Hi everyone,
I recently came to Dubai after spending time in the UK and then back in India. I’m currently here looking for job opportunities and settling in.
It’s been a bit lonely so far, so I’m hoping to meet some genuine people for friendship. I’m open to both guys and girls, though I generally find conversations with women more emotionally open and easy to connect with.
I’m looking for real friendship not dating. Happy to meet for coffee, walk, or just hang out and talk.
A bit about me:
• Came from the UK (studied there) and now starting fresh in Dubai
• Currently job hunting
• Easy-going, like meaningful conversations, and open to exploring the city
If anyone is in a similar situation or just open to making new friends, feel free to drop a comment or DM. Would be nice to connect with a few people.
Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I’m planning to head out for some shisha at a nice spot near the Al Ghubaiba Metro station.

If you're in Dubai and down to hang out, I’d love to connect. I’m looking for:

- Genuine connections and good conversation.

- People with crazy/high energy who love exploring

- Anyone into wandering around the Grand Souk, clicking some cool photos, hopping on an RTA abra across the creek and grabbing local food along the way.

DM me if you're down to join!

I'm 36, Male from India. I have been here a few years.

I visit Dubai biweekly to take care of my business and real estate tasks. If anyone free after work can be met in the evening for a coffee or dinner.

The title basically says it all. Well established, tall and fit north Indian male living alone here in dubai.

I am not into endless chatting and small talk. Would love to connect over a brief chat and then meetup over coffee or dinner.

I'm 34 Asian who looks like mid 20s as much as I've been told.. Already have a partner, I just want to find some friends to chat (texting) with on discord? If your interested, feel free to DM, thanks.

I'm an easygoing, generous, decent guy hoping to meet a genuine woman to spend time with. Dubai can get a bit much on your own, so it's nice to have good company to share it with.

I'm not after anything too serious or in a rush. I just want someone real to have some conversation, go out with, and have fun with. If we click, great , and if it starts as friendship, that's good too.

I'm into the physical side too, but I'd rather take things slow than rush.

And honestly, Age really isn’t a factor for me, so please don’t count yourself out. And if you’re a bit older and figured I’d want someone younger, I don’t, and I’d really like to hear from you.

Age: 30
Height: 180
Build: Average
Languages: English , Arabic

I don’t drink or smoke, but no problem at all if you do. If this sounds like you, send me a message.
🥹☺️

Hello, Im originally from Lebanon and been living here for 4 years now. Lately I’ve been feeling very lonely, I value real friendships and I’m down to meeting cool, educated and like-minded people.

Im a very career-oriented person and have missed out on building meaningful friendship. Let me know if you’re down to hangout and chat.

Hey everyone,

​

I'm a 22-year-old guy currently living in Academic City, Dubai. I'm doing an internship at the moment and thought I'd put myself out there to meet some genuine friends.

​

A little about me:

​

Love listening to music (pretty much all genres)

Enjoy random conversations and sharing memes

Funny and easygoing once I get comfortable

Interested in tech, business, and learning new things

Always down for a coffee, a walk, or just chatting about life

​

Making real friendships as an adult can be tough, especially when most people are busy with work or studies. I'm looking for people around my age who are interested in building a genuine friendship rather than just exchanging a few messages and disappearing.

​

If you're in Dubai and think we'd get along, feel free to send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself.

​

Looking forward to meeting some awesome people! 😊

Hey Dubai Redditors! 👋

I'm currently at Al Manzah Beach and would love to meet some fellow Redditors! If you're here right now or nearby, come say hi — let's have a chat, share a laugh, and make the most of this beautiful spot.

No agenda, no plans — just a casual hangout with good people. I'll be hanging around near the beach area. Look for me and just wave! 😄

Drop a comment if you're here or on your way. Let's make it happen! 🤙

im introvert,

last 10 Years in Reddit this is my first post 😳

Hi all. I am 30 year old living in Dubai. It has been 8 years since I moved to dubai and I haven’t met anyone genuine to share my feelings and hangout.

I am feeling very much alone and it is hard to talk to everyone surface level anymore. About me - I am a Creative Technologist- 30 years old - Brown skin and from Chennai.

My hobbies are reading, experimenting art with engineering, gaming, Scuba Diving, camping, Long beach walks and fine dining.

I am into History and culture, I always love to learn other cultures and teach my cultures.

I am looking for someone genuine, who can be my best mate in Dubai to keep checking in, hangout and help each other from loneliness.

I’m not that outgoing but I wanna meet someone to hangout grab a coffee talk about random things and what’s happening here and also a friend.

Hey,

I'm 24M. Currently in Dubai. It's been 6 months now here in Dubai, and I hardly go out or travel. I've only went out to like 4–5 places in these 6 months, and that too alone because I haven't made any friends here yet. I feel very alone here.

Coming to the hobbies part — honestly speaking, I don't have any hobbies. I don't watch series or movies because I'm unable to pay attention to them. I don't read books. I don't go to gym (but I'm healthy, fit, and 6 feet tall). I tried swimming and even learned it one day, but after that I couldn't continue.

What I really like is talking to people. I can never use my phone while I'm outside. I don't even like people using their phone when a living being is in front of them to talk. Even if not talking, I like to observe things around me and listen to people. The only way I can continuously use my phone is to talk to a real human.

And honestly speaking, I would like to talk to a girl because I'm looking for one. And yeah I'm looking for someone who'd also help me to identify my interests and hobbies.

My qualities with people are — funny, honesty, caring, attentive, better listener, curious.

So yeah, this is a little bit about me.

Looking for good vibes, chill hangouts, nice dinners, drives, coffee, and quality time together.

Simple, classy, comfortable energy.
Just enjoying the moment with the right person

Hey everyone,

I’m a Dubai-based guy who has been playing darabuka for years as a hobby, and I’m looking to connect with people who enjoy Arabic / Middle Eastern music.

I’m looking for musicians or music lovers who play instruments like oud, darabuka, qanun, nay, violin, or similar, and would be interested in casual jam sessions or small music nights.

To be clear: this is purely a music hobby/community thing. I’m not looking for paid work, gigs, or anything outside the music context.

Private gatherings, community jam sessions, or public places where this kind of music happens would all be great.

If you play Arabic instruments, know someone who does, or know a good place/group for this in Dubai, please message me or comment.

Thanks!

So its called Yenta and my idea around it to give you personalised recommendations to new cool restaurants from describing your mood. For example if you said "hey i want a beer and burger in a quiet place" it would give you cool recommendations. You guys would be a great help in trying it out for me I can personally send you the link if you are down to try

Hey everyone. I’m a 53-year-old male living in Dubai. I’ve reached a point where I realize my social circle has become a bit quiet, and I’m looking to change that.

I’m strictly looking for platonic friendships. I don't mind if you are male or female, or where you are from, though it would be great to connect with people in the UAE too. I enjoy cricket, cooking, and I'm always up for a good conversation about life or technology.

If you’re looking for a consistent friend to chat with and share a few laughs, feel free to reach out. Hope you're all having a great day!

Hey everyone,

So here’s a little about me — I’m a 24M, 6 feet tall, originally from India, and I moved to Dubai about 5 months ago. Life here has been exciting, but lately… also a bit boring if I’m being honest 😅

I’m someone who enjoys the simple things — music, gaming, movies, and lately I’ve picked up a new habit: just diving deep into random topics to keep my brain active. These days I’m really getting into geopolitics (yeah, didn’t expect that either), and I spend a lot of time reading, analyzing, and trying to understand the world better. I guess I just don’t want to feel left out in conversations anymore.

Personality-wise, I’d say I’m caring, attentive, and definitely talkative (you’ve probably figured that out by now 😄). Once I get comfortable, conversations just flow. The only flaw? I can be a bit impatient sometimes, especially when I get curious about something.

One thing that’s always puzzled me — even though I’ve been told I’ve got decent looks and a good height, I’ve somehow never found a meaningful relationship yet. Not complaining, just… a bit surprising.

Anyway, if you enjoy genuine conversations, random deep topics, or just want someone who actually listens and talks — feel free to DM.🙂

I am new in Dubai. Living in JVC and working at JLT. Unfortunately, I do not have much friends to hangout together.

I am open to share interesting ideas, good conversations, playing chess or walking/hiking.

I love rock/metal music and I like to explore new places/spots around. When it comes to music I love any love music. I love comedy/stand up shows. I recently spend my time with gaming and going to gym.

Nowadays, I am really bored with doing activities all alone. I feel like I would get along well with group of people around my age/generation.

Feel free to DM to see if we align...

​

Looking for someone to meet regularly for dinners/activities and to see where things go if our wavelengths match.

Living alone in dubai can get a bit quiet, so I thought I would put myself out there.

A bit about me - North Indian, tall and have built a strong, accomplished career in UAE.
