What is life like as an expat in your area?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...

"Al Ain is a great destination for expats and digital nomads looking for a unique experience in the United Arab Emirates. The city is known for its rich culture, stunning desert landscapes, and modern amenities. Expats and digital nomads can enjoy a variety of activities, from exploring the city's historical sites to taking part in outdoor activities such as sandboarding and camel riding. The city also offers a wide range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. With its low cost of living, Al Ain is an attractive destination for expats and digital nomads looking for a comfortable and affordable lifestyle," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Al Ain, the UAE.

"Life definitely revolves around work. Otherwise, it depends on if you are single, have children with you (and their age), etc. Singles often like to go to Dubai on the weekends for fun, sun, dance, shopping, friendships, etc. Families usually stay in the Al Ain area. With the clubs to join at the hotels, and other activities that many of them discover, there is sufficient activities for people not to get bored. There is a lot of socializing, too. Schools have a lot of after school activities, sports, dance classes, etc., and often have recitals and presentations. Married couples, and singles who do not enjoy the party/night life, join clubs and organizations in Al Ain, socialize among themselves, etc. We spend a lot of time at the mall, sitting and talking, too. Many people like to camp in the various Emirates as well. There are churchas and religious gatherings. Some of us organized Bible Studies, and were active in our churches. Some did volunteer work organizations such as Feline for Friends," commented one expat who made the move to Al Ain, UAE.
