The marble was sourced in Italy and India, carpets used wool from Iran and New Zealand, the chandeliers were designed in Germany with Swarovski crystals from Austria and using a lighting system from the UK - just to name a few countries who contributed to this fabulous building. 

As in all Muslim countries, the work week in the UAE runs from Sundays to Thursdays and most offices are closed on Fridays.

In 2025, the Muslims will celebrate the holy month of Ramadan from 28 February until 30/31 March.

Testimonials

Can you write essays for free?

Sometimes our managers receive ambiguous questions from the site. At first, we did not know how to correctly respond to such requests, but we are progressing every day, so we have improved our support service. Our consultants will competently answer strange suggestions and recommend a different way to solve the problem.

The question of whether we can write a text for the user for free no longer surprises anyone from the team. For those who still do not know the answer, read the description of the online platform in more detail.

We love our job very much and are ready to write essays even for free. We want to help people and make their lives better, but if the team does not receive money, then their life will become very bad. Each work must be paid and specialists from the team also want to receive remuneration for their work. For our clients, we have created the most affordable prices so that a student can afford this service. But we cannot be left completely without a salary, because every author has needs for food, housing and recreation.

We hope that you will understand us and agree to such working conditions, and if not, then there are other agencies on the Internet that you can ask for such an option.
