What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Yas Island often find the language barrier to be a significant challenge, as Arabic is the official language and not everyone is fluent in English. The strict adherence to Islamic customs and laws can also be difficult for expats to navigate, especially those from Western countries. This includes restrictions on alcohol consumption, dress codes, and public displays of affection. The extreme heat during the summer months can also be a challenge for those not accustomed to such climates. Additionally, the hierarchical nature of Emirati society, where age and position are highly respected, can be a cultural adjustment for many expats. Lastly, the cost of living in Yas Island can be quite high, which can be a financial challenge for some expats," wrote a member who made the move to Yas Island, the UAE.
