Dubai's American Migrant Population



As one of the most, if not the most, visited and desirable emirate in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai has seen a huge influx of immigrants over the past decades. Among these many newcomers to the city, a large portion of them come from the United States of America, giving the city a distinctly international flavor and vibe.

Clocking in at over 40,000 United States citizens, according to the 2016 census, the American migrant population in Dubai is sizeable and continues to grow with each passing year. This immense surge of people from the US is due to a number of factors, the foremost of which is Dubai’s pull as a unique business destination. The city is a major economic hub in the Middle East, as well as a center for international banking, tourism and trade. Thus, many American nationals, often employed in these areas, have flocked to Dubai to take advantage of these opportunities and gain a good quality of life.

Apart from this, American nationals have also chosen to take up residence in Dubai due to its favourable climate and cost of living. For those wanting to leave the US and try their luck in a foreign land, the prospect of Dubai is often quite tempting.

The population of American expats in the emirate has been instrumental in shaping the culture and community of the city. Bringing with them customs and practices that are integral parts to their stateside lives, American immigrants have in many ways enriched Dubai’s cultural landscape. They often take part in public functions, festivals, and community events, becoming an integral part of the community.

Not only that, but American migrants in Dubai have also been quite successful in various industries in the city. From running their own businesses to being employed in top-ranking executive positions, these new-era entrepreneurs have played a significant role in the diversification of Dubai’s economic landscape.

Overall, thanks to their open-mindedness and energy, American migrants have in countless ways made a mark on the city of Dubai and its culture, and their presence has been felt since the early days. The emirate’s American population continues to thrive today, and they are sure to leave an indelible footprint in the years to come.
