When moving to a new area, there are a few things to take into consideration:
Where to live, where to shop, where to eat and where to make the most friends.
I’ve found that Abu Dhabi Week magazine (a free weekly publication distributed all over the city, especially in big malls) and Time Out Abu Dhabi (purchasable at grocery stores and book stores) are great resources for entertainment, dining, real estate and interesting articles.
Look into groups and meet-ups for like-minded people as well as people who will stretch your mind.
Welcome to Abu Dhabi!
Aloha,
Denise
