Hello,
I am exploring the option of custom tailoring work shirts instead of buying readily made ones.
The tailor shop in Abu Dhabi Mall said it would cost 275 Dhs per shirt. Is that the normal price to be expected or will I find some place cheaper without compromising quality?
Please recommend a tailor shop you know is good or one you’ve had experience with.

Hello everyone! 🙋🏽♂️
My name is Atfat, and I’m currently working on my Master’s thesis on the topic of grocery delivery services in the UAE. I would be so grateful if you could take a few minutes (just 3-5 minutes!) to participate in my survey. Your input would be extremely valuable for my research, and I need to gather at least 500 responses, so any help would mean a lot!
If possible, please feel free to share the survey with friends as well – every response helps tremendously. Thank you all so much in advance for your support! 😊✌🏼

llo fellow Redditors, hope all is well.
I’m living in a villa, and 43 days before my agreement was set to expire, my landlord decided to raise the rent by 20%. I let him know that this increase was not allowed by law—that he could only raise it by 5% and needed to inform me 60 days before the lease expiration. I told him I wanted to renew at the same rate as the previous contract and also expressed my intent to renew on the TAMM app. Unfortunately, we couldn’t reach an agreement.
After the contract expired, he offered a 5% increase, which I also pointed out was still not legal, explaining the law again. I confirmed I was still willing to pay the same amount as before. This back-and-forth happened a few more times.
Now, six months later, he’s sent me a legal notice saying he wants to end the contract. He’s asking for the rent amount for the past six months (at the previous rate without any increase) and is demanding that I vacate the property as soon as possible, threatening legal action if I don’t. For context, he has an identical house next to mine that he’s converted into six studios, and now he seems to be pushing us out.
I’d like to pay for the past six months and stay for the next six. Do I have any options left?

Is it really this hard finding a decent paying job in Abu Dhabi? I am a Licensed Professional Teacher in the Philippines with a bit of an experience in teaching and over 2 years of experience as a customer service representative. I have been an admin assistant and a secretary before as well.
I am fluent in English. I’ve had lots of interviews but they offer very low salary. Every single day I scroll through LinkedIn, Indeed, Naukrigulf, Foundit but no luck. Where can I apply? I am starting to lose hope.
Hi everyone. So I've been in my current building for like 4 years now. About a year ago, a fire broke out on my floor and the fire alarm system was turned off. At 3 am I smelled something very bad and when I opened the door my floor was filled with smoke you could barely see. I proceeded to ring the doorbells of people on my floor and scream to wake people up so that we could run out. Again, no alarm was ringing. The smoke was so bad now you couldn't see anything save for the light of the fire. We had to call the watchman of the building so that fire fighters could arrive.
I ended up having chest pain and coughs for weeks after it. The smell on our floor and apartment was terrible. (the fire burned all the garbage on our floor).
Despite this, I never asked for anything from building management.
Now currently with the situation in Lebanon, I wanted to get my sister and dog here. My building has always been that no pets are allowed I explained the situation and asked if they could allow my dog (he is very well trained). They refused.
I have been looking for another studio to move into with no luck. I asked if I could have one more month to look and they said new rule now you can only pay 3 months or 6 months (this was not the case before).
Idk I feel like this is personal almost? Like what are the odds the new "rule" comes when I need 1 month (I usually pay 3 or 6 months but I have paid monthly before).
I also need to mention that my floor's false ceiling is filled with black mold and my toilet had mold as well which they have told me is just "dirt" on the ceiling since I moved in. In fact I had mold on my wood (my window wasn't closing well) and they cleaned it with just water.
I just don't see why they're acting so entitled when I'm living in such a situation and just asking for at least another month to search for another apartment.
Is there something I can do?
Hello, I am looking to lease a car for the next 7 months but have heard differing things about my ability to do so. I have an EID but am 23 years old and have heard from some people that I have to be 25, yet I have been renting a car here for the past 2 months or so already, just think it would be more economical to lease rather than rent. any insight would be helpful thanks.
Hello, does anyone know a good and affordable company that does solar panel installation for a commercial warehouse in Abu Dhabi? I’m new to this so if someone could help me with how the process works as well would be really helpful thank you
Hi all,
A critical piece of information that is impossible to find online is the cost of ownership for townhouses here
I know that the costs are service charges, maintenance contract, and utilities (anything else?)
I am specially curious about Yas Noya, and Raha Gardens
If anyone is aware for these, please let me know
Have been searching for a 2 bedroom apartment to buy for own use for a while but its seem more or less impossible.
What's the point with sites like Bayut and Property finder? In most cases the properties description, photos and attached floorplan shows a whole different property.
For me its absolutely unbelievable that ads are not showing the particular property! I sometimes I get the answer that the photos are just examples 🙈🙉
I dont know how many inquirys I made to get the answer that the property is not available or is something totally different.
I have been approached for a VP position at Aldar, However, I'm a bit confused about the organizational structure. It appears that VP roles report to Directors, which is somewhat unusual compared to other organizations where VPs are typically higher than Directors. Can anyone provide clarity on how Aldar's hierarchy is structured, especially regarding VP and Director roles?
Additionally, if anyone has experience with Aldar's interview process, I would greatly appreciate insights on what to expect in terms of interview stages, preparation, and the overall timeline.
Lastly, I’d like to get an idea of the typical compensation bracket for VP positions at Aldar. Any information on salary ranges, benefits, or overall package expectations would be beneficial.
I have a driving test coming up soon, anyone know a good driving intructor that would offer pick ups collection from reem Island. Thanks

Hey All,
A bit confused here. I will be landing in Abu dhabi at around 12 PM. I have layover for around 11h and 30m.
Not sure if I should stay in Abu Dhabi and explore or I was also thinking of going to Dubai and come back before 3 hours of my next flight.
All kind of suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
