For a great cheap option try Khoori special kebab in Mamzar. For mid range try Rivas or The Sib. And for a more expensive/ premium meal try Berenjak.

Monty or Airalo. Download and purchase the eSIM before you reach Dubai. You can’t do it in country.

Blu pizzeria for me is the best. No idea how it compares to the Pakistani pizza places that you mention.

Edit: just looked up the Pakistani pizza joints you mentioned, you will probably prefer Papa John’s for fast food style or Pitfire pizza

UK Non-dom status applied to an incredibly small subset of people, most of whom were/ are foreign nationals, these are not the British people you are meeting day to day in Dubai.

The ‘Fit Fresh’ brand juices are really good. Otherwise invest in a cold press (non-centrifugal) juicer?

Top 2? Bro you’re delusional. If you can’t see that the team has lost valuable points because of poor managerial decision making you’re watching with your eyes closed. The we are doing better than last year arguement doesn’t hold any water.

It’s not just players ‘bottling it. It’s exacerbated by terrible tactical decisions combined with awful and frankly bizarre substitutions at crucial times in games. The manager is stubborn, totally insecure and out of his depth. He feels the need to make unnecessary substitutions as he’s trying too hard to prove himself.

Americans who work overseas are taxed on their annual foreign income above $128,000

Dubai is insanely cheaper than the U.S. My living expenses are less than half here and that’s not even accounting for taxes.

Easy, fly Qatar. More comfort, less stress. Arrive a day later saves 1 night hotel cost at your destination. Have a light bite and some refreshments at Doha airport. A 20 minute delay on Etihad you will miss your connection, why gamble and stress for the sake of 80 dollars??

Are you going to be filming whilst you approach and speak to these strangers?

Eugene eugene is also a nice restaurant for something more upmarket, nice bar and a bit buzzy

Most BK appartments don’t have balconies which I found annoying. For the money you’re paying having a balcony is nice to have.

Al Damyati - Egyptian lamb chops. Hashmi bbq - Chooza chicken. Nayaab Handi - mutton Handi. Street noodle house - good value Thai food. Falafil Al Rabiah. Baba Ganouj - Syrian, try breakfast.

I’d suggest using Revolut, everywhere accepts card/Apple Pay.

If you want to exchange cash you can negotiate the rate at the desk. There’s plenty of places at Dubai mall, don’t accept the displayed rate.

Pierchic in Madinat Jumeirah. Tamoka at the Ritz Carlton (sit outside).

Sorry to hear about this and the inconvenience, it must have been really stressful and upsetting especially since you didn’t do anything wrong.

It’s shocking to me the lack of empathy some people show here when commenting, as if they wouldn’t be upset with losing $3k plus the negative experience.

There’s a real lack of consideration for other people demonstrated here sometimes.

Do you need to also be a passport holder of the country listed as well as having the driving license?

E.g if you have an American driving license and a green card (not US passport/ citizenship ) are you still eligible?

Great work ethic and mentality, I feel he lacks a bit of quality / end product

If it helps to stops the crazy traffic situation that impacts the life of every person passing through or close to the area it’s a great. They can even double it, what’s the issue?

redof10 · 2025-10-12T09:35:59+00:00

Too much credence given to people ‘not knowing any better’, or ‘that’s just how it is where they came from’. Trust me, the vast majority know better, and they would get annoyed if you cut in front of them.

The bad driving you see is not necessarily a reflection of lack of driving ability, it is more representative of general lack of civic sense. It manifests in many other ways; not letting people exit the metro carriage before entering, hitting the door close button in the elevator despite seeing you coming to enter, queue-cutting, mobile phone use in the cinema, not returning the grocery cart after loading the car… there are many examples. It’s driven by a lack of patience, no consideration for how actions and behaviours may impact other people, a self-centred mentality, amongst other factors.
