InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Dubai

Hello to all Americans in Dubai! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Dubai? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Dubai which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for st■ turkey?

There’s no doubt about it: Dubai is a modern marvel. The most populous city of the United Arab Emirates is a dynamic city known for its tourist attractions, high-rise buildings, shopping centers, and much more! With the bus, tram, and water bus services, a monorail system, and the Dubai metro, as well as a comprehensive road network, navigating your way around the city from one place to the next is simple. This also means that if you don’t want to live among the hustle and bustle of the center, you can enjoy a quieter life in the residential areas of nearby Sharjah, for example, which are about half an hour ride away from Dubai’s center.

Although Dubai has lots to offer, you might be wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city. Luckily, InterNations is here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community. Within our international network in Dubai, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.

Attend our monthly events and join various interest-based groups to get to know like-minded expats and fellow Americans in Dubai. From sailing to spirituality, there is sure to be something for everyone!

Take this chance to mingle and meet other expats and global minds in Dubai.

    Dubai is such an overwhelming mixture of tradition and modernity that I was very grateful for all the support from other expats.
