Do I come on my own?
Almost everyone does, and that is the whole point. You are not walking into a group of friends who already know each other. Everyone at the table booked alone, for the same reason you did.
What does the booking fee cover?
Your seat, the group, and the work of putting the table together. The amount is shown on every experience page. Food and drinks are not included and are paid on the spot: at the café for a coffee meetup, at the restaurant for a dinner.
So what will the evening actually cost me?
Every date shows what people usually spend on site before you book, so there is no surprise when the bill arrives. You order what you feel like and settle your own bill. Nothing is decided for you.
Where exactly does it happen?
You see the neighbourhood before you book, Business Bay, Downtown or Marina, so you know whether it works for you. The exact address and practical details reach you privately on WhatsApp and by email before the experience.
Is my booking confirmed?
Yes. Once your payment is complete, your seat is booked for the date you selected. We will send the final practical details privately before the experience.
What if WorldXpat exceptionally cancels?
You get your money back in full, or you move it to the next date free. Your choice, never ours.
Can I cancel?
Yes, free of charge up to 48 hours before the start time, with a full refund. Closer than that, you can still pass your seat to a friend or move it once to the next available date.
Can I change my date?
Yes. Your confirmation email contains a personal link: from there you move your seat, pass it on, or cancel. No email to write, no waiting for an answer.
Who will be at the table?
People who moved to Dubai and are building a circle here, like you. Coffee meetups run with 5 to 6 people; dinners with 5 to 8. Both stay small enough for one shared conversation.
I do not know anyone and I am not great with strangers.
That is the most common reason people book. Nobody arrives knowing anybody, and the small-table format makes it easier for conversation to start naturally. By the end, the room usually feels much less like strangers.
Does my English need to be good?
No. Everyone around the table is speaking a second or third language too. Nobody is judging your accent.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes. Each reservation is for one person, so your friend should make their own booking for the same date. Coming alone is completely normal too.
Is there an age limit?
Most WorldXpat experiences are 18+, but some partner venues have stricter rules. The Quiz Night Meetup is strictly 21+, as shown before booking.
How do I pay, and is it secure?
By card, in AED, through Stripe. Your card details never touch this site. They go straight to Stripe, which handles the payment. Prices are always in dirhams, never converted.
Still not sure?
Your seat is booked immediately after payment, and you can cancel free up to 48 hours before. If WorldXpat exceptionally cancels, you receive a full refund.
