Glamping, a glamorous staycation industry in the UAE, is reporting a significant uptick in such bookings and some properties are booked until mid-January, as people are still wary of travelling abroad due to the pandemic.
UAE nationals and residents are homing in on picturesque parts of the country, which seeks to celebrate the world’s coolest winter campaign, starting this week.
Top investing tips for UAE residents in 2021
Build an emergency fund: Make sure you have enough cash to cover six months of expenses as a buffer against unexpected problems before you begin investing, advises Steve Cronin, the founder of DeadSimpleSaving.com.
Think long-term: When you invest, you need to have a long-term mindset, so don’t worry about momentary ups and downs in the stock market.
Invest worldwide: Diversify your investments globally, ideally by way of a global stock index fund.
Is your money tied up: Avoid anything where you cannot get your money back in full within a month at any time without any penalty.
