It is amazing to be a resident of the UAE. It is indeed a progressive and forward looking country in the world, which has transformed itself and left it past much behind. It has embraced innovation and development. People feel completely secure and happy here (“UAE is world’s 4th best country to live and work,” Gulf Today online, Oct.20). The way the UAE has bounced back post COVID-19 pandemic has put lots of faith in the country. It is evident from the way the UAE has inaugurated Dubai Expo 2020, and life has almost returned to normalcy. Schools and academic institutions have started once again. With good management UAE has also managed to control COVID-19 so efficiently. The vaccination drive carried out all across the country speaks volumes for its determination. No wonder the UAE has been voted as the 4th best place to live and work in the world.
The country is a melting pot for many cultures and civilisations. People from around 200 nationalities stay, meet, dine, live together. It is such an amazing experience.
Not only common people but also celebrities from India and Pakistan have chosen the UAE as their second home. Every day we read in the newspaper that Indian stars, singers and businessman have taken the Golden Visa and they express their happiness on their social media platforms. It is something incredible.
