A quarter of UAE residents take luxury items for granted as part of their lifestyle, a recent global survey has found.
Only one in five people, or 35 percent of UAE respondents, said luxury was “over and above what you need”, the Synovate survey of 8,000 people in 11 countries found.
This attitude comes from the large number of designer shops, high-end hotels and plush shopping malls in the emirates, said Per-Henrik Karlsson, Synovate’s business development director in Dubai.
