Welcome to Dubai, city of merchants, cultural crossroads, second largest of the seven emirates in the UAE. A country where the dust of the desert is clearing to reveal the potential for one of the most significant international cities of the 21st century.

Wedged between Europe and Asia, buttressed by Africa, Dubai's encouraging tax regimes, state-of-the-art telecommunications and sympathetic business environment have produced a country that is building energetically on the advantages which location, centuries-old trading savvy and oil wealth have given it.

Today, Dubai is easily the fastest growing city in the world. With less than 20% of the population of Dubai being national Arabs, it is unquestionably the Expat Capital of the World! And, yes, the influx continues. At the pace that this city is growing, there's a constant wave of expats arriving every day.

No matter where you're from – UK, Canada, the US, India, Pakistan, Lebanon, South Africa or China just to name a few of the larger groups here – you'll always be welcome.
