Having lived in Dubai for several years and having been in a relationship with a white girl, I've seen both sides of the equation. I am Indian by the way. Your salary in Dubai is almost always tied to your nationality/race. Unless you are in a company that prides itself in being an equal opportunities style of employer, you will definitely get paid lesser than colleagues from more developed countries. But this distinction doesn't just apply to brown vs. white or black vs. arab, etc. My girlfriend (Spanish) was at a director level position of a small startup. One of her subordinates was British. Subordinate was paid more than the director. It happens in Dubai. Salary segregation in Dubai leads to racial segregation for the most part. Different people can afford to do different things. I'm not sure if these rough tier's apply for general salaries in Dubai but here's where you stand in the 'nationality pay scale': 1. British/American 2. Arab from Saudi/Oman/UAE/etc. 3. Other Western Europeans (Germany/Portugal/France/etc.) 4. Lebanese 5. Malaysian/Thai/Other more developed Asian countries (Taiwan for example..) 6. Filipino/Indian 7. Pakistani/Bangladeshi/Syrian (country with any level of turmoil/desperation) 8. African countries I might have messed up some of the tier's above but this is pretty much how it works. Uncontrolled, unregulated capitalism. The basic rule in this entirely racist scheme appears to be that you can expect to be paid about twice of what you may earn in your own country. Hence, the economic development of where you come from greatly affects the final salary you may be able to negotiate. Of course, as most Indians in Dubai are blue collar workers (they get treated very badly, by the way), you will pretty much be regarded as 'poor'. Even if you aren't. It's just a very prevalent stereotype in the arab world. White = Rich. Brown = Poor. There are plenty of broad minded people in Dubai, no doubt about that at all. You'll be able to find friends who don't wear their race on their sleeves. You'll meet several people who will also look at you weird if you're brown and in a 'posh' place. You may also be denied entrance into some clubs, etc. Dubai is racism at it's finest. There is no hidden racism in Dubai. Maybe that could be seen as a small positive. It's all blatant in your face, you suck because of your skin color kind of racism. But you're asking about how it's like. If you can get past all the blatant racism, you'll earn a higher salary than India and may lead a good lifestyle. I would've definitely counted myself as upper middle class in Dubai but I would not go back there for a million dollars. There were times where me and my girlfriend went out for dinner and the staff were all "Hello Ma'am, how are you today Ma'am ?" and I'd joke with her "What about Sir ?". Once at this restaurant called Fuddruckers where you order burgers and once they arrive you can go and fill up some toppings at a 'toppings bar' the lady came up and said "Ma'am you can now go and get some toppings". We were there, 5 Indian guys, and 1 white girl. I looked at my girlfriend and said "Baby, I guess you should pick up some toppings for us too". We all laughed and went to get toppings, but this is pretty much commonplace. There were times we even got sick of this kind of behavior. Once in Caribou Coffee I was there with my girlfriend and two other white ladies. I was standing right across the cash counter, waiting to order for everyone when the lady at the counter looked to my left (where the white people were sparkling in the sunlight, excuse my sarcasm) and said "Good afternoon Ma'am, what would you like to have ?"). My girlfriend got so annoyed she said "And good afternoon Sir, no ?". That shut her up. Some people like to downplay racism in Dubai but having been with someone of a different race, I got to see it in a very blatant but technical A/B testing sort of way. I've traveled and lived in about 40 countries. I've never been to a country more openly racist than the UAE so far. (I haven't lived in any other arab countries though..) I have to add though that racial violence isn't a part of the equation at all. I never felt unsafe (well, brown people outnumber everyone else in Dubai..), or even, threatened in any way. For an Indian, you'll just have constant not-so-subtle 'reminders' that you are 'inferior'. If you can deal with that (and the millions of Indians in Dubai certainly seem to be able to deal with it..) then Dubai will be fine for you.
@@malikkelly Yeah!!! This is the harsh reality which nobody dares to speak of. By the way are you half Asian and half Westerner? Guessing by your name.

They used the money they got from the oil discovered in 1966 to fund their projects allowing them to get rich. You think without the oil money they would be able to fund all those projects and lure investors in?
Ive just finished my one week trip in UAE and i can day that Dubai is a cheat code.That place keeps building,building and building.Not planning to stop anytime soon
Oybek Niyazov buildings need to match with demand for development. Or, like Dubai right now, 50% of all properties are vacant. This seems pointless and they’re digging their own grave.
Wow, we can learn a lot from Dubai's incredible success! I'm from the Republic of Zambia, in Southern Africa. We hold the second largest copper mine in the world, yet are the 10th or so poorest country on Earth. Natural resources will only take you so far. Sustainable economics requires a more innovative, open mindset, and the UAE is a shining demonstration of this reality. In college, my roommate, a close friend, and I once had a debate about what policies were holding the country back economically, and I remember him (my roommate) saying, "...it's not about what's right or wrong. It's about what works." I'm sure there's something worth learning here. Wonderful video, CNBC International, I found it very insightful. Greetings from Michigan!
There's definitely something worth learning here. Copper is a cheap resource that is available in abundance. Crude oil and gas are not. Not all natural resources are created the same. Maybe take notes from the country you live in on how to build the world's largest economy rather than looking for lessons from an Arab shithole with an uneducated populace that needs foreign labor to get anything done.
Your government didnt tie those mining companies with enough tax that's why ur country's money running out instead of coming in. Same with that country with diamonds. Dubai "tied" their business partners, they must have Dubai partners to open up a business. They get more tax on top of their oil.
nothing funnier than a white person talking about slavery when their civilization is built on stealing Africans resources and shipping 10+million to norther America to do the hard work
someone nah the people who built America and Other majority White countries outside of Europe were white people. You clearly don't know any history. I mean I'm not saying that what they did was right but I mean at least their society isn't dependent and completly built by slaves. And at least they don't have slaves anymore.

Usman Ali no minimum wage + working in slave labor like conditions could be the reason. Where you live and how much you make per hour determines it. I live in the us, and I’m 17. I have two jobs and make $30 and hour. So I’m doing pretty good so far but it still isn’t enough for myself to live comfortably.
Probably $100 an hour to get along where I live? I'm guessing? I mean the bay area in california has ridiculously high housing prices. I could get the same house in georgia or tennessee with the same view for about $240,000. So $130,000 a year to live comfortably where I live. But its different in different parts of the state, and states. Sorry for the late reply/
Easy answer, by having a great visionary leader when it mattered most. Many doubters would have said to him, it will never work, all of whom lacked vision.
Mr Cruzih2000 You are right, Britons didn’t invade most of the world; themselves alongside the French & the Spaniards didn’t enslave Africans and wipe off aboriginal people in the New World... All the Sudden the West was rich just because of their own brilliance not their forced IMMIGRATION OFFSHORE with Bomb’s and guns
5000 years ago: Arabs get rich from trade 2000 years ago: Arabs get rich from trade 1500 years ago: Arabs get rich from trade 1000 years ago: Arabs get rich from trade 500 years ago: Arabs get rich from trade Today: Arabs get rich from trade
I have so much respect for the sheikh who invested in building Dubai. He may not have thought about his country but his own wealth, but his ideas... and the results... Damn a man with a vision. Though it is built upon slavery...
This was very informative and insightful. As I'm turning to study emerging markets, this is definitely motivating me and arousing my interest about global economies! The British UAE deal definitely explains a lot of the country's modernization. Thanks! Do hour long biographies like this!
For all people who are that are saying negative comments about india labour class in dubai shut up, indians and arabs are close to each other and indians prefer living in our country, since it benefits them financially batter than their own country, also there are many mixed indian and arab in the uae. More than 20% of the students in my class are half indian and emarati.
I was 12 years in Dubai and yes it’s expensive however I came to Auckland and it’s just as expensive especially groceries. No jobs here so I am going back to Dubai at least there I know I can earn a good wage.
Overall and Most valuable advice from this video is to invest in assets... because the segregation between the rich and poor is wide. Real estate and ETFs is the reason for my robust portfolio and investment size, I make €27k after compounding profits. My goal is to build a solid financial statement.
@@skiran69 are u dumb did you watch the video they are investing all the money they got from oil into infra structure.now they have tourists from all over the world. Compared to saudi and kuwait they don't have that many oil reserves
great leaders... did you skip the part where it is mentioned about the (huge) low cost pay-check, no contract, no vacations, no insurance and treated like garbage construction workers ? I'm sorry but your definition of leadership is very bad.
Dedicating this video to all those who are saying Dubai is rich only by the use of oil money and will run out soon. Dubai's development is unstoppable. It is one of the great tourist destination and business hub in the world and still growing.
lol. It's not on anyone's list of dream destinations and it's nowhere in the league of New York, London, Tokyo, Singapore, or Hong Kong in terms of business. What it is, is a convenient stopover when people are flying between important parts of the world.
Alisher Salimov Haters are always gonna hate, I came to Dubai over a decade ago and I’m doing really well. People who haven’t even been here are slamming Dubai. It’s called progress if they don’t want to visit Dubai because they don’t like something of its history then they better stay home as EVERY country has a history including there own.
I once rented a car for a 200 km journey. The driver boasted about his relatives driving for rich people in Dubai. They consider it a prestigious foreign job. Because the salary is good. Said he wanted to go there too but doesn't have a passport.
To all those who are commenting "Slaves is the reason." Slaves don't matter much if the ruler didn't had a vision. When monarchy was popular, kings had millions of slaves but lacked ambition and planning. Don't satisfy your ego with criticism.
Yes, Dubai is safe for tourists. ... The crime rate in Dubai is much lower than comparable countries in other regions in the world. Public transport in the city is clean, safe, and monitored, and traveling on it doesn't pose a threat to traveler

Marietta I: Slavery has been happening WAY BEFORE the US were even a thing and it has been practiced WAY MORE intensively than it was in the US, to say...
Well to be honest, they gave overpaid jobs to foreigners but treated them bad. But u can be a software engineer in China or India and believe me you'll implode! Those companies will suck everything outta you. But you'll be paid well.
auross jenulf Moneda yes, but not just the expats. The leadership’s vision was the main reason. Who allowed expats in , in the first place? Look around and you will find countries, though richer in Natural resources, with people below poverty line. Though their leaders have wealth, they are corrupted , spending that money to make a mess in other countries to weaken other countries rather than spending it in their own country and on their people or expats.
On every single places at Dubai there has a sweat and hard work of a Keralite. We're in the every single part of Dubai's growth like company CEOs, High level workers secondary level workers business magnets, government officials etc etc etc. We consider Dubai is the 15th District of Kerala We Malabaries always love the place 😍😍
@Pichkalu Pappita Oh really if we have job and good salary here then why we wanna go to other countries for work. According to the ILO (International Labour Organisation) 20 million Indians are unemployed. If you have the real guts ask the Same question to the Indian government, not to me.
@Pichkalu Pappita lu Pappita Maybe you're right that you didn't saw any job shortage in India. But India have a huge population here is not enough jobs for all citizens. Every job has it's own value, but if I'm an MBA holder how I'll go to building work, If I'm an MBBS graduate how I'll work as an engineer. Indian education system is too bad. Unemployment and Underemployment is the major issue of this country. You said you didn't saw any job shortage in India but ILO says India has a huge unemployment rate. Which statement will people believe, yours or ILO's?And also one thing everyone is patriotic,but as a good citizen do not try to hide your sins. We must accept it and find ways to do it
There are 4 conditions a country has to fulfill to get the status of a 'Developed' nation. Its: 1. GDP 2. Per capita income 3. Infrastructure 4. Level of education of the locals While counting developed countries, people always tend to leave out UAE and other Gulf countries. Which criteria do you think they don't fulfill?
Just some correction on thr info provided in the video. Withholding passports have been banned by law in Dubai since 2006. Reforms in labor law as well as labor camp conditions including regular government inspections to ensure standards are met have been imposed since 2010. In 2017 Dubai has passed a law to ban even courts from withholding passports, as well as a law for equal pay for equal work.
It was bailed out by Abu Dhabi a few years back after it went broke. There's not much oil there. They did a good job of diversifying but extensive leveraging is not a good idea in a contracting economy. Merely builds up the debt with all that unproductive assets.
That's key, they discovered oil but the money obtained selling the oil was used to invest in infrastructure and companies, and now the result is one the most modern cities in the world. Good leadership
Dubai got rich due to trade & finance unlike the rest of the UAE & the rich Gulf countries, which rely on oil & gas and good strategies & planning from the UAE leadership, it's as simple as that! Also, another reason Dubai got so rich is that Dubai & UAE's economy relies on foreign workers from Asian countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Philippines, and others, without foreign workers from Asia, the economy will not function or even collapse.
Smart man.. only a rich man think like that:) I applaud you. I'm From Somaliland and we let DP world run our Berbar Port..Dubia; Ambitious Muslim Country!!
They have a large south Asian workforce that works for low wages and in dangerous conditions and withhold workers' passports so they can't return home. So yeah, it is a pretty crazy vision.
Goran Farkas boring , soulless and artificial is not the best way to describe e this city but to describe you, there is never a dull moment here in Dubai and everywhere you look you can admire the beautiful architecture.......if you don’t believe me come and take a look ....I’d be happy to tour you around the city ;) =)
Success is dependent on the action or steps you take to achieve it. Show me a man who doesn't have an investment and I will tell you how soon he'll go broke. Investment is building a safe haven for the future: with the right choice of investment that has at least 1% minimum risk and with an Expert guidance, profit and interest should be 💯 guaranteed.
Speaking of investing, forex trading is the best business in the world right now with the ever raising amount of bitcoin. I know a couple of friends who makes a lot of money weekly trading the financial market
If Egypt make a good infra structures in Suaz canal and develop it to a free zone then Dubai will collapse faster than it grows, but UAE is fighting this project.
I'm planning to visit there in middle of 2018. Dubai and Abu Dhabi also have different great luxurious place to live in. Working salary is twice exactly the same as Hong Kong if you work there with better grade job. But around the world is larger, I need to explore more about it before making decision.
They purposely failed to mention it was the British and United States that were primarily responsible for the slavery involved in the construction. The UAE had responsibility in it as well since they have been extremely active in slaves taken from Africa for centuries. I've seen it and was both amazed and disgusted after spending a month there.
Oh really, you pulled that historical story from your ass? UAE did not exist centuries ago, only one tribe lived here over 100 years ago (Bani Yas) and they were isolated. They only enslaved other Arabs, not Africans.
Jack Tate you're not looking deep enough or you're a troll for CNBC. Watch this video and search for the others on how migrant workers from India and other places were paid nothing and we're tricked into borrowing money from family and friends before they left their countries to pay up to $5,000 for jobs that they never earned the $5,000 fee back. They were tricked into believing they would earn several times the amount they were paying for being allowed to work. th-cam.com/video/A6_a_xZyiHQ/w-d-xo.html
Jack Tate you sound like a slave owner yourself. How many people from India, Africa and other countries have you taken advantage of and called it your hard work? You make yourself feel good about the lie that they are better off in Dubai because the wages in India are less. While you British, Russian and American's extract excessive margins on the backs of migrant workers that you've tricked into making you rich. I'll lecture you and send links as long as you're alive and responding. A month is more than enough time to observe criminal activity. th-cam.com/video/q3rxdjq4Y9M/w-d-xo.html
I worked there once per month for several years selling blast resistant buildings. It’s cool how the economy is based on fossil fuels and banking/construction. They had a huge stone pearl near the cornice
I've been living in Dubai since many years always love it but nowadays it's way more to expensive and they have VAT in summers it's horrible winters are amazing
In my view, Few reasons Why Dubai is rich: 1: CHeap Labour from south Asian countries 2: Corruption in South Asian Countries ( corruption income flies to Dubai). 3: Indian invested nearly 20 billion dh in 2017 Pakistani invested 7 billion dh. 4: The rich people in Saudi Arabia invest in Dubai because of strict laws in Saudi Arabia. 5: Because of continuous unrest in the region, rich people migrate to Dubai.
That 2% figure is bullshit. They get money from oil or gas in some form and that combined with virtual slave labor allows the extravagant wealth of the country. Plus the sheikh borrowed shitloads of money from international investors who are going to get burned big time. But they do it to buy some political control in the mideast.
We the people of Indian subcontractor people always help and helping other countries to develop. . We are the people working all over the world working. .
The "secret" of Dubai is good leadership and lack of political opposition and corruption. If the countries who are genuinely rich would have that, the world would be a different place.
Not at all - unless you are ignorant to research or deaf to open your ears. Simple Answer: Strategy - Trade - Tourism - Finance AND giving a shit about your people so they are a 100% at ease - unlike you BITTER Brian.
Oil is probably going to be useless in another 50 or 100 years. Without other natural resources, growing manufacturing industries, and enough working-age populations, it is possible that Dubai is not going to maintain its luxurious lifestyle.
Tourism in Dubai is just caused by the Air Route Hub coz most long distance flights get a lay over there for refuel and that counts as a tourist so having said that lol . . . . there is almost nothing to do there unless watching man made waters/islands i better go to asian countries

Usman Ali no minimum wage + working in slave labor like conditions could be the reason. Where you live and how much you make per hour determines it. I live in the us, and I’m 17. I have two jobs and make $30 and hour. So I’m doing pretty good so far but it still isn’t enough for myself to live comfortably.
Jason Weber the question is how much is enough ???
Probably $100 an hour to get along where I live? I'm guessing? I mean the bay area in california has ridiculously high housing prices. I could get the same house in georgia or tennessee with the same view for about $240,000. So $130,000 a year to live comfortably where I live. But its different in different parts of the state, and states. Sorry for the late reply/
@Omar Nothing bud. Just stating facts. Actually, I was wrong, it is more like $65 an hour, as $130,000 a year = $65 an hour.
@wIdIt I never said it was a lot.
Easy answer, by having a great visionary leader when it mattered most. Many doubters would have said to him, it will never work, all of whom lacked vision.
By exploiting the poor and cheating the wealthy
True. But it doesn’t matter if your leader is a great visionary, if the USA and Uk say you are a dictator, you will be removed
Sadly leaders like them are really rare in Arab world, most of them are corrupt and involved in money laundering and other illegal activities.
Monarchy are corrupts

Q. How did Dubai get so rich ?
A. Cheap labour.
Ben Dover People choose to go to Dubai they haven’t been kidnapped and they have found there self there.
Ben Dover Q: how did the west got rich ?
A: Slavery
Mr Cruzih2000 You are right, Britons didn’t invade most of the world; themselves alongside the French & the Spaniards didn’t enslave Africans and wipe off aboriginal people in the New World... All the Sudden the West was rich just because of their own brilliance not their forced IMMIGRATION OFFSHORE with Bomb’s and guns
Mr Cruzih2000 its true
Trading as a free entreport like Hongkong & Singapore.

how did dubai get so rich?
2:03 lesson: no exploit, no prosperity
I have so much respect for the sheikh who invested in building Dubai. He may not have thought about his country but his own wealth, but his ideas... and the results... Damn a man with a vision. Though it is built upon slavery...
This was very informative and insightful. As I'm turning to study emerging markets, this is definitely motivating me and arousing my interest about global economies! The British UAE deal definitely explains a lot of the country's modernization. Thanks! Do hour long biographies like this!
Wow, UAE should be a great inspiration to any nation who wants prosperity.
They used oil money to fund it. Not every country has the windfall of oil.
It's not only the ideas or luck, it's their hardwork efforts from their forefathers.....
For all people who are that are saying negative comments about india labour class in dubai shut up, indians and arabs are close to each other and indians prefer living in our country, since it benefits them financially batter than their own country, also there are many mixed indian and arab in the uae. More than 20% of the students in my class are half indian and emarati.
yes but it's the worst place to live if you are poor 1st is dubai and the 2nd is saudi Arabia 🙏
FaShe - The Epic Network he’s trying to say that if you are born into poverty or lower class it will be hard because everything will be so expensive..
I was 12 years in Dubai and yes it’s expensive however I came to Auckland and it’s just as expensive especially groceries. No jobs here so I am going back to Dubai at least there I know I can earn a good wage.
Shumus Ali Raja I would love to agree with you but sorry mate I know few people they already experienced that situation
Akmal Ahmed Not all UAE citizens are rich. Rich make a minority of the entire population of any country
Akmal Ahmed No one in UAE is living below poverty line either i think
Overall and Most valuable advice from this video is to invest in assets... because the segregation between the rich and poor is wide. Real estate and ETFs is the reason for my robust portfolio and investment size, I make €27k after compounding profits. My goal is to build a solid financial statement.
I don't have minimum assest that is home .what should I do?
How can I get into investing in ETFs and Stocks from now so by next 10years I’m way ahead.
Look up videos on google or contact the trade analyst I work with.
Eddybruke.info
Don’t contact a trade analyst. This is 2020 get online and google. Stop paying these middle men for stuff you can do yourself.
they got good leaders who see the future they invested good they used what hey have to settle all the need that so good nice ,
Wait? From when is oil future?
@@skiran69 are u dumb did you watch the video they are investing all the money they got from oil into infra structure.now they have tourists from all over the world. Compared to saudi and kuwait they don't have that many oil reserves
great leaders... did you skip the part where it is mentioned about the (huge) low cost pay-check, no contract, no vacations, no insurance and treated like garbage construction workers ? I'm sorry but your definition of leadership is very bad.
Dedicating this video to all those who are saying Dubai is rich only by the use of oil money and will run out soon. Dubai's development is unstoppable. It is one of the great tourist destination and business hub in the world and still growing.
Abu Dhabi and other related Emirates.
lol. It's not on anyone's list of dream destinations and it's nowhere in the league of New York, London, Tokyo, Singapore, or Hong Kong in terms of business. What it is, is a convenient stopover when people are flying between important parts of the world.
Dubai have no Oil, but they have smart leader. The oil in Abu Dhabi. I think you were not listening to video carefully
The biggest reason is expats and slaves. If all expats and cheap labourers went tonight, Dubai would collapse
No,
Then why no one else can copy them????? like Somalia or Yemen.
Modern day slavery. I was there and will never go there ever again. People has no idea about the real picture in Dubai. It’s horrible.
sharif jahan agreed bro
Mohammed Mehdi thank you for agreeing brother.
sh*thole
sharif jahan Ya my friends been there, all Arab countries are shithole modern day slavery.
Alisher Salimov Haters are always gonna hate, I came to Dubai over a decade ago and I’m doing really well. People who haven’t even been here are slamming Dubai. It’s called progress if they don’t want to visit Dubai because they don’t like something of its history then they better stay home as EVERY country has a history including there own.
I once rented a car for a 200 km journey. The driver boasted about his relatives driving for rich people in Dubai. They consider it a prestigious foreign job. Because the salary is good. Said he wanted to go there too but doesn't have a passport.
To all those who are commenting "Slaves is the reason."
Slaves don't matter much if the ruler didn't had a vision. When monarchy was popular, kings had millions of slaves but lacked ambition and planning. Don't satisfy your ego with criticism.
Saksham Shrivastava oh boo...did someone offend your feudalist little heart
Yes, Dubai is safe for tourists. ... The crime rate in Dubai is much lower than comparable countries in other regions in the world. Public transport in the city is clean, safe, and monitored, and traveling on it doesn't pose a threat to traveler
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING US 💙💫🌎
I like how they actually went to every place they mentioned in the video.
"Hmm i wonder how they got so rich"
"Oil was discovered"
"Ah.. gotcha"
This is the consequence of a smart leader with a smart vision !

Thats what u call vision and smart management : Sheikh Radhid's vision from waay back in the day made Dubai one of the best places to live on 🌎
Mashallah, a man of visionary for sure. May Almighty bless long life with more vision to him. Amen
The modernization is at a higher cost. The work force and labour had to sacrifice their liberty.
There is no give without take.
The greatest Slavery pot in the modern history
blocksterz what??
I answered this the third time. 90% of workers here enjoy their life and had their salary multiply by ten. Indians make up a large percentage of the UAE and also make the best companies who are officially millionaires. So what do u call That
America?
blocksterz the greatest Slavery pot will always be the US. Period.
Marietta I: Slavery has been happening WAY BEFORE the US were even a thing and it has been practiced WAY MORE intensively than it was in the US, to say...
Marietta I the Arab Slave Trade involved millions more people and lasted for way longer than the Atlantic Slave Trade.
I love learning about this stuff
one of the richest, one of the worst place to be a worker. lol
Well to be honest, they gave overpaid jobs to foreigners but treated them bad. But u can be a software engineer in China or India and believe me you'll implode! Those companies will suck everything outta you. But you'll be paid well.
I live in Miri where oil was first found in Sarawak/Malaysia but the so called city status of Miri was nowhere near like Dubai. How weird. 😁
Bcos corrupt government and mahathir lol
After 2 years, still the same huh? 🙂 Malaysia Boleh 🙌
Cheapest labour & full tax are main sources of uae so rich ! 👊richer are richest & poor are poorest !
nabin lama full tax?
Taxes (VAT) has just been interduced by Jan 2018.
Expats are the resources of the country.. that’s the real thing nowadays
auross jenulf Moneda yes, but not just the expats. The leadership’s vision was the main reason. Who allowed expats in , in the first place? Look around and you will find countries, though richer in Natural resources, with people below poverty line. Though their leaders have wealth, they are corrupted , spending that money to make a mess in other countries to weaken other countries rather than spending it in their own country and on their people or expats.
nabin lama you dumb as hell
On every single places at Dubai there has a sweat and hard work of a Keralite. We're in the every single part of Dubai's growth like company CEOs, High level workers secondary level workers business magnets, government officials etc etc etc. We consider Dubai is the 15th District of Kerala
We Malabaries always love the place 😍😍
@Pichkalu Pappita
Oh really if we have job and good salary here then why we wanna go to other countries for work. According to the ILO (International Labour Organisation) 20 million Indians are unemployed. If you have the real guts ask the Same question to the Indian government, not to me.
@Pichkalu Pappita
lu Pappita
Maybe you're right that you didn't saw any job shortage in India. But India have a huge population here is not enough jobs for all citizens.
Every job has it's own value, but if I'm an MBA holder how I'll go to building work,
If I'm an MBBS graduate how I'll work as an engineer.
Indian education system is too bad. Unemployment and Underemployment is the major issue of this country. You said you didn't saw any job shortage in India but ILO says India has a huge unemployment rate. Which statement will people believe, yours or ILO's?And also one thing everyone is patriotic,but as a good citizen do not try to hide your sins. We must accept it and find ways to do it
I am from dubai and i confirm 😂❤️ number of indians is higher than locals

false
This documentary is very explanatory,thank you CNBC EXPLAINS for the wonderful video
Oil, freight and throwing money in infrastructure and real estate development, I’m jealous, we need something like this in America 🇺🇸.
There are 4 conditions a country has to fulfill to get the status of a 'Developed' nation. Its:
1. GDP
2. Per capita income
3. Infrastructure
4. Level of education of the locals
While counting developed countries, people always tend to leave out UAE and other Gulf countries. Which criteria do you think they don't fulfill?
Dubai is not developed, but over developed. Because I don't see police who drive supercars in any Western cities.
There's a lot of tribal areas with less infrastructure and education in the UAE
Just some correction on thr info provided in the video. Withholding passports have been banned by law in Dubai since 2006. Reforms in labor law as well as labor camp conditions including regular government inspections to ensure standards are met have been imposed since 2010. In 2017 Dubai has passed a law to ban even courts from withholding passports, as well as a law for equal pay for equal work.
It was bailed out by Abu Dhabi a few years back after it went broke. There's not much oil there. They did a good job of diversifying but extensive leveraging is not a good idea in a contracting economy. Merely builds up the debt with all that unproductive assets.
That's key, they discovered oil but the money obtained selling the oil was used to invest in infrastructure and companies, and now the result is one the most modern cities in the world. Good leadership
Dubai got rich due to trade & finance unlike the rest of the UAE & the rich Gulf countries, which rely on oil & gas and good strategies & planning from the UAE leadership, it's as simple as that! Also, another reason Dubai got so rich is that Dubai & UAE's economy relies on foreign workers from Asian countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Philippines, and others, without foreign workers from Asia, the economy will not function or even collapse.
No,
Then why no one else can copy them????? like Somalia or Yemen.
They used the oil money wisely but still without oil money they wouldn’t be rich.
@@Han-es8qucringe
Heart matters, the richer you are inside the richer and peaceful you'll feel in Dubai, most awesome, tolerant and peaceful place

Quite frankly they are just more ambitious. They had a crazy vision, and decided to chase it. I applaud them
bryce e by using slaves. If you're gonna applaud them you might as well applaud the fucking confederates
Hahahhaha...that was a joke right? Or you are deluded.
Smart man.. only a rich man think like that:) I applaud you. I'm From Somaliland and we let DP world run our Berbar Port..Dubia; Ambitious Muslim Country!!
They have a large south Asian workforce that works for low wages and in dangerous conditions and withhold workers' passports so they can't return home. So yeah, it is a pretty crazy vision.
If you have a vision, you can convert a desert into a beautiful place. UAE taught us “Say No to Excuses”
If Iraq didn’t go threw all the wars it has gone threw and currently going threw, Dubai would be nothing in terms of modernity compared to iraq.
If Iraq did not oppose/hate/war Israel then it would be a prospering country.
Don't worry Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon still has oil for centuries. Not decades, centuries.

Goran Farkas boring , soulless and artificial is not the best way to describe e this city but to describe you, there is never a dull moment here in Dubai and everywhere you look you can admire the beautiful architecture.......if you don’t believe me come and take a look ....I’d be happy to tour you around the city ;) =)
One day I will be so successful so that I can come and visit the city mark my words

Success is dependent on the action or steps you take to achieve it. Show me a man who doesn't have an investment and I will tell you how soon he'll go broke. Investment is building a safe haven for the future: with the right choice of investment that has at least 1% minimum risk and with an Expert guidance, profit and interest should be 💯 guaranteed.

Speaking of investing, forex trading is the best business in the world right now with the ever raising amount of bitcoin. I know a couple of friends who makes a lot of money weekly trading the financial market
For anyone building for posterity I think crypto is the next gold but the problem is scammers are everywhere.
I invested in both stock and crypto but I believe crypto is doing better 💯
At the crucial time, telling anyone about crypto currency trading isn't financial advice by all factors. It is life advice
So basically, cheap labor is the key.

I'm planning to visit there in middle of 2018. Dubai and Abu Dhabi also have different great luxurious place to live in.

I’m happy I live there

Abu Dhabi is the largest Emirate, not Dubai.
not population wise.
Largest by population
Abu Dhabi is the capital it does not mean that it is big judging by other sources it is dubai.
There are seven emirates. Not 6. Abudhabi is the largest emirate , geographically and demographically
Isaa Khan are u dumb, check the map
They purposely failed to mention it was the British and United States that were primarily responsible for the slavery involved in the construction. The UAE had responsibility in it as well since they have been extremely active in slaves taken from Africa for centuries. I've seen it and was both amazed and disgusted after spending a month there.
Oh really, you pulled that historical story from your ass? UAE did not exist centuries ago, only one tribe lived here over 100 years ago (Bani Yas) and they were isolated. They only enslaved other Arabs, not Africans.
Jack Tate you're not looking deep enough or you're a troll for CNBC. Watch this video and search for the others on how migrant workers from India and other places were paid nothing and we're tricked into borrowing money from family and friends before they left their countries to pay up to $5,000 for jobs that they never earned the $5,000 fee back. They were tricked into believing they would earn several times the amount they were paying for being allowed to work. th-cam.com/video/A6_a_xZyiHQ/w-d-xo.html
Jack Tate you sound like a slave owner yourself. How many people from India, Africa and other countries have you taken advantage of and called it your hard work? You make yourself feel good about the lie that they are better off in Dubai because the wages in India are less. While you British, Russian and American's extract excessive margins on the backs of migrant workers that you've tricked into making you rich. I'll lecture you and send links as long as you're alive and responding. A month is more than enough time to observe criminal activity. th-cam.com/video/q3rxdjq4Y9M/w-d-xo.html

How to get rich: disregard all human rights and treat workers as slaves.
Dubai is meant for rich people.Its so expensive for a one week stay
Not all hotel is expensive
the average pay in dubai is a lot as well
Dubai is just 1.5 hours of flight away from my house but I never went there. It's too expensive.
true, i live 45 mins away but i rarely go because it is way too expensive.
I've been living in Dubai since many years always love it but nowadays it's way more to expensive and they have VAT in summers it's horrible winters are amazing
What is VAT?

Dear Cnbc please make a video explaining why India's economy is among the world's 5 largest economies.
Short answer: oil.
Masha allah ILove Dubai and got engagaed to Emirati girl I’m from Dubai
I swear to god when I read the comments I feel like my IQ is decreasing.
In my view, Few reasons Why Dubai is rich:
1: CHeap Labour from south Asian countries
2: Corruption in South Asian Countries ( corruption income flies to
Dubai).
3: Indian invested nearly 20 billion dh in 2017 Pakistani invested 7
billion dh.
4: The rich people in Saudi Arabia invest in Dubai because of strict laws in
Saudi Arabia.
5: Because of continuous unrest in the region, rich people migrate to Dubai.
For reason number 3, what does "dh" stand for?
@christiadh means dirhamndior3888

Slave labour, ask any people who managed to escape from there.
This is why I drive an electric car powered by solar panels
You can park it in Dubai Parkings that have Elctrical recharge for that. LOL
And fyi Dubai is oil poor.
From Camels to Ferraris! They basically bought and paid for everything. Now that they running out of oil, they’re now desperately taxing everyone.
lol no
Dubai emirate revenue of Oil is just 2-3%
did u not watch the video or something you idiot the guy says oil makes up 1% of its gdp
Actually being an analyst of businesses, i don't think so.
Taxes become a necessity to control and govern resources
That 2% figure is bullshit. They get money from oil or gas in some form and that combined with virtual slave labor allows the extravagant wealth of the country. Plus the sheikh borrowed shitloads of money from international investors who are going to get burned big time. But they do it to buy some political control in the mideast.
No. UAE has plenty of oil.
We the people of Indian subcontractor people always help and helping other countries to develop. .
We are the people working all over the world working. .
Abin Make coolie mentality loll they are glad to rely on you coolies
The "secret" of Dubai is good leadership and lack of political opposition and corruption. If the countries who are genuinely rich would have that, the world would be a different place.
Dubai is lit🔥
Simple answer:
*OIL*
Not at all - unless you are ignorant to research or deaf to open your ears. Simple Answer: Strategy - Trade - Tourism - Finance AND giving a shit about your people so they are a 100% at ease - unlike you BITTER Brian.
there is very little oil in dubai. i think ur dumb
Oil is probably going to be useless in another 50 or 100 years. Without other natural resources, growing manufacturing industries, and enough working-age populations, it is possible that Dubai is not going to maintain its luxurious lifestyle.
Jessica Ang doesnt matter they still have the buildings and skyscrapers they made besides they rich enough to last a long time even without oil
Their re-exporting activity is massive, their tourism is growing rapidly, and after 2020 will be their real boom. Oil isn't that much of a factor
Oil revenue accounts for a tiny fraction of Dubai’s GDP.
Tourism in Dubai is just caused by the Air Route Hub coz most long distance flights get a lay over there for refuel and that counts as a tourist so having said that lol . . . . there is almost nothing to do there unless watching man made waters/islands i better go to asian countries
Jessica Ang dubai's income doesnt come mainly from oil, dubai's fuel is going to run out within thw next 10 years.
