- You asked & I delivered! Today I have Zeeba on my channel talking to us about life in Dubai. She moved here in 2020 and tells us the good, the bad and the ugly of life in Dubai. Zeeba is a hospitality consultant, a student at Emirates Academy, a content creator (follow her!), and an all-around great person. It was my first time meeting her but it felt like we had known each other forever!

This video has been by far the most detailed. Thank you so much for the details. Great questions. Loved this.
Thank you 😁
Ladies I love your style of organizing your content ! Clear , natural , smooth and real ! Keep doing that
Thank you 🙏🏾
I love that you guys are so knowledgeable about your topics! It always feels like we are speaking and listening to a trusted person that we know wouldn’t mess around. The relaxed conversation here is wonderful to listen to x
God Bless 😚✝️🙌
Thank you so much!
Fascinating insights! I thoroughly enjoyed the down to earth approach to sharing your perspectives, yet nuanced. All the best!
Thank you so much!!
Thoroughly enjoyable.
Thanks for sharing, ladies 💖🕊️🙏🏾
Thank you, Nana! ✨🌹
Thanks ladies, really enjoyed your informative convo on Dubai. There's a lot to think about if
your considering it, positives and negatives but good listening so thanks Zeeba 😇😊
Thank you so much for watching!
Woot woot excited about this discussion
Thanks Chichi! Did you enjoy it?
Thanks for sharing your experience Zeeba 💙 @Reni your look when she said some rentals don’t come with appliances was so funny 😂 South Africa is similar, it’s the more high end places that will have appliances included in a rental, stoves are usually the only standard thing that comes included, everything else you have to get yourself (fridge, washer & dryer, microwave etc.).
Thanks for watching Busin🤍! Honestly, I was shook because in Canada these are expected with rentals. Interesting to learn that it’s the same in South Africa. It was quite bothersome to experience while searching. You never know until you know 😅.
LOL the look on my face was shock & horror! I can't imagine moving and then on top of that having to buy appliances...must get very expensive 😫
I am Kenyan worked for jumeirah group for 3 years earning less than $500 I realized it wasnt easy to grow as an African so I resigned and went into business still in Dubai but I am much happy now
I'm glad you are happier now!
This is great info. I've always wanted to live abroad for a shot time!
Me too! Thanks for watching!
Amazing interview. Very informative.
Thank you so much!
You are such modest person....thank you
Wow, thank you!
Brilliant presentation I must admit!
Thank you kindly!
Her experience is so one-off!!!! Salaries that low are not the norm!!!! You should NOT move to Dubai if you make less than Dh.15K per month as a single person. (I grew up in UAE and live in Toronto now)
At the beginning of the video I said that this is simply her experience. She is a student 😄
Thanks for watching
Why did you leave for Canada ?
What do you mean salaries that low are not the norm? I was there earning 5k and I was actually ‘lucky’. There are people making 1.5K monthly
Why did you come to Canada
@@this_is_nyeleti in dirhams, not in dollars.
Nice video from a Canadians perspective..Sometimws i also feel like moving back as I grew up in UAE and there's always that attachment to the place even if I'm in Canada :)
Thank you so much Nevin!
Interesting, I enjoyed this conversation.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you ladies❤️ This interview is very informative👍👍👍
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching ❤️
I left Dubai for Canada in 2021, miss Dubai though, great weather and friendly people.
Awww nice
Great video learned alot Thanks! Moving to Dubai :D
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
thank you Zeeba 👏🏿
Isn’t she great? 🥰
This content has been great information in many ways ,💯👏🏿👌🏾🎤🎤🎬
Thank you 🙏🏾
Okk
Hi!
I have lived in Dubai and moved to Canada. I just miss it.. I wanna move back in a heart beat.. looking for opportunities there.. hopefully before this fall I am gonna be there..
Hope you can move back soon!!
Your smart. CAnada is just work and pay taxes
Where do you get your hair done ?
Moving to Dubai from the UK was the best thing I ever ever did. However, ALL city and countries have their cons. The pros in Dubai 100% outweigh the cons. HABIBI COME TO DUBAI.
COME TO DUBAIIII!
I’m thinking of moving to Dubai from the uk,what are the pros and cons for a British passport holder ?
This is only because you are Britisher with caucasian genes. You caucasians can be dumb as shit and still be paid a lot in dubai. Ask Indians and black people.
Can you please guide me on how best to move. I also currently reside in UK and would really really love to move to dubai with my family ❤
@@Iball024 what do you do currently?? Are you self employed or doing a job.
Thanks for informative video!
Just wondering how's air pollution in Dubai?
Thanks for watching! I found the air quality to be decent when I was there but I've heard during summer it can be very dusty and humid so the air quality gets a bit poorer then.
OMG is this a sign? This video was posted on a special birthday of mine two years ago, and I was actually celebrating in Dubai!! 😅 and now I wanna go back lol
It's a sign!!
Zeeba did a great job answering the questions. I love Dubai as an escape for few weeks but after staying for 2months it confirmed that i cant live there 😂.
Even with a home there Canada still feels more homely.
😂😂😂 tell me about it!
Still love Canada but despite the snow ❄️ 😅😂. Thanks Mo 😊.
hahaha, I'm curious to know why you say you can't live there!
Not sure if this was mentioned about her hospitality job. I saw a video about 15 minutes ago regarding things to know before moving to Dubai. One of things mentioned was most people who are Africans and other ethnicity have low paying jobs versus Dubai natives are school teachers, etc., Now I’m sure there are non natives who have higher paying jobs in Dubai.
Oh yes I have heard about this!
The visa is renewable every 3 years, 10 years golden visa if you purchase a property over 2M AED for those considering.
Thank you for sharing!
Comit a small crime or just misdemeanor and you will loose everything. Everything means everything right to live , your investments here , cars etc etc. Dont get too comfortable here. Earn and leave.
Am doing some research on average a customer service rep makes $450 per month right? If I come to the use with a work permit is it that I will have to work for that employer alone?
Not too sure - I suggest reaching out to an immigration consultant!
@xoReni I'm seriously considering moving upon a job offer at Komaz and Komaz salon. I have never heard of an Immigrant consultant. THANK YOU!
Zeebah!!!
Small world!
@@xoReni very small world
Does Dubia have Walmart + Target stores??
Don't believe so.
What are the pros and cons for getting a bank account,for a British citizen,as I’m thinking of moving to Dubai from the uk 🇬🇧
Check of Lamide Elizabeth’s content, she knows a lot about the journey from the uk to uae!
New subscriber❤️
Thank you 🤍 welcome!
I live in Canada, but want to move ro Dubai. I woukd love to get in touch with you. I don't know nobody in Dubai yet
check out Zeeba's contact info in the description!
This is very informative, I know lots of folks that’s looking for a fresh start outside Canada. Dubai doesn’t seem like a bad option. Considering the No income tax and low rent. What's the process like starting a business in Dubia. In canada you need to be a PR / Citizen, or have a shareholder/partner that is. Is it the same in Dubia, are there startup incentives etc?
You don't need to be a PR or Citizen to start a business in Canada though. Non-residents can start a business in Canada as well.
that is what i want to know as well?
@@kanyin442 that’s what I thought too!
Rent isn’t low here in Dubai. Take note!
As an entertainment journalist, I'm looking to get a job within radio and tv , where to I go to fine this?
Not too sure about that space unfortunately
Dubai is an oasis. Temporary fun & good money, if you have the right qualifications. What’s scary is, the laws are not the same as (for example) America & when sh•% gets real, the possibility of going to jail for a simple misdemeanor back home is real. I also found it to be soulless. The stares for me, as a Pacific Islander, plus my look can be shocking to most of the world. Same stares I got in Iowa, Alabama, Greece, Iran, Germany, Egypt and Kenya. Communities that aren’t used to seeing certain cultures IRL will always stare.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! Dubai certainly isn’t for everyone 😅
The bank account part is heartbreaking
It is, but I’m hopeful. 🤗
I agree, super heartbreaking. Hush puppi & co must pay 🤨🤨
Does anyone have experience moving with pets? Example: renting restrictions, country entry, pet friendly places/beaches..etc? Is renting to Americans a good experience or do they avoid Americans? (Wondering about discrimination)
Not sure about pets but Americans are treated well.
Do you need a visa if your self employed?
You need a freelancer visa
@@xoReni wow ok thanks
If anyone uses the skip to a different area in the video should have their fingers cut off 🤣🤣🤣🤣. It's about the experience watching the whole video. Great job ladies!
Hahhaha thank you Chris!
❤ 😍 💖
Thanks for watching!
Does it snow in Dubia??
No it does not.
Does McDonalds in Dubia serve Falafel ???
Not sure.
@@xoReni thanks👋
From Canada I like
Thanks for watching!
I live in Canada but I want to go and live in Dubai with Canadian Citizenship
Nice!
Two beautiful black woman....love the video. Question? Give me three good area to live and buy house in that area please.
Thank you! I'm not sure but maybe Zeeba can respond.
What is the dating life like for black women in dubai?
She is engaged so we didn't really discuss it haha
If you're a looker it's not a problem...
Nowadays it is hard to open a bank account in most countries, even in Canada. I'm Iranian and TD bank in Canada closed my account, without any reason, without any explanation.
That is ridiculous! Please demand a reason as to why the account was closed.
Something is wrong. Bank wouldn’t close your account for no reason
How much nurse makes in Dubai
Not too sure!
@@xoReni are you uae citizen now going to settle in Dubai for ever
@@shivasiva9392 nope
@@xoReni I live in state of Massachusetts USA I have visited Canada many times I know in USA Nurses well payed more than Canada.
I did check in UAE Dubai the nurses are payed 10 thousand dirhams month is that a good salary in USA after tax get payed 5 thousand a month with overtime depending you want to work overtime easy 8 thousand dollars a month
it is April 2023 and i can confirm Eglinton is STILL in construction lool
Eglinton east anyway
😩🥲
so you have to rely so much on your sponsor, so you moved all the way from another country and he can take that all away in one day if the sponsor is in the mood for that? omg, awfull aint it?seems alot is untold and yet to be told and happening right now...
She is simply sharing the pros and cons.
I would never choose Dubai over Canada. Dubai doesn't offer long term jobs and no retirement neither citizenship. In Canada you can get citizenship, free medical care and retirement.
To each their own!
Why does that matter if you’re Canadian and hold a Canadian passport? Lol. It sucks if you have a weak passport however if you have a strong one it doesn’t really matter where u live. Canada would always be your backup option.
im not going to continue the video ,once i heard 500 dollar in month
Hahaha
😂😂😂😂
Lived in both countries, in Dubai for about 10 years. Her experience is way off. If you make $500 there your life is gonna be hell
She is a student lol
@@xoReni I understand and respect that but the way she is explaining the standard employment scenarios, incomes, visa issues, cultural norms reflects on extreme lack of experience of the ground situation.
Geez...Dubai sucks! from what you're saying.
LOL! It's not that bad
Just so you know Eglington is still under construction 😂
😂😂 not surprised
You got screwed
😅
W t f hospitality ???????? Hotel travel industry-
?
It's safe for black women ? 🏃🏃🏃
Yes!
Why would it be unsafe .I'm seeing the most stupid questions being asked
@@whodoyouratemore because Black women aren’t safe everywhere in this world. It’s a valid question.
@@whodoyouratemore My son is bi-racial so I always research for both of us. It's a good question.....just as if a place safe for solo women or gay friendly.
1000%
So let me get this straight, you forgot to ask one of the key questions that would inform someone's decision to move out there as a black person 😅
lol!!
Really!!
