What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Ajman. They wrote...
"Expats in Ajman 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 traditions can also be difficult for expats to navigate, especially for those who are not familiar with or do not practice the religion. This includes dress codes, dietary restrictions, and prayer times. The extreme heat during the summer months can also be a challenge for those not accustomed to such climates. Additionally, the pace of life in Ajman is slower than in many Western countries, which can be frustrating for expats used to a faster, more immediate pace. Lastly, the strict laws and regulations, particularly those related to alcohol consumption and public behavior, can be challenging for expats to adjust to," said a member in Ajman, the UAE.
