Does anyone have someone / a company they can recommend?

Also, any guidance on what prices I can expect?

my school is a fucking hellhole, ever since the start of bridge classes, which was in mid march, till now, none of us have received textbooks, apparently the school is out of stock somehow, and cant give them, many of us have been relying on hand me down textbooks, or textbooks from ex 10 graders and online textbooks. i have exams starting tomorrow and preparing for them have been extremely difficult, not to mention that next week i have exams everyday no day gap with 5 chaps each on average, btw, its still april, our school year just started and their expecting us to write exams without proper textbooks, it has gotten so bad our teachers r personally telling everyone to ditch the school and buy them somewhere else, which leads me to ask if theres any bookstore in sharjah that sells grade 10’s CBSE NCERT textbooks

Do yall know fast food places in dubai that don’t support israel

I got a job offer that in conversation I was excited about but after seeing the package it doesn’t entice me to leave my current work. The money is great and definitely better than what I’m making but the benefits don’t even touch what I have right now. Plus I’ve heard conversation that it’s a very disorganized place and I’m not sure I want that instability - how do I decline nicely especially because I was so enthusiastic about it in the phone but after comparing the 2 packages I’m more and more sure this move isn’t right.

I’m currently looking for a university to attend for my bachelors in Europe that’s taught in English & that I can attend ( along with living expenses ) at a maximum of 40K DHS, I’m interested in cyber security/information security or computer systems with specialization in cyber/info security (things in the computing field focusing on cyber security in general ) . Does anybody have any suggestions on countries that would be in my budget ?

Anyone else experiencing sudden change in their health? Yesterday, there was rain in Sharjah and since then I have a terrible cold and fever. Surprisingly, even my car was having breathing difficulties.

Hello there!

I plan on moving to Dubai soon, and wondering if it's possible to exchange my saudi driver's license to a UAE driver's license, though i'm not a citizen i'm a resident of saudi arabia. And i'm from tunisia.

​

Would there be a hassle to do this? How's the procedure.

Have very difficult neighbors who seem to have a habit of harassment as a way of making money likely. They've called the cops on us with false accusations and their kids keep harassing us.

Trying to understand what's the risk? Penalty? Jail? Travel ban?

It looks other people are also subletting or even some singles living in this family building(ijari mentions this as a family building).

Thx

Hey guys! I have been trying for a few months now to land a job in Dubai.

I am 27 years old and I am a Business Developer from Portugal and have been going through all the different job portals and linkedin almost on a daily basis to ensure I cover all the relevant works and companies.

However, so far I have got 0 interviews and 0 concrete opportunities moving forward.

I am curious to know exactly what you did and how you manages to land a role. I know networking is big (I have been doing so via Linkedin) and referrals (no luck on this end). I have also have been cold applying to relevant roles but so far no luck either.

Would you mind sharing some tips and tell your story? I have redone my resume and linkedin profile to be more ats friendly and I saw a slight increase in the profile views but again, nothing serious…

Thanks in advance!

Is anyone else tired of these FAKE recruitment agencies in the UAE?!

Here's the scam:

​

• They spam you with emails promising jobs.
• You jump through hoops with endless back-and-forth messages.
• Interviews are a joke - 50 seconds of nonsense questions that tell you NOTHING about the job.
• And guess what? They want MONEY upfront for a "guaranteed" offer that never materializes!

This is a total waste of our time and money! They clearly prey on people who are desperate for work. Where's the government on this?! This is outrageous! All I want is a real opportunity, not some shady scheme!

P.S. I won't mention nationalities, but we all know who these "agencies" usually are.

Upvotes for awareness! Let's expose these scumbags!

Right, there must be some 2nd hoggers sat here on this forum.

Could one of you please explain why you do it!

Last time I was in UAE was more than a year ago. I live in Singapore now, and I'm hearing from my Malaysian coworkers that back in their home many prefer not to eat at BDS Boycotted restaurants now. Stores are relatively emptier than before. My question is do you guys notice something similar in the UAE? Especially to those outside of Dubai and in other Emirates.

Even when I was there (RAK) I didn't go to fast food much because the cafeteria under my building and many cafeterias near me made good and cheap food anyway. Cafeteria fries are 50/50, either best fries ever or the cheap tasting ones you buy from grocery. And still I would eat those than Mcdonalds always too salty fries.

I went to Corniche last Friday but was disappointed to find it closed due to recent bad weather. The security people said it would be closed at least another week but I'm leaving before then.

Is it worth trying another beach in town or are they all closed? I can't find anything online and am afraid of travelling to one only to find them closed too.

Thanks
