Welcome to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE. This thriving city offers a multicultural environment, a strong job market, iconic landmarks, and a vibrant leisure scene. With its blend of tradition and modernity, Abu Dhabi promises a safe and enriching experience for both residents and visitors.

The cost of living in Abu Dhabi is generally considered to be high. Accommodation, particularly in popular areas, can be quite expensive, while other factors such as transportation, dining out, and entertainment also contribute to the overall cost.

Abu dhabi is a very nice place. For those who wants a better job I recommend my city. There is so many place here you can stay. Many affordable and convenient rooms for rent. The people here was nice and friendly and there’s so many groceries and supermarkets and no traffic.

Of course, Abu Dhabi is a melting pot for lots of different nationalities. you will never feel yourself out of place or “the odd one”. But if you do, please read your papers and contracts carefully, as there are a lot of rules and casual laws which are not set in stone, but rather are a subject of discussion every time they arise. I would also recommend to have quite a time on your hands, as all official documents take quite a bit of time to be prepared.

I’m always happy to share my experiences of living in Abu Dhabi, I feel qualified to share what I know about coming to Abu Dhabi for people moving.

This will probably be shocking at first. Although weekends in a lot of countries in the world take place on Saturday and Sunday, this is not the case in the UAE. The working week starts on Sunday and weekends are on Friday and Saturday.

Those moving to Abu Dhabi have probably already heard how hot the city is. However, people can’t understand just HOW hot it really is until they move to this Emirate. With summer temperatures often hitting the high 40 degree Celsius.

With all this being said, it’s vital to know life in Abu Dhabi will never include a boring day. Whether hustling around the city trying to get things done, meeting people from all over the globe or desperately trying to be cautious not to break any rules life in Dubai means a new adventure daily.
