New to Dubai, How to spend my time !! Apr 11, 2011
Hi, I am a single man in my early 30's moving to Dubai for work for a year. My contract requires work which I can wrap up in 2/3 hours a day, 5 days a week. My working hours are also flexible. I'm wondering what is there to do in Dubai for the rest of the time there.

I don't need a second job as I'm good money wise, what I would appreciate is some suggestions / recommendations on how have a great time living there.

I've heard meeting new people can be difficult there and there is only so much clubbing a person can do. Is there any good school / university that I can attend which offers a light course load and the opportunity to meet good people ?

Thanks,

Voodoo

You're best bet is to take up a sport, join a club, that sort of thing - it's always a great way to meet people.

That and owing a Ferrari should be a good combo ;)

On a serious note, I'm not really looking to get laid, rather to have a good time with other educated people.
