I think the speed issue is exaggerated. The folk I know who lived there run‌ 100% online businesses and didn't find it that bad.

A lot of East-West Internet traffic‍ routes through NSA...sorry I mean GCHQ....sorry I mean The Gulf.
 
Speed isn't latency.

Speed is how fast you drive your car. Latency is how fast‌ you get in and out of the car.
Speed is the water pressure in your‍ shower. Latency is how long it takes for water to start flowing each time you⁠ turn on and off the shower.
Speed is how strong your AC is. Latency is⁤ how long it takes to reach your desired temperature.

There are probably better explanations, like⁣ Latency vs. Speed , IQrouter

Most people won't notice high latency. It has little to⁢ no impact for how most people use the internet. You can live on the ISS︀ and run a half-decent online business. But because latency sensitive issues like screen scraping and︁ proxies were mentioned in the original post, it's something that can make UAE unlivable for︂ some and worth bringing up.
 
I'm not talking about drop shipping widgets. Think pure online such as arb.‌ You really do not want latency or you'll lose money.

There is no one low-latency‍ location. I'm not arbing ads any more but for example in crypto you could not⁠ just pick one datacentre location to trade on say Binance, Bittrex and Poloniex with good⁤ latency. The Special Theory of Relativity limits you according to physical distance.
 
From what︀ I know, your best structure would be: PORTUGAL as a personal residency (it's also pretty︁ easy to get residency by investing some bucks or just moving there and staying there.︂ You'll enjoy very low taxes and awesome sunshine and food and lifestyle)+ CYPRUS for your︃ company =NOT 0% but pretty close. They got treaties so it's a highly advised structure︄ for corporate tax dividends and personal income tax, it's one of the best choices in︅ EU. And it's really easy to do it if you can move.
 
Cyprus company with an IP Box, and non dom tax residency. 60 days per year‌ requirements to be here, your effective tax will be less than 3% if done properly.‍
 
100% agree and I⁢ would also add that I just love how the same people calling the EU a︀ dictatorship in one thread, are pushing everybody to move to an ACTUAL dictatorship (UAE) in︁ another thread.
