Our Story


The Start

SUM’s origins started as a Facebook group, Dirham Stretcher, in 2016 by a group of friends to help save money, guide each other, share tips and tricks around the UAE.

Started from humble beginnings - Dubai

Al Seef Treasure Hunting - Dubai

A Community

It quickly became a community to hunt deals, save money and stretch your Dirham!

A Hot Topic

Weekend activities with family and kids became a hot topic.

Adventures on the Palm Jumeirah Monorail - Dubai

Father’s Day Breakfast - Dubai

Hidden Gems

While discovering UAE’s best culinary hidden gems became a topic of debate.

Together

Sharing events and off the beaten track activities brought the community together.

Food Truck Jam, Emirates Golf Club - Dubai

Around the House

Even a couple of DIY’s and recipes around the house helped get us through the tough times.

True Calling

But our true calling became product reviews and finding discounts.

Unboxing became a Part-Time Job - Dubai

Helping with some Grand Openings - Al Khawaneej, Dubai

Collaboration

And along the way we collaborated with brands, local shops and guided your way through the UAE.
