LONDON: Dubai has been named the most desirable city in the world to live in for foreigners wanting to emigrate.
A new map created using Google search data of the words “move to” compiled from 164 countries over 12 months ranked the Gulf metropolis as the top destination for people wanting to move abroad, ahead of the likes of Paris and Miami.
“Move to Dubai” was the most searched entry of its kind in 60 countries including the US, UK and Australia.
The map was put together by financial services provider Remitly, which caters mainly to expatriates and migrants.
“With a vast array of job opportunities, growing infrastructure, excellent health care and education, and the prospect of no income tax, it’s clear why Dubai tops the list,” Remitly said.
“As a result, the city, known affectionately as ‘The Jewel of the Desert,’ has seen its population continue to swell, reaching 3.6 million for the first time in 2023.”
