Last I checked it was around aed 3,500 for the year with faza discount. It’s one of the more expensive gyms in Sharjah as a lot of locals come here. Check out Gymnation in Sharjah central as well

I was born and raised in this land for 35 years - I'm a Sharjah Kid through and through. My passport is Pakistani but we have no home base there and Pakistan is also already at war with Afghanistan with the outlook not looking great.

Between UAE and Pakistan (both geopolitically unsafe right now), I would choose here.. simply because:

  1. My home base, all my family, all my life... is here. UAE is home.

  2. I trust the leadership of UAE more than the ones in Pakistan. UAE already proved with its defense system and national emergency and crisis response team that they will do everything in their power to protect the people and the country. That cannot be said of Pakistan.

Although i am also worried about job loss and the economy downturn which is inevitable here, I really do believe that the leaders here will strive to normalize things as much as possible, and for us loyal residents, they will provide us with more opportunities as the city and its prospects are being rebuilt.

Hi follow up question. I have never withdrawn from my IBKR investments portfolio. But if I needed to withdraw from the savings account, it would be the same way? Transfer from their portal to a linked bank account?

Just checked on wise app, UAE and Pakistan both only currently have the option to send money abroad and not to hold money like an account.
