About Dubai

Have you ever seen a documentary or TV show about Dubai? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to actually live there?

A simple Google search can give you loads of ideas of all the things you can do there, but instead of copy pasting those, let me share with you what living in Dubai is like from the perspective of an expat who has found home in this city for many years now.

• Its safe! Think of all the wonderful but dangerous metropolitans around the world and remove the dangerous part. That will be Dubai. People still leave their houses with their door open. That's how safe it is!
• Its fun! Oh yeah, you just need to be around the right people to take you to all the great places - beach parties, parks for picnic on a weekend morning, clubs and bars, little areas called villages with concerts, tennis championships, exhibitions.
• Its holiday around the year! You don't need to hop a plane to travel to somewhere exotic. You just need to drive an hour or two to one of the neighbouring emirates, check into one of their resorts, go for a full day waterpark fun and enjoy.
• Its winter in the desert! Yep, in the desert, inside a mall there's a massive ski slope, little penguins to hug, hot chocolate to slurp and experience the cold season if you've had enough of the sun and beaches.
• Its cultural! Expos, food and music festivals, museums, concerts all around the year. Both Dubai and its neighbour Abu Dhabi are well known to be the hosts of concerts given by the most famous artist in the music industry.
• Its sports! Tennis, marathon, football, you name it.
• Its posh! You want a membership at some fancy fitness club? We have them. You want the comfort of your fitness club inside the office building? We have that too. You don't even want to leave your home building for some spa, fun time in the swimming pool and some work out? Yes, you can have that too. The vast majority of residential buildings in Dubai have steam room, pool and gym, and many terraces, restaurants, shops or bars around them.
• And last but not least, SUN for the whole year!

Dubai may not be your final destination, but if you get an opportunity to live and work there for a few years, grab it! Its worth it.
