Living in Dubai is like living in a vibrant and happening place

When one settles in Dubai, they experience a global city with an international workforce. Sharing its main geographical features with the neighboring emirates of Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, Dubai has a hot climate with little rainfall throughout the year but high humidity on the coast. In summer, temperatures may soar up to 45°C. Foreigners moving to Dubai may be overwhelmed by its landscape: the desert. As opposed to Abu Dhabi, Dubai has no natural oases or bodies of water. However, the city has a natural inlet or creek dividing it into a western and an eastern part (Deira).

Entering the emirate on a visit visa is no problem if one is traveling to Dubai as a citizen of one of the forty-six countries eligible to receive a visit visa upon arrival. Nationals from other states need to find a UAE citizen or resident who will sponsor them. The same is the case for expats moving to Dubai for work. Employment visas can be arranged with the help of employer.

Dubai is beaming with people from multiple nations and myriad backgrounds, making it a cultural melting pot.  In fact, one doesn’t have to go further than Dubai to see and learn so much more about the world.  Living in Dubai is like living in a vibrant city, as the emirate is full of options for fun, activities, events, services and facilities etc.  There is always something new to do, try, taste, see, encounter or experience. The quality, luxury and attention to detail in Dubai makes it a comfortable place to live, work and explore. Living in a climate like Dubai’s allows people to enjoy an outdoor-centric lifestyle for the majority of the year.

A growing trend towards diversification of accommodation offerings for tourists in Dubai is booming the hotel apartment sector in Dubai.  There are about twenty five thousand rooms from hotel apartments as of 2014. Also known as serviced apartments, these attract guests often accompanied by large families looking for medium to long-term stays. The average length of stay at hotel apartments is generally 5-6 days. They are flexible and more resilient to downturns, as they can easily shift their strategy from a hotel-like strategy targeting short-stay tourists to a residential-like strategy targeting long-stay guests. Even as bigger developers enter the segment, hotel apartments Dubai are still dominated by local operators with limited internationally branded stock. Dubai’s serviced apartment segment has 62 operators, excluding those who own and directly operate the properties. A majority of the serviced apartments are unbranded.
