Founder & Lead Writer

5+ years in SEO and content research. Writes about UAE travel, transport and real estate.
Nouman Ahmad is the founder and lead writer of Live In Gulf (liveingulf.com). He has 5+ years of experience in SEO and digital content research, and uses it to find what UAE residents, newcomers and visitors are searching for, then answers those questions with clear guides on travel, public transport and property in the UAE, starting with Dubai.
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.
What Nouman writes about
- Dubai transport — Dubai Metro, buses, tram, Nol cards and fares
- Etihad Rail — stations, routes, tickets and travel classes
- Visas and residency — property visas, Golden Visa and visitor visa basics
- Real estate — renting and buying property in Dubai, fees, contracts and area guides
- Travel tips — attractions, day trips and practical advice for visitors
How he researches
Every article is checked against official and trusted sources, including UAE government portals, the Dubai Land Department (DLD), RERA, RTA, ICP and GDRFA. Because rules, fees and prices in the UAE change often, Nouman reviews key guides regularly and shows a “Last updated” date on each post. Read more in our Editorial Policy.
