Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to Expat Women in need of some advice and friends :) I'm a 24yo single girl from England who moved here a week ago. When I accepted my job, I was told that I would be put up in a hotel for the first 2 months and then 'the girls at work would help me find a place as that's what they've all had to do' within that time. The day before I left, I was sent an email from my manager saying that I would only be in the hotel for a week now as they had found me an 'apartment' to live in straight away where some of the other girls from work live. I thought 'great - saves me the hassle' - until I went to visit it this weekend. I was absolutely appalled and came out in tears. It was like a clean Indian slum. No bigger than a matchbox and I wish I was over exaggerating, I am still in the hotel but move in to the '**** shack' as I am calling it, on Friday. Sorry for the life story... :) So, basically I am looking for a flat mate. I have applied for places on my own but my budget only just scrapes the barrel for what I need. My budget is 4000-5000dh a month, and I am looking for someone who could match that so that we would have 8000-10,000 a month for somewhere quite decent. Ideally, I would love someone British/American or very fluent in English between the ages of 20-30, fun, good sense of humour, and likes to socialise and go out, cleanliness/tidiness/hygiene is necessary. I need to be as close to Al Karamah as possible for work (no more than 10-15 min drive away.) Also, I am looking for new friends in Abu Dhabi, unfortunately the girls at work are very clicky and haven't been the kindest of people to me, but I am remaining positive and keeping a smile on my face as I really want to make this work. If you know anybody who would be interested, please share this with them, or any advise for me on where else I could share this post then please do. Thanks xx Just realized this is from one year ago. Hopefully you found better accommodation even though so deem is a lovely area. I live in al karamah and its mostly villas there. Huge villas where sheikhs and VIP people live. I am not one of them though lol. I've seen many expat women sharing a villa next to ours ( Brits and Americans and some other Europeans). I guess you can get your own room and bath for your budget. If you need any help or have any questions hit me up :)

Hey Bob, I'll be relocating to dubai in 2 weeks and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna feel exactly the same. I'm a bit shy and an introvert so connecting with people and making friends isn't exactly something I'm good at. If you'd like to meet up some time or have a chat and get to know each other , pm me :)
