Dubai Municipality drive against illegal posters
If you are an employer looking to fill a vacancy, or a real estate agent eager to rent out a shared bed or studio somewhere in Dubai, without paying the cost of a newspaper classified ad, walls are your best bet. A walk around the neighborhoods of Deira, Bur Dubai, Karama and Satwa reveal posters, pamphlets and handwritten notes pasted on building walls, lamp posts and even temporary pavement boards, offering jobs and accommodations.
However, those looking for such free lunches have to be careful now as residents caught sticking advertisement posters on walls in public places will face a Dh200 fine as part of a new campaign by Dubai Municipality to clean up the emirate.
