The Definitive Dubai E-Scooter Permit Guide: Rules, Application & Safe Riding

I’d check the route before buying the scooter. A free permit is useful; it is not permission to ride on every pavement, road or cycling track in Dubai. Riders must be at least 16, and some driving-licence holders are exempt from applying. Here’s how I’d work through the permit, route and Metro checks without confusing…

UAE Child Digital Safety Law: Age Limits and a Parent’s Checklist

The age limit is the first thing I’d check—not the reassuring safety badge on an app. The UAE’s Child Digital Safety Law is Federal Decree-Law No. 26 of 2025. A later measure, Cabinet Resolution No. 106 of 2026, sets a minimum age of 15 for personal accounts on covered social-media platforms. That is different from…

Dubai Police Travel-Ban Enquiries: Online Steps and Limits

My rule for a Dubai travel-ban enquiry: start with the official record, then follow the instructions for that particular case. Dubai Police’s Circulars and Travel Bans service is a useful starting point for covered records. It is not a promise that every UAE restriction can be removed online, or that any payment makes someone free…

Unpaid Wages in UAE: Employee Rights & Recovery

If your salary is unpaid, document the shortfall and contact MOHRE promptly. Do not wait for an automatic system to recover it. For workers covered by the federal private-sector framework, the starting point is a month-by-month payment record, the correct complaint route and the deadlines attached to the case. My priority is to make those…

UAE Sick Leave Law 2026: Pay, Days & Medical Certificates

Private-sector employees covered by the UAE’s federal Labour Law can take up to 90 days of sick leave per year after probation: the first 15 days at full pay, the next 30 at half pay and the remaining 45 without pay. The leave can be continuous or split across separate illnesses. The employee must notify…

Dubai Drivers: Avoid Rain-Related Traffic Fines

Do not turn a rain journey into a test of nerve. Slow down, leave more room and keep the phone out of your hands. I would postpone a non-essential trip before trust a familiar road covered by water. Getting through once is not evidence that the next driver—or the next minute—will be safe. For Dubai…

UAE Traffic Fine Instalments: Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Payment Options

Yes, there are ways to pay UAE traffic fines in instalments. No, they are not one nationwide, fee-free plan. Start with the authority that issued your fine, then compare the payment routes actually offered for it. RTA’s Tabby option, Dubai Police’s instalment service and a bank’s credit-card conversion are different arrangements. I would choose by…

UAE Car Insurance: Compare Renewal Costs Without Cutting Cover

I would challenge an expensive car-insurance renewal, but I would not buy a worse policy just to make the number smaller. That is the distinction that matters. A lower premium with a much higher excess, reduced repair cover or missing benefits is a different offer—not automatically a saving. This guide focuses on UAE motor insurance,…
