Sun, sea, sand, and if you're a canny influencer with a few million followers to boot you can potentially add plenty of tax-free cash to the list...
so what's not to like?
Well if you're Joey Essex, not much; fresh from the rink having reached the final of Dancing On Ice, the affable TV personality is on the hunt for a new home in Dubai following a break-in at his Essex mansion.
Joey is understood to be in the market for a secure property, a warm climate and a low crime rate - and having already spent plenty of time partying on the Arab Peninsula, Dubai ticks every box.
Once a remote fishing community backed by a vast expanse of sprawling desert terrain, big business has rapidly transformed Dubai into a futuristic metropolis, a major global transport hub and the biggest city in the United Arab Emirates.
Nestled on the Persian Gulf coast and filled with gleaming modern architecture akin to a science fiction cityscape, the Arab state is an influencer's dream - little wonder so many of them have chosen it as their overseas home from home.
But it's not just the social media savvy who are moving - look a little closer and you might see more than one familiar face among the estimated 3.49 million people currently living in Dubai.

He's off: Joey Essex is understood to be on the lookout for a new home in Dubai - but who will be his neighbours if he does move to the sprawling Arab state?

LAURA ANDERSON
The former airline stewardess swapped her native Scotland for some much needed sunshine on the Arab Peninsula in May 2021.
Four years after finding fame in the Love Island villa, Laura moved into a lavish penthouse with then boyfriend Dane Bowers - best known as a former member of '90s R&B band Another Level.
Following the move she wasted no time in flooding her Instagram grid with images of the luxury home, complete with stunning views of the neighbouring Dubai Marina.
However there would soon be trouble in paradise for Laura, who relocated to London after splitting with Bowers in 2022 following a five year romance.
The TV personality is now permanently based in the UK and is currently pregnant with her first child after embarking on what would prove to be a short-lived romance with actor Gary Lucy.
