I’ve been watching you from your LSE days and it’s been a dream to watch you be intentional about all your next steps - so so so proud of the new era you’re entering 🥺❣️
@@Lamideelizabeth Nothing about neither Dubai nor the golden appearance of the stores or the items therein interest me as much as your beautiful and natural Black Beauty. With a woman like you by my side permanently, who needs all those material things that can barely make anyone happier
Abu Dhabi appeals to me much more. Beautiful wide tree lined boulevards, gorgeous parks, historic buildings. I’ve lived in both Dubai Marina and Abu Dhabi, they are so different.
More like the Bronx, Brooklyn and then Queens. Queens is pretty decent and surpasses both the Bronx and Brooklyn in quality of life. However, Dumbo in Brooklyn is like the new Manhattan. Williamsburg and Park Slope is pretty expensive as well so Brooklyn is taking the lead. Gentrified AF!
Thanks for sharing the 'other side' of Dubai - it's definitely an eye-opening experience! Don't know if you got as far as the spice souk... it's filled with the most amazing smells and vibrant colours, worth a visit (and not so many bag sellers there!!) 💖✨️
I visited Dubai last year and I wish I had more time to visit Deira. So interesting and I’ll add it my list of places to visit next time I’m there. Thanks for sharing.
3:00 I wouldn't go there if I were you because the police often raids those shops from time to time. Any customer caught there during such raids may be considered aiding and abetting an illegal trade!
@@Lamideelizabethit's really easy to get jammed up there. It's not the USA or Europe or even Japan. They make up the law as they go along. Trans have been detained at the airport for 12 hrs. No food. Then put on a plane and sent home. This was because their appearance didn't match the sex on their passport
A friend of mine lived there for a few years. I’m shocked you walked around with that type of shirt there. Wow. My friend wore loose linen clothing because anything tight fitting brought too much negative attention. My friend is a white collar worker.
I just fell in love with your channel. Great content girlie! I will be exploring Bahrain, heading back to Dubai and Abu Dhabi and prepping for that trip. I found your content very helpful.
Every city has two faces. One that you see all the time and another that is hidden. You did such a great job. Never been to Dubai but this seems like the most realistic video I have seen so far. Can't wait to visit
My parents took me to the exact same places you showed, 20+ years ago. It looks like literally nothing's changed. I remember being taken up some twisting stairs to be shown knock-off goods.
I was teaching in Tajikistan and needed sinus surgery and so ended up in Dubai. It was not a destination spot for me, I've always considered it "the mecca of materialism". One of the first things I noticed was that everyone in the service sector was from Nepal, the Phillipines, India, etc. locals were few and far between. I wish I had done more research and known about Deira--it seems culturally more interesting!
I also had random cars slow down when I was waiting for a taxi or going for a walk in JVC it was very creepy and disappointing. Even taxi drivers who would ask where I was going, just overall a very unpleasant experience.
You deserve a subscribe, thank you so much for always give us beautiful videos, I learn a lot from you I wish one day I will meet with you as your fan. Keep moving forward. I want to be content creator but I don't have more skills about it, I hope the more I see your video I will be like you one day
Last year we had stopover in Dubai. In the evening we went with metro to see this slum. Was hot and humid, every five metres some gold shop. We were only tourists there. Everything went ok.
Dubai class system? Dubai has 5 or more classes of people ? 1- The ruling family + the other gulf states ruling families who live in Dubai. 2- The super rich of the world, including mafia and money launderers. 3- The citizens of UAE. 4- The servants. A- High class servants. B- Middle class servants. C- Low class servants. You are filming in the low class servants neighborhoods. Thank you
I think is the same for any city in the world there is a good areas and there is poor areas. It's normal. You won't see an advertisement of Miami, Colombia, Las Bahamas etc showing the bad areas
@lamideElizabeth welcome to deira , am mikel by name or popularly known as @ide aguleri ,am from nigeria base here in dubai , here in deira we have wonderful nigerians doing wonderfully well , when ever u want to come deira again let me know , we have beautiful restaurants here in deira for your nigerian food .
Dubai has trained people to allow themselves to be under surveillance 24/7 and believe it's called safety. Since when has a camera kept you safe? This world is truly f'ed.
You talked about the lady skilled in sewing, that she came to Dubai into a building with sex workers and she does not know anyone, her consulate and embassy is there to take care of her. Just some advice before coming to Dubai contact your consulate or embassy ask them for a mobile number of an embassy worker in case of an emergency, never go inside a residence upon your first arrival. Check into a low cost hotel and do your homework ask to first see the business in operation, ìf they claim to have a tailor shop first go to the tailor shop ask the worker there to contact the owner to confirm you will work there. You couldn't find a taxi because buses are cheap and available. You know that standing could be misinterpreted that you are a prostitute so walk around till your taxi arrives. Stray cats near the entrance of restaurant means that restaurant is feeding them Customer left over.
I lived in Dubai and worked in Dubai, but I never been to that neighborhood. How much their apartment for the year in US dollars for me. Thank you. Be safe. Take care.
Now make a video “the other side of London” a record east London where you get robbed every week and your car gets stolen in 15 minutes which will never happen in Dubai
😩😩😭😭 don’t mention it, I think some cultures really like cats. I’m not sure which but there are other places in Dubai as well that have soooo many cats
I would really appreciate a video deep dive into your reasoning behind moving to Jo-burg, did the pros really overweight the obvious cons like crime, high femicide/DV ,etc? Thank you, wish you all the best.
I think Dubai is the absolute last place I would ever go in the entire world… It seems like Las Vegas but for people who are even more egotistical and stupid.
You can stay there for about 15k usd …. 🤔 with all the Americans going over there to take “selfies” these days I would sub lease and let them deal with the odor 😅
That part of Dubai isn't for us or ex-pats :) not talking about the red light area but old Dubai in general, it's pretty old they haven't done much work on their infrastructure since then, they rapidly changed other infrastructure in other areas in old Dubai or new Dubai hence the rent is cheaper there more or less things aren't flashy or expensive there :) this country is lovely if you look into other aspects of it. And red light area or workers we don't talk much about it glad you showed but in Dubai we don't care.
Do you need someone to travel with you? If so, I am interested in learning more to be able to move out of the US into a greater country. Are you a mentor? Can you teach me? Can you help me get sponsorship trips?
Well it used to be illegal to be in an apartment with someone you are not married to.. this law was removed because foreigners complained, and the Abraham Accords... Now it is being exploited because you can't prove people are having " illegal sex" if you remove the marital legislation. As a result there is a massive amount of young women from poor places flocking to Dubai looking for opportunity, not understanding that this is NOT a sustainable career path
@@farooqkeita700 Hi, the solution is to gave undercover cops approach them and solicit. Then you can crack down on people smugglers and prostitution. Then help to provide legal employment for the women.
@indoora no the solution is to bring back the marital law. Then you don't have to accuse people of being prostitutes and embarass them and hit them with a big charge because simply people aren't allowed to be in an apartment alone together. This is more effective and compassionate. The law is not actually enforced strictly, but when it comes to suspected prostitution you can shut it down very easily.. There are massage parlors that advertise openly also, but this low-level exploitation is ridiculous.

@@Lamideelizabeth. Have you ever er gone to the Dragon Mall? Very unique place! My favourite mall is still Ibn Battuta….it’s so pretty.
Abu Dhabi is more greeny and beautiful. Love staying in Abu Dhabi.
No no no anyone that's truly being and stayed in Dubai knows this. For me personally I love this part of the city.
That’s nice
what do you work for them dubai just like any place it has bad parts that no one should go to
I love your documentary type videos. Your storytelling is very appealing. Keep going :)
Thank you ☺️
So is like. Brooklyn but they only showed manhattan on tv. But brooklyn bronx and queens are the underground cities 😢😢

I did not people of African descent, used the terms "uncle and auntie" for non family members. I know it is popular in India.

Been to Dubai and Abu Dubai many times, much prefer Abu Dubai.. Great place👍
Wait until you See the other Side of NY. London and Paris
Thanks for sharing that experience. I have no desire to visit, but enjoy seeing the area through other people's perspectives.
Girl this flat would be advertised as "modern" and "newly decorated" in the UK 😂
I also had random cars slow down when I was waiting for a taxi or going for a walk in JVC it was very creepy and disappointing. Even taxi drivers who would ask where I was going, just overall a very unpleasant experience.
dubai and north korea habe the same empty town vibes
Deira is a working-class neighborhood. That means most people are low wage laborers, and the apartments are packed with 5 to 10 workers.
I thought through the understanding that female visitors cannot wear “certain” kinds of tops or bottoms. Did their dress code change?

I like just ran into your content and I love it because it's raw ❤ love the raw footage
Great video & Insightful
Very interesting! Thank you for making
Go to Africa and try their cuisine. You’re very lucky and blessed you live in Europe. Take trip to Nigeria slams, eye opening 😢
It pains you 😂
This LADY is not from AFRICA...
What can we do as black women to help these sisters 😢😢😢
Advise them to not come to Dubai selling their arse.. it's not a good career path. And Don't believe the fools on instagram
I have seen that side of Dubai didn’t bother me at all
Hi watching from Australia. Does anyone know if she ok after posting this video? I got a bad feeling about this! And if you are ok please let us know.
I’m okay 🤍
She's beautiful
😲wow... thanks for the eye opener
They gonna get you😮
U are very pretty and has great verbal skills.
Last year we had stopover in Dubai. In the evening we went with metro to see this slum. Was hot and humid, every five metres some gold shop. We were only tourists there. Everything went ok.
Dubai class system?
Dubai has 5 or more classes of people ?
1- The ruling family + the other gulf states ruling families who live in Dubai.
2- The super rich of the world, including mafia and money launderers.
3- The citizens of UAE.
4- The servants.
A- High class servants.
B- Middle class servants.
C- Low class servants.
You are filming in the low class servants neighborhoods.
Thank you
You are very brave girl going in these crazy country
dubai is one of the safest cities on each what crazy counties?
Diera is AMAZING! It has all the culture and melting pot that the main city is lacking!
Abu Dhabi is the best place to live.
Dubai has its good and bad. That’s everywhere you go. The country itself it’s 💯 safe………..
Always two sides to every coin. Very Interesting.
That's not the worst part of Dubai. There are many videos of slums of Saudi Ariba on TH-cam.
Saudi Arabia is not in Dubai …
beyond natural beauty . no cap
All I can say about what this lady brings out in this video is:
BRAVELY SPOKEN. 😶
I think is the same for any city in the world there is a good areas and there is poor areas. It's normal.
You won't see an advertisement of Miami, Colombia, Las Bahamas etc showing the bad areas

11:33 never knew Dubai could look so walkable
True!
it is quite walkable in the older middle to low-class neighbourhoods, not so much in the newer areas tho

Is that Dubai looking like New York
Yea the markets are crazy. Its an experience but id be fine if i never went back. Cats are everywhere in the Middle East

loool why are you pressed? No one is arguing that London isn’t like that

Didn’t this place just go under water. I wonder why, maybe coz it’s evil
Awesome content TY.. on point easy to relate.. ty
that is much cleaner at least, i have seen worst than that.
Dubai NOT on my list as an avid traveler. So many other beautiful places in the world to enjoy.
Dubai will slam done on you with the full force of the law for so many things, but prostitutes are just standing on the street.
