Why living in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is an experience like no other.

The United Arab Emirates is home to a wide range of nationalities and has much to offer. It has a huge variety of exciting cultures and food.  According to the UN - United Nations more than 88% of the UAE's residents come from abroad.  According to data from embassies 120,000 people from the UK and 50,000 from the US live in the UAE. English is widely spoken, and the number of expats means that you’ll always have a community available to you if you need it,you won’t be alone. You’ll be in good company as an expat. 

According to a new report the UAE is ranked the safest place in the world. Research reveals that 96.1 percent of people feel safe walking outside at night.

The UAE is keen on promoting happiness. The country aims to become one of the five happiest countries in the world by 2021, so why not hop on board?

There's no income tax which means everything you make is yours to keep.The UAE government introduced VAT in 2018 for the first time on most goods and services, at the low rate of 5% – but that’s it. No income tax. 

The beaches and weather are amazing, the UAE is a  land of blue skies. If you love relaxing on the beach then the UAE is perfect for you.  There’s plenty of natural beauty too, including the wonderful Empty Quarter (Rub’ al Khali)-  largest continuous sand desert in the world.

Everything in the UAE is just gorgeous, from the man-made islands off the coast of Dubai to the world’s tallest tower, Burj Khalifa.

Thankfully, it’s not too difficult to move there – especially if you land a decent job like this one.
