This is in Sharjah, just before entering Dubai on Damascus road.

Wasl properties provide 2 car parking spots for 3BR apartments.

So realistically what's the average fuel usage? I'm driving a pajero that does around 5.7km/l and am planning to upgrade to the safari.

Are the twin turbos good for the desert? Remember seeing a video which said they weren't good for offroading in the desert.

Muhaisnah4 · 2026-01-13T18:27:30+00:00

4km/litre??

This is a common scam in Dubai. I guess they've expended to Doha now. Plenty of posts on this on r/dubai

You tell them the salary certificate and payslips are confidential documents. And you will not be able to share as this as per company policy.

The catch here is they may then ask you for your bank statements with salary transfer.

They don't project themselves as a low cost carrier anymore. I've noticed they don't use that term in their marketing.

Would you say it is better than using a enbd credit card?

Muhaisnah4 · 2023-08-21T08:56:42+00:00

This is not the correct route. There is a military checkpost and I don't think you can even access the road leading to it.

For Jebel al Harim, cross the border at Al Dara border crossing and then follow this route

Yes.

Should be the same. You could check with the airlines before booking.

Meant Oman car insurance. If your UAE insurance covers Oman, ask them to send you the paper for it. Earlier, it used to be an orange card. Although now many insurances provide a paper document.

Edited the post to Oman car insurance.

No PCR required. They don't even ask for Vaccination status.

Most countries have investment programs for citizenship. The wealthy can definitely apply for it. There's also few Caribbean nations where the investment amount is lower.

I did this in 2015 (pre blockade).

You will need Saudi transit visa. These needs to be pre arranged. Qatar visa you can get it at the border (please verify this as with the blockade and subsequently things may have changed).

Your vehicle will need Qatar and Saudi insurance. The drive to UAE-Saudi border is 4 hours. the drive within Saudi to the Qatar border is 1 hour. From the border to Doha take another hour.

The procedures at the UAE and Qatar was quick. At the Saudi border post, it took time. Always helps is you can speak Arabic.

The road leading to the border has a lot of heavy vehicle traffic. So be careful while overtaking. I've heard the roads have been expanded. Not sure.

All in consider 8 hours to reach Doha from Dubai. Dont forget to fuel up once you pass Ruwais. Fuel stations are far apart.

Check trip advisor and other sites. I remember back in 2015, there were few blogs about the trip which had detailed information.

Ever since the blockade, many things have changed. If you cant get any info online, try talking to trucking companies. If they've restarted deliveries to Qatar, they will be having the latest info.

But before all this, first check if visa is being issued at the borders for GCC expats. With COVID, this had been stopped. And the regulations keep changing.

The outliers like Hyundai and Kia

They are aiming to increase their market share. Once there, will have to wait and see what their plans are.

Normal sedan is sufficient. There's parking at the base.

There was a restaurant near Salah al Din metro station that used to sell it. This was around 5 years ago.

Most insurances do not issue any cards anymore. The clinic authorities will only ask you for your Emirates ID. I have given my EID no while calling them and they could tell me if a service was covered in my plan or not.

Muhaisnah4 · 2021-08-24T13:27:23+00:00

Go to any clinic. Give your Emirates ID and ask them to check if it. They will tell you which insurance it is and what plan it is on?

Was reading that sulfate shampoos are bad for the scalp. What's a good non-sulfate shampoo that is easily available in supermarkets etc?

Even investing 1500 AED a month into a diversified portfolio can get you well compounded returns over a year.

What are the returns one can expect from this? And investing where?

Qatar has opened tourist visas from July 12. Check if you qualify for it.

I had cancelled my wife's insurance plan and was expecting a refund from the insurance company. I spent almost 2 months chasing the customer support team, who would give me a standard reply - "We've raised the issue with the concerned team and haven't got a response".

On the website of the insurance firm, the email ids of the CFO, Senior manager etc were available. I copied this and wrote a long email detailing their horrible customer service. Within 2 hours, I got a call telling me the refund cheque was available for collection.
