Dubai has one of the highest standards of living in the middle-east. Residents here enjoy a tax-free income and relatively crime-free environment, and when combined with world-class schools and universities, hospitals, malls, theme parks and entertainment districts, anyone would be motivated to move or invest in this emirate. However, living in Dubai means living a fast-paced lifestyle. This is an emirate that is constantly evolving but always for the better. Thus, for people looking to work or set up business here, it can be a little overwhelming in the beginning.
