Dubai For Indians


 Indians in Dubai.
Dubai Holiday is Favorite International Holiday Destination of Indians, but Indian came  here to work in  UAE oilfield as a migrant labor And settled here.

Getting a driving license in Dubai is expensive and takes time.

3.      Savings – Savings is the most important part. Your savings depend on various factors. The salaries that we get here are tax-free in UAE and India; when remitted to India. Recently Dubai Imposed a 5% VAT, though. People here earn a decent salary but they still live paycheck to paycheck or they live on loan/ credit cards owing to their extravagant lifestyle. Some people who save 75–80 % of their salaries and have got decent investments back in India.

4.      Social Life – There are a lot of people of all states, caste, and Religion of India.  so you will have at least one Bengali, Malayali, Punjabi in your friend circle and you will have a mixed group of friends here and celebrate all the Indian Festivals together. Your friend circle also comprises people from Pakistan and the Philippines.

5.      Law and Order - Jugaad (hack) does not work, here when it comes to getting your work done in government offices, banks, etc. People respect and Obey the law and there is very little Chance Of Crime being committed. You need to be a bit cautious when you rent/buy properties, but all in all, Dubai is a safe place to live.

Right Local Transportation in Dubai:   
Like any other major city, Dubai is Infested with Many Problems; Traffic is one of them.

Dubai currency is called “Dirham” or AED for Arab Emirate Dirham. You can see it abbreviated ads Dhs or DH. The dollar bill denominations conveniently Displayed in Arabic on one side and English on the other side. There are coins as well. The current conversion is 1 Dirham equals Rs18.

In terms of credit cards, most places only take Mastercard or Visa cards.
Language Spoken in Dubai:
Most people were fluent in English. Hindi and Arabic and the street signs, menus, basically all the signage was in both Arabic and English. This made it very easy to navigate. You can live in Dubai by knowing Hindi Only.
