Relocating to a new city means meeting and making new friends. If you have children of school age meeting people is slightly easier but many people relocate to Dubai without kids so that expat has to make an extra effort to meet people. A great way to do this is do join a social club! There are a variety of social clubs in Dubai from hobby clubs, women’s clubs, sports clubs, etc. This directory will focus on Nationality specific social clubs as well as women’s clubs. Nothing better for a homesick expat then to make a few new friends from “home”.
