A member of red24 contacted us for advice when she decided to leave the UK and relocate to Dubai.
Having taken details of our member's prospective move, red24 assigned the case to one of our country intelligence specialists. After researching the Dubai region, our advisor compiled a thorough document detailing various security issues throughout the region. Our findings suggested that Dubai's crime rate was relatively low and although terrorism in the Middle East had been much publicised, it was not an increased risk in the city.
We provided a statistical breakdown of Dubai's crime report and suggested methods to avoid becoming a victim of petty crime, for example not displaying excessive amounts of expensive jewellery. We discovered that although Dubai had a reputation for being a progressive multicultural city, certain Islamic laws were still strictly enforced, especially with regard to women. Our report therefore offered female guidelines on cultural considerations and religious practices to acknowledge.
The member specifically asked for information on purchasing a house and a car, so in addition to advice on finding secure property, our report included contact details for reputable estate agencies and vehicle dealers in the region. We issued specific guidelines on factors relating to Internationals; including information on Visa's, obligatory health checks, and the latest drink and drug laws, which were notably different to the UK's.
The report was compiled and mailed to our member within 24 hours of her enquiry. She wrote back saying she was delighted to receive such an in-depth document, which answered all her personal questions and much more. She was glad to have used the red24 service and stated that she would definitely recommend it to others.
