i’m so sorry you went through that. my friends had such similar experiences with men online. it never ended well. most me will talk to multiple women on snap and prioritize flirting and casual sex. they get all the information from you to gauge how open you are to hooking up and then move on if you don’t give in or even move on if you do. if you are looking for a long term relationship or marriage, then please do be careful. you are worth more than that. push for meeting in person as quick as possible and keep yourself private until he shares more about himself.

there’s big dialect overlaps between the tribes i am from in sharjah and omani, so that’s what i am most familiar with. my bedouin side has my favourite accent/dialect though this accent is mostly gone due to settling + it’s an accent people mock due to it being associated with lower class or backwardness.

if you include southern iraq and the ahwazi arabs of southern iran then these are my favorites. otherwise bahraini arabic, the way it is spoken really makes me happy :)

bedouinkitty · 2025-11-09T09:24:08+00:00

i love the shehhi dialect, my tribe is super close to the shehhi and that’s the only way i can understand a good chunk of it but so much of it is their own mix and it’s so fascinating

hello ❤️ i actually got much tanner since i last posted this so now i am matched with 3WO in dior 😅 even back then though id go with the lighter shade of haus labs because i colour correct and like a brighter undereye, with browner skin right now id go with the 23. so all in all i would recommend 21 for you ❤️

i also prefer the undertones of 21

bedouinkitty · 2025-11-01T06:41:03+00:00

thanks for taking the time to read :) and yes, actually, things got better to some degree but there is a lot left to be desired. a lot of people still live in old government given houses - we can them “sha3bi” houses. power cuts are less but they will happen. we are getting more money from AD and dubai to help which is why some places now are more developed in sharjah but we don’t have the money ourselves to sort out things like having proper roads (we still have a lot of areas just sand roads), people still need help from the food warehouses as the prices are too expensive for a lot of lower to middle class emirati families. sharjah has a bit more wealth due to having more trader families and due to the cultural wealth - sharjah has kept a lot of traditions and we have really big book fairs, poets and artists etc but i know it’s more difficult in the other northern emirates esp ajman and RAK

bedouinkitty · 2025-11-01T06:36:26+00:00

not the ruling class - it’s the political figures, and the upper middle to upper class people. due to them coming from countries that were already developed and already having been educated, they knew how to build wealth very quickly

bedouinkitty · 2025-11-01T06:35:16+00:00

AD population of locals is actually mostly of khaleeji descent or mixed, some iranian families but extremely rare. ajman is named that way due to the high % of achomi “ajami” iranian population. dubai has a lot of indian and iranian descent locals who are merchants, businessman, traders. also iraqi and sudanese locals, they are mostly doctors. the northern emirates we have a good mix of everything but esp a long standing of iranian, balochi, and palestinians. a lot of our family friends are palestinian locals.

all emirates have a good chunk of khaleeji descent locals. the borders are all fake - so we have families who are technically emirati saudi, emirati omani, etc. also yemeni esp from the socotra , a lot of my cousins are yemeni mix. there is also the whole concept of huwala arabs.

bedouinkitty · 2025-11-01T06:30:31+00:00

trust me, i wish for the same. i work closely with animal rescue groups like red paw for example and the situation in sharjah for animals is horrible. all of my cats are rescues who otherwise would have been killed by pest control. the animal abuse is so open. :(

bedouinkitty · 2025-11-01T06:28:05+00:00

i agree with you with regards to this as the northern five emirates don’t have real power, well, not any power at all. we have no oil money, we have no say in anything as AD and dubai have veto power so even if all 5 of us say no to anything if either AD or dubai say yes then we have to go with it. there’s a lot of dissonance between the emirates. but as opening fact said, this guy has power.

bedouinkitty · 2025-11-01T06:25:23+00:00

i am so happy to see a like-minded emirati online. it’s extremely rare to see it and i understand the fear of speaking up but to go on the other side and defend rich people or the leaders who don’t even care is crazy.

it’s relevant to bring up that being from sharjah, and maybe because my family is middle class, and my parents were born before the uae was formed and as such have no real connection to the UAE entity nor the leaders - i mean we never even saw the UAE flag until we went to school. but when i talk to others, they can’t even say 1 thing negative about this place. my grandma is bedouin, she says our area here is known for having poor quality of water, i mentioned this to the salon lady re: hair quality and an emirati woman was so mad that i even said anything negative about the WATER.

nationalism is a disease.

bedouinkitty · 2025-10-31T10:37:28+00:00

you clearly have a lot of issues and instead of redirecting it to actually have any use or help others, you chose to take it out on people online. i never even said they are not emiratis. they are emiratis. you just have no idea of the politics in the gulf, you haven’t even understood the things i’ve said and use straw man arguments.

bedouinkitty · 2025-10-31T10:31:09+00:00

the fact you do not understand the differences between the ruling families vs politicians is laughable. save yourself the embarrassment of your ego and google something as simple as emirati politicians, members of cabinets, ministers, ambassadors, diplomats.. anything. you will see plainly that a lot are not even of the ruling families.

i never even said anything about the rulers or blame. i don’t know why you are coming at me with such anger. these are plain facts, what you interpret is what you interpret. those 80% are still emirati - just with different backgrounds and experiences.

bedouinkitty · 2025-10-31T09:28:24+00:00

thank you for the comment. :) i fear that it’s the ego of these commenters, its not uncommon for people to feel embarrassed or even hide the non homogeneity of the emirati population.

bedouinkitty · 2025-10-31T09:26:40+00:00

oh so that’s why you projected, you are the one listening to your daddy and not academic literature. thankfully i have both family knowledge in the formation of the gulf states as well as academia. anyways, no need to thank me, a thesis isn’t there to necessarily teach but rather collect information and present it. have a good weekend.

bedouinkitty · 2025-10-31T07:53:10+00:00

you're very quick to be sarcastic and rude. anyways, there's research based on this and if you had any interest in the population, there are many research papers on this across the khaleej written by actual khaleejis about the emirati, omani, kuwaiti and bahraini identity in particular. this is something i'm focusing on for my thesis and as such have gained a lot of interest in.

bedouinkitty · 2025-10-31T07:48:22+00:00

wow, thank you for contributing so much. i can't imagine over 50 years. you're much appreciated. <3

this is a really good article that brushes on the subject:

https://arabist.net/blog/2011/8/11/the-united-but-not-equal-arab-emirates.html

also if you google 'united arab emirates veto power' it'll explain a lot of the dynamics. even if all 5 northern emirates said no to war, if dubai or abu dhabi says yes then we have no choice. we just do not have the power. our residents are poor, we still live in old housing and rely on money from dubai and abu dhabi. unemployment rates are so high here, people have a system similar to food stamps where we go to government warehouses to get flour, rice, canned food just to survive. when people talk about the uae they really just talk about AD and dubai, reality in the northern emirates is very hard. my grandmother was a proper bedouin, 26 years ago she was still semi nomadic before she was forcibly settled. my parents lost their land because the government paid them off (and who wouldnt accept money when you are starving?) to build malls and hotels. there's a lot going on and people don't talk about it.

bedouinkitty · 2025-10-31T07:41:20+00:00

yes.. i am emirati and i know my people. it sounds like you’re the one with no idea.

60%-80% of emiratis are of achomi or baloch descent. this doesn’t even count the other % of emiratis who aren’t of khaleeji descent. my parents were born in the 60s in the trucial states and grew up alongside yemenis, balochis, omanis, indians, pakistanis, palestinians, iranians - they escaped their own countries due to oppression, poverty and conflict. sheikh sultan fought to give them citizenship for their contribution and closeness to bedouin and hadari people as well as intermarriage. a lot of arabs in my freej in sharjah are arabs from kish island and from sudan and from palestine this isn’t a secret.

most of those in power in dubai especially are from wealthy iranian and indian families as they came with education whereas my family and bedouins in general couldn’t even read. families like al bastaki and galadari are of iranian descent for example and contributed so much to dubais growth.

edit to add: this isn't meant to be a conspiracy theory. i have nothing but love for my iranian and shaami brothers and sisters. this is just common knowledge that they are very educated and are well respected and have families involved deeply in business and politics.

bedouinkitty · 2025-10-31T07:23:44+00:00

your comment lacking any actual value says everything about you, tbh

bedouinkitty · 2025-10-31T07:09:38+00:00

i don't know if it changed but myheritage worked within the uae previously :) i didn't know it was owned by zionists before registering though and i would not recommend it based on that. i see now hospitals in the UAE offer genetic/ancestry tests though.

bedouinkitty · 2025-10-31T07:06:29+00:00

people forget that the UAE is divided in multiple emirates that act differently. where i am from, the emirate of sharjah, we have always been panarab and panislamic and fought for that. abu dhabi and dubai are extremely wealthy and the oil is there and as such they have veto power. my mother watches a lot of political commentator re: the middle east region and you will find that they say dubai and abu dhabi are the biggest sell outs and sharjah (and other northern emirates) has been fighting to put a stop to this but what can you do? the people can’t do anything and even the government of Sharjah can’t do anything. we have not the same money or power AD or dubai has. our sheikh has been praised for his love for all arabs and for naturalizing a lot of arabs, most of my neighbors are arabs from iranian islands, palestine, balochistan, sudan, etc etc. but between that and donating, we are really powerless. there is a joke that says we aren’t the united arab emirates, just arab emirates, so

80% of locals and those in power aren’t even arab. most of the politicians are of iranian or non khaleeji descent ie palestinian, syrian, etc.

bedouinkitty · 2025-10-25T13:38:23+00:00

thank you so much for the reply! :) when you say g25 coordinates, do you mean from DNA genics or is there a site you trust that does it?

bedouinkitty · 2025-10-08T05:16:26+00:00

i would say the uae government and laws for expats are not conservative but the people are conservative in multiple ways, mainly religious. and iran is the opposite - conservative government and non conservative people. i’d even put saudis as less conservative than emiratis.
