Neighborou, the UAE's first hyperlocal community app, has officially launched, offering residents a way to connect, share, and support each other without stepping outside their building.The concept is simple yet transformative: residents can buy, sell, borrow, rent, donate, or exchange items with people living just an elevator ride away. From borrowing a drill for a quick home fix to finding affordable pre-loved furniture or donating baby gear, Neighborou turns everyday challenges into opportunities for collaboration.
