About Us

GulfNabd exists because moving to the Gulf is one of the biggest decisions of your life — and finding straight answers about it should not be this hard.

We built GulfNabd for every expat who has ever spent hours searching for a simple answer about their labour rights, visa rules, or cost of living, only to find outdated information, legal jargon written for lawyers, or advice that does not apply to their country or situation. That ends here.

What GulfNabd Covers

Every topic that matters to expat life across Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman — labour law and your rights as a worker, jobs and salary guides, visa and residency explained step by step, housing and honest cost of living breakdowns, money and banking, and the cultural knowledge that takes most expats years to pick up on their own.

All of it in plain English. All of it verified. All of it updated the moment something changes.

How We Work

Every article on GulfNabd is researched against official government sources — the Qatar Ministry of Labour at mol.gov.qa, the UAE Ministry of Human Resources at mohre.gov.ae, and the relevant authorities across Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

When a law changes — and in the GCC, laws change regularly — we update our content within 48 hours. We also publish a short video on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube explaining what changed and what it means for you, in plain English, in under 60 seconds.

Who Is Behind GulfNabd

GulfNabd was built by Mohamed, a Sri Lankan expat who has lived and worked in Qatar for several years. He knows firsthand what it feels like to arrive in the Gulf with questions that nobody answers clearly — and built GulfNabd so the next generation of Gulf expats does not have to figure it all out alone.

A Note on Legal Advice

Nothing on GulfNabd constitutes legal advice. We are a plain English guide — not a law firm. For decisions that affect your employment, residency, or finances, always verify with the relevant official authority or consult a qualified professional.
