The Indian community is biggest around 1.4-1.5 million the second largest community are Pakistanian around half million.While going through the markets/bazaars you’ll find the people from different places/countries (almost around the world). The most congested places are Deira(Gold Souk, Nasir Square, Naif) and Bur Dubai where in weekends hard to walk through. Currently we can say that Dubai is “Under Construction” many mega projects are going to be completed soon around 2014. Some mega projects are Metro(train), Palm Deira(Man made Islan), Palm Jebel Ali(Man made island), Palm Jumeirah (Man made island), Burj Dubai(Dubai Tower currently world’s largest), Jebel Ali Airport and many others.

Life in Dubai
Like other growing cities life is getting harder day by day, traffic congestion, instability in prices, house rents, school fees every thing is going up sharply. It is getting difficult to keep family in Dubai. Many low income people have sent their families back to their native countries. The biggest problem is to locate suitable accommodation. About 60-70% people are not satisfied with their income and expenditure (but they don’t want to leave Dubai) 20-30% slightly satisfied and remaining may be satisfied/happy.
Working in Dubai:
In the tax free fast growing economy bundle of opportunities is there where skilled/technical person are always appreciated specially in the field of Construction (Civil Engineering),Sales, Business management & IT. The candidates who are on visit visa or on temporary working visa can get response soon.
