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

Making friends in Dubai as an expat can be quite easy, especially if you join community groups or attend social events. In my 5 years living here, I have found that the diverse expat community hosts numerous meet-ups and activities, which are great for networking. For example, joining clubs like the Dubai Expat Meetup or participating in sports events can help you connect with others who share your interests. Additionally, apps like Meetup or Bumble BFF can also help you find potential friends in the city.
