Mum, expat, and your biggest cheerleader on this Dubai journey. I've been exactly where you are and I'm here to help.

A few years ago, our family made the leap from the UK to Dubai. I remember lying awake at 3am, Googling "best areas for families in Dubai" for the hundredth time, feeling completely lost. Where should we live? Would the kids settle? Could we actually afford this?
I joined every Facebook group, watched countless YouTube videos, and talked to anyone who'd share their experience. Some advice was gold. Most was outdated, contradictory, or just didn't apply to our situation. I felt so alone in figuring it all out.
That's why I created this space.
Everything here is what I wish someone had handed me back then – the practical stuff, the honest truths, and the "I wish I'd known" moments. No fluff, no selling, just one mum sharing what actually worked (and what didn't).
Helping families feel confident about this move has become my absolute passion. If I can make your journey even a little less stressful than mine was, it's all worth it.
Because I remember how scary it felt. The uncertainty, the second-guessing, the feeling that everyone else had it figured out except us. I want every family considering Dubai to feel supported, informed, and genuinely excited about what's ahead. You deserve to make this decision with clarity – not confusion.
I share the real story – the good, the challenging, and everything in between. No sugar-coating, just genuine advice.
Every family is unique. I take the time to understand your specific needs, priorities, and concerns to give tailored guidance.
I've been through this journey myself. I've made the mistakes so you don't have to, and I share what actually works.
Want personalised support for your move? My relocation package includes everything I wish I'd had – personal consultations, tailored community walkthroughs, and 30 days of ongoing support.
“Families typically spend £3,000-5,000 on fact-finding trips. Save time and money.”
Personalised video walkthroughs, expert consultations, and 30 days of direct support from someone who's been exactly where you are.
Follow our family's YouTube channel for weekly videos about life in Dubai. I share neighbourhood tours, day-in-the-life vlogs, tips for settling in, and honest conversations about expat life.

I know how lonely those first few months can be. You've left your friends, your routines, everything familiar. Dubai's exciting, but it can also feel isolating.
That's why I started Sadeeqa - small, easy gatherings where you can just be yourself. No pressure. Just genuine connection.
Have questions, suggestions, or just want to say hello? I'd love to hear from you.
