How it works

From "where do we even start?" to feeling at home

Delbazi connects you with verified Dubai locals who've already made the move or built their lives there. Here's exactly what happens, from your first click to your first session.

Step 01

Tell us about you

A short, friendly onboarding — no forms that feel like paperwork.

You answer a handful of questions about your move: your lifestyle, budget, family situation, where you'll work, and the languages you're most comfortable in. The more we understand about your life, the better we can match you.

  • Your goals and what you need help with
  • Family situation, budget, and lifestyle
  • Work location and preferred languages

Step 02

Get matched with the right locals

Recommendations built around your answers — not a random directory.

We compare your profile against every verified Local: the topics they cover, the areas they know, the families and professionals they've helped before. Each recommendation comes with a plain-language explanation of why this Local fits you.

  • Every Local is vetted and approved by our team
  • Matched on topics, areas, budget, and language
  • "Why this match" reasons with every recommendation

Step 03

Book a session that fits your life

Real availability, straightforward packages, secure payment.

Pick a package, see your Local's actual calendar in Dubai time, and choose a slot that works for you. Payment is handled securely through Stripe — your booking is only confirmed once everything has gone through.

  • Live calendar with real, bookable time slots
  • Clear session packages with upfront pricing
  • Secure checkout — payments protected end-to-end

Step 04

Move with confidence

Practical, first-hand answers — before and after you land.

Meet your Local one-on-one and get specific, actionable guidance: which neighborhood suits your family, what rent really costs, how schools compare, what daily life actually looks like. Keep the conversation going through in-app messaging whenever questions come up.

  • One-on-one sessions tailored to your situation
  • Message your Local directly in the app
  • Honest local insight you won't find in guides

Not sure yet?

Start with a quick intro call

Choosing a Local is personal. That's why you can meet a few of them first — for less than the price of a coffee.

Short intro calls

Quick 10-minute video calls — just enough to see if you click.

Meet up to three Locals

One small fee lets you meet several different Locals before deciding.

Commit when it feels right

Only book a full session once you've found the Local who truly gets you.
