According to a recent Mercer study, Dubai and Abu Dhabi have emerged as leading Middle Eastern destinations for foreign workers, tourism, and business. According to the study, which polled over 50,000 people in 79 cities, both cities ranked highly in terms of quality of life, economy, and infrastructure. 

The study's outcome was determined by assessing a variety of factors, including the political and social environment, the economic environment, the socio-cultural environment, medical and health considerations, schools and education, public services and transportation, and housing. According to the study, the quality of life dimension was a critical factor in determining a city's liveability for its residents. 

Dubai, in particular, has grown dramatically in recent years, becoming a major center for commerce, innovation, and tourism. The city has cutting-edge infrastructure, such as world-class airports, ports, and transportation networks. This, combined with the country's strong economy, makes it an appealing destination for foreign workers and businesses. In contrast, Abu Dhabi has emerged as a center for oil and gas production, finance, and investment. The city's leadership has made significant infrastructure investments, such as cutting-edge hospitals, schools, and transportation systems, making it an appealing destination for foreign workers and businesses.
