Completed All the Seven Emirates of United Arab Emirates (2012-2022)

Filipino Expat adventure on quest to visit all Seven Emirates of the UAE 2012-2022


United Arab Emirates, often referred to as the U.A.E, is a federation of seven emirates on the eastern side of the Arabian peninsula, at the entrance to the Persian Gulf. It has coastlines on the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf, with Saudi Arabia to the west and southwest, and Oman to the southeast and also on the eastern tip of the Musandam Peninsula as well as an Omani enclave within its borders. It is a country rich in history and culture and an easy starting point for travels in the Middle East.

Sightseeing the Awesome Picturesque Spots of Sharjah

New Beginning of my Professional Worth as a Returning Ex-UAE Resident, August 2022


Who would have thought I will be back in United Arab Emirates !!! After spending Seven Months in Latin America from Nov. 2020 to Jun. 2021 and completing the 81 Provinces of the Philippines from Nov. 2021 to Jul. 2022. I never expected that I will be entering the Lulu Supermarket again, eating my favorite Shawarma, Biryani and random walks in Corniche almost every night. Working as Planning Engineer in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates served as my Episode 5 on my OFW journey following the Episode 4: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates as Planning Engineer (2016-2020)

I availed the monthly subscription of unlimited bus ride as part of my tight savings practice here as my salary was way less than 50% when I was in Abu Dhabi. Those trips and photographs are random only, mostly on weekend. Since I live in Rolla area, Al Jubail and Rolla bus station is just around walking distance only which is relaxing and highly economical. Even the Clock Tower, Central Souq, Rulers Court, Flag Island and Corniche side, these are all walking stroll which are my target places every time and I wanted to a have a random walk anywhere. The not so far places, like City Center Sharjah and Sahara Center are on bus # 3, 8 and 9 using my unlimited bus ride for some Jollibee snacks craving.
