Hello everyone,

Last month, I arrived in Dubai and have been living and working here since.

This is my first time visiting the United Arab Emirates, and it has been an incredible experience!

The energy here is Good and Positive.. There is always something new to discover..

And Work has been equally exciting, as Dubai’s dynamic environment offers so many opportunities to grow and connect with people from all over the world. The diversity here is remarkable, and I’ve already met so many inspiring individuals from different countries .

Are there any UAE residents out there?

I’d love to hear your favorite spots to visit or tips for making the most of life in this incredible city!

Feel free to share your thoughts or connect with me to chat about life in the United Arab Emirates.
 
I have clients from there, but never been there myself.
 
On our last trip to Maldives we flied on the same flight (ours was direct, hers was stop in Male/Maldives and then Dubai) with sri lankan maid that works for polish family in Dubai. My sister somehow managed to become buds with her and exchanged numbers 😅. She works there since many years, she stays for months at a time, then comes back to Sri Lanka for a bit, then Dubai again. Interestingly enough she's christian.

Wish you luck there, keep us updated!
 
I can ask my friends who live there if you want?
 
We have been about 26 times in the last 15 years, spent a lot of time there, as I originally had a client there.

Best advice is eat where the tourists don't , there are some great places to eat in places like Deira.

Go enjoy Friday brunch, they are great.

Sign upto or browse sites like Cobone, these are great for offers on eating out.

I'm actually still contemplating buying an apartment there. It's a great stop off on route to Thailand too.
 
Inspiring stuff. I have been to Dubai a number of times. I usually stay at a friends flat near Dubai Mall or the Taj in Palm Jumerah or Burj Khalifa. I do like dubai. Can't seem myself ever staying there permanently but it's a great place if you just wanna get your head down six months of the year and make money with no drama or nonsense. until you're happy with your savings and/or income
 
How you doin' bro? I googled the beach you mentioned and it looks very picturesque + I was surprised how cheap it is to rent some luxurious looking things (still a cost and I still would prefer to save than to do that, it can add up quickly but what I mean is this 'extra luxury' content we see on social media is probably cheaper to produce than it looks). Hope you're having a good time.
