The United Arab Emirates is a Middle Eastern federation of seven states situated in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula. The UAE has one of the most diverse populations in the Middle East. An estimated 85% of the population is comprised of non-citizens, one of the world's highest percentages of foreign-born in any nation. The most populated city is Dubai, with approximately 1.6 million people.
The UAE has attracted a number of very affluent expatriates from developed countries, who are attracted to a very warm climate, scenic views and the nation's comparably low cost of living and tax-free incentives for their business or residency in the UAE.
