Brett Lee relocates to Dubai with family, begins new chapter

Brett Lee has officially relocated to Dubai with his family, marking a significant personal and professional transition announced in February 2026. After years of frequent visits for work commitments, the former Australian fast bowler said the city’s energy, ambition, and lifestyle ultimately inspired him to make it his permanent home.

A new chapter in the city of gold

Describing the move as the beginning of his “next chapter,” Lee explained that the decision was driven by a desire for a balanced lifestyle and a dynamic, multicultural community. While he remains proud of his Australian roots, he said Dubai offers a unique blend of opportunity and comfort for his family.

Family first

Lee shared that his children are “thriving” in Dubai’s “fantastic” schools and enjoying the wide range of sporting activities available across the city. From cricket academies to world-class training facilities, he noted that the environment supports both academic and athletic growth.

Professional growth

On the professional front, Lee has taken on a major new role as Global Ambassador for Danube Properties, one of the UAE’s leading real estate developers. His appointment signals a strategic collaboration as the company continues to expand its presence in the region’s competitive property market.

Community and lifestyle

The former pacer cited Dubai’s safety, high-quality infrastructure, and premium leisure offerings as key factors behind the smooth transition. Iconic destinations such as Emirates Golf Club reflect the city’s world-class lifestyle appeal, he added.

Though he says he will always proudly call Australia home in his heart, Lee encouraged others to experience Dubai’s “limitless possibilities” at least once, describing it as a city that blends ambition with opportunity.
