2. A Building Taller Than 800 Metres
It’s been over a decade that the Burj Khalifa has been completed but to this day no other building has been able to cross the 700-metre mark let alone Burj Khalifa’s 829 m. Quick Fact: Ramadan fasts last about two minutes longer on the upper floors of the Burj Khalifa.

3. Running With No Income Taxes
What you earn belongs to you and your family, individuals don’t have to pay income taxes whatsoever here or in the UAE for that matter. Maybe that’s why we’ve got people from close to 200 nationalities living here. If you’re not in Dubai, we know you’re looking up LinkedIn right now for those potential Dubai gigs.

5. Surviving A Pandemic
Yes, Dubai too was affected by the pandemic, however, what sets it apart is how it has rebounded. Let’s get down to a few businessy metrics to understand this. Hotel occupancies are nearing all-time highs, real estate transactions are at the highest yearly sales figure since 2014 and Dubai has seen close to 5 million tourists in the first 10 months of 2021 alone. Way to go, Dubai!
