What is life like as an expat in your area?
When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...
"People (expats) work hard and play hard, live revolves around malls and shopping, socialising, attending events/concert, some major sports events are happening during the winter season, Rugby 7, Dubai Horserace, Dubai Duty Free tennis, etc," said another expat in Dubai, UAE.
"Life for expats and digital nomads in Dubai is generally quite comfortable. The city is modern and cosmopolitan, with a wide range of amenities and activities to enjoy. The cost of living is relatively high, but salaries tend to be higher than in other parts of the world, making it an attractive destination for expats and digital nomads. The city is also very safe, with a low crime rate and a strong police presence. The climate is hot and dry, but the city is well-equipped with air conditioning and other modern comforts. There is a vibrant nightlife, with plenty of bars, clubs, and restaurants to explore. The city is also home to a diverse range of cultures, making it a great place to meet people from all over the world," wrote a member who made the move to Dubai, the UAE.
