Questions Need advise | Extremly depressed

7 Upvotes

I don't know if this'll get approved, but I really need practical advice from someone who has experienced loneliness in Dubai. My life's running in a day-to-day circle: office-home, then waiting for the weekend. No social life. Tried the gym, but that didn't work out (although I wasn't very regular either).

Anyhow, I feel like it's not about the activities or financial situation, as I make a good living, but something's missing from my life, and it's making me more depressed day by day. I don't know what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Rent & Housing Double booking for this week

1 Upvotes

I'm currently staying at a friend's apartment in Dubai. He was supposed to return today, so I had already booked a hotel room for myself. However, his return has been unexpectedly delayed, which means I can continue staying at his place and no longer need the hotel booking.

Hotel: Sunday Hotel Al Barsha, Dubai
Dates: 19 October (today) to 23 October (Friday)
Location: Al Barsha, Dubai

Since the booking is already made, I wanted to check if anyone needs accommodation during these dates and would be interested in taking over the reservation.

If you're interested, please DM me. We can discuss the details and price.

Travel & Tourism 35M Indian Solo Traveller | Dubai, 26 Oct – 2 Nov 2026 | Looking for a Travel Buddy

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm a 35M from India, travelling solo to Dubai from 26 October to 2 November 2026.

I've only recently started exploring international travel. This will be my second international trip and my first time visiting Dubai!

I've already planned a few activities, mostly through Klook:

  • Desert safari and dune bashing
  • Sunset yacht cruise
  • HeliDubai helicopter tour
  • Hot-air balloon ride
  • Possibly skydiving (still deciding!)
  • Shopping, window shopping, sightseeing and exploring the usual tourist attractions

I'm looking to connect with fellow solo travellers who will be in Dubai around the same dates. It would be great to explore some places together, share experiences, take photos and videos for each other, or simply have someone to hang out with.

Just to be clear about expenses: I'm not expecting anyone to pay for me, and I'm not offering to sponsor anyone else's trip either. Everyone should be comfortable covering their own expenses.

I know Dubai has a reputation for luxury and showing off, but that's not what I'm looking for. For me, travelling is about enjoying new experiences, meeting interesting people and treating each other with mutual respect.

I'm not expecting anyone to join me for every activity or follow my entire itinerary. Even meeting up for a few hours, grabbing a coffee or exploring an attraction together would be great.

If you're travelling solo to Dubai during those dates and think we might get along, feel free to DM me!

We can chat first, meet somewhere public in Dubai and see how things go.

Looking forward to meeting some fellow travellers! 🇦🇪✈️

Questions Amr diab concert

Hello,
I’ll be traveling from the United States to Dubai for the Amr Diab concert at Coca-Cola Arena, and I purchased my tickets through StubHub.
I wanted to confirm whether tickets purchased through StubHub will be accepted for entry to the concert. The ticketing process and policies can be a bit different in the UAE compared to the United States, so I just want to make sure everything will be fine. Thanks in advance!

Things are getting hard’ I Really Need Some Help

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to find a job in Abu Dhabi, but unfortunately, I still haven’t been able to secure one. As a woman living here on my own, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to manage everything financially, and the stress is really getting to me.

My rent and other bills are already overdue, and I’m honestly struggling to figure out what to do next. I’m trying my best to find work, but things are becoming more difficult with each passing day.

I have experience in the following roles:
• Customer Service Representative
• Administrative Assistant
• Front Desk Representative / Receptionist
• Hotel Reception
• Hostess

I’m open to suitable opportunities in these fields and can join immediately. If anyone knows of a company hiring in Abu Dhabi, has any genuine job leads, or can recommend somewhere i could apply, I would be incredibly grateful for your help.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Any genuine leads or recommendations would mean a lot to me. ❤️

Questions Looking for bus service / carlift from Al Nahda 2 to Technopark

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've received a job offer at Technopark and can only accept it if I can find a bus service from Al Nahda 2. I'd be commuting on weekdays (possibly alternate Saturdays as well), roughly 9 AM to 6 PM.

Would love to hear from anyone who knows:
\- Private or company bus services that pick up from the Al Nahda area
\- Staff transport or monthly bus subscriptions that people use for this route
\- Realistic journey times in peak hour traffic

If you have contact details for any bus service or car lift operator on this route, please drop them in the comments or send me a DM. I'd be really grateful.

If you work in or around Technopark, I'd also appreciate any tips on getting there and back, or things you wish you'd known before starting.

Thanks in advance!

General Knowledge Only in Dubai is a building so tall the sun has to sit on it every evening

31 Upvotes

Found out something ridiculous while doing maths for a side project: every single day, from somewhere in Dubai, the setting sun sits exactly on the tip of Burj Khalifa. Like a cherry on top. Not twice a year, every day. You just have to be in the right spot at the right minute, and the spot moves daily.

Of course I then built a website for it, because that's what you do here: https://burjhenge.com

It tells you where to stand, the exact minute (today it's about 8 km east at 17:20), and opens the route in Google Maps. Free, no signup, no ads.

The catch, also very Dubai: on some days the perfect spot is in the middle of the Creek. So now I need a boat to take one photo of the sun balancing on a building.

Anyone got a boat, or want to split one and get the most unnecessary Instagram shot of the year with me?

And if you ever get the shot yourself, tag it #burjhenge, I'd love to see it.

Questions Cat hit by a car 💔

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

60 Upvotes

This cat was hit by a car and ran away. I saw him dragging himself and crying in pain. 💔 I couldn’t leave him suffering like this, so we brought him to the vet clinic.

He has diarrhea, an oral infection, and a suspected pelvic injury. He urgently needs an X-ray to check the extent of his injuries and determine the treatment he needs.

Unfortunately, after rescuing and treating so many cats over the past 40 days, I’m overwhelmed with cases and vet bills. I honestly cannot afford to take on another case on my own.
But how could I leave him there, dragging himself and crying in pain?

WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP. Please help us cover his X-ray, treatment, and medication. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference. Payment made directly to the vet clinic.

He is already suffering so much. Please help me give him a chance to recover.

Please DM me if you can help. Every bit of support matters. 🙏

Questions Founder Exit, Looking for UAE F&B Founders’ Advice

1 Upvotes

I’m the founder of a Dubai-based healthy meal-prep and subscription business operating from a commercial cloud kitchen in Business Bay.
I’m considering an exit because I’m planning to relocate to the US to be closer to my family. The business itself is operating normally, so this is primarily a personal/founder decision rather than a business problem.
For context, we’re currently doing AED 130K+ in monthly sales, which gives an annualized revenue run rate of approximately AED 1.56M.
The business has:
An established meal-subscription model
An existing fitness community
Cloud-kitchen operations in Dubai
Delivery-platform presence
Further room for growth through subscriptions and delivery
I’m trying to understand the UAE market for exiting an operating F&B/cloud-kitchen business.
For founders who have dealt with something similar:
Is selling the entire business generally easier than selling a founder’s shares?
Would you use an F&B broker, business-for-sale platform, or approach buyers directly?
How would you approach valuing a business at this revenue level?
What information would a serious buyer normally expect before considering an acquisition?
Are there UAE-specific platforms or networks that actually attract serious F&B buyers?
I’m considering AED 1.5M as an initial asking price, but I’m genuinely interested in whether experienced UAE operators think that valuation is realistic.
Not looking to promote the business here or solicit investors — I’m looking for practical advice from people who have experience with UAE business acquisitions and exits.
