The Expats - Newbies in Dubai (6600+ members)

Dubai - a melting pot of many cultures. However, sometimes we want to socialize & connect with people who are of a similar cultural background. We believe that ladies and gentlemen who have a similar cultural background more likely to be likeminded, have similar experiences, similar interests, have shared histories and aspirations. So, are you looking to meet & connect with other Western (or Western educated non westerners) Expats in the city? Then this is the perfect evening for you. (By Western we refer to people of all ethnicities, races and religions who are from culturally Western countries and include within it countries in Europe, North and South America and Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan, Singapore and Korea. Citizens of these countries and those who were educated or lived in these countries are invited to this social evening) Join us at The Lion (H Hotel, Sh. Zayed Road) where you can socialize, mingle & connect with other Western Expats (or Western educated non westerners) living in the city. The Lion : managed by homegrown culinary hero's (Nick & Scott) who are Gordon Ramsay proteges, The Lion celebrates the classic English pub culture. With a lively yet laid back ambiance, it brings back the pub nostalgia that you may be missing. Friendly staff, fun service & great old fashioned food are what set it apart from other pubs - the perfect place to spend an evening with friends... You will be welcomed into the group and you will be able to meet and interact with ladies & gents in a safe and comfortable environment... The best way to start your weekend...
