The Ten Things You Need To Know When Moving To Abu Dhabi

Every year, UAE opens its country to thousands of foreigners. It is expected of this country to be flocked by many tourists. This probably has a lot to do with its stable economy unlike other Middle Eastern countries. You won't be seeing any political unrest that can threaten any business. No wonder why many investors thrive in the country.
 
Among the many cities in the UAE, it is Abu Dhabi and Dubai that are mostly visited. In fact, they are a constant destination for both travelers and entrepreneurs visiting the country. Both Dubai and Abu Dhabi have the same wavelength when it comes to tourist attractions and the professional business industry. The latter also houses multinational and big companies whose workers are mostly foreign citizens.

Moving to Abu Dhabi would be an easy move since the work setting is just like typical workplaces however there are just a few things that you should keep in mind in this city. Here are some of them or you can click here for more information.

The religion. Compared to other cities, non-Muslims get freedom in Abu Dhabi. This is because other religions are tolerated in Abu Dhabi. Islam remains the topmost religion but you still have the freedom of your religion. According to reports, there are already a few Christian groups that have established in the city.

The clothing. Since this city is dominated by quite a conservative Muslim religion, it is advised of both men and women to dress modestly. This is to pay respect to the practices and customs of the city. 

The water. The tap water in Abu Dhabi is clean and safe to use for cooking however it is still recommended to use bottled water for drinking.

The taxis. If you are taking a cab in the city, it would be more budget-friendly to take metered taxis compared to private taxis. Hence, they are the preferred transportation in the city.

The stores. Abu Dhabi's shopping mall rates are not as attractive as in Dubai's so make sure to note the sale dates. During sale promotions, the prices could way drop.

The clothing. When coming to Abu Dhabi, it is ideal to pack thick clothing because their winter season could get seriously cold.

The work week. Unlike the usual work week schedule of Mondays ending on Fridays, in Abu Dhabi, it starts on a Sunday and ends on a Thursday.

The accommodation. For foreigners, it would be ideal to rent a home rather than purchase it. There are a lot of townhouses, villas, and apartments that you could lease for an affordable amount.

The medical insurance. Employers are required to provide medical insurance for foreigner workers so rest assured you are well taken care of. 

The school. The ideal setup if you have children you need to send to school is to enroll them into private schools. It is worth taking note than in enrolling them, you will need to submit a lot of documents including passports, birth certificates, passport photos, immunization records, and many more.
