Along - Make new friends

Make a friend through a shared activity. Browse real plans across the UAE, coffee, walks, sport and more. Not dating. Not a feed. Just show up.

Along helps adults across the UAE make platonic friends through shared real-world activities, not dating, not networking, not another endless scroll.

Whether you just landed in Dubai, work remotely or want company closer to home, Along gives you a reason to show up: real plans with a time, place, and activity.

DISCOVER REAL PLANS Browse coffee outings, walks, sports, museums and more across all seven UAE emirates. Filter by date, category, cost, and indoor/outdoor. See plans on a list or map—no account required to browse.

POST OR JOIN Hosts post activities with clear details: when, where, who can apply, and how many people. Applicants request to join; hosts review and accept a small group. Chat opens after acceptance so you coordinate with context, not cold DMs.

BUILT FOR REAL MEETUPS • Platonic by design—friendship through activities, not romance • Host-controlled acceptance keeps groups small and comfortable • Meetup confirmation and ratings for accountability • Report and block tools for safety • Bookmarks to save plans you are considering

FOR THE UAE Along is curated for expats, remote workers, and locals rebuilding their social circle. English-first, city-native, and designed around how friendships actually start here.
