Every time we visited Massimo’s in Dubai, it was a lovely experience. The food was authentically Italian, and Massimo himself was often there, chatting with guests and making everyone feel welcome. It had a genuine, cozy atmosphere—a place where Italians could gather and feel at home. I’m really hoping to find another spot like that.

Does anyone here take the busses in Al Ain? Theyre iconic at this point, with their orange color scheme ( the new busses are blue, like in AD ), I think everyone has seen them, especially in the central district.

However, the condition of the buses has completely deteriorated. The interior is in a state of disrepair. And for some reason, the stop buttons on all the buses have completely stopped working. Now you have to click the button to open the door in order for the bus to stop. The screens also sometimes dont work, showing an old windows error, and ive even seen busses with the outside led not working. So I had to ask the driver what number it is.

Compared to Dubai, it’s like a day and night difference. Even the routes don’t really make a lot of sense, and the bus schedule would have 2 busses coming within 10 minutes of each other, and the next coming in 2 hours. Google maps navigation doesnt correctly show the bus. Sometimes it says “20 mins delayed” leaving me waiting for a long while, only for someone to call the ITC and be informed that the bus is cancelled. Then there’s instances where google maps says that it’s cancelled, but the bus shows up exactly on time. This just causes a lot of wasted time and confusion, especially for those who rely on the bus for their work.

Its really sad, and it just encourages people to buy cars instead. Half of the people boarding the buses dont pay the fare anymore. And especially in the evening, (after 8 pm )where 80% of riders dont pay ( from what i have seen ), despite having the card with them. The evening also sees the worst of the problems I stated.

Other than that, taxis are very abundant, but they are very expensive.. you could take a taxi from bawadi mall to al yahar for 10 dirhams before, ( a long while ago ). now the minimum charge is 12 dirhams.

Hello all. Hope you all are well and good.

Does anybody have any leads on where one can join casual football games in and around Al Ain?

I'm specifically enquiring about this as a millennial, and would like to join groups of players in the same age bracket and as someone with a history of injuries. I must confess that I've not played the beautiful game in almost a decade, but have always been wanting to accommodate my love for the game amidst the busy lifestyle we have these days.

Thanks much in advance for any and all leads again.

Hello, guys. I heard from some people that there are recruitment companies in Al Ain for new graduates (For both Locals and Non-Locals), specifically for engineers, accountants, and similar fields. Is this true?

I’ve been looking for a job for my sister since five years, and we still haven't found a suitable position for her. From what I understand, recruitment companies help find jobs for applicants, and when a person is hired, a percentage of their salary is deducted monthly as long as they remain in the same company
