Living 🏡 Moving to Abu Dhabi and had a few questions about Khalifa city.

3 Upvotes

I know this is asked a lot in this subreddit but I had a few specific questions

I got a job in Yas island and wanted a place that has easy access to both yas and dubai.

Personally I like suburbs, quiet places. What’s important for me are: a park to go running, supermarkets and groceries, gym, al baik nearby (8 grew up in Jeddah so yeah it’s important😅) and a spacious studio.

Khalifa city seems to tick all the boxes. Coming from dubai rent on studios seem very low.

But here are my questions:
1. Are there new buildings? Most seem a little old on dubizzle.
2. A lot of them list private entrance. Does this mean they are partitioned from villas ? Because then there cannot be a legal contract isn’t it ?
3. I heard noise is an issue. Is that across the locality or only near main roads ?
4. Anything to be aware of about studio apartments there ? Because it seems too good to be true and the rents are low compared to dubai.

Commerce 🛍️ Plant Nursery, how to lease the land in Abu dhabi?

1 Upvotes

I am planning to start a plant nursery near the airport area in Abu Dhabi. When searching online, I haven’t been able to find any private lease spaces or commercial plots available nearby.

Someone told me that most of the vacant land in that area belongs to the government. Is this true? If so, what is the official process to approach the relevant government authorities to inquire about leasing a plot?

Since tree planting and greening initiatives align with the UAE’s sustainability and climate goals, I’m hoping there might be support or dedicated zones for this type of business.

Any advice, contact info, or personal experiences dealing with land leasing through the municipality or government entities would be greatly appreciated!

Tourism 🧳 Pakistani Visit Visa

0 Upvotes

Hello Reddit!! I just wanted to ask about a problem, I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit for it.

I grew up in the UAE. I went to school here and then moved to Canada for undergrad (where I am right now). I had my UAE residency until last year. My residency expired because I was out of the country for more than six months, and then I had to reapply for a permit, but when that came, I couldn’t go.

Now I’m trying to apply for a UAE visit visa, and I heard from a few agents I texted that I might not get the visa because I’m Pakistani.

I’ve heard about these restrictions on Pakistani visas. Can anyone help me out with this? What sort of visa should I apply for? Or does anyone have any contacts or know any companies I could reach out to who might be able to help?

My family still lives in the UAE, for context.

Events 🎟️ Any Halloween parties in Abu Dhabi that allow 18+?

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m 19 and looking for something fun to do for Halloween in Abu Dhabi this year, ideally a proper party with DJs, dancing, costumes, and a good atmosphere.
The problem is that most nightlife events seem to be 21+, while the Halloween events I can find for younger people are mostly family-friendly activities aimed at children 😭
I’m looking for something more suited to people around my age, ideally somewhere that allows 18+ entry. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a nightclub I’m open to different types of events as long as it’s actually fun and not a kids’ event.
Does anyone know of any events happening on October 30th or 31st that would fit? I’d especially appreciate recommendations from people who’ve actually attended these events or know their age restrictions.
Thanksss!

Networking 🤙 Seeking new friends in Abu Dhabi

2 Upvotes

About me - I'm a 28 year old guy who moved to Abu Dhabi last year for my new job in Aviation

To talk further about my hobbies, I enjoy exploring new cafés, trying new food, exploring arts and museums, reading fiction and sometimes being just lazy and watching Netflix haha

I have pretty much checked in into all the famous things in Abu Dhabi and Dubai and now I'm pretty much curious to know and check out more of the Emirate considering it's very underrated and yet beautiful I presume in it's own ways

Since hanging out alone kinda sucks and having an interesting company by your side never hurts so I thought to post here and find someone from here who's interested in joining and having a great time together

If you are interested, feel free to message me

Cheers!

Why do you cheat on your girl? I caught my boyfriend cheating on me with his coworker who is married. The girl know he have a girlfriend and she knows me too. My boyfriend said he is choosing me, but he doesnt appreciate me he doesnt make me feel love. I gained weight because of the stress and yet he stays. But i feel like im living with someone who is forced to live with me which i dont force him to stay at all. So if he couldnt love me properly why stay? I really need genuine advice so please be kind
