The Emirates Expat Community
The Expat Community UAE welcomes you!
As-salām 'alaykum and a heart-felt welcome to the InterNations expat community in the UAE! Our international community caters to your specific needs and supports you in relocating to and putting down roots in the Emirates. Living abroad in a foreign country is definitely a great intercultural experience, but typically brings up a lot of questions for the UAE expat: ʺWhat is the best international school for my kids in the UAE?ʺ, ʺHow do I find a job for my spouse in Dubai?ʺ or ʺWhere in Abu Dhabi can I meet fellow expats and compatriots from my home country?” Just to name a few examples…
InterNations aim is to help you, as an expat, in becoming part of the UAE expat community and exploring the Emirian way of life in all its aspects: From enjoying the traditional shawarma to celebrating Leilat al-Meiraj.
Enjoy the Expat Living in the UAE to the fullest
With attractions ranging from the only 7 star hotel in the world to the beautiful wildlife conservations and sanctuaries of Ras Al Khaimah, the Emirates fascinates expatriates and globetrotters of many nationalities every year. The sizable expat community in the UAE is, however, mostly drawn to the country by the urban growth of Abu Dhabi and its political as well as economic opportunities, e.g. in the petro sector. Whether you move to and live in the UAE for professional or private reasons, you’ll surely take with you lifelong memories of great international experiences and intercultural exchange.
Become part of UAE’s lively Expat Community!
In our private community, you can easily get to know fellow expatriates in the Emirates in a casual way – within a safe, invitation-only environment where trustworthiness and respectful behavior are key. Ask our helpful and friendly expat members for advice from UAE’s international community, e.g. with regard to getting a residence permit. Furthermore, you’ll meet with other expats at our high-class InterNations Events – mixing and mingling in hotspots like Dubai or Sharyah, for all internationals belonging to the expat community in the UAE.
