We'll help you get settled in
in Abu Dhabi
A rare experience, in the heart of a country opening up to the world
Personalized, practical, and local support to help you settle smoothly in the Emirates
We arrived in the Emirates in January 2025. Initially, Abu Dhabi wasn't necessarily our final destination. But then, after a few weeks there, in March 2025, we made an important decision: to settle here permanently.
Since then, we ourselves have gone through all the stages of a real family move:
visas, accommodation, schools, health insurance, medical appointments, administrative landmarks, daily life, neighborhoods to live in, reliable local contacts, procedures related to starting a business, driver's license, job search, but also all the more human aspects: understanding the city, creating a new social circle, finding your habits, your good addresses and your landmarks.
Today, we offer simple support: to save you time, help you avoid common mistakes, guide you clearly, and share everything we have learned, experienced and verified on site.
What the support includes
Support for $150
One-time payment
This rate allows you to get in touch with us regarding your installation project in Abu Dhabi, with support without predefined limits of exchanges and interactions within the framework of your project.
This is not a simple, one-off response.
It is a genuine human support, based on our experience, our local network and our concrete knowledge of the field.
The first contact is made on WhatsApp to define your request, then the support begins after payment for the service.

A real local network, not just a list found on the internet
The true value of this support is not just the information.
It also involves sharing our trusted local contacts with you – that is, people and professionals with whom we have personally exchanged information, worked, or whom we have actually used in our own installation.
We can direct you to reliable contacts for:
-
Immigration and certain administrative procedures
-
the search for accommodation
-
real estate purchase
-
business creation
-
practical life in Abu Dhabi
-
the family installation
Our goal is simple: to save you time, energy, and prevent you from going in the wrong direction.

A network built locally
Because a successful setup also relies on the right connections, we share with you access to our trusted local network in Abu Dhabi. These are serious professional contacts, with whom we have personally exchanged ideas or collaborated, to help you move forward more smoothly with your project.
Support that can also continue after your arrival
Depending on your needs, we can also accompany you on site upon your arrival, to help you get your bearings more easily.
When you arrive in a new country, the first few days count enormously.
Being able to ask questions, quickly understand how things work, know who to turn to and avoid bad choices can make a real difference.
Why are we making this offer?
Because we know how exciting and confusing relocating abroad can be.
You can spend hours searching for conflicting information, encounter the wrong people to talk to, waste time on poorly understood procedures, or simply feel alone facing all the decisions you have to make.
We experienced this transition ourselves.
And today, we want to transform this experience into useful, reassuring and concrete support for those who also wish to settle in Abu Dhabi.
A small note of clarity
Here we share our personal experience, our knowledge of the field and our trusted contacts.
This support does not replace official legal advice, but it allows you to move forward with concrete, reliable and human reference points.
