Farewell London, Hello Dubai, By Gamal Abdulla (In my view)


THE LAND OF opportunity, the gold at the end of the rainbow, continuous sunshine, crime-free environment, tax-free living; a few examples of the constant images we see on TV and in magazines and newspapers used to describe Dubai to lure us to this new world. But is it really all it’s cracked up to be?
Having spent the past five years of my life in one of the most famous cities in the world, London, I felt that it was time for a change. Fed up and miserable with daily life in the rat race, I was ready to take the plunge into this ‘new world’ promoted all around me. Tasked with the role of opening up a Middle East operation for the global executive jobsite, exec-appointments.com, I made the move that most people only daydream about during their hour-long tube or train commute to work.
