About Nadbook
A curated marketplace, not an open one
Nadbook is a curated UAE marketplace for vetted freelancers and business services, founded and operated in the United Arab Emirates by Nadeem Farooqi. Every seller is admitted through an admin-reviewed application, buyers contact specialists directly, and the platform takes zero commission.
Why Nadbook exists
Hiring in the UAE usually means choosing between two bad options: open marketplaces flooded with unverified profiles, or agencies whose pricing and processes are opaque. Nadbook was built as the third option - a small, curated directory where every listing has been looked at by a human, the scope is written down, and you talk to the specialist directly.
The catalog focuses on the work UAE businesses actually buy: automation (n8n, AI agents), Google and Meta advertising, SEO and GEO, web and app development, design, e-commerce, and VAT and compliance services.
How vetting works
Application, not open signup
Every seller applies and is reviewed by an admin before anything goes live. We check the work, the track record, and where applicable a UAE trade licence, GoFreelance permit, or Emirates ID.
Every listing reviewed
Individual services are approved one by one. Scope, deliverables and timelines have to be clear enough that a buyer knows exactly what they are getting before they reach out.
Reviews are moderated and real
Only reviews from genuine Nadbook-originated contact are marked up as reviews. Each one is checked before it appears, and the counts you see on a page always match the reviews published on it.
Contact-first, zero commission
You contact specialists directly on WhatsApp, phone, or email. Nadbook takes no commission and never sits between you and the person doing the work.
Who runs Nadbook
Nadbook is founded and operated by Nadeem Farooqi, a UAE-based marketplace and digital-marketing operator. The directory is curated hands-on: sellers are admitted personally, listings are edited for clarity, and the catalog grows deliberately rather than through open signup.
