Hello

I will be moving to Dubai end of May with my husband and baby from
South Africa.
While doing some research I found the following website a free and friendly site especially for expat woman. XXXXXXXX

They have loads of events from coffee mornings, bookclubs, shopping hints, outings and they even offer a welcome tour.

I hope this will help.

Kind Regards
Charlene Rupp

Sure! I love coffee, like to read, eat... not too sure about scrapbooking, but it sounds like fun. I live in the Bur Dubai area... have plenty of time on my hands too. Would love to meet.

Hi There,
I will be moving from Texas this summer. I was wondering if you could help me with international schools? I have a ten year old and a five year old and I am having a tough time with the schools being full. Any advice would be greatful! I would love to stay in touch and meet you when our family arrives. What part of Dubai do you live in? We are looking in The Meadows and The Greens....

Thanks!
Steff

Sorry Steff, do you realise that the Meadows and Greens are v.different
Meadows are a little more "up market" villas (not cheap to rent), and the Greens are apartments?
Not sure if you are familiar with them at all, so just wanted to let you know they arent really alike.

Both are nice, but different

Hi fitlike

Odd question perhaps, but did you go to a coffee morning at The Lakes Club earlier today (Weds 7th)?
