Stay in RAK, work in Dubai. What do you think?

So I am almost coming to the end of my current tenancy contract in Dubai. I have been living in the same apartment for 3 years and now I am considering moving out of Dubai (yes, completely out). This is not to save on rent, but purely because I need a break from the busy city i.e. Dubai. </p> <p>Abu Dhabi would have been my preferred choice because I love that city and in spite of being the big sprawling Capital, after the peak hours and during weekends, everything and everyone is so chill. Also it&#39;s less touristy than Dubai. </p> <p>But lately I have been hearing a lot of people commuting to Dubai from Ras Al Kaimah. Reasons why I think I will like it in RAK:</p> <ul> <li><p>Shorter commute to Dubai than Abu Dhabi. I only work on average 16 days a month (a mix of weekdays and weekends, days and nights. Shift work, bruh). So I won&#39;t be coming to Dubai every weekday. </p></li> <li><p>The areas of Al Hamrah, Marjan Island and Mina Al Arab is what I think would be ideal for me. Definitely more upmarket and hence, expensive, than central RAK but it&#39;s fairly new area and closer to Dubai. Very easily accessible from E311 without going thru any city traffic. Each way commute without major traffic shouldn&#39;t be taking more than an hour.</p></li> <li><p>Since I will be coming to Dubai for work, if there&#39;s anything that needs to get done in Dubai can easily be covered in those days.</p></li> <li><p>Mountains. And RAK has lots of it. I am a huge fan of nature and hiking. While summer won&#39;t be ideal, but I definitely see myself enjoying them during my days off in the cooler months. Also why I would like to get out of Dubai.</p></li> <li><p>Unlike Sharjah and Ajman, RAK seems to be trying to get more attention on the world stage. And I doubt there&#39;s ever a traffic jam in RAK, unlike Sharjah and Ajman. I am also guessing that everyday expenses like grocery will work out a little bit cheaper in the long run, than Dubai.</p></li> </ul> <p>What do you all think? Any major change that I have overlooked? If I decide to try it out, I&#39;ll still stay for a minimum one year.</p> <p>The biggest one I can think of is going to and from the airport in Dubai. Because I get a lot of days off, I tend to make short trips for leisure every now and then. If I can find a way to park my car in Dubai for a few days while I jet out, it should be fine.</p> <p>Edit: Forgot to mention, I am single. So no kids&#39; schools or wife&#39;s work to worry about.
