The Dark Side of Dubai - The Dubai They Don't Want You to See or Know | Full Documentary

Many see DUBAI as the “capital of the future”, but there is a side that few know about. A HIDDEN side, where gold crumbles into dust and glamor gives way to a harsh, suffocating reality.

That place is called Sonapur.

For most visitors, it's just an unknown name, a spot off the tourist map.

But for thousands of migrant workers, Sonapur is the very definition of survival.

Today Bello Mundo will take you to see this visceral contrast between two Dubais: one where luxury shines brightly, and another where the struggle for the basics is a constant.

This documentary sheds light on the hidden truths behind Dubai's glittering facade. While the city boasts luxury and modernity, the dark side reveals shocking realities—homeless migrant workers struggling to survive, exploited labor, and a growing gap between the rich and the poor. It’s a side of Dubai that needs to be seen and understood.

I am thankful to you that you exposed the reality of residents in dubai. Tourists are temporary. They stay on the luxurious area but they don’t know the reality of dubai .

"I worked in Dubai and it was a terrible experience. The heat was unbearable, often reaching over 40°C, and the long hours were exhausting. The lack of proper worker rights and support made it even worse. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone!"

Dubai is often seen as a symbol of luxury and modernity, but this documentary really sheds light on the hidden side of the city. It's eye-opening to see the realities of labor conditions, inequality, and the pressures behind the glamorous facade. A must-watch for anyone wanting to understand the full picture of Dubai.

We know very well that Dubai, and the UAE in general, is a hell on earth. We know that all foreign workers living in Arab countries are subjected to human suffering, are denied their rights, and work long hours for little pay. We know what kind of dirty labor housing their employers provide to their workers. Dubai and all Arab countries are hell on earth.

Who else watched the whole video just to see the cover photo scene 😂

That’s why the people living in slum in bangladesh have better life than the workers of dubai. The arab don’t consider them as human. They think they are worse than a slave

I used to work in Dp worlds port of jebel Ali with a company called world security as port labourer with a basic salary of 900 dirhams plus overtime which was not guarantee 1100dirhams total that small money you have to buy yourself food and still save, we suffered alot and the work was hard and risky to handling cargo inside those massive ships in the gulf summer heat. When we used to complain the Emirati boss told us we will be deported and bring another workers the same day 😢

Dubai....the rich get richer, the poor get poorer

[christianmpassi]

I have read and heard a lot about these stories that's why I would NEVER want to spend a single minute in Dubai.

[kabirijulius]

The narrator has exhaustively explained the reality in Dubai i salute him, only that some people won't understand him due to their arrivalism

[annkk]

I travelled few times to Dubai on business trips, while based in Kuwait, however Dubai did not impress me. It is scorching hot in summer, the traffic is horrendous, the locals are just spoilt brats showing off their luxury lifestyle while exploiting the poor laborers from Third World. It is all totally artificial and soulless.

[gprastogi]

Thanks a lot for exposing the dark side of Dubai. It was an eye opener.

[yohannesaradom]

This is Slavery Imperialism (Imperialism of Slavery) in Dubai. In the 21st century this should've been illegal and should not have existed at all. The world should condemned the leaders who allowed this to exist. This is a disgraceful for the leaders; the so called leaders aren't human beings to allow this.
The Bello Mundo - EN, I give you credit for showing this documentary to the world to see it. Having so much wealth and this to happen in Dubai is disappointing and disgusting. This video should be distributed around the whole world and see the Evil System /Haram in Dubai.
I give you great credit documenting this. I will dig if I can see more of this kind news in Dubai and the country at large.

[satwindersetia]

This is reality of many many places in Indian metro too. Hard, but true fact. Well presented vid.

[morabah]

U forgot to mention prositution. Need a full documentary about that .

[aminumohammed-lf]

The government of Dubai have to do something about it so that they will increase the salary of the workers 😢
