New to Al Ain need a social life

[Lisa S]

I have just moved to Al Ain and started my new job. Have lived in Abu Dhabi for many years and will be going back and forth and to Dubai on weekends, but looking to meet some new and intersting people in Al Ain I can do soe socialising with. I'm single, 30, female and have been told funny at times enjoy swimming, running, cycling, generally being outdoors, but also enjoy pub quizes, cinema and anything really. Any intersting social events I should know about?

Thanks

Hi Lisa

and welcome to Al Ain. There is a great quiz night at the Rugby club on a wed eve (not on 24th and 31st Aug tho), with a special curry buffet at 30aed.

Last year I tried to get an "evening coffee morning" up and running and it had limited success, maybe someone will try again this year.

If ever you want to be my passenger on an offroad drive, then you just have to ask - though going away next week til the start of September.

Good luck

I would be up for the quiz night also. I have been here for about 3 weeks now myself, but due to my schedule being so screwed up it is hard to get out. I played rugby in Germany and looking to go watch a game or to play over 35 touch (screwed up my neck/not allowed any contact) I live in Motor City.

There is an outdoor Go Kart track 5 min walk from my apt. I guess you can also drive nice Audis on the Road track for a fee.

I am also single here looking to meet new folks. Never hurts to socialize/network for when my contract is up.

Oh I am a yank so when I hear football brain thinks of American Football. Though I did spend a couple years in germany I can make the distinction.

Wed is out for me. Working nights. Ail Ain is further out than I thought, but does sound like fun. What rugby club is this at so I can find it for a future date. Motor City is about 15 min out of Dubai. I am about 10 min or so from the 7's grounds/Dubai Exiles

Rugby club is at the Palm Sports Resort - on the "wrong" side of town if travelling from Dubai. I am sure you will find some quizzes in Dubai, but if ever you are off on a Wednesday eve the rugby club would be well worth a visit

Do they have a website? I tried to find the address or location but can't

[mgb]

The Palm Sports Resort Equestrian Club

Can't find a website for them - they do have a facebook page though

[kickdiver]

Yes, they are only on facebook.....I was trying to find more info on their gym, but could not really see much. Seems like the place to be in Al Ain for socializing.., and will certainly pay a visit to check it out when I get there. I am assuming it's mostly British Expats.... Rugby Club kinda gives it away , I gues...lol
