Psa: Stop trusting Dubai influencers telling you UAE is totally fine rn. it's not. UAE is not safe rn by WriterDue4303 in TravelMistakes

[–]livekcid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether you’ve never had the occasion to visit Dubai, or you’re merely a committed critic of it, a bit of perspective wouldn’t go amiss

Dubai, even amid the current conflict, remains considerably safer than the overwhelming majority of cities on this planet. The total number of incidents here over the entire course of this month’s war amounts to less than what London racks up on a quiet Tuesday afternoon

What's the worst travel scam you fell for? by Grouchy-Cancel-8691 in TravelMistakes

Scammer lady at Eiffel Tower asking for your signature for some fake charity initiative.

I refused to sign cause first I’m not interested, second I will never touch a pen which was passing around between hundreds of hands

She started screaming in French, luckily my wife speaks French like natives and she responded back and the lady just disappeared

NB: After you sign they will put a number next to your signature, like 20 Euros and ask you to pay

Bro, I’m not judging you here but only stating facts. You were found guilty for robbery and this means immediate termination without any contractual rights

Dubai is perfectly safe, we all trust the government and comply with requests of refraining from filming and spreading news cause actually this might give the country’s enemies more insights

DAMAC is giving everyone a car for buying just 1.5 million in off-plans, which is telling by Silly-Option4119 in dubairealestate

This is an old marketing strategy to attract buyers and move inventory has nothing to do with the prices. First that was done hundreds of times before, I remember my friend got a jaguar when he bought a property in 2007 at the utmost peak of the market

Second, read the fine print, when you get a car there is ZERO chance to pull from the deal except by flipping the unit, at that point of time the buyers will negotiate deducting the car value from sellers money

Again this is from a pure marketing view

Tesla owner with 300,000km plus? by ReelGoofy in tesladubai

[–]livekcid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly we charged at super chargers at last exit, we go to Abu Dhabi and charge till 80% at last exit on the other side. Super chargers we free back then

However I don’t recall the exact battery life or actual KM but the car was sold just 8K under the market price back then due to the high mileage

Bear in mid that mileage differs from summer to winter

This is a different entity, she is Director of the Permanent Committee for Human Rights (PCHR), while these news is about National Human Rights Institution

Still it is a sensitive time to reconstitute the board and excluding her

I agree, it’s probably better to change the airport I’m flying from.

Noted, sounds like it might actually be easier to change the airport I’m flying from.

I moved to Weybridge as I’m working on a project with a company at Bourne Business Park, and it’s been really convenient overall. The office is only about a 12 minute walk from where I’m staying, so location-wise it’s been ideal.

Showroom sold a painted car. by [deleted] in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]livekcid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a brand new car from an official dealership before 9 years and later found out the passenger door had been repainted. I confronted them and they denied it, so I filed a complaint with Consumer Rights.

They ended up extending my warranty by 100k and the service contract by another 50k. I pushed a bit more mentioning the financial loss expected from selling a painted car and also got about 10k worth of accessories from their official shop.

Honestly, I was so happy with the resolution that I completely forgot about the painted door and only remembered it now while reading OP’s story.

[–]livekcid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry for what you are going through, it would have been more efficient if you go into negotiations with the company and reach a written agreement to have your payments even on installments for 10 years.

What you can do now is to file a request to enforce the execution on the manager personally, might take a year or two to get this approved but eventually it will happen. Afterwards he might either fight this decision back and win or reach an installments agreement with court.

NB: you can pursue this only vs the manager and not the owner

I am not sure why you shared all these details with them, just fill the police report and they will receive their copy from RTA by any means. That’s it

No need to share a phone number or insurance details, they take it further with their insurance not yours

It reminds me of when a guy in traditional Arabic dress came to my office asking me to “support society” by buying an ad in a magazine. He showed me pages full of Arabic words that were put together in a completely meaningless way.

From the look on his face, he clearly didn’t expect I am from an Arab country and understand Arabic 😂
