InterNations helps you connect and meet up with other Portuguese in the UAE, residing in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharyah and many other places throughout the country. Just take a look at our group of Portuguese in Dubai or Portuguese 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.
