Look at the bright side .. Kuwait was the highest gainer 2005 – 2006. At this rate we will be number 1 in about 10 years.
No one lives in Kuwait City, The poplution of Kuwait City is like 5 thousand or something
actually tel aviv and jerusalem are the highest gainers. kuwait comes third.
Dubai will be number 1 through years, knocking out the best cities in the world
Dubai will surely knock out everyone as the most expensive city to live in.
dubai will never become #1
and dubai is still way less expensive than many places around the world
and if it becomes expensive, thats the end of dubai
the worlds will end in five years!
Those are some interesting statistics! San francisco is number 28! And it is an amazing city!
I find it interesting that, while Dubai’s position remained unchanged at 85, Abu Dhabi jumped up *five* spots, from 97 to 92.
I heart AD.
peeps that say Dubai is really expensive don’t know what expensive is. Dubai is more expensive than it used to be, yeh, but try Tokyo, London or Germany
DXB is behind in public transport and in fuckin urban planning.. so 85 seems about right.
It’s like a shit version of Phoenix really..
When comparing Dubai to other cities, you should compare all factors. London, New York, Tokyo are expensive, yes, but you have a quality of life that goes along with that expensive lifestyle.
You have culture, you have infrastuctures, you have medicare, you have public transportation, you don’t have a million and one cranes working round the clock, etc.
That’s why people say Dubai is expensive. It’s because you pay so much for rent and food and services, but you’re not really getting much in return.
Oh, and Talal, I agree, I heard Abu Dhabi too :) I just hope it won’t become like Dubai.
I meant, I heart Abu Dhabi too (not heard…)
WTF BAHRAIN 125 !! LESS THAN Q8 ?!
maybe its the booze??
I’ll shave my head if ONE arab country ever makes it to the top 20!!! This survey is so bias.
Tunis 94th Among World Cities for Quality of Life…
So it turns out that Tunis is ranked 94th in the world wide index for quality of life. That’s down one spot from last year, although it’s index score is the same at 82.2. It seems someone jumped a spot ahead of us or something. The two leading cities…
Bullshit, since when is the quality of life in Egypt better than Kuwait? Name me one other country that Kuwait where u get free medical care, even forigners… u only have to pay 1 or 2 KD for administrative purposes.
I wonder how they judged that??
I live now in Dubai, and I used to live in Kuwait 6 months ago. I heard that Dubai is much nicer, but my experience here in Dubai was not as great. Believe it or not, I’m packing my stuff and heading back to Kuwait. In my opinion Dubai is way way way overrated.
Free health care here in Kuwait, You can also get free advice from an idiot, so why would you? The so called doctors are PATHETIC!!
can anyone help and give me an idea about rent kuwait ?
I have a job offer and don’t know what to do !
thx
