What language is required in the UAE

The official language of the UAE is Arabic, but English is widely used as a second language. In Dubai and other major cities, especially in tourist areas and business centers, English is the primary means of communication for most expats, tourists and locals in the service industry. In stores, restaurants, hotels and transportation, staff generally have a good command of English, making communication convenient for international visitors. It is also common to find people speaking Hindi, Urdu and other languages common among expats.

What is the climate like in the UAE

The UAE has a tropical desert climate characterized by very hot summers and mild winters. The summer months, from June to September, are particularly hot, with daytime temperatures reaching 40-50°C. At this time of year, the air is dry and dusty, and humidity in coastal cities such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi can be quite high, making the heat more noticeable. In winter, from November to March, temperatures are more comfortable, usually ranging between 20-30°C, making this period ideal for tourism and walking. Evenings in winter can be chilly, especially in desert areas.

What are the taxes in the UAE for individuals?

There is no personal income tax in the UAE, making it an attractive country for expats to work and live in. Due to the lack of income tax, employees can receive their income in full, which greatly increases their purchasing power. However, since 2018, the UAE has introduced a VAT (value added tax) of 5%, which applies to most goods and services. This still remains one of the lowest tax rates in the world, which keeps the UAE attractive for business and living.
