Pursue your hobbies with amazing new friends

"An island in the Persian Gulf, though the city has now sprawled across to the mainland as well, Abu Dhabi can be a great place for expats, especially with the InterNations community helping you to make the most of your experience!

Do you want to continue with your hobbies — or discover new ones — while living in Abu Dhabi? There’s a variety of InterNations Groups you can join, including everything from sightseeing to hiking. These are run by dedicated Consuls with at least one activity each month, such as dinners in Abu Dhabi’s finest restaurants or outings with other expats to explore all that the capital of the United Arab Emirates has to offer, from the five-star Emirates Palace, a palace-like hotel with a private marina to Sheikh Zayed Mosque, the UAE’s largest mosque and an architectural marvel, and much more."
