What are the features when moving to Dubai with children?

Dubai is not only an ideal place to relax, profit from real estate investments, but also a great place to move the whole family for permanent residence.

However, moving to a new country always has certain nuances, especially when it comes to children.

Climate

This is one of the most important advantages when moving. Especially if you don’t like winter heat or snow, then Dubai is the right choice. Naturally, temperatures rise above 30 degrees Celsius in the summer, so you should choose the winter period for your move. This will prepare your child for warm weather and he will get used to constant warmth.

What is important to know:

• let the child wear a hat at all times;
• important to watch for adequate water intake;
• should not be ignored using sunscreen;
• on very hot days, do not take long walks with children outside.

It is also important that the child has clothes made from natural fabrics that will cover the maximum amount of skin.

Safety

Dubai is one of the safest cities in the world. In a recent ranking of the portal Numbeo, which analyzes information from around the world, the city took 5th place. This suggests that parents should not worry that the child may get lost or something will happen to him.

However, it is worth adhering to certain rules that will allow the child to be completely comfortable and safe:

1. don’t ridicule religious views;
2. don’t argue with the police;
3. no need to try to buy alcoholic beverages.

Also, the child should know that there is very heavy traffic in Dubai, so he should follow the rules of road safety in order not to get into a bad situation.

Education

Education in the UAE is compulsory from the age of 6. But many parents prefer to send their children to preschool.

This type of education is represented by several institutions:

1. nursery. Designed for children up to 4 years old. It is possible to give the child both for a full or part-time week, depending on the workload of the parents;

2. kindergarten. For children aged 4-5 years. Here the child is prepared for school, so the emphasis is on reading, writing, etc.

At the same time, you need to understand that places in good kindergartens can be scheduled long before the start of training. Therefore, you need to take care of this in advance. Usually in kindergartens there are waiting lists, according to which you can reserve a place for your child. At the same time, it is also worth paying attention to the training budget, since the cost of kindergartens may differ from each other.

If we talk about school education, it is important to note right away that many people move to Dubai, among other things, because of the opportunity to study in private paid schools. Free schools are only Arabic, where the local population studies.

What are the benefits?

• School programs are compiled according to the best programs in the UK, USA, EU countries.

• Multicultural environment. This factor may be almost the main one for parents who want their child to have a thorough knowledge of English or another language (depending on the school) from school time.

• Developed education system. Education is aimed at the comprehensive development of the child and the promotion of his strengths. At the same time, the state constantly attaches great importance to this area.

• High level of security. Schools have their own security service, as well as buses for transferring students.

The system of school education consists of several stages: primary, preparatory, secondary. Over time, new subjects are added, classes can be divided by gender, and the study of Arabic is added to the program. After graduation from school and successfully passing the exams, the student is issued a certificate.

Dubai has a large number of private schools. Therefore, it is worth proceeding from your budget, location and the program that the school provides. However, the most famous can be distinguished: Repton School Dubai, Kings’ School Dubai, Delhi Private School, Jumeirah English Speaking School.

It is also important to emphasize that Dubai is very popular with students. For the Emirate, education is one of the top priorities. Up to 25% of the country’s budget is allocated for science, technology, and research programs. The university system of education in the UAE is based on the British model.

Why do students from all over the world choose to study in Dubai?

1. Classes are held in English. This gives access to programs, as well as the opportunity to communicate with different students and teachers.

2. The emirate attracts international students, so there may be discounts on tuition. The authorities believe that highly intelligent youth can become a driver of economic development.

3. The quality of education and a wide range of specialties. Students do not write huge summaries and do not waste time in vain. The quality of education is strictly controlled by a special state body on the issue of knowledge. It regularly reviews private universities and colleges and closes those that do not meet quality criteria.

4. Employment prospects. Companies provide many interesting opportunities for graduates in various fields, including energy, finance and real estate.

Dozens of representative offices of world-famous universities are located in Dubai. You can study at branches of the Sorbonne, New York University, Boston University, the University of Washington, the Rochester Institute of Technology, and many more.

Depending on the university and the chosen specialty, the cost of education varies from $10,000 to $30,000 per year. However, a diploma from one of the world’s most prestigious universities obtained in Dubai will cost less than a diploma from the same university in the US or Europe.

Medicine

Over the past few years, medical tourism has made a powerful breakthrough in development. Advanced medical technologies are now available not only to local residents, but also to visitors.

However, all foreigners need to take out insurance. It covers some doctor visits, medicines, tests and even surgeries. At the same time, it is possible to make extended insurance, which can include other services.

In Dubai, first aid is a free service. All urgent manipulations, including surgery, will be performed free of charge. But further treatment will be paid.

What are the advantages of medicine in Dubai?

• The medical sector in Dubai is at a high level and is represented by both public and private clinics.

• The presence of a large number of pharmacies that work around the clock.

• The clinics employ highly qualified specialists who will provide excellent service, while many of them speak English.

Medical tourism in Dubai is one of the priority areas of the last few years. The state takes this issue very seriously. One of the confirmations is the creation of Dubai Healthcare City. This is the world’s first healthcare and medical free zone ecosystem, which employs more than 4 thousand specialists from around the world, houses several of the largest modern hospitals and more than 100 clinics.

Leisure

The city has created a huge entertainment infrastructure to spend leisure time with the whole family. The largest water parks in the world, a snow park in a shopping center, parks with rare animals and plants – all this and more is in Dubai.
