Hello @Ahmed-Zaki0, this is great to hear! What are your most memorable experiences as an Airbnb host in Dubai? 😊 

[Ahmed-Zaki0]

Hello Quincy,

Thank you for reaching out! Currently, I’m hosting three properties in Sharjah, which is just a short drive from Dubai. Right now, I have two different guests staying in separate apartments, and it’s always interesting to see how each group makes the space their own. One of my most memorable experiences as a host has been offering personalized services, like airport pick-ups and small surprises for guests celebrating special occasions during their stay. I enjoy creating unique experiences for each visitor, whether they’re here for business, a holiday, or family time.

Being a host in this region is truly rewarding, especially when guests discover how vibrant the culture is in the UAE, beyond just the popular attractions of Dubai.

Looking forward to sharing more with the community!

Hi Ahmed,

Great to know that you were able to host three properties in Sharjah.

If I may ask - how to apply the permits at the UAE government authorities.

Ive been wanting to do the hosting in Dubai but there are properties that do not allow such.

Thanks for your reply-hoping we can connect.

Regards, Marilou

Hi @Monette12! 

I just had a look at all the destinations you've shared, and they look amazing! These are great recommendations! 

How does a personal tour look like if a guest books one with you? (if I may ask)

Also, quick tip: To tag someone, tap "@" and select the host's or Community Manager's username from the dropdown menu  (this way I will get a notification when you reply) 😊
