Default Moving to Dubai Today!

Hi all,

I am leaving the UK for Dubai today and am keen to meet up and get to know some fellow ex-pats, or at least get some advice with regards places to go.

I am a keen sportsman, like running, tennis, boxing, going to the gym, golf etc etc etc. Interested in taking up duathlon/traithlon too.

If there are any people out there looking for a playing partner or someone to make up a team, please let me know. Or if you know of any good sports clubs (and gyms especially, with good PTs), that would be great!

I am also a big fan of fine dining and good wine, so again, keen to meet up with fellow food/wine lovers. Alternatively, if anyone knows of any food/wine "clubs/groups", pointing me in the right direction would be very much appreciated.

Looking forward to moving out there: new, job, new challenge, new culture, new friends!

Martin

Good luck with your move, once you get settled have a look at the Meetup website, there are lots of social clubs on that.
