When we asked people living in UAE about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...

"Expats in the UAE often join clubs and activities such as sports teams, book clubs, and language classes. These activities provide a great way to meet people and make friends. Expats can also meet people by attending events such as art exhibitions, concerts, and festivals. Additionally, many expats join social media groups and online forums to connect with other expats living in the UAE. Finally, expats can also meet people by attending networking events, joining professional organizations, and attending meetups," wrote a member who made the move to UAE.

Wafi City is a great place for various activities such as Sport club, various bars and restaurants, mall and the newly opened Raffles Hotel.
