Education and Schools in Abu Dhabi

One of the safest cities in the world. Shopping malls are fabulous. Lots of hotels and resorts with perks for families. Brunches are aplenty. Very multicultural. One negative is if you’re Asian, you are often stereotyped as a nanny or housemaid. Another issue is that the salary of nannies and maids is very low compared to the job they are doing in the house. International schools are very expensive, but some companies offer educational allowances as part of the package.

Anyway, Abu Dhabi is the capital city of the United Arab Emirates. Its population consists mostly of expats who work in healthcare, gas and oil, construction, hospitality, tourism, etc. Out of the 10.17 million people who live here, almost 69% are male. Out of the total population, 1.5 million live in Abu Dhabi, while the rest are scattered amongst the other six emirates. Only around 12% of the UAE’s total population are Emiratis, and the rest are expats, with 27% of them coming from India. Most people settle here for longer periods due to better job opportunities and the benefits companies offer. Islam is the main religion, but other religions are thriving here.
