I’ve already done the basic research on visa routes, but I’d love first-hand input from people who moved recently:
What part of the process was most inaccurate or frustrating in practice; visa agents, real costs, housing, banking, or something else?
Trying to understand the gaps between online info and real life.
Firstly you demolish a whole section of roads from the 311 roundabout to Al Hamra, and placed detours everywhere.
Then you place detours on roundabout itself and the detours for detours that were already created.
Then move the tiny workforce to endlessly building detours. <in terminators voice> “This is Project Detour”
I failed to see an inch of new tarmac on demolished places for months now.
Is this a silent set buildup for Mad Max 3?
Ever head of completing and testing work in blocks? Unless i am missing something. I feel dubai would completed this work by now.
Helloow everyone. I am 25M and I work in IT sector. I have two questions.
For me personally I just work and then go home and sleep. And then it's a repeat. Sure I do go out with fam and stuff time to time. But it all seems a bit grey. Don't take me wrong. I am grateful for everything and everyone. It's just I feel lonely.
Drop a comment or dm me whichever feels comfortable for y'all.
Have a good day!
Hi everyone ,
My Dubai driving license gonna expired soon and I want it to renew it but with my Rakez license in RAK how can I do it ? My eye test is still valid and got everything but I don’t think I can do it online like RTA platform and MOI App is useless let me know where should I go pleaseeee
Weather in Ras Al Khaimah is honestly perfect today, had me thinking to just chill and skip… but nah, still going for Muay Thai training 💪
I’m looking to buy distressed off-plan property positions in Ras Al Khaimah.
This is only for people who have already bought an off-plan unit and now want out before completion.
I’m not looking for retail listings or agent-marketed resale deals. I’m specifically interested in situations where:
- You’ve changed plans and want to exit early
- The payment plan has become a burden
- You want to recover some capital and stop future payments
- The developer allows assignment of the contract
I’m a direct buyer with funds available and can move quickly once everything is confirmed.
I can:
- Take over the remaining payment plan (subject to developer approval)
- Pay a lump sum for any equity already paid in
- Keep everything straightforward and discreet
Happy for agents or brokers to get involved if they bring genuine deals. Any agreed fees would simply be deducted from the final agreed sale price rather than added on top.
Only looking at Ras Al Khaimah projects, ideally Al Marjan Island / Mina Al Arab or similar developments.
If this applies to you, message me with:
- Project name and developer
- Original purchase price
- Amount paid so far
- Remaining payment schedule
Serious distressed exit situations only please.

Thanks in advance ♥
PS: Hmu if anybodys interested
I’m heading for Muay Thai training here in Ras Al Khaimah. If anyone wants to join, feel free — beginners or experienced, all good.
Hello people,
Yet another dog (a Jack Russell) who got abandoned after making the Russian owner very happy for 13 years.
The dog was left at the villa he vacated (in RAK) and told the painter (my painter) that give this dog to someone who wants or “leave him outside”.
He left a week worth of food for the dog and i am assuming the painter would not keep the dog for more than a week. I insisted that he takes the dog to RAKAWC but you never know.
Anyone who’s interested in giving him a home, or help him find a home, please contact Tipu (i can share phone number if you DM, sucks that i cant post it here because of community rules)
Thank you
Hi everyone,
I’m currently based in the UAE and have been learning and working with AI tools for content creation (images, videos, social media designs, etc.).
I’ve been thinking about whether there is real demand in the UAE market (especially in places like RAK / Dubai) for services like:
AI-generated ads for real estate
Social media content for small businesses
Video ads using AI tools
From what I see, many small businesses here still don’t use high-quality content consistently.
So I wanted to ask:
Do businesses here actually pay for this kind of service?
Is the market already saturated?
Any advice from people working in marketing or business here?
I’m trying to understand if this is worth pursuing seriously or not.
Would appreciate honest feedback 🙏
Im moving to Julfar this weekend. Does it flood there when it rains? Because I have a car and I'm worried.
Hi! Just taking my chances here in case anyone is traveling from Ras Al Khaimah to Dubai anytime this week. I stayed at Rove Al Marjan for the weekend and realized I left my spare phone when I already got home. The hotel has confirmed they’ve found it and are safely holding it with their security team.
If you happen to be making that trip and wouldn’t mind helping me, I would really appreciate it. Also willing to pay some amount for the hassle. I’m happy to coordinate all details directly and can arrange a Porter or Careem box pickup once in Dubai ☹️
Please feel free to message me privately if you can help. Thank you so much in advance 😭
PS. I already understand enough how careless it was to have left a belonging in the hotel and definitely have no excuses for it 🙏🏼
Any other recommendations rather than 50/50 sanqini?

Hey guys,
I work as a freelancer, mainly in sales, but things have been pretty slow lately. I’ve suddenly got a lot of free time on my hands and honestly, I feel like I’m wasting it.
I’ve got experience in sales, decent communication skills, and I’m open to trying new things. I don’t mind putting in the effort.. just don’t want to sit around doing nothing when I could be making some extra cash.
What would you do in my position?
Any ideas for side hustles, online work, or even unconventional ways to make money?
Appreciate any suggestions 🙏
