Migrants in the United Arab Emirates represent about 88% of the population, while Emiratis constitute roughly 12% of the total population, making the UAE home to one of the world's highest percentage of expatriates.[1]

Most of immigrants reside in Dubai and the capital, Abu Dhabi.[2] The UAE is home to over 200 nationalities.[3] Indians and Pakistanis form the largest expatriate groups in the country, constituting 28%[4] and 12% of the total population respectively.[5] Around 510,000 Westerners live in the United Arab Emirates, making up 5% of its total population.[6] [7]

History and background

A number of immigrants settled in the country prior to independence.[8] [9] The United Arab Emirates attracts immigrants from all over the world; this may be because UAE nationals prefer to work for the government or military.[10] [11] The country's relatively liberal society compared to some of its neighbours has attracted many global expatriates, including people from the Western nations.[12] Many immigrants were also attracted by its tax-free status.

However, since the late 2010s, an influx of high-net-worth individuals significantly increased the cost of living, especially housing and private school fees. The UAE went from being the 90th most expensive destination for expatriates in 2013 to the 31st in 2023. As a result, thousands of middle-class workers left the country.[13] Saudi Arabia is competing with Dubai to attract these expatriates.[14] The absence of an easy route to citizenship is another cause of emigration.[15] Lower-paid expatriates are less affected by the local inflation as they work in manual professions such as construction and cleaning where their employers pay for their rent, electricity and transportation.[16]

Legal status

Under Article 8 of UAE Federal Law no. 17, an expatriate can apply for UAE citizenship after residing in the country for a period not less than 30 years providing that person has maintained a good reputation, has never been convicted of a crime and is fluent in Arabic.[17]

Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) populations (Arabs)

Algerians

Algerians in the UAE number 10,000 in 2014.

Bahrainis

A small but unknown number of Bahraini people are present in the UAE.[18] Bahrain is also a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC); this membership enables Bahraini nationals to enter the UAE without restrictions.

Egyptians

There are 400,000 Egyptians living in the UAE in 2014, forming the largest community of non-citizens from the Arab world in the UAE.

Iraqis

See main article: Iraqis in the United Arab Emirates.

Iraqis in the UAE have a population exceeding 200,000.[19] Since its independence, Iraqis have contributed in the development of UAE, as engineers, politicians and in other fields. Most notably Adnan Pachachi who was appointed as Minister of State in the first Government of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Pachachi is known for his role in submitting the UAE's application for membership in the United Nations. In a meeting with Prime Minister of Iraq, Mustafa Al-Kadhimi, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan stated that "Iraqis have contributed in building the UAE, and there are many of them who worked, built, developed and helped build the Emirates, and we mention this credit to them, whether engineers, doctors, or even politicians and others. There are still many Iraqis living in the UAE, and they are credited."[20]

Jordanians

See main article: Jordanians in the United Arab Emirates.

As of 2009, the Jordanian population was estimated at 250,000,[21] an increase from 80,000 in 2003,[22] making them one of the largest Jordanian diaspora communities both worldwide and in the Persian Gulf region.

Kuwaitis

A small community of Kuwaitis lives in the UAE.[23] It includes around 1,000 Kuwaiti students studying at eight universities across the UAE.[24] [25] [26] Kuwait is also a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC); this membership enables Kuwaiti nationals to live and work in the UAE without restrictions.

Lebanese

See main article: Lebanese people in the United Arab Emirates.

An estimated 80,000–150,000[27] Lebanese live in the UAE, mostly in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. The UAE remains a popular touring destination for many Lebanese. Similar to Syrians, the majority of Lebanese expatriates who work in the UAE are educated, with some being fluent in both French and English languages. Many Lebanese are involved in business and the media as plastic surgeons, businessmen, managers, salesmen, artists, presenters, hairdressers, TV hosts and news anchors.

Notable Lebanese nationals who have lived in the UAE include the late Antoine Choueiri, the owner of the Middle East's largest media broker (Choueiri Group), which controls Arabian Media Services International, MEMS, Arabian Outdoor, Times International, Audio-Visual Media, C Media, Press Media, Digital Media Services, Interadio, Promofair, AMC and SECOMM; and Elias Bou Saab, the founder of the American University in Dubai (AUD).

Omanis

Omanis consist of expatriates and residents in the United Arab Emirates who hail from Oman. Being a bordering country and sharing cultural links, thousands of Omanis live in the UAE. They are predominantly Arabs and belong to the Muslim Ibadi sect.

Omanis make a large percentage of the UAE's officer corps and also dominate the police forces.[31] Many are originally students pursuing higher education in various institutions across the country. In 2003, their number was estimated at over 9,000. According to the Times of Oman, the United Arab Emirates is the most popular destination for Omani students who choose to study abroad; its close location and sharing of the language and culture makes them more comfortable at places like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the border town of Al Ain.[32]

Both countries have signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at providing benefits to Omani nationals and citizens in the UAE as well as treating Omani labour and workforce at par with the country's nationals.[33] Being a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) (like the UAE) enables Omani nationals to move and work freely within the country and enjoy contrasting residential benefits as compared to expatriates in the UAE from non-GCC states.

In 2003, Omanis in the UAE were allowed to vote for council members in the elections of the Omani Majlis al-Shura. It was the first-ever overseas suffrage in Oman's history.[34]

Palestinians

An estimated 200,000[35] Palestinians live in the UAE and form one of the largest community of non-citizens from the Arab world in the UAE.

Qataris

Some Qatari citizens are based in the UAE. Qatar was a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and thus citizens of both countries were free to live and work in each other's countries without restrictions. The 2017–18 Qatar diplomatic crisis began when several countries abruptly cut off diplomatic relations with Qatar in June 2017. These countries included Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Egypt. The severing of relations included withdrawing ambassadors and imposing trade and travel bans.[36] [37] [38] Also, Qatari citizens who have family members from the UAE will not be affected.[39]

Both the UAE and Saudi Arabia are neighbouring Arab states and part of the Gulf Cooperation Council; according to agreements, the citizens of each GCC member can live and work in any of the six countries without a visa and other restrictions. The Saudis own a total of 1,357 houses and 1,450 pieces of land in various emirates in the UAE.

The Somali Business Council based in Dubai regulates 175 Somali companies.[41] Somali-owned businesses line the streets of Deira, the Dubai city centre,[42] with only Iraqis exporting more products from the city at large.[43] Internet cafés, hotels, coffee shops, restaurants and import-export businesses are all testimony to the Somalis' entrepreneurial spirit. Star African Air is also one of three Somali-owned airlines based in Dubai.

In addition to being famous in the media, beauty, fashion, real estate and IT businesses, many Syrians have developed other companies and restaurants, as the Syrian kitchen is known to be one of the richest kitchens in the Middle East and the world. Many of them work in both the public and private sectors. Higher positions are usually held by Syrians due to their known education, diplomacy and background.

Restrictions were tightened against the entry of Israeli citizens following the assassination of Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh in Dubai in 2010, which was blamed on Israeli intelligence.[59] However, there were still Jewish expatriates in the UAE, and Israelis with dual citizenship who lived, visited, and worked in the UAE as citizens of other countries.
