FAQ

New to the UAE: common questions

How can I meet people when I’m new in Dubai?

Join group activities where everyone comes on their own: classes, run clubs, quiz nights, workshops and community meetups. Every plan on this calendar is a group activity, so it’s an easy first step.

Can I go to these events alone?

Yes. We choose events where going solo is normal, such as classes, clubs and meetups, so you will not be the only new face.

Are the events free?

Some are free and some are paid. Each listing shows whether you need to book and links to the organiser’s official page.

How do I add an event to my calendar?

Pick an event and use the add to calendar option on its listing, or open the event page for full details and booking.

Where else can I find things to do?

See things to do this weekend, workshops and classes and business networking, or browse everything on What’s On.

I run a group or meetup. Can I be listed?

Yes. Send your event through our submission form and we will review it.
