The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 which begins next month is to be another boon to Dubai’s booming economy.
Just six months after Expo 2020 showcased Dubai on the global stage and welcomed people from 178 countries, many for the first time; the emirate is set to receive a fresh influx of international visitors, as football fans descend on the region for the World Cup Qatar 2022.
Expo 2020 propelled the city back into action after Covid-19, establishing afresh its business and investment opportunities, and now, thanks to its proximity to Qatar, it is perfectly positioned to enjoy a welcome halo effect from Qatar’s predicted $17bn economy boost.
More than one million visitors are expected to stop on the way through, or use UAE as a base for the tournament, travelling in and out of Doha via one of more than 100 daily ground shuttles or newly laid-on daily flights between Dubai and Doha.
