The UAE is one of the top 20 countries where expats prefer to live
A survey highlighted that the UAE is one of the 20 most suitable countries for expatriates in 2021 because of its high quality of life and an easy-to-settling environment.
According to InterNations Expat Insider survey, this Gulf country with approximately 8 million foreigners ranks 18th among the 20 countries popular with foreigners.
Two-thirds of expats are comfortable with the local culture, and 69 percent described it as easy to immerse themselves in. Moreover, the UAE scores big on security with nearly 95 percent saying they feel safe here.
Coronavirus has hit the world hard, and a quarter of expats say they have felt the impact of the pandemic on their work, versus 15 percent globally.
But most expats (83 percent) are satisfied with the official communication around COVID-19, and the related regulations designed to keep us all safe.
Overall, Taiwan came out on top as the best place for expats to live, followed by Mexico, Costa Rica, Malaysia and Portugal.
UAE was the third-best expat country in the GCC, followed by Oman (24th overall), Saudi Arabia (42nd overall) and Kuwait (59th overall).
Bahrain took the top spot for the GCC (12th overall), followed by Qatar (17th overall).
A melting pot for various cuisines, good weather through the year (which is best taken advantage of at one of these infinity pools), and lots of family-friendly activities make it an excellent place to work.
A major factor in the ease of life is the convenience of living without speaking the local language-the UAE ranks first in this category, with 93% of respondents saying that they can live without knowledge of Arabic language.
