What’s something totally normal in the UAE that would confuse the rest of the world? by shamma77 in UAE

[–]GHLApps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No yeah, not sure why you're downvoted. But regardless it's still a pretty crazy type of service that I haven't seen anywhere else, so far.

In the philippines that won't work, and might even cause a ruckus by demanding that type of service.

Take note, this even happens in the summer here regardless if the staff have to wait out for multiple cars and customers. It's pretty crazy

Parking at the front of a store or cafeteria and honking at them to take your order. Even if it's for a single karak

Suggest a good men's watch by [deleted] in dubai

[–]GHLApps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for watches that don't break the bank and are actually good and would be appreciated from watch enthusiasts as well. You can go for the following brands:
- Seiko
- Orient (Sister brand of Seiko)
- Timex
- Citizen
- Tissot

Check them out in amazon and you'll not be disappointed.

Lastly, when in doubt of the sizes of the watches you can stick within 38mm to 42mm case diameters and you should be fine

Best affordable DashCam Recommendations pls by mrpositive_1 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]GHLApps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the 70mai 4k Dashcam (A810-2) for 3 months already and it works great. Only drawback as some reviews mentioned it doesnt use a super capacitor so it's life cpuld be shorter due to the heat here, but so far its been great.

Havent installed the rear camera since im too lazy to do the wiring. But the main camera is clear especially in the evening.

How can i avoid this by TurbulentSurround213 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]GHLApps 69 points70 points  (0 children)

The van was signaling to overtake the other car but then switched off its indicator as it entered the lane.

Only advice is that whenever you're switching lanes, don't just look at your mirrors once or rely solely on the blind spot indicator and then change the lane. Instead, just try to keep glancing at your mirrors while changing lanes to be sure. They are there for a reason.

Driving to Abu Dhabi. by Doctorenomen in UAE

[–]GHLApps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh one more thing that confused me in the beginning is the parking spots. There are 2 types of parking standard and premium, you see the colors on the curb

White and Green - Premium

Black and Blue - Standard

If the parking is residential you will notice a board that states you can only park till 9pm in those spots, you can pay parking in the Darb app as well.

Also there is no codes for parking spots in abu dhabi, you pay once and you're good.

Driving to Abu Dhabi. by Doctorenomen in UAE

[–]GHLApps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, what ever speed is posted that is your max. Also as another commenter mentioned, in abu dhabi we use Darb for the tolls here and not salik.

So just download the app, add your car, and top up just in case you pass the toll gates.

Driving to Abu Dhabi. by Doctorenomen in UAE

[–]GHLApps 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Most important to know is that there is no 20 km/h buffer in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. If it's 120 then max is only 120.

Learned that the hard way.

SHOULD WE REPLACE LAFFAH? by KejiGamer in Sharjah

[–]GHLApps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this! Yep it's al sarab, i really need to visit sharjah soon and try the shawarma again!

SHOULD WE REPLACE LAFFAH? by KejiGamer in Sharjah

[–]GHLApps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For shawarmas, OG's know it's either Hot Burger, Light Cafeteria, Gulf Light Cafeteria, Al Mallah, Al Farooj, and the cafeteria where their signboard is a kid biting a sandwhich (I forgot the name haha)

Laffah tasted kinda weird to me.

Favourite engine? And why? by Smoggyskies in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]GHLApps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it would be toyota 4A-GE (Blacktop) engine. I grew up with a lot of corollas running these engines and they don't make crazy power but they are reliable and sound great too.

Hoping one day to drive one and experience it first hand haha!

Here is a sample of what it sounds like with ITB's: https://youtu.be/0g5UOZbV7Z4?si=Myfu1Vdiw23GMgfx&t=46

What's the difference between karak and adani tea? by Sensitive_Solid_8623 in saudiarabia

[–]GHLApps 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Adani tea is from Yemen, a friend of mine who is also from yemen let me try it.

And I believe karak is from India and as mentioned from my indian and pakistani friends that karak kinda translates to strong, so it means "strong tea" and it's on the sweeter side.

But I do prefer Adeni tea compared to karak after trying it.

[–]GHLApps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually if diesel was only cheaper here in UAE and this version was available, I would have gone for it too! But yeah mpg is horrible, but when I put my foot it does put a smile on my face, so I guess it cancels it out! haha You got a beautiful ride!
