They're everywhere Fah. I'm at the Sofitel JBR and I just walked past a dozen or so Eastern European working girls lounging around or standing outside the lobby. Police are right outside but they turn a blind eye.

I know, I was trolling. Because Tanker is a troll. :lol:

Don't forgot all the Instagram THOTS that are paid money roaming the streets and hotels.

I respect prostitutes because they serve an essential function in society. They keep perverts, unmarried men, married men who are not satisfied by their spouses, and all sorts of characters busy. Without them, the cases of rape would skyrocket.

Back to the OP, the UAE is a chill place. I met my fair share of Lords of Poverty, Tycoons of the war economy, and failed politicians there. If I lived in the UAE, I would stay away from the Somali community. There is comfort in being that Anonymous Farax and having NO house guests.


Hyperow,

Doha is a terrible place for nonfamily men and women. There is nothing to do there. When I was there last, all I did was hang out at the W with my friends from QGas, QAirways, and relaxed. I'd hate to be a single man in that city.

The UAE is so boring nothing to do the shopping malls gets boring after few days, there is no countryside or quite place. Even the surburbs you can still see the skylines. Just high rising building inside a burning desert. Expat life even as a westerne not what it used to be. The salary and costs do not match anymore. Too many people on too small areas.

Im not sure if you know what being naturalized means. It means granting citizenship to a foreigner and its almost impossible to get now. Plenty of people, of all sorts of nationality, got UAE citizenship in 70s and early 80s through getting bedouin families to include them within their tribe. Seems like you are just disagreeing for the sake of it.

On the Barre story, I'm hardly emotionally invested in arguing whether its true or false. I just related an anecdote that most people who lived in the UAE have heard back then.

Was born and raised in the country so no need to tout your visitor credentials for your expertise. The Somali population in AD has undoubtedly shrunk compared to its old numbers. Even Mussafah rents are unsustainable for average working Somali family and they make up of the area has changed a lot compared to what it used to be. Same with Baniyas. Theres no real stats on this anyway so you cant argue confidently about these numbers in any specific direction.
Seems you don't know what you are talking about. Are you telling me that all Hadhramis, Southern Iranians and Balochia have been granted UAE citizenship under Bedouins clans names? Why they still carry their real last name though?

Your earlier comment show your ignorance about the naturalization process in UAE. More than half of those who has been naturalized hold Abu Dhabi passport. And I bet you to find one single person who carry Bedouin family's name in Abu Dhabi who ain't from them.

I'm not sure if you know who are the native families in Abu Dhabi so here are few families :- Al Suwaidi, Al Mazrooci, Al Rumaithi, Al Qubaisi, Al Hamili ..etc.

I have saw plenty of Somalis who were born and raised in UAE who know nothing about Somalis in UAE either because they don't speak Somali or they barely have relatives/Somali friends there. So you might be one.

I can give you three Somali families' names who have been naturalized in the past decade and you can search for them to make sure whether a visitor like me know what is going on in UAE or not.

For you information, I have been offered both UAE & Saudi passport and it wasn't in 70s or early 80s.

You must have not been there enough to meet locals. I too felt the same my first two visits, until i met some cool friends that showed me the tricks and all the fun places to go.

The way to beat high rent in Dubai is just to move to Al-Sharjah , which is about 10 miles from the Dubai and then come to Dubai for Business/Work. The apartments in Sharjah is dirt cheap compared to Dubai. I am in the process of relocating from the States and will update you once I permanently move here

Dude It's not that expensive I swear. For example, you can eat at yemeni or somali restaurants for about 35 AED which around $10 and it's the same in Nairobi ( 9K KES ) . Like i said the houses in Dubai are expensive, but in Sharqah it's around 700 for two bedrooms which is just like how it's in Westlands in Nairobi.

Lol 20K AED is like 5500$ a month right? Al-hamdullahi i make more than that

Loll yeah I know. I was in the UAE a few weeks ago. Eating out was like here in the States... after a month in India it felt like it was a fortune.

700 AED for two bedroom place? :leon:
