Living in one of the most glamorous and vibrant cities, such as Dubai, doesn’t always mean life is as extravagant as what you see on Instagram. The UAE is full of prospects, but you cannot deny that, even with the most favourable opportunities, it can be challenging to sustain a livelihood in this cosmopolitan haven. Social Media will show you Lamborghinis, Cartier bracelets, Exclusive Restaurants with gold-infused edibles, and Flower Bouquets adorning 10,000 roses worth up to 15,000 AED, but in our opinion, a price doesn’t have to dictate how delightful and sincere a gift is. The UAE is many things, but what it isn’t is short of options to suit anyone from any income bracket.
