hi. I already visited Dubai during 2017, I think your video is good with a lot of good tips. Someone would say 'it's only about common sense' but I personaly belive there are a lack of common sense these days, expecially when people became 'tourist mode' :-) . Nice video, now I watch part 2
I don't know how I came across these videos but I want more of them!! You are great mate.
Thanks so much! Truly appreciate it!
Thank you for sharing a very helpful information before visiting Dubai especially from the one who lives there for more than 25 years. Is‘s very helpful and in the same time it makes me a little bit worry to visit this beautiful city. One more thing, you speak very clearly&slowly in the video I really enjoy it. Big Thanks.:))))
Absolutely well delivered bro! Thanks for the great advice.
Welcome back 😁 the good thing with all your video is that you talk about every single details which makes your videos very useful and informative to many people. Thank you and take care 😊
Thanks Sana! It's pleasing to hear that my videos are informative! Sometimes I am not sure if I do too much or too little 🤗
No please continue like that. You have a talent believe me 😊... I have a question: we hear all the time that discussing political issues is forbidden. What about discussions about politics in other countries or those concerning your home country is this also forbidden?
@@sanagrey5293 He really ghosted you for 3 years and counting.
Thank you for this...you answered my question that I posed in your "Living In Dubai" video,
Welp, now I understand why I NEVER see photos or videos from there. In fact, this is the first video I’ve seen come out of that entire area.
Thank you for this video , In few years time I’m planing to work for Emirates airlines. Which therefore I will move to Dubai in the future inshallah.
Thank you for sharing all the insight!
It's great to be informed about the laws because I am going to visit over there.
Love your work Carl
Thank you. This is really helpful.
Thank you. Great advice. I am visiting my sister in April would be careful going for family life.
Summary of the video:
You can drink but you can't drink.
You can take photos but you can't take photos.
You can fly drones but you can't fly drones.
One does not simply swear.
One does not simply fight.
One does not simply post crimes on Social Media.
One does not simply get naked.
One does not simply become gay.
yep you can take photos but not the people ... usually its ok .. like to me its so what it doesnt harm me but if it does than hey hey delete it
Or basically, don't even fart👍
@@rutter1ify yeah dont fart in public thats disgusting you creep guy with weird fetish ... go to a toilet or fart in you property/house
Well, no drones, no drink and no gays? Count with me, i want to live there
@@facundozaffino7304 you need a drone permit , drink inside you house or in the designed places but dont go out while drunk, gays go to jail....you see we are born with a dick or a pussy so you better act like you have one not the other
Hi Guys! If you are new to Dubai looking for a job? Check out my e-book that will be useful for you here on: www.katiabaddur.com/the-expats-guide-to-working-in-duba
Thank you for these videos, considering taking a job in Dubai, all useful information.
I saw in another video that you have literally no job security in Dubai
Great information, thanks!!
To be honest, it just sounds like be modest...
Hey,thanks for the infos! How hard is it, how much is it and how long it takes to obtain a drone licence? Thanks!
You have amazing videos. I have a question. You said to ask permission to take photos or videos. What happens if you go to the public mall or that ski place or the park and you want to take a photo or video of the surrounding and everywhere there is a lot of people, what do you then? You can't literally go up to everyone and ask for permission. So what do you suggest in this case? Thank you
Great video thanks for the details 👍
Great info thanks!
Love it its so true
Thank you for your video Carl.I am going to watch all your videos on this topic. My partner has been offered a job in Dubai. I am researching and want to learn more about what life is like for Australian women, as I don't know if I want to go. Can I apply for jobs there?
Thank u. İt was very helpful.
be modest, be civil, act like an adult, exercise some common sense, and you'll be just fine!
Clutch_masta77 Exactly... just be respectful of the culture like any normal person would when visiting another country...simple! 😎
It’s funny to me that UAE is all about respect and actually they launched the “Tolerance” campaign this year BUT if you’re gay, that doesn’t apply. Absolutely ridiculous and nothing but hateful.
Love it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Yeh. And just make sure that you,re not a woman because that means they treat you like shit
I heard that they was a girl from a foreign country came to Dubai for a job and was drugged and raped when she reported it to the police they arrest her and the person who rapped her for having sex without being married and she was also arrested for using drugs are just want to know how true is this and if not then how will they handle this situation if it might happen .
@carl hewlett, what about maintenance drugs/medication ? and data on iPad/laptop, do they check? thanks!
Super good advices
I'm from a small free country and Dubai is about as welcoming as a kick in the teeth
they lull you onto a false sense of security with the glossy promotional videos showing tourists having a great time but its all lies
love the content
Thank you Andy Murray
Great Video! Thank You!🙂👍Respect their Laws and Government period.
Informative.
that's pretty neat 👍✨✨ We are friend🛎🤝👍
Scenery and music made for a very magical and wonderful experience. Thank you
for sharing. New sub here. This is very beautiful and uplifting. Thank you. Woo ow!!
Very informative.. Thank you
Hi carl I would like to know the city of Umm Al quawain if there’s different roles in dubai it would really help me allot planing to work there. Thank you 🙏
So if I was interested in living there I wouldn't be able to take my medication? I take buprenorphine and according to that list it's illegal there. Would I not be able to get a Dr there to prescribe controlled substance?
great job
Thanks for Good information
Love the bonsai trees. Are they artificial?
You can't bring medication... That really limits tourism.
Steve H
Yeah, I would never get to go. I’m on methadone maintenance, so this country is out. Real bummer.
Looking at coming to Dubai to work as a chef, any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated?
I do agree with all points but it is a little bit more flexible than the way he said .. you can do whatever u want but respect other people u will be absolutely fine .. Be civilized and welcome all to Dubai any time ❤️
awesome informative video thanks. (bonsai 's not for indoors, you should take them out man)
Thank you
I would love it there u basically have to have respect for others nd mature I love it
women have to cover up
@@hashbashtash that doesn't stop many woman from enjoying staying there. Its not like Iran
I love Dubai, all those rules makes sense
Thank u for sharing im also a vlogger here in dubai
Thank you Juar! :-)
You can really use a painting on the wall behind you :)
I totally agree with you! So plain!! 😳 I do have plans to get something really nice but need to save up a bit for it 🤕

@ateb3 😂👌
@ateb3 😢😢😢🤣🤣
need a license for that...
Love your channel! You are soooo handsome 😍
This is exactly where I want to live it sounds like heaven on Earth everything I believe in in one Clean safe place
No Music, Movies, or Dancing allowed! No dissent allowed. You can be arrested at any time on specious or Trumped up (pun intended) charges. Sound like a really fun place!
Nope thats incorrect... No music on public transport and any public place not designated for loud music playing specially on days of Ramadan, but u can play music in your home, the clubs can play music in their hearts content and there's a lot of international artist doing their gig in UAE.. Dancing is allowed on clubs n any social parties obviously..
@@oliviasantos5004 But no Radio or TV stations that play Rock and Roll, Classical,or even Jazz! Islam? No thanks!
@@Beamshipcaptainthere is a ton of radio stations. You can listen to loud music in your car as long as it doesn't disturb the people
Wow this is more illustrated wish to see more of this. Is it possible we can do a collaboration and bring out the different expectation we have had and unfortunately it was not what we expected.
U are great
Oh dear, I am going to Dubai on 6th of May from the UK to visit my daughter and now I feel stressed already after watching this video...but I had a good laugh reading some comments below....ha ha ha
How was it?
The reason i asked is,your home is your home right,so to get to the point,privacy....,would they check your home if there is any alcohol?
Hello Carl, thank you so much for this. I'm moving to Dubai. How do I connect with you. I'm a film maker.
Thanks
really sucks about the drone, how do you get a permit for the drone if your a tourist?
What if u share an accident\ crime Sean from different country?
If I’m swearing with my friends and making some offensive jokes online (they are in another country) will I get into trouble for that?
Planning on coming to Dubai from Nigeria... Want do I really need? Basically am coming to work
So if you ask permission to take a photo and they say yes...you post it and they later dislike, you run risk of being thrown in jail? I guess you have to get proof.
Ya, thought same... best to blur people out I guess
Are there cycling groups who like to race? I ask because I lived in Shanghai and cyclied on a few cycling teams. The Chinese had no problem with me being a woman in lycra any of the times are cycling teams got together. Thank you in advance for all of your content. ~ dlwsport
Dubai Port Jail is a little rough. Al Wir is a nice jail.
I’m going to Dubai next month. Can you show me around please?? 😁😁
Can we bring a few bottles of wine in our luggage and keep it in hotel?
Great vid
Thanks so much! 🤗
How much money for rent a apartment and they have home entertainment like boombox and electronics stores and want dept stores
Tqm
Nice
Do you have to wear knee length shorts in public or can u have any shorts (men)
Sounds like a cool place.
❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What if you ask someone's permission to take a photo and they say "okay", but once you have taken the picture they report you to the police or threaten to do it and demand money from you so that they don't report you? You will not be able to prove that they gave their permission.
Tuff situation
You could record them a second time saying it’s okay
Bro you act like these are shady people like in America and that they will "ME TOO" you.
Arabs are civilized people, crime is a crime according to evidence not what "he said she said" BS
Good man.. good video.. true and to the point.. listen to him and you'll have a great time in Dubai.. be extra careful around ramadan (no drinking, smoking or eating during daytime) and have a good time.. ;).. And you can have a great time, seek it out.. ;)..
What's a good salary only for one person?
On swearing: does that apply to both English and Arabic, and could you get in trouble for RTing or sharing any foreign tweets or posts that include swearing?
It's fine to swear?
Free speech!
WHEN IN ROME!! SOMETHING TO ALWAYS REMEMBER!! 🤘
Alternatively just go somewhere else
Can you wear t-shirts with your favorite bands on them?
4:40 That is damn hard for having a TH-cam channel or wanna film stuffs
I can see some of these things but what does throwing people into jail do?
Just steer clear folks
So if your visiting Dubai, and your on prescribed medication (pain) it's not allowed,??
U just take the prescription with u all the time...
I think I can hear hints of Scottish in your accent.
I’m a nervous wreck just trying to remember the seemingly long list of “No, this might land you into a lot of trouble”. Maybe you should do a list of what is allowed, which from an outsider just trying to learn about Dubai, would be very short.
Going there would be taking too much of a chance, you'd be living in fear constantly of "offending" someone, and landing in prison! No thank you! Give me the Stars and Stripes forever!
it probably amounts to one thing. spend your money
@@Beamshipcaptain You westerners are very rude, that's probably why you have very high crime rates.
@@Beamshipcaptain Yes, please stay there.
You don't need a license to drink at a hotel. You only need it to purchase it. If you are drinking at a hotel there is no need for a license!
Amy Gerst I've bought alcohol at the duty free.
You can buy it at duty free and you cannot purchase it in Sharjah at all. In Dubai you need a license to purchase at a liquor store. Everywhere else you do not need a license. Technically, if you purchase alcohol to drink in your home, the law says you should have a license everywhere in the UAE. You never need one at a hotel.
If you cannot go on a vacation without drinking alcohol, it might be better to vacation at a chemical dependency treatment center or in Latin America.
Why does going on vacation have to include liquor?
@@wendyrosen3179 Cannabis is legal in Canada. I hate liquor, it makes people mean, and irresponsible.
What is cost Dubai burj khalifa apartment n maintenance for month cost
WHOEVER THAT'S READING THIS , I PRAY THAT ONE DAY YOU WILL REACH YOUR DREAMS. ALWAYS KNOW THAT THE SECRET OF YOUR FUTURE IS HIDDEN IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DO DAILY WHAT THE UNSUCCESSFUL DO ONLY ON OCCASIONALLY.. which is investing persistently a little to get more
@Judith Cheryl Everyone knows cryptocurrency is not a gamble majorly for the extremely rich.. It's an invest'ment to compete with the rich and the government. Everyone can do it no restrictions.
@Johnny Philip Yes. It's better to take risk and make sacrifices than to remain poor or settle for less..
lnvestlng in financial_market is what all rich people do. This is not a living but to grow our portfolio.
@Diane Virginia I don't blame them if they are not investlng their money. I have lost a lot investing in the different market. Most recently I was blown away by the rapid fall of BITCOlN.
Right now I'm even afraid of anything concerning lnvestlng..
Hey Carl, can I vape there instead of a cigarette?
Have visited twice in last 2 years never had a problem great place to visit but its expensive.
Excellent video brother Ma-sa-Allah
wow i really wanted to go :( but i don't think this seems like a fun place for me anymore :(
it’s really fun haha just a lil strict than the uk haha
If you wanna go to a desert city go to Vegas!
It basically means you'd better go on holiday to another country )!!!!!
Sebastian Satin well said
@The World Diaries being gay isn't acting like an adult ?
Is it fine to swear in Dubai and not getting reported?
(In Dubai) If go out in the street whith a T- shirt having a Charles Darwin picture on it, and also written (with arab letters) like "read the works of Darwin , Jerry Coyne and Dawkins- for proof that humans evolved from apes... etc " will I get arrested? This is like I don't respect their religion. And also what if enter a Mosque (muslim church) with the T-shirt mentioned before?
What your filmimg i dont get it
What about swearing on social media to other people that don't live in dubai?
You keep saying “it will get you in a lot of trouble”. What do mean when you say “a lot of trouble”? Are we talking a ticket kind of trouble, where you pay a fine? Do you mean jail kind of trouble? Or do you mean prison for years kind of trouble?
Im guessing he means “don’t drop your soap in the shower” type of trouble
I Am Of Course Going To Be Living There!??? I Don't Do These Things Still I'm Growing Weary! Considering I'm American! The Royal Family Has Been Wonderful To Me! Still I Don't know If, I Can Handle Such A Difference In Culture
