Community Websites
Dubai has many different communities each with their own amenities, services, shops, restaurants, ect. While it is nice to discover your new surroundings on your own at your own pace, it is often useful to have some help. Many communities offer forums, web and face book pages which offer a comprehensive resource about what it’s actually like to live in these communities, services available and events due to take place. Some of these sites are resident run and have nothing to do with the master developer such as Emaar or Nakeel.
Expat Echo Dubai has compiled a list of the active community sites to help you settle in.
