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. |
