Airbnb announced the launch of the Dubai remote working hub. This hub is a one-stop shop for aspiring remote workers and digital nomads in partnership with Dubai´s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). Those digital nomads looking to live and work in Dubai can use the hub to find local long-term listings and other helpful information.
This year Airbnb launched the Live and Work Anywhere program, which helped nomads identify remote worker-friendly destinations worldwide. And Dubai is among the 20 destinations that are great for remote workers due to its infrastructure.
