Conversation in a car on the highway from Dubai to Sharjah on July 31, 2020:
- Construction city. How many are being built ... But for whom? Who will live here? Especially after such a crisis. Dubai expo is postponed, residents are leaving the country, many have lost their jobs or business: even Emirates has laid off thousands of employees, including my pilot friend.
- Why doesn't the government initiate the creation of special conditions in order to attract the smartest and most talented specialists from different countries of the world ?! So they will raise the economy, competently accumulating the best minds and talents. We have everything for this, including thousands of square meters of new housing. These are the people who would live here, and the types of construction cranes would look more fun against the backdrop of the desert.
Headline in the news on January 31, 2021, exactly seven months later:
"For the first time in history, the UAE grants foreigners the right to obtain citizenship."
The Emirates, and especially Dubai, have long sought to reduce their dependence on oil by using other incentives to drive the country's economic growth. And now investors, inventors, scientists, artists, doctors and their families can apply for an Emirati passport.

The law is new and it is not yet completely clear whether applicants will be required to be proficient in one or another level of the Arabic language. In the Emirates, everyone speaks English and Arabic is not always needed, although his knowledge greatly expands the possibilities.
However, citizenship is a special case. Therefore, in continuation of the topic, I will prepare a separate material on the easiest way to learn the Arabic language, if it suddenly turns out that you have everything to apply and obtain the desired passport, but you will have to master the language.
