Finding Your Mum Tribe in Dubai
One of the biggest questions I hear from mums who move to Dubai is: “Where do I meet other mums?” It’s not always easy to make friends in a new city, especially with little ones in tow. That’s why I’m so excited to share that I am now the host for Mama Hub’s Friday morning playgroups here in Dubai.
From 8:30–10:30am every Friday, you can join me and other mums at Wild Roots, a beautiful indoor play space that’s perfect for little ones 0-3 years. Once the cooler weather arrives, we’ll move back outdoors to Reform, a favourite spot for Dubai families.
Why Mama Hub is Special
Mama Hub was created by my lovely friend Rachel, who I’ve known since the very early days of running Next of Kin. We’ve cheered each other on through the highs and lows of building mum-focused businesses, recorded a podcast episode together, and even ran The Careers Club events side by side last year.
What I’ve always admired about Rachel’s vision for Mama Hub is how low-pressure and welcoming it is. There’s no need to book a full term, stress about what you’re wearing, or worry if your baby cries, it’s a come-as-you-are kind of morning.
What to Expect at Friday Playgroups
The Mama Hub playgroups are all about creating a space where both mums and little ones feel at home.
👶 For the kids: a safe space to play, explore and burn off energy.
☕ For the mums: coffee, conversation, and the chance to connect with others who get it.
💛 For everyone: a supportive community where lifelong friendships often begin.
Why I Love Hosting
As a mum myself, I know how important it is to just get out of the house, even for an hour. These Friday mornings are a little pocket of connection in the week, a place where you don’t have to explain yourself, because everyone else is in the same boat.
I’m genuinely honoured to host on behalf of Rachel and Mama Hub, and I can’t wait to welcome more mums into this wonderful community.
Come and Join Us!

If you’re new to Dubai, looking to expand your circle, or simply in need of a relaxed Friday morning plan with your toddler, I’d love to see you there.
Motherhood wasn’t meant to be done alone, and playgroups like Mama Hub prove just how powerful it is when mums come together. Whether you leave with a new friend, a fresh recommendation, or just a little breather, you’ll be so glad you came.
