Our Approach
How We Create Content
Every guide is researched using official and trusted sources, such as UAE government portals, the Dubai Land Department (DLD), RTA and ICP/GDRFA. Rules, fees and prices in the UAE change often, so we review and update our articles regularly and show the last-updated date on each post.
We are an independent publisher. We are not a real estate broker, travel agency or government body, and we are not affiliated with any government authority. Our content is for general information only. Read our Disclaimer and Editorial Policy to learn more.

The Founder
Who Is Behind Live In Gulf
Live In Gulf is founded and run by Nouman Ahmad, a writer and researcher with 5+ years of experience in SEO and digital content. Nouman started Live In Gulf after seeing how hard it is for newcomers to find clear, up-to-date answers on UAE visas, transport and property in one place.
He spends his time digging through official sources and turning complex rules into simple, practical guides anyone can follow.
