Western Expats in Abu Dhabi: I'm Maria and I am friendless.

Hello Everyone,

I have been here about a week and I am finding it really difficult to meet western expats - I work 9 hours a day, 6 days a week, and I really want to unwind with a drink with people who get me. Please IM me if you'd like to hang out!

Welcome Maria :)

Thank you.

Hi Maria,
Welcome on board ...I am sara from egypt moved to UAE 10 days ago with no friends.. if u like we can meet and hang out together
thanks & wish u great day

Hi

Hi Maria,

I have JUST moved here from London (moved here yesterday) I am also looking to make new friends and meet new people. I have taken to joining a few clubs such as yoga, in the hope of meeting some new people. I am not a massive party goer but also love to socialise outside of work (I work for a design agency)

Hi Jessica!

Welcome! I am so glad to hear that - because I have been here a little over a week now and it's just so hard to make friends. I'm not a huge party goer either, but when you work 6 days a week and see the same people all day, every day, it starts driving you nuts! Haha.

Do you have a phone yet?

Hey .

Hi and welcome to both Maria and Jessica. I have been in AD 4 years but enjoy meeting people N making new friends. I attend some coffee mornings when I can, these a through the American womens network - you don't have to be American either :-)

Hi Maria, My name is Krish. I am also from London and have lived in the Abu Dhabi for nearly 2 1/2 years.

We have all been in the same position, but luckily I work for a British company so there are quite a few of us that go out and have a few drinks and socialise.

If yourself or any others want to meet up and meet some new people, by all means get in touch, it is always good to meet new people.

Regards

Krish

Hi Maria, 

I am off to the left bank (be in al jazrain) on sunday evening. I love the place. It's a great place to make new friends, the kind where you can walk up to most people and say hi and not get a perverse response. I usually hang out there with my brother, collegue and pals.

But I'll be going alone tonight if you turn me down. Least I can do is show you one of abu dhabis best kept secrets.

Really hope you find the time.
Thanks
Benny
