These are run by dedicated Consuls with at least one activity each month, such as dinners in Dubai’s finest restaurants or outings with other expats to explore all that the most populous city of the United Arab Emirates has to offer, from the phenomenal skyline and modern beach walkways of Dubai Marina to Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, which also offers the highest observation deck for spectacular views, and much more.
