Abidjan Expat Community for Abidjan Expats

Welcome to the Expatriates Abidjan Community!

Salut and welcome to our community for Abidjan expats! Our private network helps you to settle in easily when moving to or living abroad in Abidjan: Get to know like-minded expatriates in Abidjan in a casual way, find reliable information and tips about expat life in Ivory Coast and meet fellow expats from Abidjan’s international community at our first-class InterNations events.

Curious to explore other communities in Africa, e.g. our chapter for Shanghai Expat? Or you might think of stopping by at our Hong Kong Expatriates community on your next weekend trip.

Make the most of your Abidjan Expat Life

The "Manhattan Of The Tropics" offers an exciting intercultural experience for expats, starting with cultural highlights, like the cathedral St. Paul of Abidjan, designed by architect Aldo Spiritum and inaugurated by Pope John Paul II in 1985,, the folkloristic festivities on the occasion of Ivory Coast’s the Fêtes des Masques, up to getting a taste of traditional shougouilla. The InterNations community helps you as an Abidjan expat to enjoy your expat stay in Ivory Coast to the fullest. Our members have already come across many of the questions you’ll have when starting your expatriate life in Abidjan and kindly offer you their assistance, from ʺWhere can I buy some quality arts and crafts for my friends back home?ʺ up to ʺWhich nationalities (both African and non-African) dominate the expat community of Côte d'Ivoire?ʺ.
