Selling a wool jumper in Ruwais
Ruwais is a purpose-built industrial city on the western coast, laid out around one of the largest refining complexes in the world and the housing that serves it. Almost everything in the town exists because of that complex, which makes the population unusually uniform in how long people stay and what they own.
Contract cycles govern everything here. People arrive furnished for a posting of a known length and sell up when it ends, so goods tend to be a few years old, well looked after and available in complete household sets rather than one item at a time.
The town is planned and compact, so meeting up is simple once you have agreed which part of it. Company housing often has its own access arrangements, so check whether a visitor can drive in before you fix a time for a collection.
Ruwais, in Abu Dhabi, has around 25,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Madinat Zayed are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
