Statistics tell us that 80% of the people residing in the UAE are either foreigners or foreign-born, so expatriates might not really feel out of place. Although the Middle East is known to be restrictive and conservative, the same cannot be said of the UAE. Dubai, in particular, welcomes foreign cultures and beliefs as if it were theirs.
This easy accessibility means moving to the UAE should not be difficult for
expats. In fact, statistics also show that the majority of expats in the UAE originate
from western countries.
