So let’s see if we can figure out some reasons why one should move to Dubai?

It’s the place to be! The world is watching Dubai! The amazing progress and developments have made it the envy of the region and showcase to the world of what’s possible with vision and intelligent use of resources.

Great companies and great jobs: Dubai is now home to the whole gamut of corporations and companies who’ve scrambled to set up base here and get a slice of the economic pie. And they need talent.
No Personal Income Tax: What more can be said? No TAX!

Cultural diversity: Over 80% of the people living in Dubai are from other countries - you are guaranteed to find at least one person from the same city you come from…if not the same block! Really enjoyable if you’re scared to mix and learn.

Great minds and great people: The best come to Dubai to be part of the show. You can learn from these great people and grow, have fun and compete!

Hotels & Restaurants: Home to the best hotels and restaurants, some at the top of their game the world over. And plenty more to come.

Sports, Leisure, Beaches & Fun: Great beaches, sports options, adventure and entertainment…from movies to cultural shows to group activities.

Shopping: Depends on where you come from and what you’re looking for, but still a great place to shop!

Accessibility: Dubai’s central location makes it very accessible from Asia and Europe, plus the rest of the Middle East.

Infrastructure: Very decent and usable, constantly being improved to meet the growth and demand.

Security: A very safe place to live in terms of personal security. Low crime rate.

Political Stability: Very stable politically! Economic growth and political ties encouraging.

Repatriation of Earnings: Earn and send back your money back home.
A chance to shape the future: The need for talent and the extent of development actually means that you get to play a significant role in shaping the future in your niche or role, compared to working in boring saturated markets where everything has been done and the rules are already defined.

Learn a new language! Learn some Arabic

Tolerance: All religions and beliefs tolerated - no condemnation and violence stemming from tolerance issues.

Weather: Great weather most of the year! Summer can be a pain but then everything is climate-controlled indoors.

Family Friendly: A great place to raise a family.

Education: Superb academic institutions and universities already in Dubai, with more coming in every year.

Business & Investment Opportunities: Take a part in the development / Investment opportunities and partner locally or start your dream business on your own in the free zones.

This has got to be, by far, the longest post I’ve ever written, but I hope anyone reading this will get a better picture of what Dubai actually is like. One thing is for sure… you’ve got to clearly indentify WHY you want to move here and what your priorities in life are. No place is perfect - it’s only your perspective and attitude that make a place what it is. What do YOU think? Write to us at mail@jetsetdubai.com
