UAE has once again retained its position as the top choice for young Arabs to live in and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Dubai Ruler, is welcoming everyone to the country.
Covering 16 Arab states, the ninth annual ASDA'A Burson-Marsteller Arab Youth Survey 2017 revealed that more than one in three young Arabs (35 per cent) cited the UAE as their choice, an increase of 13 percentage points over last year, when just under a quarter (22 per cent) put the UAE in the top spot.
Preference for the UAE was so strong this year it left other nations trailing, with the US a distant second at 15 per cent, Saudi Arabia and Canada at 14 per cent, and Germany rounding out the top five at 13 per cent.
Taking to Twitter to comment on the survey findings, Sheikh Mohammed said that the UAE is a country for everyone and the country's dream is for the entire Arab region to prosper:
