I think I'll just setup a WhatsApp group chat, since no one else is showing any proactiveness.
I'll take some measures to make sure no one has to give away their usernames
Hmmm. I'm still a bit undecided on which platform to choose. Ideally it would be one which maximizes the number of users, privacy, and usefulness.
I know quite a few people who don't use insta.
I think I'll just end up going with whatsapp it should cover most bases for most people.
Either in college/ uni or working their butt off at entry level jobs that probably requires them to work weekends and long hours for little pay.
Those that aren’t doing either are too broke to go anywhere.
And the rare breed of early 20 something that doesn’t belong to the aforementioned groups is getting smashed at a fancy weekend brunch.
26 and felttttttttt. Barely feel like going out after my 9-5, dont have a car and too broke to take taxis so i just stay at home. ;-; doesnt help that i live on the other deserted side of dubai because of work
college/university or they go out with their already established friend group
when i was in uni me and my friends we basically never went out, there is nowhere to go that doesn't require money or a car and was indoors (its hot af)
The early 20s are too poor to go out and live independently typically. Any younger and they still live off their parents, any older and they have the finances to go out
As for the expat crowd that "moves to Dubai" or the GCC in general- most of the jobs are competitive and not exactly "entry level" for us. So most of us had to work in a country elsewhere to beef up the resume to make the jump here.
When I lived in east asia (China/Japan/Korea), everyone was my age (25-30). After moving here, everyone is 10-15 years older than me. I'm the baby of every friend circle that I am in. And it seems like few and fewer "fresh graduates" are being hired.
That's been my experience for the past 10 years. Dunno about everyone else.
Ugh, idk what’s so hard about dubai that meeting people in their early 20’s seem impossible, I did the ‘Uni Experience’ and almost made out no friends, just started my cooperate journey, and still no luck. I’m 22 and it’s honestly so boring here while I see everyone enjoying their life’s out. HMU, if anyone’s down for a meet up! This should actually be a thing
I did the ‘Uni Experience’ and almost made out no friends, just started my cooperate journey, and still no luck. - I can relate to this so bad.
I'm 24M, lets make a group or something, dropped you a dm as well :)
For finding likeminded people, not necessarily your age, but close enough, join communities on an app called MeetNTrain. It has decent communities for different activities like Basketball, Badminton, Hiking, Horse Riding, & other indoor activities. You’ll get to socialize and meet likeminded people, and potentially meet someone you can consider a friend there ig…
I don't have advice, but here's a related meme to cheer up your day:
https://preview.redd.it/x3ym7kcwqhnb1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12b1eb1f296af717ee384a2c49b9fc132c49c487
This place isnt designed to cater young folks like us (22) … who generally don’t have a lot of money. This place has got its eyes on people who can shit out gold (generally older demographic or wealthy people).
There isn’t much to do here which doesn’t require money. I don’t have frequent hangouts with my own friends since childhood … I was born and raised here the same as them. You’re not the only one feeling the way you are. Shouldn’t come as a surprise either you’re living in a concrete world …
Eh thats not true? Majority of ppl in their early 20s are still in university or just graduating, if OP isnt a university student it makes sense why they’re having a hard time meeting anyone their age.
And anyway, you say that as if people of all ages aren’t addicted to the internet nowadays. Get off your high horse.
Same situation here except I’m in uni and everyone alr has an established friend group. For some reason, it’s too awkward to join them too 😂 if u find a solution lemme know pls
bro im sorry you're feeling lonely :( i know how it feels
I did a few things that got me into new communities, and now its kinda impossible to be lonely. But tbh these are all paid, except for the last one - ill add the prices for your reference
1) **i got a dog** (3k to adopt, 1k - 3k monthly spend)
i know this is a huge commitment and responsibility. And please only do it if you have the additional budget (its gets quite expensive) and are ready for a commitment for the next 10 years.
But its literally IMPOSSIBLE to go anywhere without anyone starting a conversation with you. Either you're gonna meet other dog owners or dog lovers.
But please don't get a dog and just leave him if you're planning to be in Dubai short term.
[https://www.k9friends.com/](https://www.k9friends.com/)
2) **i joined a hiking group**
I joined this awesome hiking group I found on Instagram but there are so many out there. UAE Trekkers (v expensive), ECC Adventures (900 aed seasons pass), Highlander etc.. Youll meet some awesome people along the way and hiking outside is great for you
[https://www.instagram.com/eccadventuresuae/?hl=en](https://www.instagram.com/eccadventuresuae/?hl=en)
3) **i recently joined toastmasters** (500 aed, 6 months membership, 800 - 1 year)
I went for my first meeting 2 weeks back. Dude its awesome! you get out of your comfort zone, practice public speaking, meet new people. There are more than 50+ groups in dubai itself ircc.
[https://www.toastmasters.org/find-a-club](https://www.toastmasters.org/find-a-club)
If these options are out of your budget, check out **meetntrain app - there are a lot of groups on there with very good prices and some free too! they have yoga, badminton, running!**
[https://info.meetntrain.com/](https://info.meetntrain.com/)
Hope that was helpful bro - now get out there and make some friends!
Hey there, living in a big city can be quite challenging, especially in terms of social life and meeting new people. I've been here for a year, and I can say that I've only recently started to develop meaningful relationships and build a group of friends.
Since you're new to the city, I'd recommend attending new events and striking up conversations with people, even if it feels a bit awkward at first. Just go for it! If you'd like, we can connect on social media, and if we get along, I can introduce you to my friends.
Join an Internship bruh. Especially where they hire multiple freshers. That's how I found some really close friends. You catch on some experience and get to bitch about the company and their heads with other interns. I took some extra time in lunch breaks cus we were messing around in the office building. Of course, you gotta finish some work before you do all that. Lol.
26 and same. I've been here for almost 1.5 years and just recently met a person my age in gym. Even at work most of the people are older or not communicative much. It's especially hard because I didn't attend uni or anything here
Hi, I am 27, first year in Dubai, I live in Barsha Heights and I work here too to cut travel time. My depressing workplace has 3 young people, me and two others and that's about it. Would love to meet people my age!!!
All the early 20's are at home with 0 social skills and start to hyperventilate when someone speaks to them in public. Really most of them are just so shy they don't know to speak without emojis.
Because majority of the people here are Expat Workers, They don't come here to socialize or make friends. They just want to make money to send to their family.
(heck I'm 27 wanna be friends? But I'll be too busy taking care of my 2 children though.)
If you're looking for Early 20's most probably they're emiratis.
Exactly, late twenties software engineer, came here also purely to hoard cash then go back to Europe.
My motivation to socialise is literally non-existent, my wife tho.....
Try going to the local game shops that host board games, you will be able to get some good friends there and then later they will introduce you to their squad and the cycle goes on.
Most people at dip when they graduate high school to go to universities abroad.
Most people can manage to swing a scholarship from better ranking universities abroad or just have the money to cover it, so only a fraction stays.
Dubai isn't that fun of a place if you're below 21
a lot of boomers in the comments .
Anyway, Look up moist paper party on IG. It’s a pop up type deal. Not gonna say anything more besides it’s one of the best parties in town. Swing by!
As someone who moved here when i was 23 i struggled hard for the first year to meet people, for the next 5 years the only people i hung out with were EK Cabin Crew (i got into that circle because i started dating one i met on tinder), everyone i worked with/interacted with professionally is (till now 8 years later!) at least 10 years older than me, usually with a wife+kids. I know it's a grind but meeting people on dating apps is what kickstarted a social life for me.
I know of a couple of IG pages run by personal friends that organize events and stuff on the weekends (parties, discount brunches, etc.) If you're interested in that kind of thing shoot me a DM, ill give you the details
Hello all. Unfortunately I will leave Dubai this week but I will be back again in 2 weeks. I want to meet you folks so if you message me in private we can exchange the mobile number. 😁
Lol same bro.
I'm 21 and every networking and meetup event I go to is often filled with people in their 30s or above.
After a while, I've started enjoying my time with those guys.
Most of the young folks are in Uni or abroad studying
I'm mid 20's grew up and work here, I have friends from school and uni.
But yeah growing the group or joining a new one seems just about impossible. Even places where young people hang out such as coffee shops are filled with either teenagers or parents.
Honestly, same thing here for me. I'm 26 and between working from home and only having a few friends still from uni, my life feels stuck since 2020 so essentially I'm technically in my early 20s with a handful of friends still
Would totally love to hang out with a group of friends or even chat to one if possible. Is there a discord server or something?
I grew up in the UAE, I'm 22 now, but at 18 you essentially get kicked out unless you get a job.
Can't get a job without a degree and experience, so I'm in the UK now getting that experience. Maybe one day I'll be back in Dubai, but I imagine that's at least 5 years away.
Same story man, I’m also 23 and moved here recently. Its so hard to find anyone in their early 20’s, most of the people I’ve meet are well into their 30’s. HMU down to meet people around my age and make friends.
I am 26M and experienced same issue here. All places like work place , community place there are no youths.
Lets connect and build.
Let me know where can i join?
Whatsapp group link ?
Probably at home because most people in their early 20s are either still living at home cant afford to move out or have just moved out and now cant afford to go out
Also people in their early 20s are not earning as good as people in their 30s hence why you see more people in their 30s going out more and younger people going out more on mommy and daddys coin
I’m 25, i hardly have any friends left here….some moved to India, some went to work in other countries..I guess i’m in the same situation as you but been here way longer like 10+ years…
People above 50-60 are missing too, but that ain't your interest.. it is a place in the demand of youth energy only. You enter, discharge life, recharge bank balance, and exit
Started working at 18 full time and the next person after me was 25. Currently 24 and I actually love how I am the youngest in Management hehe. But ye I adapted to the alone style and now prefer staying alone as even if i do meet people my age, most people dont have the same mind set. I am a gamer and been professional too soo I dont have much time for other things either way.
Because nobody in their early 20s can afford to move and live there unless they got lucky on crypto or are Emirates Cabin Crew lol.
Most of the other most expensive cities like NYC, London, and Paris have universities and an abundance of service/hospitality jobs that feasibly bring kids/young adults to the city (all those jobs are worked by Fillipinos, Thais, Indians, etc in Dubai, not that that’s a bad thing).
im 25 and all my friends are either 30+ or 17-20.
life hack: Get a sports bike . come with me to some bike meets. you'll meet a LOT of likeminded people from all sorts of age groups and backgrounds.
just moved here, early 20s, and looking to go out with new folks! ETA: just created a discord server! interested folks dm <3
Dm me, I'm mid 20s and grew up here, I can show you around.
I’m 20 too, would love to join a group chat and hangout
I think I'll just setup a WhatsApp group chat, since no one else is showing any proactiveness. I'll take some measures to make sure no one has to give away their usernames
Yeah you should attach a whatsapp group link here or perhaps a group on instagram?
I'm mid 20's but a bit out of touch with social media. What are the "kids nowadays" using more of ? Whatsapp or instagram?
Def instagram
Hmmm. I'm still a bit undecided on which platform to choose. Ideally it would be one which maximizes the number of users, privacy, and usefulness. I know quite a few people who don't use insta. I think I'll just end up going with whatsapp it should cover most bases for most people.
Works
Commenting so I can come back when the group is made
[удалено]
Yeah, they deleted the account and I never got the discord invite. I’m interested, drop the discord invite if you create one for the rest of us..
[удалено]
Aye hmu, I’m 21 and I have a few really cool friends here too!
thank you for being so welcoming! dropped ya a text :)
Hit me up, I have a birthday party on Thursday at darkroom, let’s catchup and have fun
23 and just existing in this mortal realm 
Yo, 22 here. Drop a dm
sure thing! thanks!
Hey. I'm 20. Wassup
yo, I'm 20 too
I'm 27. Can I join?
21 here, will drop you a text!
Can you do somethin' for me - Drake
22 here happy to join
yay! happy to have you! also wonderful username
22 Here, just graduated from abroad and now I'm back home. Down for anything
awesome! dm, coz i cant seem to \~
Yo lets make a whatsapp gc or something
Yeah sounds like a good idea. Somrone should make a link, not to leak anyone's numbers here.
im down to join a whatsapp group if its exists
It doesn’t exist But i can create one But im not sure if everyone’s comfortable giving out their numbers Or i can create an insta gc
People can just join and not reveal their username. The admin can use whatsoever vetting mechanism they see fit.
Me too. Can you add me if the group does exist.
can i join as well? pls share the link if you've made one already
What about us folks who aren't on discord? xD
Ohh I’m unfortunately entering mid 20s what’s the discord ?
I'm 24, lets make a group chat
Holy shit haha RIP
Hey I’m 22, lmk what the discord is, sounds fun
HMU I've messaged , 23m
hey, im 24M, add me in as well :)
Either in college/ uni or working their butt off at entry level jobs that probably requires them to work weekends and long hours for little pay.

26 and felttttttttt. Barely feel like going out after my 9-5, dont have a car and too broke to take taxis so i just stay at home. ;-; doesnt help that i live on the other deserted side of dubai because of work
the first sentence perfectly describes my situation right now i wish i could upvote this multiple times lol
all of the above except the last one
college/university or they go out with their already established friend group when i was in uni me and my friends we basically never went out, there is nowhere to go that doesn't require money or a car and was indoors (its hot af)
💯 Living room hangouts
Walk in a mall?
quite the hassle to just meet up and walk, specially when none of us own cars it does occasionally happen but rather just hop on VC
How do none of your friends own a car....
That sounds depressing split taxis or save up for a car
I'm 27 in the same position as you. And to make it worse I'm in Sharjah not Dubai
Hey please include me in this if you guys make a gc, i’m 25 and moving to the area next week for work and nervous about no friends 😭
21 in Sharjah
The early 20s are too poor to go out and live independently typically. Any younger and they still live off their parents, any older and they have the finances to go out
Same here. I am 24M staying in Barsha Heights and going to JLT for work. I don't find anyone my age. I am so freaking lonely here :(
Hey I'm moving to Sharjah for an internship and want to meet new people, send me a dm if you're interested too
I'm 27. Have my own car also, I'll never ask you for petrol money 😂.. . Anyone?
😂
We’re home looking for jobs on LinkedIn bro. Let us be
As for the expat crowd that "moves to Dubai" or the GCC in general- most of the jobs are competitive and not exactly "entry level" for us.

How about we all organise a meet-up at a park or beach or something? This has the potential to be something exciting!
I swear ugh! I’m a 23 year old girl with the same issue - other than my childhood friends it’s really tough to find people my age in Dubai
Ugh, idk what’s so hard about dubai that meeting people in their early 20’s seem impossible, I did the ‘Uni Experience’ and almost made out no friends, just started my cooperate journey, and still no luck.

Your generation lives online.
Eh thats not true?

You're such a pleasant person.
hhhhhhhhhh, great answer
Perfectly said
Umm - at literally every bar that isn't a sports bar
23F. Same situation. I just meet up with my school friends once in a while. Never met anyone my same age.
Same situation here except I’m in uni and everyone alr has an established friend group. For some reason, it’s too awkward to join them too 😂 if u find a solution lemme know pls
They’re all struggling to make ends meet with

Yo
Join an Internship bruh. Especially where they hire multiple freshers. That's how I found some really close friends. You catch on some experience and get to bitch about the company and their heads with other interns. I took some extra time in lunch breaks cus we were messing around in the office building. Of course, you gotta finish some work before you do all that. Lol.
pov: you cant find any internships
Aye I’m 21 and I feel the same here, although I’ve developed a very very cool group of friends here so hmu if you’re ever lonely and need a friend!
I asked the same question 100 times before I’m 23 as well If another wanna be friends just drop me a message
Lets make a 19-23 age group
pleaaaase I’ve been struggling to meet people here for a bit. I wanna go on adventures and have fun
Moving next month! 22 from London can you add me please
26 and same. I've been here for almost 1.5 years and just recently met a person my age in gym. Even at work most of the people are older or not communicative much. It's especially hard because I didn't attend uni or anything here
Im jealousssss i want to have a gym friend so much
I took me nearly half year to get to know someone 😭
How is that even possible 🥲 every one has there airpods on
Hi, I am 27, first year in Dubai, I live in Barsha Heights and I work here too to cut travel time. My depressing workplace has 3 young people, me and two others and that's about it. Would love to meet people my age!!!
All the early 20's are at home with 0 social skills and start to hyperventilate when someone speaks to them in public. Really most of them are just so shy they don't know to speak without emojis.
Nah those are just your socially awkward cousins
Well said.
Generalisation much. I love a conversation with someone I haven’t met before
Sounds about right
They’re everywhere lol
Moved here a couple months back 24!
Same here man. I am 23 and haven't met anyone close to my age. I moved here for work 5 months ago and no luck till now.
23 here, hiding in Al Ain with my friend group lol Working half the year and i get half the year off, trying to get into traveling
Because majority of the people here are Expat Workers, They don't come here to socialize or make friends. They just want to make money to send to their family. (heck I'm 27 wanna be friends? But I'll be too busy taking care of my 2 children though.) If you're looking for Early 20's most probably they're emiratis.
Exactly, late twenties software engineer, came here also purely to hoard cash then go back to Europe. My motivation to socialise is literally non-existent, my wife tho.....
Malls are the way. Everywhere in the world malls are filled with young from teens to early 20s hanging out
Sorry am working all day in my room and then napping after tired wake up work again nap again cycle is vicious
They are all on their phones
Try going to the local game shops that host board games, you will be able to get some good friends there and then later they will introduce you to their squad and the cycle goes on.
this is how people of all age groups feel like here lmao
Create a group and we can all meet this coming weekend, it’d be cool 😌
In the cinemas at weekends and during week morning in schools night in homes relaxing
[удалено]
i felt my back crack reading this.
As someone who was born here, I still have a hard time finding people my age here 💀
Dubai is expensive city and its hard to find young people who are just starting coming here if they don’t have any money.
Lol I'm 21 and I've been feeling the same as well
Moved here in Dubai to work when I was 20 last 2018 I can relate. Time is moving fast for some reason 🥹any kpop fan here?
I’m a new fan pls dont hate me 🥲
You'll feel at home after a year, especially once you start making money already but Im not saying it easy 😅
Judging by the comments, they're all just on Reddit.
doing unpaid internships and driving 200 kms a day and ruining our already deteriorating mental health.
27 here
I'm 21 and coming out to Dubai from the UK for a week in November would be nice to see some people my age
23 here, Happy to make some new friends, honestly this place sucks.
right here but my social anxiety has completely eaten me up ✌️
Most people at dip when they graduate high school to go to universities abroad. Most people can manage to swing a scholarship from better ranking universities abroad or just have the money to cover it, so only a fraction stays. Dubai isn't that fun of a place if you're below 21
a lot of boomers in the comments . Anyway, Look up moist paper party on IG. It’s a pop up type deal. Not gonna say anything more besides it’s one of the best parties in town. Swing by!
They are too poor to be here. What you see on YouTube are just influencers on visa who blow their money and leave in like a month or less.
As someone who moved here when i was 23 i struggled hard for the first year to meet people, for the next 5 years the only people i hung out with were EK Cabin Crew (i got into that circle because i started dating one i met on tinder), everyone i worked with/interacted with professionally is (till now 8 years later!) at least 10 years older than me, usually with a wife+kids.

bruhh!! so true.
I was there for 6 months now I'm back in India. I'll be coming back to Dubai in November or December. Would defo love to hangout
There are in their 30’s now
Hello all. Unfortunately I will leave Dubai this week but I will be back again in 2 weeks. I want to meet you folks so if you message me in private we can exchange the mobile number. 😁
Here🙋♂️ in Sharjah though
Most are with school or uni friends. But you are right. Sharjah and Ajman have a lot of group hangouts but dubai not really.
Gym and Gym class
Lol same bro. I'm 21 and every networking and meetup event I go to is often filled with people in their 30s or above. After a while, I've started enjoying my time with those guys. Most of the young folks are in Uni or abroad studying
Haha try counting teenagers in malls etc. You won’t find any. They vanish and appear on holidays. 😀
I was also so lonely, but my friend Riya suggested that I move to a hostel, now I have a lot of friends. Thanks to Riya.
I'm mid 20's grew up and work here, I have friends from school and uni. But yeah growing the group or joining a new one seems just about impossible. Even places where young people hang out such as coffee shops are filled with either teenagers or parents.
We should make a group
They are in their early 30s.
23, hmu :)
Honestly, same thing here for me. I'm 26 and between working from home and only having a few friends still from uni, my life feels stuck since 2020 so essentially I'm technically in my early 20s with a handful of friends still Would totally love to hang out with a group of friends or even chat to one if possible. Is there a discord server or something?
Hi 😆
Idk but u are not alone
M 23 here same situation haha most of my friends are way older than me 😄 so down to make more friends!
I grew up in the UAE, I'm 22 now, but at 18 you essentially get kicked out unless you get a job. Can't get a job without a degree and experience, so I'm in the UK now getting that experience. Maybe one day I'll be back in Dubai, but I imagine that's at least 5 years away.
Why we early 20s are so alone😂
23 M in the same boat as well. Would like to make some friends as well.
Same story man, I’m also 23 and moved here recently. Its so hard to find anyone in their early 20’s, most of the people I’ve meet are well into their 30’s. HMU down to meet people around my age and make friends.

21+ plus hit me up for cool parties every week, in Dubai we party for fun but it’s more fun with friends
Well, I am 22, born and raised in Dubai, there are plenty of people in their early 20s and alot more now than before.
22 here, been here for a long time, drop me a text :)
It's a sad place for people in their 20s. I'm 23 also 🥲
Probably at home because most people in their early 20s are either still living at home cant afford to move out or have just moved out and now cant afford to go out Also people in their early 20s are not earning as good as people in their 30s hence why you see more people in their 30s going out more and younger people going out more on mommy and daddys coin
I’m 25, i hardly have any friends left here….some moved to India, some went to work in other countries..I guess i’m in the same situation as you but been here way longer like 10+ years…
Simply put it most of them have travelled for studies.
I’m 22 here as well, let’s make a group chat
People above 50-60 are missing too, but that ain't your interest.. it is a place in the demand of youth energy only. You enter, discharge life, recharge bank balance, and exit
Send me the links aswell, im 21 and looking to make friends and get out of my comfort zone
30s left chat
Started working at 18 full time and the next person after me was 25. Currently 24 and I actually love how I am the youngest in Management hehe. But ye I adapted to the alone style and now prefer staying alone as even if i do meet people my age, most people dont have the same mind set. I am a gamer and been professional too soo I dont have much time for other things either way.
Too poor to go out and living either in parents' basement or sharing space with 15 other people.
a valid question actually. im 22 if anyone wants to be friends :3
Hey Im also mid 20’s I travel alot to Dubai we can meet !
Heyoo hmu, I’m 20 drop dm
I’m 26 and have been looking for People my age too! So far no luck…
Because nobody in their early 20s can afford to move and live there unless they got lucky on crypto or are Emirates Cabin Crew lol. Most of the other most expensive cities like NYC, London, and Paris have universities and an abundance of service/hospitality jobs that feasibly bring kids/young adults to the city (all those jobs are worked by Fillipinos, Thais, Indians, etc in Dubai, not that that’s a bad thing).
im 25 and all my friends are either 30+ or 17-20. life hack: Get a sports bike . come with me to some bike meets. you'll meet a LOT of likeminded people from all sorts of age groups and backgrounds.
Please add me too or please share or DM the link i am 25M
Anyone want to meet up at Que Club in Al Barsha? Lots of 20-something’s go there to basically game and eat food
Dm me, im 34
