Yep. I was in dubai for 16 years. I bought off plan a property between dubai and Abu Dhabi. This was just before the US caused a global financial tsunami. I had put down a large deposit and the rest was financed. The developer stopped building and the banks kept asking me to disburse stage payments which wasn’t their job to do as they just wanted me to pay more so they could charge more interest. I had to go to lawyers to get the developer and the greedy bank to cease and desist hassling me because they had built zero. It took me 4 years to get a property and I lost $200k. I made it all back and worked hard and then some. That’s the downside of dubai where there’s no protection. The upside is that the money was amazing and the lifestyle fantastic but that was between 2004-2017 when I was there. I recently travelled back from NZ for a years contract and hated it, all my mates had left and the crowd is full of plastic influencer garbage and very shallow people. I loved dubai but I never will forgive those in Abu Dhabi that screwed over so many investors. They were evil.

I worked there for almost 4 years and the working environment is a hell specially on food and beverages, restaurants or hotels.. accomodation also is a problem

Most non-Arab people think that Dubai is a country, they do not even know that Dubai is a region in a country called the Emirates.

‼️Dubai today is 44 degrees, it is seen as 53 degrees on the phone... While driving on the road, I was talking to my wife about the lack of air conditioning, the windows were closed but it was still not cold enough inside the car, then the bus carrying the construction workers passed us and I was very upset and ashamed of myself., the people in the bus look like they are dying from the heat, no one is smiling, all the windows of the bus are open so the air conditioner is not working or there is no air conditioning, this is an embarrassing system... UEA trying to make everything flashy, trying to make everything perfect, the ministry of labor or the royal unaware of it or It is very sad that it is careless or does not bring a certain standard...

The rent in Dubai is not 10 grand per month unless you want to live right below Burj Khalifa. I live in Dubai and Barsha heights which is an extremely nice area has a rent of 120k per year for two bedroom apartment, that's roughly $32k per year.

Glad to learn about these facts. Dubai looks like a nice place to visit.

Many years ago my usa former supervisor moved to Puerto Rico . Sadly he passed away after a few years.

But Dubai and the UAE have long been the subject of complaints of mistreatment of workers. Migrant workers say they often face brutal conditions, shifts of 12 hours or more, and that companies withhold paychecks or workers' passports so as not to let them quit or return home.


I myself face the same when I was working there then I suffered from ptsd

If you buy and sell crypto in Dubai, do you need to declare UAE taxes on it?
Or is free to buy and sell whenever you want?

I mean I was raised in Abu Dhabi my hole life and recently just moved idk about Dubai’s living life but Abu Dhabi Is just the bes

[nicolassarich]

you gave me the main reasons to move ASAP to Dubai.

[FransceneJK]

I wouldn’t move there knowing slavery is a daily normal thing there and most employers take your passports too.

[kevinfarmer]

Still cheaper than San Francisco, London, or New York.

I disagree about the rent in Dubai being 10k.

There are plenty of apartments for rent in the heart of the city for under 50k AED/year. (Under 1k/month)

Thank you for your video. (1) of course as a foreigner you don’t expect the government to look after you (2) if you are moving to Dubai from another country, you are likely not on a tight budget and (3) if you are racist you have no business being here. Dubai is perhaps the safest city over million people in the world and has an incredible and welcoming government that is why we are here.

[LizTate-ivnb]

After watching this I can honestly say that I still wish to go and live there.

[EliteExpat]

Rent is much cheaper than these prices in Dubai. These are the very premium properties asking such ridiculous amounts.

As expat, you have to pay almost everywhere for your own insurance 🤔

[siemabyq]

I rather pay for my insurance than pay 23% tax for whole life like in poland where i live
