The Great Slovak Invasion: How Many Slovaks Are Actually Living in Dubai?
Dubai: a land of luxury shopping, towering skyscrapers, and...Slovaks? You might be surprised to learn that this Middle Eastern metropolis is becoming a bit of a secret hotspot for our friends from Slovakia. But just how many Slovaks are we talking about? Buckle up, because we're about to dive into the fascinating, and slightly perplexing, world of Slovakian Dubai migration.

Where Did All These Slovaks Come From?
Nobody really knows for sure. Maybe they all got a collective dream about tax-free living and the world's tallest building? One theory is that Dubai's booming property market has something to do with it. Apparently, Slovaks are the new kings and queens of snapping up desert apartments, according to a recent news article (with the possibly embellished headline "Slovaks Outspend Everyone in Dubai Real Estate...Except Maybe Dragons").
Another theory involves a particularly enthusiastic travel agent who convinced an entire Slovakian village that Dubai was basically a giant water park with robots. Look, no judgement, that sounds like a pretty sweet vacation destination to me.
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
So, How Many Slovaks Are There Really?
This is where things get murky. There are no official statistics on Slovakian residents in Dubai (shocking, I know). The best we have is a news report from a few years back estimating between 3,000 and 4,000 Slovaks living in the UAE. However, with all this fancy apartment buying, that number could be much higher now. Maybe they're multiplying like camels in a date orchard?
Important Note: If you ever find yourself in Dubai and hear a hearty "Do zobaczenia!" (that's Slovakian for "See you later!"), don't be alarmed. It's probably just your friendly neighborhood Slovakian investment banker/robot theme park enthusiast.
Tip: Skim once, study twice.
Fun Facts About Slovaks in Dubai (Because Why Not?)
- They probably have a Slovak food truck serving up the national delicacy, Bryndzov� halu�ky (potato dumplings with sheep cheese).
- There's definitely a Slovak football (soccer) supporters club that meets up to watch games (and maybe reminisce about the good old days).
- The national anthem of Slovakia is probably played unironically at least once a week.
