    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)

    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.).

    • @ZeebaOse

    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.

    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.
