UAE Country Information
Though the country has previously lagged behind many of its neighbors, the United Arab Emirates has become a force to be reckoned with in the region. When looking at the country's demographics, however, the picture becomes clearer; with the population is mainly foreign workers or expatriates, with a significant British presence. Since the discovery of oil in the UAE in 1950, the petroleum industry has been the major hub of economic growth for the entire country. Abu Dhabi became the first region in the United Arab Emirates to export the liquid gold, moving the country from a dying agricultural economy to a booming industrial nation.
Careful planning over the years has seen the oil business successfully joined with a conscious campaign to attract business, construction, and tourism to the nation, creating a more stable and diversified economic base.
Shipping to Dubai for online shipping purchases.
Today, Dubai is considered to be a major destination for both business and pleasure. Most people who reside in the UAE, live within the city of Dubai, which is, by far, the most liberal area of the UAE. Shipments will still be subject to the government rules of importation. Dubai, however, does have many tax-free zones because of a large amount of foreign trade accomplished in the city, so it could pay to ship goods straight to this metropolitan hub. With some of the best transport links in the UAE located in Dubai, transit times are normally fast no matter where you are shipping from.
UAE’s eCommerce market is currently valued at 9.2 billion dirhams ($2.5 billion USD), but is projected to grow to 36.7 billion dirhams ($10 billion USD) by 2018, this slow growth is partially down to the vast and expansive shopping malls found in the UAE, however millions of parcels are still sent to not only Dubai but also Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Remember you can compare couriers online in a matter of minutes and use our shipping calculator to find either the quickest shipping time or the best price.
We also have a number of shipments being shipped from the USA to Saudi Arabia too, using our discounted shipping rates.
