Thinking of shaking life up a bit? In need of a change? If so then making a move to Dubai in 2o22 is a good option. When it comes to living and working in Dubai, making the move relatively easy to set up.
That’s not to mention that as a destination, Dubai has much to offer. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Dubai. From the hot weather, to the interesting international crowd of people, to the exciting nightlife and restaurant scene. What’s not to love?
When it comes to working in Dubai, it has much to offer on that front too. From generous salaries, relocation assistance and some pretty fantastic career advancement opportunities.
I have listed the top 10 reasons why you should move to Dubai (be it short or long term) I hope it’s useful for anyone considering it! I also created a similar list specifically for the Brits, listing 10 reasons why British people should move to Dubai.

I think we can all agree it has been a shocker of a summer and for the first time since I moved back to the UK, I’m genuinely missing life in Dubai - namely the weather! I am back with a flurry of blog posts that I have not had the time or chance to put up until now....

This blogpost has been sitting in my drafts for far too long and is massively overdue. I feel like the last few months have just flown by in a bit of a blur and summer is slipping away all too quickly. I’ll keep it short and sweet for this month’s instalment, in the...

All too soon, the summer 23 chapter has come to a close. Despite a gasp of late sunshine a few weeks back, I am sure we all feel as though we didn't really get a proper summer this year. Now that autumn is upon us and with the feeling of transition into a new season,...

Another month is here and spring/summer feels like it is flying that bit too quickly methinks. I don't have anything massively profound to share in the form of a monthly reflection like I normally try to with these posts. What I will say is that blogging is starting...

Wow, is January nearly over already? 2023 has been good so far. I’ve felt a sense of peace and alignment return to me, which is perhaps a result of some of my New Year’s resolutions. The main ones were to stop agreeing to things that I don’t mean, as a form of...
Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway – the book that changed my life

It’s not long at all before we turn the page on the chapter that was 2022. Looking back on the year, it could not be more different from the year I had previously. Largely because I moved from the bedazzling Dubai back to the British countryside. I’m someone who...

ME Dubai hotel at The Opus by Zaha Hadid
Dubai is home to a collection of impossibly futuristic buildings but if there’s one that really stands out amongst the rest it's The Opus (sorry Burj Khalifa). Located in Business Bay, the unmissable structure was designed by late Iraqi-British architect legend, Dame...
