What you said about British weather is spot on. It's July and we have jumpers on indoors and constantly raining outdoors. It makes you feel cold and miserable
By far the most 'straight to the point' and 'succinct' videos of 'Why one should move to Dubai'! You have indeed touched great points and the way they are delivered is spot on. Keep it up!
Thanks so much’
When you said you were Muslim, i was so pleased. Same. Dua for you and your families success on the move. InshAllah , ill move in a few years.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hi Coleena , are you Muslim? What nationality are you?
I hold UAE residence but don’t live In Dubai
The first time I was in Dubai staying near the dubai mall, I thought to myself that it’s a shallow place full of vain look at me types. I told myself I would never move there as I had such a negative impression.
However when you get away from the downtown area and go to a normal residential area like Dubai marina or similar and see normal people you’ll notice there is a lot to like about Dubai…things that is missing from western counties.
1. The country has momentum
it’s a place where everyone… ( and I mean everyone) is looking to get ahead by work hard and improve there lot in life. #respect
2. You’ll properly never feel safer.
3. Unlike many other popular western expat locations especially in south east Asia getting affordable quality western food is easy. For example my wife and I live in thailand and the western food is grossly overpriced and of such poor quality.
4. Unlike countries like Thailand and Malaysia the the service industry is professional and organised.
5. The government lets you keep your money , leaves you alone and makes you responsible for looking after yourself. ( the way it should be )
Unless you are on a very low salary or receiving welfare benefits I would recommend Dubai over any 5 eyes country or Europe.
Dubai is not perfect but the positives outweigh the negatives big time.
I've been seriously contemplating the idea of relocating to Dubai. In fact, I've had the chance to spend a fantastic four-month period there, which made me strongly consider it as my second home. Your videos have been an immense source of assistance, providing valuable insights and guidance. I genuinely look forward to enjoying more of your informative content. Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you so much! If you think it’s right for you, you should definitely go for it!
PLS DONT IF U R NOT MIDDLE EASTERN IT IS NOT THE PLACE FOR U DUBAI PEOPLE R RICH HOW DO U THINK THEY LIVE IN CITY CENTRE REAL DUBAI ISNT WHAT U SEE ONLINE ESPEICALLY THIS GIRL TELLING U WHAT IT IS IS LIES REAL DUBAI IS POVERTY AND THIS GIRL IS NOT EVEN MIDDLE EASTERN TO UNDERSTAND
Welcome to Dubai. I moved from Tokyo.
Brilliant!
Great information 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Great content🧡💛💚
Thank you! 🤗
Love it! Growing up with maids in the Philippines was the life! We're def made for the soft life sis
Purrrrr
Such an awesome video!! I've been travelling to Dubai once a year since 2018 and I can honestly say that you are absolutely spot on about every single point, I can't wait to see how you all as a family will flourish in DXB! Heads up about the summer months thooo the heat is no joke!!
Thanks so much! I think the heat is a trade off in willing to take for all the benefits haha
BRO GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY NOT THE MIDDLE EAST AND SINCE UR BLACK THEY WILL SIDE EYE U THERE
Yep just stay inside during summer or go to Georgia 🇬🇪
We are moving to Dubai from UK this summer too! Same reasons! 😊 All the best on your move! ❤
Thank you, and you too! Good luck ❤️
7:53 this concerns me as well
Super Nice ❤️😎😎😊👍
I am much confused about leaving my country and relocating to Dubai, but you cleared all my doubts. ALLAH bring happiness and wave-off all the problems from your life. Ameen. I never forget this video Thanks from all from the core of my heart
1:40 lol this is italy, I recognize the roof type :D
The schools curiculums in the UK is definitely concerning
It's almost September and the summer in the UK wasn't...well summer. But hey, winter is just around the corner...so yeah moving to Dubai makes a lot of sense. I've always known I was solar powered anyways 😅 - I worked in Dubai for 6 months a few years back, but I kinda decided I didn't want to work for a Dubai company. I was on a big gov. project, which wasn't an issue, even though the hours were 8-6pm, but over time it can drain you. My goal is to do the digital nomad thang. Regardless, perhaps I'll take some timeout in Dubai in a month or so InshaAllah.
One thing though, schools are expensive and sometimes there's a waiting list. Given that the vision is to increase the population, I guess more schools are on the way. Just something to consider.
UK is going down hill. Just look at how dysfunctional parliament is. What exactly is the UK's vision? You get the feeling the government is working for themselves rather than the people. The leader of Dubai's stated aim is to be the best city in the world...and he owns the place, so he's not stealing from himself. 🤣 The mid east is better than it was before, things have improved. You know that, you'll be away for a couple of years, and will visit UK...and it'll be the same, or just different, but no better.
Running a Democratic Government is hard because you got all these request for welfare payouts but there’s not enough money to go around. There’s no jobs ergo more homeless ergo more welfare requests. So it’s a downward spiral
The problem with education is not just the quality but the work opportunities after school. US offers more opportunities in tech and finance than Dubai. Dubai is where u spend all ur money. Not to find jobs
Thank you for the information may l kindly ask how can l apply for postgraduate or Masters in the US
5:00 Worry about hand chopped off for watch...???? What is going on in UK ?... I thought Chicago is bad enough..
Is there scope for teachers in Dubai? Jobs ?
Yes there are a lot of schools ergo there’s openings
Your reason 10 is invalid. Neom, if completed, will be a rival and draw capital away from Dubai.
You’re complaining about UK Inflation
Dubai is a luxury spending place
If you’re complaining about money
You’re in the wrong place
It’s can be like that if you want but it isn’t really like that
Kids occupied? Wtf playing in malls and buildings? Dubai is not family centric it’s more of lavish spender lifestyle
It’s very family centric actually
Land of Opportunity? I don’t think so
It’s more of US
Dubai is land for spending
If you are looking for capital to start a business US is great but if you are bootstrapping it or just working for company as an employee ( with a good passport ) then Dubai is likely better
I have a feeling the reasons you are relocating, will amount to nothing as the USA and Europe put pressure on Arab states to be more in line with their liberal philosophies. The Neom project that you mentioned is financially backed by the USA it is not paid for solely by Saudi. And your piece about schooling and what is not taught in Dubai, reading between the lines, this too will come under pressure from liberal USA Europe to change and become more in line with western schools teaching a very sexually liberal curriculum.
Bali is 3rd world
With inferior facilities
But it’s all about nature rather than superficial things
How will your child be treated if they are gay?
She doesn’t need to worry about this since she’s Muslim so there is literally no chance of her children become gay
Alhamdulillah
I don’t think they stop gay people at UAE immigration… just do things behind close doors like most people do…
If someone is gay then you properly can’t hold hands In public but there properly most definitely gay people in the Uae.. use Common sense.
Sunny as in hell
Abundance mindset - means fake hustling
Dubai wants to attract spenders
But in the process also attracts scammers as well
Weather? hahahaha Dubai is a desert if someone doesn't know.
Yes bloody hot… but 6 months of the year it’s lovely
I will be living there 6 months during winter.
Quality of life in Dubai? Really? It is like living in a luxury prison...you can't have walk outside
Lots of Dubai is not walkable… but some areas of Dubai are great for walking.
Don’t believe everything the bbc and cnn tell you.
@@AUT1981. I juts believe what my skin told me in the 2 years of living in Dubai...my skin was screaming, my body was crying, my eyes were thirsty for green, like real green, not Dubai green...after I quit Dubai I was looking just for deep green for a few months. I hade no eyes for women, just for green, deep, deep green. I can't understand how people can stay there. It is a luxuriant hell, a hot prison etc. I think I still have PDSD ( a version of PTSD) ...a word I invented right now: Post-Dubai-Stress-Disorder, like soldiers returning from Afghanistan...no joke.
Did you just say that you didn’t want to move to the USA bc of police brutality? 😂
That will be a .......
