Marhaba! I would like to join the ME Discussion Group please

I am excited about this opportunity to increase my understanding of the MENA region. I consider myself an amateur Arabist as I studied MSA and Egyptian dialect for 3 years at UW-Madison and I have always had an insatiable interest in affairs, languages, and cultures of the region. I am an active member of the Middle East Institute and DC Arabic Language and Culture Club. My current work as a Global Media Analyst at The Rendon Group keeps me up-to-date on the latest news and trends in the MENA region. I would like to join the ME Discussion Group because I believe I will benefit greatly from meeting/talking with peers and professionals with a focus on the region. Also, I believe I can contribute some insights/information to discussions.

Thanks for your considering my request!

Dubai

Is anyone here based in Dubai. I am thinking about re-locating and would love some feedback from people who are there or have lived there in the past.
