THIS is quite possibly your last chance to get out into that beautiful Dubai sunshine, before the serious humidity descends.
We’re also aware that many move to this city without family and friends and that it can be tough to meet like-minded people.
But all is not lost.
Do you like being active? Do you like meeting new people?
Then roll up, roll up, this is the list for you!
There are plenty of opportunities to meet people in Dubai. Here are five ways to make some mates…
5. Join a running club
Best of all, the majority of these are free and run (enjoy the pun) by some of the big sports brands. You’ll find different group meets happening throughout the city on various nights.
Here are seven brilliant running clubs worth checking out
4. Fitness in DXB do an epic free weekend beach bootcamp
All abilities welcome, fitness in DXB offers free beach classes on Saturday mornings. Try this before it gets too hot.

3. Inter Nations
Inter Nations is a huge expat community group, you can find them all over the world, and the Dubai community is thriving.
It’s both an opportunity to meet new people, or express your worries and concerns with like-minded expats. You can meet expats from your own country or join the group at popular Dubai events and meet people from all over.

1. Pick a hobby, find a group
While there are plenty of groups out there specifically to meet people, the other option is to find a group related to your hobby.
Dubai has loads of active groups, usually connected through Facebook – you can join the group and then find out about future events.
Check out Dubai Weekend Photography, Dubai Astronomy Group, Dubai Cycling Community or pop your hobby into Google and have a search around.
Good luck!
