Is it easy to make friends as an expat in Dubai?

Making friends as an expat in Dubai can be both easy and challenging depending on your approach. In my 5 years here, I found that joining social clubs or attending community events significantly helped in meeting new people. The city’s diverse culture fosters a welcoming atmosphere, but it does require some effort to reach out. I recommend starting with Meetup groups or local expat events to build your social circle quickly!
