What is the average expat lifestyle like in Dubai?
This really depends. It used to be that because of generous employment packages Western expats could live the high-life in Dubai. Most people lived in large villas, had domestic help, drove expensive cars and still had plenty of money to spare. Now those packages are becoming less and less common, many expats are downsizing considerably. However, Dubai is a great place to live if you can afford it. Eating out is affordable, almost anything and everything can be delivered to your home; groceries, mobile phone credit, DVDs, and there is no shortage of things to do. Golf, water sports, scuba diving and even skiing!
