What's different about Dubai
Zero income tax means your full salary is your take-home. Dubai has the UAE's highest rents and the largest expat job market.
Average gross pay in Dubai is around AED 240,000, above the national figure of about AED 240,000 — which shapes what a given salary feels like locally as much as the tax does.
Zero income tax, but high rents and school fees absorb much of the gain. A one-bedroom flat in Dubai averages about AED 8,500 a month — weigh that against the take-home above.
