Default thinking of moving

Hi all.
We are a family of new zealanders who have a brother working in dubai. we have 8 month old twins.
I have recently thought of moving overseas to do some more travelling etc.
Is dubai the place for us?
I am in the construction industry, i have both been a builder and currently run my own design and plans company.
Could anyone help with any ideas please.
Regards
Bruce

As you will have read on previous threads, it is not the place to be a builder, unless you run your own company. Most manual jobs are taken by men from the Indian sub-continent who will work for low wages.

Although you can set up your own company in the UAE, it isn't cheap as you have to apply for licences.

You used the word builder. Project management is altogether different.
