LIVING IN DUBAI

Welcome to your new home

Calling the dynamic city of Dubai your home is just one of the many benefits of joining the Emirates Group.

What to expect in Dubai

Lifestyle

Ranked as one of the safest and most desirable places to live, Dubai is also a global business and tourism hub that has something for everyone. World-class schools and healthcare. Hundreds of shopping and dining options for every budget. And an active sports and social calendar that includes events and festivals close to the hearts of the over 200 nationalities living here.

School

While you work, you won’t have to worry about your children’s education. There are schools for children of all ages and nationalities, local and expat, early years to internationally accredited universities for undergrads and postgrads. English is the main teaching language in most primary schools, and some have different curriculums from Indian to British, American, Canadian and Japanese. Bear in mind that most schools have a waiting list.

Health Care

Dubai has some of the best medical professionals, hospitals and clinics, and Emirates provides great healthcare coverage for you and your dependents. You’ll also find lots of fitness and sports clubs, water and outdoor activities if you’d like to maintain an active lifestyle.

History

Dubai traces back its history to a small but thriving fishing village along the Dubai Creek in the early eighteenth century. It soon established itself as a bustling free port and trading hub with a growing pearling industry. But the biggest change came when oil was discovered in Dubai’s Fateh oil field in 1966. Since then, it’s gone from an important trading port to world’s trade and business hub.

Exploring Dubai

Whether you’re into history, urban exploration, outdoor adventures or water sports, there’s so much to do, see and enjoy in Dubai. You’ll find cutting-edge and historic architecture side by side, nature and theme parks, the beach and desert. And the best thing about it is you can easily get around. On foot, public transport, or your own vehicle, you can quickly get to your destination and explore.

Culture

Immerse yourself in Dubai’s history, culture and traditions along the Dubai Creek. Explore the historical neighbourhood and traditional style villages with wind towers and courtyards, take a closer look at pottery and weaving by local artisans, and learn about local life at the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding. You can also pop into several museums and galleries in the area, including the Dubai Museum in the Al Fahidi Fort.
