The team at Souq Extra wish you and your loved ones a very Happy 47th UAE National Day.
We went around the Souq Extra Head Office asking our colleagues why they love living in the UAE, and the list was pretty extensive:
“The UAE is very open and welcoming, and offers a world-class lifestyle offering the perfect mix to live, work and play. Apart from its multi-cultural facet and an endless list of family-oriented leisure activities, the business infrastructure is backed by a solid regulatory environment with transparent facilities supporting business growth and welcoming both entrepreneurs and well-established global business alike. Given the country’s strategic location with easy access to two-thirds of the world population, the UAE acts as a vital business hub for business trade, logistics and commerce in the MENA region.” – Esam El-Makkawy (Chief Financial Officer, Souq Extra).
“The UAE is one of the safest countries in the world, and is perfect for raising a young family. There are so many child-oriented activities available, and I also really enjoy the amazing variety of food here.” – Sunil Hemrajani (Senior Leasing Manager, Souq Extra).
“I was born and raised in the UAE, it is the only home I know.” – Amrit Kaur Billkhu (Office Manager, Souq Extra).
“Living in the UAE, we are exposed to state of the art technology.” – Moiz Khan (Project Engineer, Souq Extra).
“I moved to the UAE for work, and this country has been very lucky for me in terms of career growth. Hard work really pays off well here.” – Jennifer Codina (Office Manager, Souq Extra).
“I love the eclectic retail scene of the UAE. From quaint old souqs to world-renowned shopping malls boasting of brands from all over the world, the UAE is a shopaholic’s paradise. I also love the food scene here. Given the multi-cultural expat mix, we get to indulge in the very best cuisines from around the globe. From street food to the finest gourmet restaurant chains, the choices are endless.” – Tehzeeb Huda (Marketing Manager – Souq Extra).
“My grandfather served in the UAE army in the mid-seventies, and I have always wanted to move here since my childhood. I am living my dream living in this wonderfully safe, family-oriented country.” – Umair Ahmad (Finance Manager, Souq Extra).
“I am a third-generation UAE expat. My grandparents moved here from Egypt many years ago. Dubai has always been home for me.” – Hesham Sobhy (Finance Manager, Souq Extra).
“The UAE is such a multi-cultural country. I have met so many interesting people here, and they widen the way you look at the world.” – Deepak Prakash (Operations Manager, Souq Extra).
