Top Tips

01 Dubai might look like a Western country but it is still a Middle Eastern country. Make sure you know the rules and stay on the right side of the law.
02 While Dubai is unbelievably hot in the summer, the weather in winter is wonderful. Make the most of it by investigating the many outdoor activities.
03 Choose an area to live and a school for your children which is close to work location. This will save the whole family a lot of commuting time.
04 When you first arrive, there will be a lot of bureaucracy to deal with. Make sure you have a good supply of passport photocopies and lots of patience.
05 With the high turnover of expatriates, people are very welcoming and extremely helpful in practical matters as well as in helping you settle in.
