The UAE on the global stage
Not only is the UAE one of the world’s most influential and safest countries, it’s also one of the best places to live – and we have the stats and accolades to back it up.
In October, Dubai was named the 12th best destination in the world, in the TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards, and was named one of the top 10 cities to visit in 2020, according to Lonely Planet.
It was also rated the sixth best city in the world in this January report (and the best city in the Middle East), and the world’s second best city for driving.
In the KnightFrank’s City Wellbeing Index, released in March, Dubai was named the best city to live in the Middle East and Africa, and placed 15th in the world.
