Dubai And Abu Dhabi Have Made It On A Ranking Of Cities That Are The Most Expensive For Expats To Live In

Dubai and Abu Dhabi are among the world’s most expensive cities for expats to live in, in 2022.

ECA International, a market research company, conducted a study to help companies calculate their cost-of-living allowances for employees on international assignments.

In the study that ranked 207 cities in 120 different countries, Hong Kong came in first as the world’s most expensive city for expats in 2022, with New York and Geneva coming in second and third, while London and Tokyo came in at fourth and fifth.

Abu Dhabi and Dubai did not make it to the top 10 of this list

Phew! Just goes to show that not only do residents of both Emirates get to live in an abundant environment, but it’s not as expensive as other cities in the world for expats to live in.
