Further Advice on Living and Moving to Dubai

Dubai is a modern, globally connected city that has undergone significant transformation over the past few decades. Originally established as a regional trading and business hub, it has developed into one of the world’s leading destinations for international professionals, entrepreneurs and families seeking long-term relocation.

Many people are drawn to Dubai for its professional opportunities, infrastructure and established expatriate community. Understanding why people choose to relocate to Dubai can help set realistic expectations and inform early planning decisions, particularly for those considering a permanent or extended move to the UAE.

Climate is also an important consideration when relocating internationally. Dubai has two distinct seasons, with hotter summer months typically running from late April through to early October, and milder winter conditions for the remainder of the year. These factors can influence how household belongings are prepared, packed and transported. Familiarising yourself with the customs requirements for moving to Dubai early in the process can help avoid delays and ensure shipments are handled in line with local regulations.

Careful preparation is key to a successful international relocation. Reviewing guidance on preparing for moving to the UAE will help you to plan timelines, documentation and logistics more effectively, particularly where multiple moving parts are involved. For those whose property or accommodation may not be ready upon arrival, considering international storage solutions in advance can also provide valuable flexibility within the overall relocation plan.

For those in the early stages of planning, we’ve put together a practical guide covering key considerations when relocating to Dubai. This guide is designed to support initial planning and can be read alongside a conversation with one of our international consultants.
