Meet & Dine

Choose your date

New dates will be announced soon.

Your seat is booked immediately after payment. Final details are sent directly to you before the meetup.

The experience

Meet & Dine brings together six people who moved to Dubai and want an opportunity to meet others outside the usual work and app routine.

You arrive solo and share one table with five new people. The setting makes it easier to start conversations, without awkward networking or pressure.

The 39 AED covers your seat and the experience at the table. Food and drinks are ordered and paid directly at the restaurant.

There is no WorldXpat host at the table. WorldXpat forms the group and reserves the restaurant; the dinner itself develops naturally.

Your table, thoughtfully balanced

A better opportunity to connect.

Before your first booking, answer five quick questions about your goals, personality and interests. Your answers help WorldXpat create a more balanced small group, so everyone has time to talk and a better opportunity to connect.
