The UAE is one of the world most connected aviation hubs, with Dubai International Airport (DXB) serving as a gateway to over 200 destinations. Grenada CARICOM membership and growing tourism economy have contributed to its favorable bilateral visa profile. The UAE is a major destination for Caribbean professionals working in hospitality, finance, and construction, as well as for leisure travelers drawn to Dubai luxury and Sharjah culture.
