Living in Dubai

Dubai is a very modern city, and has undergone intense changes in the last couple of decades. Starting as a key business hub in the oil industry, Dubai has taken advantage of the rise in oil prices to expand its economy.

Those who move to Dubai will find the city extremely working, and much more diverse than initially expected. There is a thriving expat community based in Dubai, with whom you can integrate with and learn more about the culture there. 

The city has two distinct seasons, summer and winter. Summer begins in the final week of April and ends around the first week of October. The summer months are typically characterized by very hot weather, winds and high humidity. Sitting within close proximity to the sea, Dubai is slightly milder than other Gulf cities in the UAE.

Moving to Dubai

Whether you are moving from the UK, or another country, simply arrange a free home survey with one of our International moving consultants to discuss your move to Dubai. You may only be taking a few items, the entire contents of your home or just have certain possessions that will need extra protection during transport. All of these factors can be checked by the consultant and discussed in further detail. Our experienced, international removals team can also advise you on our secure storage services, shipping insurance options, customs advice or transferring your money to Dirham (AED).
