Heya!
I have to be in Dubai by end of the month to finish the formation of my company and residency etc. I’ve stayed at hotels earlier, but that sounds pretty impractical considering I will be living there nearly for a month.
Anyone got any tips about renting a short-stay apartment for a month? Maybe even a few leads?
What about living in Dubai? I will be working hard, but I don’t want to be bored out of my mind. Places I can hang out, things I can do?
Please share 
Thanks, I found that finding hotel apartments (they have a kitchenette) was cheaper than renting from Dubizzle or from Airbnb. I rented there for some days
Intend to live in different hotel apartments around different places in Dubai. Spend a few days in each.
Thanks for the tip about What’s on. I might visit a couple of attractions.
Mostly, I want to hang out at a nice informal cafe in the evenings, sip coffee, eat a veg sandwich and work.
I’ve been told JBR could be a nice place for that sort of thing.
Other than Airbnb, your best bet for short term renting is dubizzle . com
In terms of things to do - the entertainer app is great for finding great deals on dining and other activities. You do have to pay for it but I do remember there being a free trial period.
whatson . ae /dubai/ also a great resource for finding out what’s happening in Dubai.

Based on Sharjah's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
We have lived in Abu Dhabi for over four years and it is an amazing city! It is completely safe (for couples, solo women, etc.) and there is so much to do. The nightlife is plentiful and alcohol is easily available in licensed places (nearly all hotel bars and restaurants). The locals are friendly, and everyone speaks English. We absolutely love this city.

The old outages are referring to the load shedding issue which were routine power outages for the majority of the day. Now power outages are not routine and can last unknown amounts of time, even the main (and only) airport loses power often. Buildings are unheated, water for showering is generally unheated or lukewarm, many houses get their water from urban aquifers which may be hea

There's lots of cool aspects to the city but I hated it when I was there. The city has a problem with British stag parties, so if you look like you're a British male and speak English expect to be treated with disdain (it's fair enough) The Hungarians can just generally be unfriendly, especially bartenders. It's a weird experience waiting to be served while 3 people ignore you. Or buying the same drink and getting charged whatever they want (700-1500

There's no good cafes to work from, the coworkings here are of extremely mediocre to bad quality here.

It is still great and you can find really cheap apartments (300-400$) and restaurants (2-3$ for a main). Wouldn't recommend staying there during the burning season. The best area is Nimman, but it's also the most expensive. You can stay in the old city that's very nice but that gets noisy during the weekend for the night markets. Last but not least, very safe city. All in all would go back in a heartbeat.
