Apartment hunting in Al Raha

I’m hoping to move into an apartment in Raha within the next week, but it’s been a real challenge. My initial budget was between 55k to 65k for a 1-bedroom apartment, but it’s been tough finding anything that fits. It feels like every time I find a place that seems to be in my budget, I reach out to the agent only to be told that it’s not available anymore. At this point, I’ve lost count of how many listings I’ve reported for false availability.

Now, I’ve had to consider increasing my budget to around 70k, but I’m not sure if it’s even worth it. I’d appreciate any advice or tips from anyone who has gone through this or knows the area well. Should I keep holding out for something within my initial range, or is it better to accept the higher budget and move quickly? Any leads or recommendations are also welcome!

Hard to Make Friends Here :(

Hi, beautiful people. I am a bachelor guy on my late 20's, have been in the city for 7 months already and since, I find it hard to look for a real good friend. Everyone seems to have their own lives and don't care to socialize. I'm an empath, so I look for friends whom I can emotional connect with. I tried looking for some in various apps but seems like most I chat with only wants some good fun on bed. Like, where are the people here whom I can have deep talks with, walk together at night while chitchating or sit on a beach and take time to hang out with?

Writing this in my room which makes me feel close to being crazy hahah and the wide room space makes the atmosphere feel more empty.

That's it for now, beautiful people.

Do you think that the visa situation will be different in November?

A background i used to be a resident in Uae for over 15 years and after that ive had over 50 easily approved visas to uae over the course of couple years which usually I get them in less than 24 hours I’ve never ever had an issue

In October 4 of October, I applied for a visit visa and it got rejected on 7 October ( Dubai )

then the company I work for applied an employment ( abudhabi ) on the 15th and got rejected on the 18th of October

I need to be in Uae for work purposes before the end of this year and preferably in November

Seeking a dentist

Hello everyone, I recently felt pain in my tooth and it is so disturbing that I want to go to a dentist as soon as possible.

The thing is I have never had any medical experience here so I have few questions:

1- how much would it cost to fix a cavity in my tooth?

2-are all dentists here good? Should I go to the nearest one?

3-should I make an appointement prior to going?

Thank you in advance 🙏

Got scammed and sold our business

I invest in a business and open a shop. We had a written and stamped agreement that he will give me a portion of a profit and will return my investment after a year. 6 months after opening the shop, he stopped giving the profits. Little did I know after 3 months that he already sold the ownership on the 6th month. He promised to pay gradually until december but he is not responding anymore.

I just want to get an idea how can I report this former friend of mine and possibly get my money back. Is it better to get

Buying a used car

Hi everyone. So we’re trying to buy a used car from a garage but it’s been delayed a number of weeks now. The salesman is telling us that that delay is due to waiting for documentation from the traffic department.

Could anyone here give context to what that means or is it a red flag?

Etisalat

Hi all. My home broadband contract with Etisalat is finishing at the end of this month, 460AED, such a rip off. Anyway, I have been plagued by these agents calling me, basically everyday, during the day at night, morning time. I have told them to stop calling me, but it’s no use. Is there anyway I can get them to stop, because it’s honestly pushing me closer to just joining one of the other companies.
