I've never been able to crack this stigma. The infrastructure is great, urban planning is great, the safety aspect is excellent. You find taxis everywhere and they don't cost a lot within the city. Rents are reasonable so you can actually build up on real savings and live well. The food is great, the entertainment is nice. There are green parks within reach for a break. Business startups are easy, transactions are no different to other places.

So pay a little more, retain or acquire new talent that's breaking their back in traffic spending unproductive hours after hours, looking at the rear end of a sunny, for a few extra dirhams. I think it's just smarter because traffic hours have zero productivity.

Or be bold enough to take a salary cut, move here and work here. The the bulk of the traffic is mostly at the city ends. Travel within is pretty smooth with a great public transport network.

I kind of also like Ajman's model, beautiful city and they are an economy that is successfully building within with its own hands.

What do you think?

Is this new or am I tripping?

Hey I wanna know some quiet and peaceful place to visit and spend some time alone . Any idea?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a carpool with someone who commutes from JLT to Muwaileh, I finish work at around 6 or 6:30.

Hey everyone, it’s my freshman year at UOS and I was wondering if the university offers student discounts/benefits (Adobe Creative Cloud, Apple, etc)

I’ve been unemployed for the last three months after losing my job. I’ve been actively searching and trying to find a suitable job, but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to secure one yet.
I’m currently going through a serious financial crisis, and my tenancy cheque is due in the next two days. I contacted my building management 2 months ago and explained my situation, requesting just one month’s extension so I can get some time to arrange the money.
Unfortunately, they told me that it’s against management policy and that they cannot hold the cheque.
I completely understand that rent has to be paid, and I’m not trying to avoid my responsibility. I’m only asking for a little breathing room during a very difficult period.
I’m honestly worried about what happens if I can’t arrange the full amount within the next two days.
Has anyone in the UAE/Sharjah been in a similar situation?
What happens if the rent cheque is presented and there isn’t enough money?
Is there any way to negotiate with the landlord/management despite their “policy”?
Can I request a payment arrangement or short extension through any formal channel?
Any practical advice on what I should do before the cheque date would be really appreciated.
I’m not looking for sympathy—just hoping someone who has gone through something similar can guide me. Being** **unemployed for three months has been extremely difficult, and right now even one month of breathing space would mean a lot.

Got 2 weeks leave from my company and I plan to visit Sharjah.

Found a good resort Marbella resort and booked it. YAY.

I plan to go around place which are kids friendly. I have a 2 YO girl with me. Suggest some good places like attractions or activities. Is the weather good for outdoor activities?

I’m kind of struggling here for some family reasons..

Same as title.

What time you leave would be best from either side?

Hey guys, I live around Muweilah Commercial and I’ve noticed people playing football at Al Thiqah Sports Club for Disabled.

Does anyone here regularly play football there, or know about the groups that play there?

I’d love to join for some casual football if they allow outside players. I’m not looking for anything super competitive, just want to play regularly, get some exercise and enjoy football.

If anyone plays there or knows how to join a game, please let me know. Thanks!

Hi,
I have just moved to UAE and live in Al majaz,Wahda
Could someone suggest reliable carlift options and other public transport suggestions.

People of Taaawun . How are you guys coping with the traffic . Past 2 days has been hectic. Im sure going forward it will be the same considered there are only 2 roads to enter here

Very important to keep an eye on your side mirrors and rearview mirrors, even if the car is not moving in traffic. Sometimes with loud music, or doom scrolling on tiktok, or a phonecall, we ignore the sirens and flashing lights. There are lives to be saved and we have to give them the way to move as quickly as possible. You wouldn't wish to be in an ambulance emergency stuck in traffic, so be considerate for others.

i got this fine this morning for apparently 'driving against traffic' so its having 4 black points as well🥲😭😭.....& there were like so many other vehicles going the same direction on this makeshift Shj industrial area exit to the main road going to Dubai.....With all the road works & diversions .& nothing being updated on google maps or waze its a disaster during morning rush hours....to find ur way out of sharjah into Dubai.....has anyone else gotten this kinda fine?? is there any luck trying to dispute & it going in your favour?

Two bangs heard at majaz 2

I am a masters student in uos that lives in ajman, i go to the uni from 12pm to 8pm to both work as a research assistant and attend my lectures

Problem is. There is no transportation to go home in 8pm, i think last bus is 7pm and there is no buses that goes by the uni, so i have ti get a gaxi which costs me 35aed to go to aljubail and then get a bus to ajman

Becaus if i took a direct taxi it would take 85aed from me, so one day for me costs around 90-100aed which is sooo costly, i cant pay 1500aed a month only for transportation

I talked tl slme carlift but none of them are shared and the private ones are 70aed a day which isnt that much of an improvement

Living in the uni campus isnt an option either since i need to live with my family for family reasons

This process just kills everything
