North American food in Abu Dhabi? by cwilde
Hi, I've been hearing that there are stores around the city that cater to specific areas of the world; is this true? I'm interested in picking up a few things specific to Canada that I'm guessing I won't be able to find while in UAE (ex. Kraft ...

Hi Alex, yes people are helpful here indeed :) It really makes the planning of your trip much easier! I wish I had found out about this community before I arrived in the UAE ;) About your dog and the training thing, I realize that I wrote my ... Read More

Well Alex, not to discourage you or anything but when I looked up the hotel this morning, some of the websites that propose it (for example agoda) say that they don't allow pets. I understand that it's hard to separate from your dog but it won't be ... Read More

Alex, it is really unlikely that the Royal Suite Hotel apartments will allow your dog. They don't seem to have a website so the only solution to make sure that they do is to go there and ask... I really don't know any hotel that accepts pets in Abu ... Read More

Hi Alex, Thank you for the compliments :) I really don't know much about Airport customs besides what I already mentioned : they check your pet's paperwork and then release your pet. I didn't write it, but they obviously also check your pet's kennel ... Read More

Hello all, I have been living in Abu Dhabi for over a year now and I am finding it very hard to make Friends. It seems like people are not interested in getting too close to others here. I have not met any Americans here or anyone that shares the ...
Honestly, it is NOT HARD to make friends in Abu Dhabi, as long as you're ready to get out of your place and have a few activities. Okay, you might not be able to meet people in the street like in some other countries (Egypt, India, ...), but ... Read More

They are issuing a law about needing to have a lease contract(attested by municipality) to be able to get the visa. However I'm not sure this law is enforced yet. I arrived a month ago and the lease contract is apparently not required. Read More

Hello ch猫re compatriote ;) I too find Abu Dhabi extremely safe for women. It's a pretty cool feeling to walk in the street and feel okay. I would also suggest that you find a flat to share with another woman for the beginning, but it's mostly so you ... Read More

Hi all, So my wife and I are in our last month before we move from Toronto, Canada to Abu Dhabi, UAE. We're pretty excited, but nervous and anxious as we're leaving our lives behind, and don't really know what to expect once we land! As I've ...
I find most of the things I need in the U.A.E., except pet supplies. So if you have a cat or dog or bird or whatever :D, or plan to adopt one (the U.A.E. have a bunch of abandoned animals that are waiting for a new family), plan accordingly and try ... Read More
