So we have been living in an illusion in the past decade, believing that Dubai is the most expensive city in the Arab world. It has been proved as a misconception by the highly credible Economist Intelligence Unit who have carried out a global survey on the living expenses in 128 countries in the world compared to incomes. The results were published in a recent feature in the London-based Al Sharq Al Awsat newspaper and they plce Amman as the most expensive Arab city at the global position (70) beating Dubai to that title (71). The third expensive Arab city was Casablanca (80) followed by Abu Dhabi (82) and Manama (82).
The most expensive city in the world is Oslo the capital of Norway which beat Tokyo and Rijkiavik as the cities that will rip your money off. The least expensive city in the world is Tehran while the least expensive in the Arab world is Tripoli. So, who says the economies of Libya and Iran are not social-friendly?
