I came to the UAE in early 2021 with full intention of leaving within two years and
00:20
now it's almost been four years and I don't have any plans to leave and the reason that
00:26
made me stick around was mostly the people. I love the multicultural aspect of the city,
00:32
I love the different perspectives that you get to see, I love the different cultures
00:39
and environments that you are exposed to and I've been super lucky to make very meaningful
00:45
connections here that have made the UAE my home.
00:48
Hi, I'm Natasha D'Souza and what I love most about the UAE is the sense of possibility.
00:53
This country inspires you to aim high. You meet people from all over the world here.
00:59
The safety, the opportunity and the welcoming environment made it a very easy decision for me
01:04
to stay. We are here now more than 35 years. Dubai is our second home and we are very very
01:11
happy to be here and our children also have grown up here and they're also well settled.
01:16
We feel very safe in this country and the security what we have is amazing. We never
01:23
have any other second thoughts to migrate anywhere and this is our place.
01:29
Hi, my name is Sonam Ashari and I've been in the UAE for just over eight and a half years.
01:33
What I love about the UAE is the multiculturalism and diversity. During the time I've been here,
01:39
I've seen a genuine and continuous positive evolution in what the country offers. There's
01:44
innovation and ambition in everything everyone does here and to me it's little wonder why the
01:49
UAE is the most desirable destination in the world for people to build their professional
01:53
and personal life.
