How many people from Jordan live in the United Arab Emirates?

According to the United Nations, 158,000 people from Jordan live in the United Arab Emirates.

Therefore United Arab Emirates ranks number 2 among the destinations of the Jordan diaspora.

In total, 639,000 people from Jordan live abroad, and about 25% of them live in the United Arab Emirates.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

Where to meet people from Jordan in the United Arab Emirates

No community for people from Jordan exists in the United Arab Emirates on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.

As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.

Compatri follows cities such as Dubaï and Abou Dabi, and each one can host its community.

Joining the Jordan community in the United Arab Emirates

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.

Jordan Independence Day in the United Arab Emirates

Every May 25, the national day brings the Jordan diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
