How to make friends as an expat in Dubai?

Making friends as an expat in Dubai can be challenging but very rewarding. In my 5 years here, I found that joining local clubs or attending social events like Meetups is a great way to meet new people. Check out Facebook groups or platforms like Internations for events tailored to expats. Another tip is to explore the many cafes and community events around Dubai, where you can easily strike up conversations!
