Tips and Advice on the UAE from Your Fellow Iraqi Expats

Obviously, expat life in the UAE goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow Iraqis is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Emirati mentality and way of life. Iraqis in the UAE are a part of our community, calling cities such as Dubai, Sharyah, Abu Dhabi, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Iraqis in Abu Dhabi, for example.

Wondering where to shop for Iraqi delicatessen, want to discuss your national team's latest match, or simply talk to someone in your native language? Become a member of the Emirati InterNations Community!

  • Our network is the best place to meet expats from Iraq.
  • On the the UAE Expat Forums, you can get competent answers to all your expat-related questions: how to find a babysitter fluent in your mother tongue, where to get masgouf in Abu Dhabi, etc.
  • The InterNations Places database for the UAE has information on the nearest Iraqi embassy and many other institutions.

From the tiny emirate of Ajman to the richest city in the world, you can meet supportive and friendly Iraqi expats in the UAE on InterNations.

Meet and Mingle with Fellow Iraqis in the UAE

Additionally, InterNations hosts regular expat events and activities in the UAE. Our get-togethers are sure to cater to your taste as well: as a member, you can partake in cozy gatherings to enjoy some Emirati shawarma, join one of our huge expat celebrations with hundreds of participants in Abu Dhabi’s best locations, and much more. Want to discover the UAE? Go on a weekend trip with your fellow expats to see the only 7 star hotel in the world and other beautiful landmarks.

Our meet-ups and activities offer many wonderful opportunities to mingle with expatriates hailing from Iraq and dozens of other countries in a casual setting. Just sign up for your InterNations membership and you’ll soon hear a cordial As-salām 'alaykum & hun bi xer hatin from our Iraqis living in the UAE!
