Dating for Dubai Singles

Dubai is renowned worldwide for being one of the most exciting, diverse, international cities on the planet and full of opportunity.

In 2013, 85% of the entire population of the UAE consisted of expats, most of whom were living in Dubai. It’s no secret that the city can be quite transient and sometimes it can be a challenge to meet someone seeking a long-lasting, fulfilling relationship to enjoy the vibrant city with.

Here at Maclynnn (formerly Vida), we are well versed in the dating etiquette present in Dubai, and have shaped our unique ethos to the nuanced dating scene of the city, ensuring that all our clients are matched only with those with whom they share common values.

About Us

London matchmakers sitting at a table.

Founded in London in 2011 by Rachel Vida MacLynn, we have applied psychological intelligence and business expertise to developing Maclynn (formerly Vida) into a world-class introduction agency for some of the world’s most exceptional people.

Our matchmakers and consultants are predominantly based at our Head Office in London, and have undergone intensive training to deliver service of only the highest quality.

Rachel MacLynn is renowned as a world-leading matchmaking and dating expert and is widely featured in the press. Our approach is personal, professional and discreet. Our network of exceptional single men and women has been personally selected by us with the help of our consultants from across the globe.

Dubai isn’t always the easiest place to find love. For some expats, adapting to a more socially conservative dating scene can prove to be a challenge: there are cultural sensitivities which should of course be respected. This is where the expertise of our Dubai-based consultants and international matchmakers comes in.

The city is abuzz with single people, all of them hoping to meet their ideal match. Opportunities for work, creativity and amazing experiences make Dubai the perfect place to meet likeminded singletons.
