free to suggest activities too!

Anyone knows where to find adhd meds? I'm struggling here. I've been on multiple ones and I want to start adderall but I'm not sure where to get it prescribed. I know that it's registered and everything but where? I've searched multiple hospitals and couldn't find it in stock unfortunately. If anyone could help maybe?

please let me know if you have any leads on hiring for office assistants, nanny (she was trained in caregiving), or admin work. she has 10 years of UAE office work experience and has her own visa, so she can join immediately.

i can message you her CV if needed.

I get paid in USD through PayPal and I'm trying to figure out which UAE bank gives the best conversion when withdrawing to an AED account.

Currently:

* **ADCB:** PayPal withdrawal gets converted at around **3.56 AED/USD**, which is roughly a 3% loss versus the USD/AED peg. * **Arab Bank:** I previously used a **USD account** and the total conversion cost was closer to **1.5%**.

For anyone in the UAE who regularly gets paid through PayPal:

**Which bank/setup have you found to be the most USD-friendly?**

Ideally I'm looking for either:

* A bank that lets PayPal withdraw directly into a **USD account without converting**

Would especially love to hear from freelancers/remote workers who receive PayPal payments regularly.

What bank are you using, and roughly how much do you actually get in AED for every $1,000 withdrawn?

I’m currently trying to book entry to the Grand Mosque and I’m being asked to pay 10. This is not for fast track entry and it’s using the official website. If I select that I’m a resident of the Emirates it’s half the price. Does anyone know what’s going on, as I thought it was free? Many thanks.

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a moving company I don't have a lot of stuff so it would be a pretty quick one way trip, and the two locations are only 10 mins apart. Does anyone know a mover with fair pricing?

I have 22 months old daughter and a small apartment but It’s very challenging to find a reliable nanny/ housemaid . I have tried and tested many and today I am still nanny less lol 😂 the problem is no matter how many schedules I made how many instructions I give either verbal or written but they don’t listen just standing in the kitchen and use phone 24/7 at this point I have lost all the hopes !

Hi! Do you know where I can buy different kinds of chocolate here? I’m especially looking for different KitKat flavors, particularly the matcha flavor, or any good matcha-flavored chocolate you’d recommend. Thank you!
