Why Are People Moving to the UAE?

People relocate to the UAE for many reasons, from career opportunities and business expansion to family and long-term lifestyle changes. Dubai and Abu Dhabi, in particular, attract professionals and businesses from around the world.

Many of these moves involve more than a short-term stay. Professionals may relocate for several years, families may establish a new home, and businesses may move people and equipment as they grow in the UAE. Each type of relocation comes with its own moving requirements.

New Career Opportunities

A new job, promotion, or international assignment can make the UAE your next destination. Many professionals relocate as part of their company’s international operations.

Growing a Business

The UAE is a major destination for companies looking to establish or expand their presence in the Middle East. Business owners may relocate offices, employees, equipment, or other business assets.

Joining Family

A spouse, partner, or family member already living in the UAE may be the reason for your move. Depending on your situation, you may be relocating a few personal belongings or an entire household.

International Education

Students and families may relocate for universities, international schools, or other educational opportunities. Longer stays may also mean bringing more of the belongings you need for everyday life.

Starting a New Chapter

For some people, the decision is simply about building a new life in a different country. The UAE’s international communities and modern cities can make it an appealing destination for people planning a significant change.

Shipping Options for Moving to the UAE From the USA

The right shipping arrangement depends on the size of your move, the type of belongings you’re taking, and how quickly you need them in the UAE. Nilson Van and Storage can help you choose an approach that fits your relocation.

Ocean Freight: For larger household, commercial, or equipment shipments, ocean freight is a practical option for moving belongings from the USA to the UAE.

SERIOUSLY the NICEST people ever. Between the three ladies that packed the house and the two gentlemen who loaded the truck. Everyone was outstanding, considerate of our items and kind.

We are being moved by the army so we don’t have much say so on who we get but I’m so happy we were placed with this company!

If you want a moving company that keeps you informed, is friendly, and goes above and beyond for all your moving needs, look no further than Nilson Van and Storage, an agent for Mayflower. Jim completed my estimate in my home and he was incredibly kind and easy to work with. Cindy, my moving coordinator, kept me informed every step of the way and was always willing to answer any questions I had. She continues to follow up even after the move was complete! Melvin was the driver and in charge of the days of the move and delivery days. Melvin and his team were careful and considerate of my personal items and ensured the move was smooth and as least stressful it could be. I will be sure to use Nilson Van and Storage for any moving needs and I recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Nilson Van and Storage did a wonderful job helping us move from their customer service to the move itself. Karen did a wonderful job through out the consultation and ensuring all our questions were answered in regards to packing. Theresa made sure to follow up all throughout the process, making sure everything was taken care of prior to the crew arriving to even after, which was very much needed in the chaos of moving! And of course Stanley and his crew were amazing! Even after being stuck in traffic with delays they did not waste a single minute getting all of our items on the truck for transit. All of our items arrived in great shape, and the guys made sure everything was placed exactly where we wanted it! I am so glad we went with their company, it made our move hastle free!

We were assigned Nilson for our military international move a few months ago. They moved our household goods and our unaccompanied baggage and did an amazing job. They were very friendly, packed everything with care, and were very thorough with their labeling of the boxes. Our whole house was packed and ready to go within two days! I want to call out Ty specifically, he made the process so much easier than it could have been and was great about answering all of my questions!

Half our experience was fine but when they packed our kitchen up we told them to not pack two cupboards and they did. One those cupboards had our dog's prescription food so we had to go through boxes to find.

Wow! This was my Wife’s and I first big move using a moving company, and Angie, Ty, and Kayla exceeded every expectation we had. Ty talked me through every part of the move, showed me the truck, and told me exactly how the unpackers should handle our stuff. Kayla took me through all the paperwork and ensured every single item we had was accounted for and tagged with a corresponding number so we can track it all once we get to our unpacking portion. Angie worked incredibly fast and took extra care of every plate and cup in the kitchen to ensure every item was individually wrapped and secured before packing it. All three of these incredible movers never made assumptions about items and asked along the way if we wanted certain things packed… thanks again Ty, Angie, and Kayla- y’all were amazing!
