Thinking of Moving to Dubai? The UAE Ranks as the Happiest Country in the Arab World in 2025

  • 2 days ago

If you’re planning to relocate to Dubai or explore real estate investment in the UAE, there’s now one more reason to take that decision seriously.

The 2025 World Happiness Report has ranked the UAE 21st globally, ahead of the United States, United Kingdom, and France — making it the happiest country in the Arab world.

This annual report by Gallup evaluates 147 countries using key indicators that directly influence quality of life:

  • GDP per capita
  • Social and community support
  • Healthy life expectancy
  • Freedom to make life choices
  • Perceptions of corruption
  • Generosity

🇦🇪 For those relocating with families, launching a business, or investing in Dubai’s luxury property market, this ranking isn’t just symbolic — it reflects real-world stability, safety, and wellbeing.

Neighbouring nations like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Oman also made strong showings, but the UAE continues to lead across infrastructure, policy, innovation, and lifestyle.

Why this matters for buyers and investors

Dubai has become one of the most attractive destinations for international relocation, offering:

  • A tax-efficient environment
  • High levels of personal safety
  • World-class healthcare and education
  • Seamless visa options for investors and professionals
  • Strong ROI in high-demand residential areas
