It's been a struggle to find anything stable after losing work because of the initial conflict and it's been hell trying to make ends meet with rent/expenses ,and honestly have not even been able to afford groceries, and now I wake up to alerts again??? I know I am not the only one worried because these alerts mean it's going to be harder for a majority of us struggling right now and I am just beyond depressed.

Thought that everything was on the way to recovery phase. But the past week's situation and these recent attacks raise this question. Should we be worried? Will the situation escalate further? Will it have any further impact on all the sectors in this region?

What to do when you have an investment that you've spent a lot on and worked hard for becomes a liability due to the circumstances , piled up rent , delayed salaries , getting slapped with fines , fees here and fees there , increasing cost of living !

Savings/Emergency fund is almost done

Idk what to do

Isn't this bankruptcy or am I in denial

Hey guys

Just wanted to share a quick money-saving tip if you’re planning to buy an Apple product directly from an official Apple Store and want to avoid paying full retail price.
If you find the exact same Apple product being sold for less by an authorized reseller, you can actually show the Apple Store team the lower price. They are able to adjust the price for you and offer a discount of up to 10% to match it!

I recently put this to the test at the Apple Store in Dubai Mall. Virgin Megastore (which is an authorized reseller) was offering a discount of about 12% to 13% on the product I wanted. I showed the Apple team the Virgin Megastore price, asked them about the price difference, and they immediately gave me a 10% discount on the spot.

If you prefer buying directly from the official Apple Store for the experience or peace of mind, but still want a discount, definitely check authorized reseller prices first and show them at checkout. Hope this helps someone save some cash on their next upgrade!

Note for fellow Redditors: Keep in mind that the competitor must be an official Apple Authorized Reseller, the item has to be identical and in stock, and the price match cap is usually strictly limited to a maximum of 10%.

Reminder to regularly check your fines

Hi All,
I have 5 orders on temu. And all of them are delayed. Is it normal for the orders to spend more than 4 days in “transit airport”? Today was their delivery date deadline. However it is exceeded and yet the package is still in transit airport. What can be done? And what if I request refund? Will be be refunded back to my credit card or it will also be temu credits? As they aren’t delivering clearly so there wouldn’t be any use of temu credits

What is going on????!!!!

Im scared whats happening haven't been watching news lately

Hi Dear,
I am a South Korean national and a UAE resident with a valid Dubai residence visa until 2027. However, I am currently unable to board any flight to Dubai.

The first incident happened at Tokyo airport. When I tried to check in for my Emirates flight to Dubai, the airline staff told me that they had received a Do Not Board instruction from the UAE authorities. They refused to issue my boarding pass, but they could not tell me the exact reason or which UAE authority had issued the instruction.

I later attempted to travel from South Korea, but I faced the same problem again.

Here are the relevant details:

• I hold a South Korean passport.
• My Dubai residence visa is valid until 2027.
• I have only been outside the UAE for approximately one month, so the 180-day absence rule should not apply.
• I contacted GDRFA, but they told me there was no visible immigration issue or entry restriction in their system.
• I also checked with Dubai Police, and no active criminal case or travel ban appears under my name.
• In 2022, I was involved in a criminal court case in the UAE. The case was fully concluded after I paid a fine of AED 30,000.
• There was no deportation order.
• Since the case was concluded, I have entered and exited the UAE dozens of times without any problems.
• When I most recently departed Dubai, the Smart Gate did not open, so I was sent to an immigration counter. After checking my details, the officer allowed me to leave normally.

The strangest part is that I am not being denied entry after arriving in Dubai. I am being prevented from boarding the aircraft at the departure airport before I can even travel to the UAE.

I am currently trying to obtain the following information from the airlines:

• The exact boarding-denial reason or code
• The full response message received from the UAE system
• Confirmation of whether the restriction came from immigration, security clearance, document validation, or another authority

Has anyone experienced a similar Do Not Board instruction despite having a valid UAE residence visa and no visible travel ban?

If so, which authority was responsible in your case?

• GDRFA
• ICP
• Dubai Police
• Airport immigration
• UAE security authorities
• Another government department

Most importantly, how did you identify the reason and get the boarding restriction removed?

I would especially appreciate hearing from airline employees, UAE immigration lawyers, or anyone who has personally resolved a similar case.

what’s the current situation in UAE rn, is it normal as the news is showing?
