Hi! I just wanted to ask, I am buying a second home, but its not in the UK, it’s in in Dubai. How easy is it to make friends and get to know people, as I won’t be working or studying there, however I will spend most of my time in Dubai.

It is very easy to make friends in Dubai, as long as you get out there and join things such as sports groups, take up a hobby or help out with a charity. You have to make the initial effort and after that you will find there are not enough days in the week to do all the things you want to do. It also makes it easier if you are actually in Dubai most of the time, because if you are in and out of Dubai, it can be hard to commit to some of these groups. The live links will give you details on the types of groups available in Dubai.
