LIFE IN DUBAI

The truth is out there - yes it is! You will always find out more from those who have had first hand experiences. If you have questions, these are the places to go. Someone somewhere went through what you are going through, whether it was establishing your company in the country or finding an affordable 2 bedroom apartment. Join the forums, and ask away. If you don't ask, you don't get!
The Telegraph Expat Mentor Service
This service from the Telegraph Newspaper of the UK contains overviews of both Abu Dhabi and Dubai as well as a question and answer forum where seasoned expats from the cities answer questions from prospective movers.
Expat Woman
Although the boards are primarily for women, these are probably the most active boards on Dubai with heaps of backdated information that is a must to trawl through to
understand the issues that most people face.
Ryze (Dubai Business Network)
Ryze works well as a network all over the world, and as a forum for looking into business opportunities it works equally well in Dubai
Contact Networking Dubai
A great way to meet new contacts, whether you are looking for investors, a job, or
acquaintances.
New Dubai Resident
Great resource for newbies, especially for those moving to the Springs, Lakes, and Meadows
Allo Expat
Diverse coverage of questions
Dubai Forums
Wide ranging discussion forum from a diverse crowd.
Allo Expat
Diverse coverage of questions
Expat Exchange
An under utilised forum, albeit a very useful one with back dated information
Expat Gossip
Less gossip than opinion gaging on daily life issues
Virtual Tourist Dubai
Virtual Tourist Abu Dhabi
The Virtual Tourist Guides are very personal due simply to the fact that they are written by actual expats and tourists. With collections of tips and photos, these forums have a very 'real' nature to them
International Business Women's Group Dubai
International Business Women's Group Abu Dhabi
Networking Groups for Women
Bridget Jones Club
Chief Bridget organises this
group for single professional girls and ladies to make friends in Dubai and join in fun events and outings. If you are single, and new to Dubai, or into making a new crowd, this is the place to start, providing you are female of course. Meeting Darcy is not guaranteed, but having fun is.
British Expats
Middle East forum for British Expats although most questions are related to all.
Yahoo Answers
Tap into the minds of other who supposedly know one thing or two about the UAE. Worth checking out the backdated closed answers to get answers to your obvious questions.
Lonley Planet Thorn Tree
The relatively new Lonely planet thorn tree Middle East forum is proving to be an excellent source of information from those who have
visited the UAE and beyond, providing comparisons with other countries.
Dubai Expats
This Yahoo Group is by far one of the greatest sources on information to those moving to the UAE. With both topical debate as well as a wealth of files and historical messages (some located
here), this online group gives it all from many nationalities and many perspectives.
Dubai Discussions
Long running Yahoo Group with a number of notable contributors to debate.
UAE Blogger Community
Popular blogging central point, worth checking out.
