In Dubai there's always someone to contact.
TIC is the free app with the professionals and businesses of Dubai, made for the Italian community. Search them by category and contact them directly, with no middlemen.
Find who you need in three steps.
Search
Pick a category or type what you need: a lawyer, a beautician, a restaurant.
Choose
Open the profile, read what they do and the reviews from people who already chose them. See whether there's a TIC Offer reserved for the community.
Contact
Message or call them directly, on WhatsApp, by email or by phone. There's no one between you and the professional.
TIC users get exclusive offers.
In the app you'll find the offers partners keep for the TIC community. You see them on their profile, and they apply when you contact them through the app.
