Just a heads up for the young ladies out there. Be safe!
I created an app to help prepare for the UAE Driving Theory Test 🇦🇪 – Looking for feedback!
Hi everyone! 👋
I’ve created an Android app to help people prepare for the UAE driving theory test. 🚗
If you’re planning to take your theory test in the coming days, I’d really appreciate it if you could give the app a try and share your honest feedback.
I’d love to hear what you find useful, what could be improved, and whether it helps you feel more confident before the test. Any suggestions or feature requests are also welcome!
📱 Download the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixel.uaedrivingtheory
Thanks a lot for your time and support! 🙏

Should I move to Dubai?
My husband got a job offer in Dubai, which means we need to relocate from Europe. The money is good 50k AED/month, and I would keep my remote european job until I can find something better there. He also got a matching offer in his current company to stay in Europe, but the future prospects would be better if he goes to Dubai.
However I am really scared of going now in the middle of all this regional issues and conflicts going on. I am not sure whether relocating there at the moment is a good idea.
Can anyone tell me honestly what’s life like at the moment, what is the general sentiment, what are the predictions? Are you scared?
6 years, 4 promotions, still AED 7K. Am I crazy to leave without an offer?
24F, 6 years at same UAE healthcare company. Started as PRE, now Assistant Manager managing 50+ people across 4 locations, 90%+ KPIs, recently got Lean Six Sigma Green Belt.
Still on AED 7K, working 12 hrs/day, no incentives, no proper JD
Asked for 9-hr days, raise, JD, learning support, but they said no to hours/raise, and "we'll review increment later if you renew on same terms."
I have 3-5 months savings but haven't started applying yet
- What do ops/quality roles actually pay in UAE at this level?
- How is hiring in ops/quality right now?
- What should be my realistic salary expectation?
Edit: Forgot to mention, my contract is up for renewal on 31 Oct, so I wouldn't be resigning, just not renewing. I'd like to leave on good terms without them making it difficult for me.
Giving birth for the first time in Dubai without my family and I’m freaking out 😭
I’m (23F) going to give birth in Dubai by the end of this month, and I don’t have any family here. This is my first time giving birth, and honestly, I’m starting to feel really overwhelmed.
I’m going to miss my sisters and my parents so much. 😭 Although I have my husband here, who is incredibly supportive, loving, and caring, I still feel like I’m going to miss my own family so much during such a huge and emotional moment in my life.
How am I going to do this without them??? I’m seriously losing it for real 😭😭😭

Thank you!

Expat couple- apartment ownership
My husband and i got married in Europe and drafted a prenup at the time. Weve now moved to dubai and were looking at buying an apartment. As he has a job here hell be taking on the mortgage in his name and placing the down payment while i clear out the monthly mortgage. How do we ensure legal safety incase we separate. Keeping in mind itll be in his name but ill be the one clearing the mortgage. In europe this isnt a concern as everything we own post marriage is joint property however im not sure how it would be handled here.
Adoption Request For Phil
🤍 Meet Phil 🐾
Phil is a lovely 2-year-old black and white boy who is looking for a home of his own. He’s neutered, vaccinated and a very playful little guy.
Phil’s mum was rescued while she was pregnant and brought to the home of a retired school teacher, who gave her a safe place to have her kittens. Phil grew up there with his brother and sisters and has been lovingly cared for ever since.
He’s now two, and we’d really love to see him finally have a family of his own. 🤍
The lady who has been caring for them has done so much for this little family, but as she gets older and deals with ongoing back problems, caring for several cats is becoming more difficult. Finding a kind, loving home for Phil would mean a great deal to her.
Phil is young, playful and has so much companionship to give. He just needs someone to give him that chance.
If you’re genuinely interested in adopting Phil, please send me a message. I’d be happy to tell you more about him and arrange for you to meet him.
And if Phil isn’t the right fit for you, a share would be so appreciated. You never know who might see his little face and decide he belongs with them. 🤍🐾
Note: Posting on behalf of the rescuer. Feel free to DM to get in touch with the rescuer directly and meet Phil ❤️

Rescuing a baby bird
Hey everyone. Last night I found an abandoned baby bird in Deira Island Beach. It was around 10pm and I looked for a nest anywhere closeby but Kiki (as we’ve named him/her) was left in the middle of the road. Now for those that don’t know, Deira Island Beach is a dog beach - obviously a dangerous situation for this baby bird so I didn’t wanna leave Kiki there. I have 0 experience taking care of birds, let alone one who hadn’t even grown into her feathers yet. Also I have a dog at home so that was not an option.
I tried calling Municipality and a lot of other vet centres as recommended in other Reddit posts but nobody would take her.
But finally about an hour later, I came across this Vet Center in Meydan who was willing to take her in, and keep her healthy until she could be released. The vet and man on the line, MK was extremely kind and helpful with Kiki and came over to the clinic in the middle of the night just to care for her. He also said he takes in all sorts of rescues for a small fee.
I just wanted to share this in case anyone else is ever looking for a place to keep these small animals safe.
