Work from home jobs in Dubai are not easy to find and sometimes do not pay enough.
I was in Dubai for many months.
When I was there, many people said that there were plenty of work from home jobs in Dubai but I did not find anything suitable that was worth the effort.
Cost of living in a city like Dubai can be pretty high and whatever work from home opportunities I was finding was not paying to dedicate few hours in a day.
However, now I understand that you can get a high paying work from job regardless of your location and it all depends on your experience and skills.
