Hello everyone!
I've created a Local Guides Community for Dubai on Google +. The link is https://plus.google.com/communities/101966531489634888158
Please feel very welcome to join!
Personally I am very interested in new hotels and restaurants, but any updates are welcome and when we gain a certain critical mass I wil arrange a meet up 🙂
Best,
Caroline

Hi @CarolineR. Welcome to Local Guides Connect community forum. You can introduce yourself on this post Introduce Yourself - April 2017. I noticed you just joined the Connect forums so I will leave you some tips. Also, good luck with the community you started from Dubai, I hope you get to receive support soon, keep it up!
Here are some tips for you to get started:

Being a Local Guide is not just about helping people online. It’s about getting out there and exploring the world around you. If there’s something that you’re passionate about, share it with Local Guides.
Local Guides who are level 2 and above are encouraged to organise their own meet-up events. Find out more about hosting a meet-up and check out our meet-up resources and ideas on Local Guides Connect.
Google will not provide funding, collateral or other types of incentives for these events. Meet-ups can be low cost or even free – simply grab your phone and explore your city on foot.
You must be signed up for Local Guides Connect in order to submit a meet-up. If your meet-up is approved, a post in Local Guides Connect will be automatically generated so that you can share updates with attendees.
We will review your meet-up within one week, so we encourage you to submit your meet-up as early as possible. We will notify you when your meet-up has been approved or if it's rejected. If it's approved, we will add it to the list of upcoming meet-ups. Note that we may edit your meet-up description before publishing it. If rejected, we will let you know why and you will be able to submit a new meet-up for us to review.
We approve meet-ups that involve bringing a community of Local Guides together. We reject meet-ups that are unrelated to Local Guides.
For now you will not be able to make changes to your meet-up once it’s been submitted. We recommend posting any updates to the Local Guides Connect post that will be auto-generated after your meet-up has been approved.
You can cancel your meet-up by visiting your event page and clicking the “Cancel my meet-up” button.
After your meet-up is approved, we will send you a link to an auto-generated post on Local Guides Connect where you and your meet-up attendees can get in touch.
If it's approved, we will add it to the list of upcoming meet-ups. We may also feature certain meet-ups on our social media channels (Google+, Facebook, Twitter) and in our newsletter. We also encourage you to promote your meet-up via your own social media channels and in your local community using #LocalGuides.
After your meet-up, thank your attendees for joining. Create a Google Photos album and share it with attendees so they can add their own photos.
We’d love to hear about your meet-up. Share your recap with us.
You may use other event platforms to create your meet-up, but we will only promote and share meet-ups that have been created on our meet-up platform.
The Local Guides logo is a Google brand identity and is reserved for official use only. Do not use the Local Guides logo, pin or any other Google imagery in your meet-up materials.

Hi Caroline,
Certainly, i will be able to give more insights for new restaurants and hotels in Dubai.
Me and my friend do checkout these venues twice in a month atleast. There are many new properties in town and much checkout!
Please do update when meet-ups are arranged. We will catchup some day.
Happy Mapping
