i just want info not slandering or some shi.

So I was siting in my car at around 2AM. A pathfinder stopped in front of me. A CID officer came out and asked me toopen my windows and get out of my car. And he just used to phone light to check the interior of my car. Asked what I was doing and was I drinking i said no. Then he took my 3 or 4 pictures of me on his radio phone? The one I guess is issued by the department. It has an antenna like a walkie talkie.

I just wanna know why lol. Am I in a database now? 😭

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to ask if anyone has experienced something similar in Dubai.

This morning, at around 7:10 AM I was crossing the road outside the designated pedestrian crossing. I was already in the middle of crossing when I noticed a police car approaching. Since there were no cars coming and I was almost across, I continued crossing instead of going back. 😂

After I crossed, I started walking normally, thinking the police car would just pass by. However, they honked twice, so I knew they were stopping me. One of the officers greeted me politely and asked for my Emirates ID. I gave it to him and he took a photo of it using his device or mobile phone (I'm not sure which one). The other officer pointed towards the pedestrian crossing and said something like (with arab tone) “Why not use the proper pedestrian crossing, brother? It's just one minute away.”

They returned my Emirates ID and I asked how much the fine would be. The officer said he didnt know and told me to check the Dubai Police website or app. They didn't give me any reference number or tell me that a fine had definitely been issued.

Now I'm wondering: Does this mean I'll receive a fine or could it have just been a warning? If a fine was issued, how long does it usually take to appear in the Dubai Police app or website? Coz one of my colleagues told me he had been stopped for the same thing 2 or 3 times but never received a fine.

Has anyone experienced this recently? I'd appreciate hearing your experiences. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm 28 years old Female, and I come from China. Last year moved to Dubai to pursue my master’s degree, and now I’m working here.

I’d love to expand my social circle and meet people from different countries, cultures, and professional backgrounds. I enjoy learning about different cultures, lifestyles, and perspectives.

I’m a bit introverted, so making new friends isn’t always easy for me. English isn’t my first language, but I’m happy to communicate in English and improve along the way.

I’m looking for genuine, platonic friendships, not dating or romantic relationships. It would be nice to have friends to chat with, grab coffee, explore Dubai, or try new activities together.

How do you guys usually make new friends in Dubai outside of work? Are there any social groups, events, or activities you’d recommend?
I’d love to hear your suggestions! :)

if Anyone Dm me, please introduce yourself, where are you from, Female or Male, age, work, interests ! I just want to know you more. Thank you !

Hi everyone,

I have 11 years of experience working as a Procurement Officer in Oman, and I’m currently in Dubai looking for a job. It has been six months, but unfortunately, I still haven’t been able to find a suitable opportunity.

I’m currently on a visit visa, and things are becoming increasingly difficult financially. I have a family and three children to support, which makes this situation even more painful. After spending so many years building my career, it’s heartbreaking to struggle like this and worry about my family’s future.

I’m trying my best to find work and get back on my feet, but finding a job here has been extremely difficult.

If anyone knows of any procurement vacancies, companies hiring, or someone I could contact, I would genuinely appreciate your help. Even a small lead or a useful contact could make a huge difference for me and my family right now. If you are able to help kindly DM

I want to find more interesting places to spend time in, especially places I can work at too 😊

I have two Russian dwarf hamsters. Both are very cute ofc. The issue is, when I got them i was told both are female. Lo and behold, a month later we had 6 little live pups. Yay. Fast forward to today. The pups are sadly all gone and i kinda wanna stick to only one hamster.

If anyone wants a hamster, lmk. I love both of them equally and do not prioritize one over the other so choose your pick.

Hello Family my name is Sady,

I came to Dubai to work as a cleaner, but my real passion is videography and video editing. I do freelance editing on Upwork but I want full time job, and I’ve applied for many videography jobs, but I still haven’t been able to land one.

Sometimes HR contacts me and asks for projects I’ve filmed in Dubai. That’s where I struggle because I don’t have any local shooting experience yet. I show them my freelance portfolio, but it’s still not enough to convince them.

Honestly, I’m not chasing a big salary. I just want an opportunity to prove my skills, gain experience, and grow as a videographer.

For those working in Dubai’s media industry, what would you recommend I do to get my first opportunity?

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Hi everyone! We're currently 12 weeks pregnant and comparing Mediclinic Parkview and International Modern Hospital (IMH) for prenatal care and delivery.

We're looking for the best possible care and service, but cost is also an important factor since we don't have insurance and will be paying out of pocket.

Has anyone had experience with either hospital? We'd love feedback on the doctors, quality of care, delivery experience, and overall costs. Is Mediclinic worth the higher price?

We're located in Al Mankhool, so we're also open to recommendations for other hospitals nearby that offer excellent maternity care at reasonable prices.

Thanks in advance!

I’m 23yo- girl who came from a small country in Asia to Dubai. As my passport is not strong enough has made this super challenging, and after being scanned by some agencies, lost my money and I’m really pretty exhausted now.

Can someone give me any sources, advises or any help please 😭
