Moving to Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates, and is located around 90 minutes’ drive from Dubai. Expats are starting to prefer to move to Abu Dhabi as Dubai’s glittering star becomes clouded with construction dust and economic woes.
Until the 1950s, Abu Dhabi was a small fishing village on an unassuming patch of coastline. Then came the discovery of immense oil reserves and with a wholesale transformation into one of the world’s most affluent and modern cities, attracting capital and expats from around the globe.

Oil-rich Abu Dhabi shines with its relatively strong economy, abundant work opportunities and a city that offers a high-quality lifestyle, vibrant culture and attractive surrounds.
Abu Dhabi is popular with expat families due to the good schools and opportunities for outdoor recreation. And with much of its traditional Bedouin culture intact alongside its oil wealth, Abu Dhabi also offers an enriching cultural experience, as well as a financially rewarding one.
