Dubai is top spot for lifestyle



A new survey ranks cities according to the quality of their schools, weather, leisure options and restaurants
Dubai has topped the list of best places in the world to relocate to because of its schools, sunshine and sports.
When it comes to living the best lifestyle, the Middle Eastern city trumps the likes of Majorca, Cayman Islands and Madrid, according to findings by international property agents Knight Frank.
Its global lifestyle review takes into account four key factors it says the majority of clients are interested in – international schools, weather, leisure pursuits and the availability of quality restaurants. On these qualities Dubai features in the top three rankings for all but one category, restaurants.
Hong Kong tops the list of best restaurants with 69 Michelin starred eateries in the former British colony, followed by London and Geneva. For weather, Nassau in the Bahamas was top of the table with 365 days of sunshine a year, along with Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands.
Becky Lucas lived in Dubai for seven years and was the editor of Time Out magazine. She said: "The restaurant scene is currently booming, with varied new venues opening most months, if not weeks, usually with the clout of an already established international brand or chef behind them.
