Two things to consider is that: if you're planning to move for to Germany long-term, you could aim for citizenship in a few years giving you easy EU access (+ many other countries). On the other hand, Germany is one of the annoying countries which don't do dual citizenships - you could be forced to drop the Pakistani one. (not the case for the UK, for example)

> - 24 holidays per year

This is the minimum you have to get for full-time employment in Germany. In many companies you can negotiate more. (worth noting for the future)

I don't know much about Dubai, but from what I understand you'd also have much more to do in Germany. Easier travel to interesting places as well, since you can't throw a rock around there without hitting something historic.

20 days are minimum. 24 only applies when you're working 6 days/week.

Generally, I'd expect 30 days. That's still the norm.

24 screams "startup" or "we struggled to offer that salary, so we're compensating with less holiday".
