The UAE is a country where dreams come true. Every month, many new millionaires are added through different raffle draws. What's more, residents enjoy tax-free salaries, which is a rarity by global standards.

Well, making a living and working in the UAE just got even more attractive. On Monday, Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island launched the ‘World’s Best Job’ competition, offering a $100,000 (Dh367,000) 'salary'.

Announced by American actor and comedian Kevin Hart, the family destination is looking to hire its next ambassador — and applications are now open to the public for those aged 21 and above.

Candidates are required to submit a video to enter the competition, in which they explain how they would ‘Hartify Yas Island’ if they were the ambassador. The question to answer is: "How will you make Yas Island Hart to Beat?".

The competition is open from January 9 to January 23 and five shortlisted entrants will be announced on Yas Island social media channels on January 26, 2023.

In the second round of the competition, the shortlisted entrants will have to participate in a live radio interview. The winner will finally be announced live on February 3, 2023.

To get around the Island, the newest ambassador will ride in style in a luxury car for the duration of their stay. Courtesy of Yas Marina Circuit, the winner will be able to satisfy their need for speed through karting sessions and the Formula Yas 3000 Driving Experience on the world-famous Formula 1 track. What's more, the winner will receive a 60-day club membership at Yas Links Golf Package complete with golfing sessions to help perfect their swing.
