We’ve been researching and writing the Dubai Survival Guide since 2015 but recently, we wanted a simplistic and endearing website. 

Bringing more focussed content which we know is relevant to you and with Expo 2020 high on the agenda. Plan your holiday at the right time during Expo 2020 to coincide with your dreams. There’s so much to do and see. Our weekly newsletters will give you first-hand information regarding this amazing city as well as the surrounding countries. You might want to take a short flight to Oman, Bahrain or even Jordan. The Middle East has so much to offer. 

Finding Things

No news is good news from our point of view. We will show you where to go for news updates, keeping our pages free for the ‘real stuff’!

Lost in the transport system? It’s so easy really…once you get the hang of it. We’ll show you how and update you regularly with the changes.

Holiday accommodation – there are ins and outs to be known before parting with any money. We’ll guide you and if you can’t find the answers, just send us a message. We’ll do the rest.

Maybe you’re coming to work here – we can provide the nitty-gritty on longer-term tenancy contracts – to ensure you don’t have problems later.

If you’re considering working here you will need an employment visa, but how? We will write about this to keep you right.

Banks! We’ve got them covered.

Insurance! That too!

Schools, universities and education? Yip, that’s on our list!

Need something translated? Just ask.

So, as you can see these are just teensie weensie bits of what you may want to know about Dubai. There’s so much more and we’re here to help. Read more >
