What the channel is about
Moving here
Visas, paperwork, renting a flat and everything else you deal with in the first few months.
Neighborhoods and costs
How the areas differ, what housing costs and how much living here actually takes.
Daily life
Transport, healthcare, mobile, banks, schools — how it all works in practice.
Places
Where to go, where to eat and what to see beyond the tourist trail.
Who it is for
- People thinking about moving who want to know what to expect.
- People who have already moved and are working out the practicalities.
- People who are simply curious about how this city lives.
About the author
A few words about yourself here: who you are, how long you have lived in Dubai and why you run the channel. Two or three sentences in the first person are enough.
This is a personal channel. I do not sell anything, offer any services or take advertising — these are just notes about living here.
New notes go out a few times a week.
