Regular socializing with fellow Irish is an essential part of expat life and helps getting accustomed to the Emirati way of life and mentality. InterNations helps you connect and meet up with other Irish in the UAE, residing in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharyah and many other places throughout the country. Just take a look at our group of Irish in Dubai or Irish in Abu Dhabi.

    Dubai is such an overwhelming mixture of tradition and modernity that I was very grateful for all the support from other expats.
