Every year, This Emirates attracts thousands of visitors and new residents, drawn by its vibrant atmosphere, safety, and multicultural environment. But beyond the skyscrapers and shopping malls, everyday life requires a good understanding of local customs, administrative procedures, and practical solutions for settling in and making a long-term home there.
If you are French and seriously thinking about leaving, you are not alone. More and more French professionals, entrepreneurs and families are looking at Dubai as a way to escape heavy taxation, rigid job markets and a climate of constant frustration. At the same time, Dubai’s images on social media can feel exaggerated, leaving you unsure what is real opportunity and what is pure marketing.
If you scroll through social media, Dubai often looks like a non‑stop movie set: supercars, influencers, rooftop parties and perfect sunsets. But anyone seriously thinking about living there knows that behind the Instagram filters, there is a real city with its own social rules, unwritten codes and types of people who feel at home – and others who burn out quickly. The challenge is to understand the true personality of Dubai before you pack your life into a suitcase.
Landing in Dubai is exciting… right up until you realise that nothing really works without a residence visa, local banking, valid driving permissions and a school plan if you have kids. Many expats waste months chasing documents, redoing appointments and learning the hard way that everything is connected: no Emirates ID, no proper bank account; no correct license, no car; no school place, no peace at home. The good news is that, with the right order and documents, you can move from chaos to control much faster than you think.
One of the most stressful expat scenarios in Dubai is landing with your belongings while your final apartment or villa is still “almost ready”. Your shipment is arriving, your suitcases are full, but you are still in a hotel, Airbnb or short‑term rental with zero storage space. Every day of delay threatens extra fees from movers, storage companies or landlords, and you feel caught between timelines you do not control.
