Hi Ammar. Well, for me Dubai was pretty boring to be honest. It is a perfect place for a family with kids but for us, a young couple used to living in Moscow – a vibrant night-life-rich city, it was quite a challenge to get used to it! We left Dubai for Singapore a year ago.

Hi,

Thanks for the website. You have plenty of useful information about the logistics of moving there. However, what were your thoughts on the style of living there? By that, I don’t mean money-wise. I mean social life style, fun things to do, activities, etc. Now that you’ve lived there, what’s your thought on that?

Thanks,

Hi Julius! If it is paid by the company, why not? We shipped everything we had.

Hi Holly,
Indeed public affection is not allowed. Not sure if father-daughter relations are also regulated by that. Keep in mind that rules in Dubai may be very applied inconsistently. If I were you, I would try not to do such things that may be considered inappropriate.

Thank you so much for this website! Our family may be moving to Dubai. I have been reading everything I can and have some background in the Islamic culture as I grew up on an oil compound in Dhahran in the 1980s. We have three daughters, two of whom are pre-teens. My husband has always held their hands, given hugs, and kisses on the cheek. He is concerned that this might be against the law in Dubai. Do you know the extent of the law regarding public affection? Does it apply to parents and their children at a certain age?

Thank you so much!
Holly

Hi Gabrielle. Dubai definitely offers much more attractions for a teenager. It is actually the most exciting city among GCC ‘pearls’.
