Hi ladies,
I've recently moved to Dubai and looking to meet other ladies around 25-35 (kids / no kids / working / not working ) I enjoy going for a drink or lunch / shopping / beach / movies etc.. I did go to the coffee meet up but like I've read in other threads most of the ladies had groups that they stuck with and although everyone I met was lovely most of them had children that were my age, so we didn't really have too much in common.
Are there any other meet up groups that I can go to that I meet people around my age group?

Are there any other meet up groups that I can go to that I meet people around my age group? Yeah there is a website called Meetups, which I am guilty of being a member of for about 2 years and yet to make it to an event on there :biggrin: I am 30, work, married, no kids, from the UK and would be keen to meet, it is quite hard to arrange over here when you can't put up personal information! I keep saying I will make the Expat Woman evening event as I cant make the coffee mornings, maybe I will try the next one they hold! Hey Gev, Not sure how we can arrange to get in contact as you work and can't go to the coffee mornings and I won't be in Dubai for the next evening EW event either. BUT I would like to get in contact with you. Hmmm whats a womens meetup group you are in? Maybe I can join the same one and send you a message there? S. Hey! I am a member of a few groups on there, but if you join 'Crafting Female Friendships', and go to their most recent event which is tonight at Horizon Lounge in Habtoor, I have just put a comment in that event :) I am the one explaining I will make it to the next event! Look forward to hearing from you! :) Hi Gev, I didn't see your message but I have joined meet ups but it looks like I was too late to see your comment :( I will get your details from Miss_S Riss

Hey, I found the same, i've been to some meet up groups but they're either a bit above my age group or aimed more at singles/ladies nights. I've just joined the MeetUps website and Expat Connect so hope to find more there. I'm also in the marina, and child-free :) Hi desert Squirrel, are you working? Maybe we could meet at the coffee morning next Monday in the marina? At Costa?

Hi Riss, I am also new to Dubai, I'm 31, Australian, no kids, engaged. I enjoy going for coffee/drinks/lunch/dinner etc hehe this feels like a dating website thing. I'd be happy to meet to see if we share some similar interests. I've been to a few coffee meetings and have also met some lovely people, it is hard to make a connection though, so I understand that. I found though at the evening one there are more people in that age bracket you mention, but it is only once a month (I've only been to 1 so far). I joined on meetup as well and as Chrissy says you can choose the groups of interest. There are plenty of women ones too. If you want you can add me or send me a msg on FB just search sarannaxx S. Hi Miss_s, It does feel like dating haha! Are you working? When are you available for a meet up? Do you live in the marina area? I tried to search your FB and no luck.. You can search for me under Faulkner - wearing a grey dress! I will look up the meet up page! Thanks :) its a shame we can't just message people on here, but anyway. S

Hi Riss I'm also Australian (and fall smack bang in the middle of you age bracket), and will be moving to Dubai at the start of July. My husband is going for work at the end of March, and he'll be working a lot, so I'm very keen to get in touch with people around my age. It seems so far away, but this year is just slipping away, and I'd love to meet up once I arrive ? My husband also works a lot of hours! Hopefully I will have found my feet by the time you have arrived and I can tell you & show you what I know :) This year is flying by! Can't wait to meet you!

I also believe there is a British Mums FB page too that you can join. MeetUp Dubai is another one that has different interest groups
