Life in UAE
UAE is a federal monarchy of seven emirates, namely, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain, and Ras Al Khaimah.
Each of these emirates is strictly governed by its own rules, which also includes the acceptable dress codes.
Dubai is the most liberal city in the United Arab Emirates.
It is also the largest, most developed and the most tourist-friendly of the seven emirates.
The standard of living in this country is very high as the UAE is a very rich economy.
Except for Dubai, the rest of the cities in UAE follow a more traditional lifestyle and have certain rules and regulations that might seem a little ancient to the rest of the world. Sports, including cricket, football, golf, formula 1 and camel racing, are a major part of their culture. The roads in UAE are filled with luxury cars and the people wear a lot of gold.
Economy of UAE
The UAE is indeed tax-free for individuals and is one of the wealthiest nations in the region, largely due to its oil, gas, tourism, and finance sectors. However, it is not the second-largest economy globally but ranks among the top economies in the Arab world.
The annual budget of the country comprises of a certain percentage of the revenues of each of the seven emirates.
The economy of this country is based largely on oil and petroleum products.
Tourism is also a factor that contributes to the economy of UAE, specifically Dubai, as this city is ranked as the 5th most popular tourist destination in the world.
Real Estate in UAE
Real estate in Abu Dhabi is expensive. When renting an apartment or villa in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, you can be sure to expect an updated home with all the modern amenities. It is better to live in an area which is mostly occupied by foreign residents as these locations are transformed according to the comfort of expats. These homes are closers to international schools, supermarkets, and shopping malls. Foreign nationals can buy property in designated areas within the UAE. Dubai and Abu Dhabi have specific zones where expats can purchase real estate, which may also grant them residency rights.

““Writer Relocations’ service was exceptional from the beginning. We started communicating for the clearance of goods in Mumbai. very timely communication and showed up right when they said they would, and worked hard, never slowing down. Writer Relocations came on time and did their job. They were fast, friendly, and very careful with our items while unpacking the stuff. I give my thanks to Writer Relocations for their wonderful support and timely operations. Thanks for everything and I wish good luck for Writer Relocations’ future…I will definitely use them next time I move. I would rate the overall experience with Writer Relocations as a 4.6 out of 5 based on the service that they have provided to me for clearing the material in India. All in all, a great experience.””
