Hi,

Is the new Federal Decree about equal opportunities for GCC Citizens same as Emirati Citizens, implemented or not yet?

Because I am thinking to move to Abu Dhabi..

Hello, a friend of mine own a house with his wife. They want to sale it , but both them are not residents in the UAE. Only one of the two can come for the paper work to UAE. I wonder if someone had similar experience and how to deal with a power if Attorney document from abroad ? Thanks

Hey r/abudhabi!

I'm planning to move to AD for work in Mussafah and looking for some advice on renting an unfurnished 1-bedroom apartment. What's a realistic budget I should expect? Preferably looking for something not too far from Mussafah to keep the commute manageable.

Some specific questions:

• What's the average rent range for a decent 1BR in that area?
• Which neighborhoods would you recommend that are close to Mussafah but still have good amenities?
• Are utilities usually included in rent? If not, what's the typical monthly cost?
• What should I watch out for when renting unfurnished? (Hidden fees, maintenance issues, etc.)
• Any recommended real estate websites or agents I should check out?

Thanks in advance for any tips! This will be my first time renting in Abu Dhabi so any advice is appreciated.

hi, if anyone is willing to give away their Coldplay tickets for the Abu Dhabi show, at a normal price and not something ridiculously expensive, please dm me!

I’m looking to get an item (nothing illegal) from one of those countries and have found international couriers to be crazy expensive so was wondering if anyone could lend a hand.

The item in question is food related. It’s called Jotis profiteroles and as i understand it’s available in most supermarkets there.

Any கோவை மக்கள் in Abu Dhabi? I've seen many Tamil people here in Abu Dhabi, but I'm more curious if there are people from கோவை..

Salam/Hi everyone,

I’m a fresh software engineering graduate (2023) without any professional experience yet, and I’m looking for any kind of job opportunity in the Middle East. Although my degree is in software engineering, I’m completely open to all fields. I can work in shops, on farms, assist in mosques, or anything really. If I need to learn something new or the job requires a skill that I don’t have, I’m willing to learn in a short time. If there’s a humanitarian or Islamic organization that needs volunteers or workers, including things like Hajj or Umrah, I’d be honored to volunteer/work. On a different note, I’ve also trained in MMA, so if someone needs a fighter or anything similar, I’m open for that as well.
ps. Am a Muslim Arab.

If you know of anything or have opportunities to share, please PM me for more details or to connect. Jazakum Allahu Khair / Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone.

I've worked in the Automotive Industry, specifically car rental and leasing for the last 15 years. Born and bred in DXB, I'm sick and tired of reading about people getting scammed, ripped off and generally let down by various car rental companies in the UAE.

Posting this on here to say, if you do need to rent a car in the UAE, reach out to me and I'd be happy to sort you out with a reputable, trustworthy car rental business that does actually return deposits.

Mistakes happen and God knows we try our best as a leading brand in the region to address any and all issues raised by customers to the best of our ability.

So if you need a monthly rental, run around for a few days or are flying in and need something to explore the city in, hit me up!

If you need help with issues you may be facing with a local car rental, happy to assist you with a solution, recommend you next best course of action or just give you info on what you should n shouldn't do.

Ps. Like all things in life, if the rate offered is too good to be true, IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!

Still figuring out my way around Reddit so excuse any errors or do point out what I can do better.

Hi I'm 22 F, due to issues with life I reached here and currently pursuing Senior Highschool while working. I wanted to ask what Career would have a decent pay but I'll still have time to go to school. Currently working at a company, everything used to be good until they changed the HR(ALL the old ones left) and Company Drama happened, even commissions for staff(us) isn't even being given anymore like how it used to be due to management issues.

I can get those 1yr certifications n such, my only experience is 2yrs as an admin in the fitness industry in abu dhabi, I just need suggestions on good paying jobs I can pursue (maybe) temporarily where I can afford college, living n such.

Would love any info, any advise

Hello everybody!

As the title states, I'm trying to look for an online platform to study/finish my bachelor's degree, preferably looking for those that offer a complete virtual learning experience and that I have full control over the timings and such. I finally have the chance to let my self study after dragging myself up from nothing. I'd appreciate any recommendations!

Hi guys! Has anyone had any experience with purunity water filters? We are currently on a 7 day free trial so far the service has been great with the whole setup/ enquiry with them. But I’m concerned that it’s hooked up to the mains water. Is it actually okay to drink this water or do you think the bottled water is better to use?

Any info would be amazing! 🙏

Tried a few different types of Shawarmas from different restaurants in Abu Dhabi and I feel it's hard to beat the Shawarmas served in Bait Al Khetyar. Any other restaurants that can compete???

or am I breaking social conventions

Hello everyone,

I recently relocated from the UK to the Middle East after marrying a Saudi citizen and have been job hunting for months. Despite sending over 1,000 emails and securing offers from globally renowned firms, local clients have declined, citing insufficient experience. I have 8+ years of UK experience, awards in technology and design, published work, and am pursuing a PMP certification to boost my prospects.

Considering the lack of progress here, I’m exploring opportunities in Dubai, where responses have been better. However, if I can’t secure a role soon (4-6 weeks), I may need to return to the UK, where interest has been immediate—though this could strain my marriage. I’d greatly appreciate any advice to improve my search and land a role quickly.

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased an EV and live in a villa in Abu Dhabi. I'm a bit concerned about the installation of a fast charger.

I initially thought I could simply connect the charger to my existing electrical panel. However, I've heard that a special cable directly from the power station might be required. This is quite worrying, as I'm not sure if I can convince the villa owner to agree to such a significant installation.

I have a daily commute of around 80 miles, so home charging is crucial for me.

Questions:

Is it common to require a direct connection from the power station for fast chargers in villas in Abu Dhabi? What are the typical costs and procedures involved in such an installation? Are there any alternative solutions, like slower chargers or portable chargers, that I could consider? Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! My father recently passed away and my mother is here with me on a tourist visa. I am going to sponser her under my name. The only thing i have done until now is the Attestation of father’s death certificate. Today a typing centre told me that my birth certificate needs to be attested too. Anybody recently gone through the same process, could you advice?

P.S. My visa is from abu dhabi. Mother’s age is 56years.

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to move to Abu Dhabi in January and I'm particularly interested in Al Reem Island. I've heard great things about the area, but I'd love to get some recommendations on the best towers to consider.

1. What are the recommended towers to look at on Al Reem Island?
2. Does anyone have any feedback or experiences with Reem Nine Towers?

Any insights, tips, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi everyone! I have a beautiful female British short hair cat I’ve had her for 5 years now and she’s the sweetest cat ever (extremely friendly and gentle). Unfortunately I can’t keep her anymore because my 1 year old developed allergies from her which is very sad cuz she’s used to her since she was born. I’ve considered giving her to foster homes but I’m not quite comfortable with that as idk if the environment might be harsh or if other cats would fight with her. I prefer giving her to a loving home instead.

If anyone’s interested please reach out.
