Where to Find Pokéstops and Gyms in Dubai

It's hard not to get caught up in the Pokémon GO craze that's sweeping across the globe right now. After its release in the USA, Australia and New Zealand, Pokémon GO quickly became the app with most users playing at any one time... Knocking dating app Tindr and social media giant Twitter off the charts.

While the game is yet to be released in the UAE, there is a way to download it onto your smartphone so you can begin your journey to becoming The Very Best That Noone Ever Was. We've got a step by step guide to downloading the app to help you out. 

Being in the UAE however, means that we don't have full access to a lot of the fantastic creatures that players in the USA are capturing.
