Hi there, I am working near Safar Park in the Emerat Atrium Building. The reason my inbox isn't working is because when I set this up I pressed the commar instead of dot on email address and I don't know how to change it! (if you know how please do tell me...)

Hi there,
I'm a first timer to expat.blog
I am thinking of relocating to Dubai or even Abu Dhabi.

How difficult is it to get a job in UAE.  Can someone put me in touch with recruitment agency that can help a South African?
It will be much appreciated.  I'm in the travel game - would prefer to find something in travel, but am not too fussy at this stage.

Thanks :)

Hi Steph, I think you will love the place here so much I'm new here too. I arrived from 3 months ago so far I like it and I like to meet new people. it's not so easy to find good friends here but it's there. anyway if you need any help you can simply ask

wish you a safe journey

Hi, I'm Steph, I'm 24...I've travelled a lot in life, but never to the UAE. I've just been offered something of a dream job in Dubai, in Jumeirah at one of the prestigious international schools teaching music, which is my background.

I haven't arrived yet, I touch down in the next week or two, and am most worried about meeting new people and making new friends. I'd love to join in any and all expat meet-ups and discussions.

Cheers,

Steph

Hi Clare, I think you are very true about making friends but it's there you can find a good person who care to make a deep relationship without thinking in one only thing.

I my self looking for that. I'm not in the position to want girlfriend or so but all I want for now is good friends who want to share some fun and respectable conversations

Hi everybody,
My name is Clare. I have been in Dubai for just over 2 months.
I am from South Africa and I am in the travel industry here!

The common thread that I read from everybody is that it is hard to make friends. I feel the same, especially being single.
I have only concluded that it is because everything is so transitinal in Dubai. So friendships tend to be of that value. But as I guess for people like us who like deeper relationships with one another we battle to get some depth.

I hope to join you all some time!
I have the Entertainer with millions of coupons for Dubai (ALL Need to be USED by the end of the year)
If anybody needs or wants to use some, please let me know.
I will gladly give them away.

Hello cagedbutterfly,
I just moved to dubai around a few weeks ago also from uk, just settling in now and getting used to working here.

How you finding it here?

Good to hear from you

Also most uae sites tend to list us as England rather than united kingdom which I find a bit weird

Anyways take care for now xx

Saud1979

Hi All,
Having lived in Dubai for over 32 years now, it's the first time I'm actually treating myself into a 'BLOG' or 'EXPAT NETWORK'..

My name is Saud Ahmed, am a 32 year old Pakistani whose been here all my life, and have seen this place grow and grow into something completely different. I still remember when I was a kid, whenever my Dad took me out I could literally see the Trade Centre 50 km's away, plus when we would pass by, it would be an honour to count off all the floors quickly to get myself treated by my parents.

Here I am, This is me, and there's no where else on earth I'd rather be ! Time to make new friends..

Hope everyone is doing well! :)
I've been here in Dubai for a year now.. most of my struggle during this rollercoaster ride is to meet and make new friends as i don't go out that often. My only life: home and work.

anyways, I still have time and I will be more than happy to have a set of new and worth keeping friends.. whoever is interested, do let me know.. cheers! :)

Hi

First of all, Let me thank the high initiative of Expat.com, Its really significant tool to bring people together and networking.

Well, I am Zaahirah from Mauritius. I am in love with Dubai since my first holiday here because I like the diversity of cultures, nationality, freedom, food and the security. I mean you can walk anytime on the street nobody will harm you. I like to exploit the magic of difference:)

hummm, I have a social worker background and a passionate artist. Arts is a part of me:) I would like to meet people with the same interest where we can have a productive and constructive conversation.

All the best and enjoy DUBAI


Hi Zaahirah..

This is Pradeep from India...I have been to Mauritius, loved that place

     Agreed that dubai is more of a international city,but nothing can beat mauritius peace and serenity.I hope it would be nice to catch up with you sometime :)

I'm 31, from Tehran and I have started working here from November, and it has not been much to it other than working, since! :D . so I'll be glad to meet and make friends with people here and do different activities with. I'm a beginner Tennis player, into psychology, love dancing (done some salsa and ballroom as a beginner), and into movies, music and books just as anyone might be :)
i hope i can meet you guys very soon :)

Hi Everyone,

I arrived in Dubai last week from the UK and so far I love it. I grew up here but it's changed beyond all recognition and the only place I recognise (I think) is the fantastic shop in Satwa with the clay oven selling chipattis. Although they have gone up to 1 Dh now lol!

I would love to meet other expat ladies for coffee/chat/going out but, most importantly, laughs and good times. Please feel free to message me and we can arrange something.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Nicky.

PS Sorry but I'm not interested in meeting men!!
