The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates: Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain. Its capital is Abu Dhabi. “The UAE” and “Dubai” therefore do not mean the same thing.
When planning a trip or a move, identify the specific emirate and city first. Your workplace, daily routes and preferred lifestyle matter more than an overall impression of the country.
Our editorial tip: list the places you will visit regularly and compare them with your intended home location. This helps turn an attractive image into a practical picture of everyday life.
