My freelance permit with Expo City free zone is up for renewal and my free zone isn’t offering any discounts or offers or installments. It’s still 9k for a permit + visa for 1 year.

I really like Expo City because they’re very efficient and quick and easy to deal with but due to the circumstances I’m exploring other options.

Do you guys know any better deals maybe? Not looking for a business consultancy, I’d like to work directly with the free zone authority.

Hello everyone!

I’m looking for a clinic or a doctor (or both) that can help treat persistent dandruff and run some tests as well as help treat hair loss.

Any solid recommendations or leads or experiences with doctors here?

There are tons of options on google with glowing reviews but I’m slightly dubious about their legitimacy.

Hi there!

I have a Sole Professional license from Expo City which I got quite recently (April 2025). This is so called freelance license and the name of the company is essentially my name.

I’ve started running my business and I collect payments via payment processors like Nomod and MamoPay plus I have a business account with Wio bank which is again under my “company” name which is my personal name.

Now I have a corporate client who wants to purchase my services and they’re asking for an invoice. I’ve not registered for VAT yet since I’ve not crossed my taxable turnover (very sad).

How do I issue an invoice for this corporate client? Do I still need to mention that I collected 5% VAT or

Did anyone else get a strange email from ENBD asking about transactions which happened back in 2019?

I know that they’re doing a massive KYC update again.

They rejected all my previous submissions saying all documents are wrong size and that I need to send them again. Then they’re asking why I transferred money to my family (350 dirhams lol) in another country. And all cash deposits.

And the cherry on the cake is that they’re asking about all my salary transactions even though they’re all transferred with a salary transaction code.

I don’t really get a lot of money so I’m not sure why they’re so picky.

I was very suspicious at first considering the poor grammar of the email but they

It’s been a long time since we spoke about dinner.

I’m a huge fan of MyClub points (i have no life and i like free stuff) but today i was told by a carrefour cashier that all the points would expire in a week if i didn’t transfer them to this new Share app.

So i went to download it and was horrified by the reviews. I’ve still not installed it for this reason.

What’s your experience with the new app?

MyClub worked pretty bad on my phone, glitched all the time, didn’t credit points, didn’t redeem points and etc. They’ve just recently fixed the search function and now they’re removing the application altogether. What gives?

Does this mean that Carrefour will stop sending occasional coupons too? I’m so perplexed now.

Hi r/Etsy!

I’ve been selling on Etsy for a couple of years. I’ve always kept my shipping information and return policy separately in the designated sections in my shop but now I see more and more sellers putting everything in the product description. All the information about the shop is just there: how they process returns/refunds, how they ship, the size charts and etc.

I’m not sure if I should do the same. It looks like a good idea but will it negatively impact SEO? Or is it a bad idea from the customers’ standpoint?

What’s your opinion on this and do you do the same?

I was out of home all day and decided to have a full keto snack day without proper meals!

I just had a lot of salami, ham and cheese. A protein bar with coffee as a desert. Stayed within 13 g of net carbs and wow, 10/10 would do it again to spoil myself.

Do you guys ever do full keto-junk-snack-days?

So i'm sitting in my goddamn udrive spark somewhere deep in al quoz, it's dark and i'm waiting for my friend to finish at the garage.

This car passes me by, then reverses and asks to open the window. I do so and the driver asks if i speak english (big mistake on my side to say yes). He starts his sob story about how he and his family came from Oman and how their car broke down and how the engine is screwed and what long way they have ahead. At this point I almost started laughing cos i realize where the things are going.

So I ask him what he wants from me. He goes: can you give me some money for gas?

And I say: sorry mate, i don't have any money.

He proceeds to switch on the light in

So what's that? I can see this notification in my app, when i click "see tips for etsy sellers featured in media", there's a ton of comments, all from yesterday, saying their listings were featured too.

I also have a weekly email from yesterday saying that my XYZ item was featured. But I've not received any buyers emails even though i have a buyer's account too.

Is it an error on etsy's side? I find it hard to believe that 100+ products were featured at the same time.

Im sure someone else on here got it too. What do you guys reckon?

Hi r/dubai!

This week I need to go to Al Ain a few times and I've never been there so I'm asking for some insight:

1. I was driving to Al Ain in the evening and the entire road from Dubai to Al Ain was 140 km/h. I was driving 130-135 (according to my speedometer) and I saw 2 radars flashing after I passed. It happened twice and the radars were well before the city. All signs were 140. The radars weren't one after another, but two different radars like 20 km apart. I then checked the GPS speedometer which showed 5 km/h less than whatever my car was showing. So i was actually 125-130 but still got flashed. Did anyone have the same problem?

2. How's the traffic from Al Ain to Dubai early
