With Dubai being such a transient society this time of year witnesses the beginning of the leaving parties.  If you are in the midst of moving out of your home we are sure the last thing you want to be thinking about is catering for your big farewell party.  Here at Expat Echo Dubai we believe you should enjoy the party so have put together a list of outside catering companies which will rescue you from days spent in the kitchen filling canapés and polishing the glasses & cutlery.  These companies will arrive at your home with the food, tables, chairs, table cloths and even the waiters.  Many of the companies can provide anything ranging from a five course sit down dinner to the Shawarma man (secretly everyone’s favorite!).
