Thanks Hussain

Hi Hussain
Thanks for contacting me and yes i meet some people who pass by you.

am helping the bikers based on what i can offer them from my motorcycle hobby, so i just try to short cut the process for them.
i wish i can offer them a place to spend but i dont have any.
my first aim is to meet the travelers and make friendships oll over the world.

Happy New Year

thank you Dubai355

Once I'm back from my journey to UAE and Oman I want to thank you, Saleh, for your help.
I enjoyed a lot in your country and in the neighbor Oman: very panoramic, safe and great people.
Any help you or any of the HUBB could need from Spain don't hesitate in asking.

Motovacanze.it visited UAE

Hi

on 9 May 2013 we meet and host 6 Italian and 2 Switzerland adventure riders where they depart from their home in Italy and Switzerland and head the road till they cross over to UAE.
- we enjoyed their company since the first hour as we meet then in Sharjah port when they arrived from Bander Abbas, we helped them throw the paper documentation and within 5-6 hours the 8 bikes are on the road.
during their stay in Dubai they visited the following
- BAB AlShams resort and hotel
- Burj Alarab
- Dubai Museum
- old Souq
- Dubai Mall
- Burj Khalifa
- My house
- Bikers Cafe
- many places which i think i forget

in Abudhabi
- Ferrari World
- Shaikh Zayed Mosque
- Emirates Palace Hotel

overall the feedback was 100% positive about UAE and about us as we stayed and enjoyed chatting with them during their stay.

please check the below link for the video which they did:

Moved to Dubai

Hi Saleh. My wife and I have moved to Dubai, and are trying to work out whether to buy bikes here, or ship our bikes here from South Africa . Can you tell us what the implications are to import our bikes to Dubai?
Looking at BMW here, the prices seem a lot higher than South Africa!
I hope to meet you soon!
Regards Larry

Madrid-Dubai

Hello Dubai 355, all

I'm planning a trip from Madrid to Dubai via Iran on Sep '14 and still gathering information. I'm currently living in Dubai and miss my GS a lot so I decided to bring it and as a excuse, spoil my self with such an awesome adventure.
I will apply for my Visa and cdp soon so hopefully will get to know you once I'm there.
Do you know of any agency in Dubai to help me once I get there to register my bike?
Do I need the cdp to get into the UAE? And if I get my bike registered ther, will Inget my cdp deposit back?

Thank you very much!

I had my GS brought in by Al Futtaim relocation. They also registered it for me.
With crooks like relogulf still on the market, I was happy to have hired a blue chip transporter.
PM me if you like their details
Cheers
(driving my bike every single day to work and so happy to have it here. Beats traffic jam every day)
