Tips and Advice on the UAE from Your Fellow Nigerian Expats

Obviously, expat life in the UAE goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow Nigerians is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Emirati mentality and way of life. Nigerians in the UAE are a part of our community, calling cities such as Dubai, Sharyah, Abu Dhabi, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Nigerians in Abu Dhabi, for example.

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