After years of living and working in the UAE, I’ve seen how this country keeps evolving into one of the world’s most powerful hubs for ambitious people. It’s a place full of promise — but also one that rewards those who make smart decisions early.
Today, the UAE isn’t just a destination — it’s a global force
Recent figures show that over 60,000 Canadians have now made the UAE their home, rising sharply from 42,000 not long ago. Business registrations and visa approvals from Europe have doubled and tripled over the last few years. These aren’t just statistics — they are proof that the UAE’s appeal is stronger than ever.
Living here offers incredible upsides:
No personal income tax, competitive living costs compared to other major cities, and an unmatched quality of life — from personal safety to modern healthcare. But the real difference between surviving here and succeeding here comes down to one thing: how well you set yourself up.
If you’re serious about making the most of your time in the UAE — whether as an entrepreneur, professional, or family — you need the right foundations.
Legal advice. Financial structures. Insurance that actually protects you. Strong community connections, like the Canadian Business Council, are also a huge advantage. In the UAE, the people and systems you put around you make all the difference.
At Petra Insurance Brokers, we focus on one thing: making sure you are protected from day one.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all products. We design life insurance, health coverage, home insurance, and business protection that fit exactly where you are today — and where you want to be tomorrow.
A simple example:
Home insurance in the UAE is much more affordable than in Europe. Protecting your home isn’t just an afterthought — it’s a critical piece of securing your financial future here. At Petra, we guide you through decisions like these with full transparency and without pressure.
Our role goes beyond selling policies.
We clear the confusion that comes with relocating. We replace stress with solid answers. We give you control over your life here — not just today, but long-term.
Thanks to partnerships with leading community groups like the Canadian Business Council and years of trusted service to thousands of expats, Petra Insurance Brokers is the first call many people make when setting up their lives in the UAE.
If you’re serious about protecting your health, your assets, your family, or your business, let’s talk.
My team and I are ready to give you straight answers, clear solutions, and honest support — no jargon, no hard sell.
This isn’t just business. It’s about making sure the life you’re creating here actually works for you.
Thank you for being part of our community.
