How do I meet people in Al Ain?
When we asked people living in Al Ain about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Major international hotels are (in order of my preference) the Intercontinental, Hilton, Rotana, Mercure Jebel Hafeet. The Palm Resort has a Rugby Club and Golf Club and both are good value. Have a look at the Living in Al Ain thread on the British Expats site in the Middle East Forum, it is a very popular thread and full of information about events, schooling, life in general," explained one expat living in Al Ain, UAE.
