Vacation or relocation? Why do expats choose summer to move to Dubai?

When summer arrives in Dubai, everyone thinks of holidays, beach days, and getting away from the heat. But for expats, summer usually suggests something else: relocation. Thousands of expats move to Dubai in the summer months. Why do so many choose to come during this season?

Timing is Everything

School is one of the essential reasons that expats relocate to Dubai in the summer. Regarding the school calendar, summer is the best time to settle in, as most schools open their doors in June or July for admissions and start classes in September. Families want their children to attend school from day one without interruption.

Parents can make all the necessary preparations during the summer: they can seek out schools, admit children, and assist them in adjusting to their new environment.

Job Transitions and the Dubai Business Season

An important consideration is the job transition period. Many companies in Dubai recruit and onboard fresh employees in the summer, so that everything is duly organised at the onset of the busy season between October and April.

These months are known for peak business and tourism activities in Dubai, as people enjoy cooler weather and major events. Thus, summers are an ideal window of opportunity for the expats to settle into their new roles without the hustle and bustle of the winters.

Real Estate Demand and New Communities

Summer is the season for real estate activities. Developers know this trend and launch accordingly. Among Emaar’s latest projects in Dubai’s modern landscape are The Oasis and The Valley. These communities ensure modern family living with parks and schools equipped with all the facilities an expat can seek.

Quite a few of these new developments are made for families. You’ll find big homes, plenty of open areas, and fast routes to your child’s school and the office. 

While summer is considered the quiet season in many parts of the world, it actually becomes a busy period for homebuyers in these areas. Families often plan their moves during the summer holidays to avoid disrupting their children’s school year, and many expats prefer to relocate at this time. For this reason, people search for homes in the summer, even though it’s considered the quiet season elsewhere.

Summer is a Time to Settle in Dubai

Summer can be hot, but it brings peaceful days to finish paperwork, find somewhere to live, check out new neighbourhoods, and prepare for what’s next. Fewer people are on the road with fewer events to attend making it an opportune time to relocate and settle into your new home.
