Looking for an Indian WhatsApp group in Dubai?

Stop hunting for WhatsApp invite links in old forwards. These are local groups for Indians & expats in Dubai — cricket, food, new parents, languages, jobs — with the same easy chat, but moderated, open only to people who live nearby, and without showing your phone number to anyone.

Everyone in the United Arab Emirates is also in Expats in the United Arab Emirates, the country’s group.

Questions

Is there an Indian WhatsApp group in Dubai?

Not yet on Namaste Community. You can start the first group in Dubai in the free app, and people nearby will find it here.

Why not just a WhatsApp group?

Invite links get forwarded far beyond the people they were meant for, and every member sees your phone number. Here each group is limited to the people it is for — those living within a set distance of its town for a local group — it is moderated, and your number is never shown to other members.

How do I join?

Open a group below, then join it in the Namaste Community app — it is free.

Can I start my own group in Dubai?

Yes. In the app, start a group for your town, language or interest; it is reviewed before it appears. Starting a group needs a verified phone number, which stays private.
