You are not alone in the Gulf

A move to the Gulf can sometimes be a daunting prospect, therefore it is good to know that you are not the only expat in your new location.

In our experience, relocating to the Gulf Region can come with challenges, especially if you are going alone. A great way to help with this is by getting in touch with some of the local expat community using online chat forums. This allows you to connect with likeminded individuals and seek advice from those expats currently living in the location. Most forums have a variety of threads and topics, with people seeking all kinds of advice allowing you to gain a vast amount of valuable insider information. The forums can also act as a great way of meeting new friends, finding out when and where different expat activities are taking place and helping you settle in to your new surroundings.
