The world's most technically advanced city, Dubai has beaches, sea, vibrant nightlife and nice weather, most of the year. Summers are VERY HOT and take some getting used to. Expatriates make up nearly 90% of the population of Dubai and we enjoy a very liberal lifestyle. Dubai is close to Europe and Asia and travel is easy. Dubai has been voted the best place to live in the Middle East for several years in a row and is currently booming, population is around 11 million and expanding rapidly.
Abu Dhabi is 1 hour from Dubai, a quieter location with similar attractions, more suitable for families. Abu Dhabi residents enjoy an extremely affluent lifestyle and have less access to the services available to those in Dubai so it is a very fertile place for growing a practice.
