Affiliate Disclosure

This website is 100% free for you to use. To fund our work, we use affiliate links. Our recommendations are always based on independent research, never on commissions.

The Details

What is an Affiliate Link?

When you click a link on our site for a recommended product or service (like a hotel on Booking.com or a tour on GetYourGuide), that link contains a special tracking code.

If you follow that link and complete a purchase, that company (e.g., Booking.com) knows that you came from our site and sends us a small percentage of the sale as a 'thank you' for the referral.

Again, this costs you absolutely nothing. The price is the same for you whether you use our link or not. Using our link is simply a way to support the free, in-depth research we provide.

Our Policy

Our "Research-First" Editorial Policy

Our mission is to be the most helpful and trustworthy guide to the UAE. Your trust is our single most important asset, and we will not compromise it for any amount of money. Therefore, our affiliate policy is "research-first, affiliate-second."

Our research process comes first. We find the best hotels, tours, and products based on data analysis and hundreds of real user reviews.

Only after we decide on a recommendation do we check if an affiliate program is available. If it is, we use the link. If it is not, we recommend it anyway.

We will never recommend a low-quality hotel or a poorly-rated tour just because it pays a higher commission. Our reputation is not for sale.
