Indian events in Dubai

The largest Indian community of any city outside India: Bur Dubai’s Meena Bazaar and Karama, the Hindu temple and the Guru Nanak Darbar gurdwara side by side in Jebel Ali, Diwali and garba nights across the city, Bollywood nights in the hotels, and the Malayali, Telugu, Tamil and Gujarati associations that run much of the calendar. Everything below is within 20 km of Dubai, posted by the community and checked by a moderator; in the app the same list is ranked by how far each one is from you.
