Top ten reasons- why Dubai?
Top Ten Reasons to Live in Dubai.
- Year round sunshine.
Dubai has sunshine all year round, and for 8 to 9 months of the year it has a warm yet highly pleasant climate. It is typically only unbearably hot during the summer period of June through to September. This therefore gives Dubai a great year round rental potential, with tourists being attracted to Dubai at all times throughout the year. During winter months the day time temperature averages around the mid 20s and it does get a bit cooler at night. - Tax free living.
There is no Income or capital gains tax, nor is there any corporation tax. This combined with 100% ownership in free zones and freehold property developments, with strong investor incentives and protections makes Dubai a highly appealing place to buy and live. - One of the safest places in the world.
Dubai is regarded as being in the top five safest cities to live in the world. Crime levels are very low with offences against another person and theft kept to the lowest possible levels by a vigilant police force and only 1.7% of the population is currently unemployed. - Low cost property.
compared to other countries around the World, Dubai property is relatively inexpensive. Judged against house prices in the United Kingdom, Dubai property is great value, more luxurious and the facilities provided are top class. With such huge interest from local and overseas investors alike, prices look set to increase therefore making Dubai property a sound investment. - High standard of living.
Dubai offers a very good standard of living, with its great weather, safe environment, vibrant nightlife, countless leisure activities and great beaches. On offer is a lifestyle that for many that is rarely surpassed elsewhere. - Breathtaking architecture/buildings.
It hard not to be impressed by the style and sheer audacity of the ever changing Dubai landscape. From the Palm islands to the striking 7 star Burj al Arab hotel, Dubai is constantly finding new ways to amaze and exceed the limits of manmade structures. What & soon to be officially the world's tallest building, the Burj Dubai, is currently under construction in downtown Dubai. - Fantastic shopping.
Dubai has something for everyone, from the countless high end boutiques to the gold and spice souks, a variety of shopping experiences await. The World's largest shopping mall, the Dubai mall, is presently under construction, as part of the Burj Dubai development and other malls such as Mall of the Emirates, Deira City Center and Ibn Battuta are very popular shopping destinations. - Stable economy.
Dubai currency is linked to the US dollar, pegged at AED 3.67: US$. This therefore gives a strong element of stability to the country, something not often guaranteed in the Middle-East. Dubai has achieved GDP growth of 8% for the last 10 years and is currently regarded as the world's fastest developing city. - A diverse city.
Dubai is a very cosmopolitan city, with over 100 different nationalities coexisting in harmony within its borders. Over 80% of the population are expatriates, whom all bring together their differing cultures to create a vibrant and varied environment. - The best is yet to come.
Dubai is already considered one of the best places to live in the World, despite the fact that the majority of its projects and developments are yet to be completed. Upcoming projects include the likes of Dubai land, a $20 billion dollar theme park resort that will cover some 3 billion square feet, almost twice the size of Disneyland; and the Dubai water front, the largest man made development in the word, set to be several times larger than Manhattan
