Living in Dubai is a great experience: that is after all why we have been here since 2016 barring some 20 months in-between. The summers tend to be long and noticeably hot; the winters, or shall we say the non-summer period, is extremely pleasant and cool. It's a time to socialise, eat out, run a lot, and enjoy life in general.
I have been visiting Dubai since 1992. In that year, I did a consulting project with a client in Saudi Arabia. The consulting firm I worked with had a regional office in Dubai and I was mandated to visit them on the way out. I spent three days in October. It was a much smaller city then, of course, with the outer limit of the city defined by Trade Centre (and the next built up area being Jebel Ali and the next built up area being Abu Dhabi, as it seemed to me then).
Fell in love with the city and the culture. There is a warmth and consideration for people here that I have just not seen anywhere else.
