The Hidden Slaves of Dubai

- Dubai may be a beacon of prosperity in the middle east, but it is built on a dark underbelly. The dark side of Dubai is hidden from Westerners and tourists, but the UAE is a place where forced servitude as bad as slavery has grown to epidemic proportions.
Migrant workers outnumber the local Emarati population. Especially Indian and Pakistani workers who are promised work for good wages abroad. But when they arrive they have their passports taken from them and are forced to work 12 hours a day 7 days a week for incredibly low wages. There is no way home for these stranded workers and many of them turn to suicide. Despite the local government claiming only 1 or 2 workers committed suicide a week the Indian consulate reported 3 daily suicides by Indian nationals every day in 2005 alone.
But the Emarati aren't too concerned about the conditions these workers live under. Foreign workers keep the country rich and goods cheap. Most Emarati have Nannies, maids and drivers along with a $60,000 USD average salary and state funded accomodation, education to PhD level, and healthcare - with a low cost of living.

What I dont get is how can such cheap workers build all those skyscrapers in excellent quality ?
More than hidden slaves
‼️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...
THANK YOU for noticing. so many slave buses are on the roads every day but the super wealthy are too disconnected to notice.
Shame shame shame, what an evil place
If you watch this and still want to holiday there you are not very nice
wdym by that lmao
I’ve been there before I knew about this. I saw it with my own eyes. I’m trying to talk a young African man from Kenya who is asking me for $300 to help him go there. Promises of working in a 5 star hotel as a life guard. I met him while on holiday in Nairobi. I’m am trying to save him he is not listening to me. Please comment so I can show him this.
I want to go to dubia.. it's not easy here in Nigeria
What’s your point? Literally most of the items in house are made in China, and let’s just say the conditions of the factories in China are not the best. Take for example an iPhone, search up a video of a Apple factory in China and look at the working conditions.
There's things like this going on in every major city around the world. Some more than others. Are you gonna start telling people not to visit Brazil because of the bad wages and conditions workers experience there as well?
I am sorry....the worker's are not appreciated and are not treated fair!! Not going to Dubai!!!
Im glad you have posted this video, well done 👍
I knew something was not right, the way how quickly Dubai came into existence.
I was asking myself of they have machines that builds tall buildings without human intervention
China was built even more quickly
I wish I could help these people. The Emirati people don’t care at all for other human being. God help and bless these people that need you so desperately 🙏🏼 Amen. Not visiting this country ever unless it is to help these poor people out.
The lyin
Actually they can free themselves by contacting offices or lawyers.and there is some Emaratis that care. Never judge people by their goverment
And a lot of people don’t care about Indians Pakistanis and south East Asian people who were tricked and trafficked to Dubai because we are considered insignificant and poor. They only care about non- Asians being taken advantaged of
@given I think god has fallen asleep
@alaaj plz. Lawyers hold little power. It’s the people with power, that hold the power.
This happens in a lot of Arab countries honestly the only countries with good living conditions and fair pay is
Egypt, Kuwait, some parts of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain
Not for women
True. But I think that's for another time since religion dictates their way of living
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain also brutally exploit Indian, Pakistani, Sri lankan and Filipino workers! Kuwaitis have highest ego and arrogance in the world! Entire Middle East brutally exploit Indian, Pakistani, Sri lankan and Filipino workers!
Not true about Egypt as well,its werry poor for moidle classes,as Egyptian goverment can just take your home and then start buikding an skyspcraper whit they wouldent ever finish...
Saudi Arabia ! LOL.
Turkey and Iran are quality Islamic nations with opportunity for citizen women where citizens actually work, create PATENTS, and export stuff besides natural resources.
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain the citizens are lazy and don't work hard. They all want office jobs filled with tea breaks, lunches and maybe they'll send a few emails and go home while earning $400k/year.
Thank you for sharing
I don't know why so many keep going there if they know that they are treated this way. They must not be spreading the word to their own countries or something.
Easy, if u keep thinking about it. There are tons of vids criticising the contry but the question is easily answered because being in this country is much better than being in their country

@@d.m6614 thanks for sharing.
@@alialshaiba9528 ROFL.. hahahahaha! bro they are just to earn money bro...not because its better then their country.... What u meaan by its better? Better in what sense? rofl....
It’s bc they get better life style here than in India
I know someone who is over there stuck... Is there any organization that would help this individual?
I've been telling people about this for years

Don't be fooled. Also, look up Porta Potty Instagram models and house slaves of Dubai. Then look up Princess Latifa and how her father has put her in prison and there's another princess that nobody knows anything about her whereabouts.
That's obviously not in Dubai and actually you can watch recent videos of these labour camps on youtube and they aren't that bad tbh
This was done to me,a friend worked there and told me he can’t get me a job,the day I landed they had me sign a contract and then took my passport and said I had to stay for 3 years,I got myself fired after just under a year and never went back to that place,I’m South African
Sorry brother. What will be the outcome of all this. Tell me
I was in the water park (at Atlantis hotel) yesterday. Then, I saw some poor workers painting a metal roof under scorching temperature which was definitely increased by the galvanized surface… That sight made me feel miserable, even inside a 5 star hotel. That’s why I came here… to check out about these workers well being…. That’s terrible.
Why are people so cruel?. Is it really necessary for them to torture and exploit workers like this?
Well there’s no god to hold us accountable for our actions when we die so who cares
@@Full2635 God is real but god is waiting to punish people who treated other people badly
basically they are cheap labours from poor countries so Arab countries give them good pay compared to there country and far far lower compared to the local market ! so bcuz of being cheap labour from poor nations they are treated as shit !
@@cnationtv8282 Not all Rich countries Treat Poor Workers like Crap The Usa Europe And Singapore
Because they don't wanna grow the conventional method like USA or European countries. They wants profit.
What is the current data? Some people say in 2022 things are better. Do we have an estimate for how many people are living in slave like conditions in 2022?
#WeRaceAsOne . . . yeah!
Good job!
Indians are discriminated badly all over the world due to overpopulation. Take for example Middle East: Middle East is the land of Slavery for Indian blue collar workers and many other Indians since the 1980's. Indian blue collar workers are badly discriminated and made to live in labor camps which is a large area encampment of blue collar workers. In most companies' worker camps, blue collar Indian workers are cramped in a cabin with one washroom. Indian blue collar Workers passports are always confiscated from them upon arrival by their Arab employers. Indian blue collar Workers are made to work long hours without pay or vacation. As India is a poor country and cannot support its overpopulation with decent jobs, blue collar Indian workers and many other Indians have no choice but to go to Middle Eastern countries and work as slaves. Arabs and Westerners in Middle East enjoy higher standards of living with many luxuries due to blue collar Indian workers building their cities and serving them in various industries, whereas Indian blue collar workers suffer in labor camps with little pay or no pay for years and years. Indian blue collar workers work 12 hour shifts or more for peanuts or without pay under the control of the Arab employers. Indian blue collar workers working in Middle Eastern countries are paid peanuts compared to the blue collar workers paid in developed countries. Because of abundant supply of Indian blue collar workers due to over population, Middle Eastern countries will never raise the livings standards for Indian blue collar workers to improve their quality of life. Due to too many Indian blue collar workers and many other Indians in Middle Eastern countries, Arabs and Westerners look down upon all Indians with revulsion, repugnance and repulsiveness. Arabs and Westerners in Middle Eastern countries are not at all grateful for all the hard work blue collar Indian workers and many other Indians have done to build their cities and serving them in all types of industries since last 45 years or so. Indian workers are also badly discriminated in Italy with below standard wages and treated poorly due to overpopulation.
African workers with black skin are treated much worse
disgusting greedy bastards how they treat migrants
and south asia was so looted. how our national treasures are still in British museums for display. the slavery and colonialism. the rights we lost. the divide and conquer strategy. this is just done because they know south asia is too powerful united. Not much different than Africa, is what they've done to us.
Rightly said
They're treated bad in their own country especially, worse conditions than they experience in Dubai, India has the highest number of slaves in the world
Lucky I never leave
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shit I'm goodmate
Hey , I'm looking to speak to Blue labour migrant workers in the UAE market , how can I do it it's for a research purpose and I'm not from UAE so any leads anyone? Will be a huge favour
Just travel there. Buy a plane ticket, take a taxi, go to the labour camps or housing complexes and surrounding areas, talk to the workers.
There are already videos on youtube of people doing this, and be conditions are honestly not really that bad
Isaiah 40:31 Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Why would they not notice? CAUSE THEY DONT CARE!!!
It's a cultural problem.
Cost of living, is SO low, that almost everyone has a maid? That's not a red flag to u?
How many other countries boast such claims?
The local could grow vegetable gardens. Sell to the workers
It's the locals who are exploiting them.
Are you for real, 🤦♀️
i try to tell people i know who have been to Dubai about this, and they always just go “but i liked it”…like do you not have a conscience??
that’s so fucked up.
people trapped in servitude in Dubai
Revelation 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Glad theyre flooding!

Hi
When Animal Crossing turns communist
The fact that it's male workers suffering does nothing to garner media interest, either
That's BS, you pathetic misogynist. The exploitation of construction workers has been covered msm, certainly enough to deter people who genuinely care, from going there. It's likely received more coverage than other forms of exploitation that take place there but even so, msm should still do more to report on every form of human rights abuse where people are entrapped, exploited and endangered not just in Dubai, but across the whole of the UAE.
So relative to the average pay in dubai, the workers may be getting less money but its a larger pay than what they would be making in their home countries? So the “slaves” work a practical labor job and get paid cheaply relative to average pay in dubai, but the pay is better than the average pay in their country?
Y’all live in America and don’t think they owe Foundational Black Americans get tf off the high sores and make your government pay up

Wrong, for them it's not low wages. It's 2-3 times higher than what they make at home. For THEM it's high wages. It's between $250-$800 depending on your position on the job site.
This has been improving the past decade or so. These camps have air conditioning and decent conditions, i've seen videos of them.
The majority of them today don't experience the conditions you described.
And they don't have to pay for housing and food.
If you made 2,000 per month and had to pay for food and housing, you'd end up making less than them at the end of the day lol
I'm not condoning this necessarily but you exaggerated it. Just watch the videos of people who actually visited these worker camps and talk to workers.
I talked to a Bangladeshi who had worked in the Middle East, he was bitter. He said: "They call us brothers in Islam and then treat us like animals."
Call them brothers while they’re doing the work then afterward they boot em out of the country.
@@persimmontea6383 Well a lot of these contractors aren't based in UAE, many of them are foreign companies. the majority of construction projects aren't conducted by people of the native population. The majority of the population in Dubai are foreign workers on work visas and foreign investors.
What is demonstrably true however is that the native population has benefits that non natives don't, they have privileges.o
Just like Allah wanted.
people not want to see this
