I think Dubai is the perfect example of a dystopian city controlled by huge companies that dont care with the workers, while the city is inhabited by the richest people in the world who dont care about the workers too
the us is the same. only they keep all the blood work away from them in lower paid places
And the city isn't even located in a good place. Like las vegas, they just slapped a huge city in the middle of the desert because they have too much money to know whats good for them.
@@gavinlightfoot5521
to b honest there is no good place in the UAE that can sustain this city
id rather live in a nice neighborhood in las vegas than the nicest neighborhood in dubai. The standards in dubai are crazy @@gavinlightfoot5521
I literally walk around everyday and see those workers and I feel bad for them. they see me and be like "a black man wowoww" but im looking back at them and im like "sigh". Each country has their issues and Dubai is one of them. They should use their own ppl for work instead of immigrants from poorer countries.
Ah yes, rich western influencers living in their luxurious highrise apartment penthouses while Nepalese and Pakistani slaves build their 170ft swimming pool, truly a developed and globalized country at its finest.
Stop whining, Dubai is a great place. Sucks to suck
Not only westerners. They are a small minority. Most are wealthy saudi pigs
As long as its not white people enslaving them who cares? Slavery is only bad if you're white

I have worked in Dubai for just 900 dirhams a month with no service charge in a renowned 5-star hotel, where an Indian supervisor/manager stole worker tips.
ultimately many humans are out for themselves and only seek to benefit themselves during their life. greed and selfishness are scary things, i'm sorry this happened to you bro
Ur right. But i dont think anyone’s paying even 400dhs in india. Thats why you came here right ? Just because everything is glamorous in dubai doesn’t mean you have to be a part of it. Ik its pretty harsh but its true. The reason why you are paid 900 dhs is because there’s people who are ready to work for that & even less i think you would have a much better idea than me that how many people from india would do anything for this job. Its quite unfortunate and sad but tbh its more of a problem with the Indian government that their people are valued so little in the world.
200euro a month??? are you serious? that is absolute slavery. i assume you have free bed food drink?
@@mohibzafar4585 It isn't really anyone's fault, India has over a billion people and is still developing, that means a ton of cheap labor that drives down wages. The problem is that certain cultures feel no guilt for using circumstances to take advantage of people they consider beneath them. It would be a lot less acceptable in most of the west to pay such a low wage.
@@kd2239 Well, Brazillians have that as minimum wage (a bit more, but still): R$ 1412/month = 258,70 euros
Will Smith is not even a poor man. It's at least understandable that a poor person would sacrifice their morals for a payday, which would benefit his or her children.
But Will Smith is RICH.

As a person born and raised for 16 years in Dubai, and lived in Sharjah. This cannot begin to scratch the surface on the dystopia that is that fucking corporate hell hole. No birth right citizenship, no attainable process of gaining citizenship either. From day 1 of my birth until I left, the government treated me as a guest, going so far as to not allowing my family to be even considered permanent residents, but temporary residents. This applies to every single Arab, Nepali, Bengali, Indian, just everyone who isn't Emarati. You need to continuously renew your residency or risk deportation to whatever hellhole you tried escaping from to raise a family.
This is but 1 example of human rights abuses, how about Emaar and other Khaleeji companies building recruitment offices in impoverished nations, signing contracts with workers some up to 30 years of labor, only to confiscate your passport when you arrive, even though its not "legal". This country is simply built on the backs of slaves who deserve to be freed. The fact they are viewed as lesser is genuinely disgusting, as they're human and without them, this sandcastle of a nation would literally grind to a halt.
Bro I lived across the border in Al Qusais and every time I would go to Sharjah it's literally this dystopian cramped hellhole of tall ahh buildings right next to each other to me lmao I can't breathe in Sharjah
Totally correct! I also spent a decent chunk of my childhood in Dubai/Sharjah as my dad is in oil and gas and the amount of effort he had to put in to get the Emarati’s to treat the workers (mostly Indian/South East Asian) with even a small shred of decency or concern for their safety was absurd. As an example one was going to send 30-40 workers into some tanks to do some coating/painting without doing a gas check and he had to argue for hours with the local site manager to stop him from doing it and when the other British supervisor took a gas test the levels were like 2-3 times a lethal dose, basically if my dad hadn’t been there to argue there would be at least a dozen deaths and I’m sure that same story probably played out many times more at other sites. It’s very depressing how little their society values the lives of other humans in general.
As a Muslim, I pray everyday for the destruction of that modern Sodom
Okay, the human rights violations are awful, but the citizenship situation is a non-issue. Most places don't have birth right citizenship, that's more of an American continent/Oceania thing. In most places citizenship is inherited. The Emiratis have the right to maintain exclusive control of their territory, something Europe woefully forgot to do in their nations. But yes, the working conditions are not rightful.
@@HeortirtheWoodwarden if by 'the emiratis' you mean their royal family and lower aristocracy who retain complete control over the entire political apparatus (and if you don't then your entire premise is flawed), that's a psychotic take. you are literally arguing against birthright citizenship in a country who's ruling caste of a few dozen inbred cousins, *by nature of their birth*, was given complete control over the lives of 10 million people.

Name a first world country where the sex trafficking is NOT rampant.
I am from Germany and there was also a story in one late night show during the pandemic where the host made fun of the same topic.
There were quite a few German influencers who decided to go to Dubai, they also made tons of videos emphasizing how great Dubai is.
They talk about how in Germany you are so restricted, nothing is allowed and the profession of "influencer" is not taken seriously etc.
Then they compared it to Dubai there it is so much better because you actually get a "license" which makes being an influencer so much more professional.
However, that license is basically just an agreement to a set of rules of what you are allowed to say and do, but apparently for them that is not restricting at all.
(The guy who said that Germany is so restricting btw. made a prank where he paid with fake money and got into trouble. Try that shit in Dubai my guy)
A female influencer also made a prank video in Dubai and immediatly got into trouble because she was spotted via CCTV. She then uploaded a video apologizing
for what she did, she praised the police for intervening and how those levels of "security" actually make her feel safe.
Dude if that happened to her in Germany, there would be no apology, she would be pissed that she was monitored, she would have called Germany a "Surveillance state" and trashed the police.
Most influencers are braindead and/or have no morals, they do what is required to get sponsorships and brand deals the rest does not matter to them. Most of them probably do not see their own hypocrisy.
Couldn't agree more! In Romania there's a big scandal nowdays involving influencers that promote (online) betting companies to their audience, mostly underaged children! Being such a poor country, these practices work here, the hope for getting rich ruined a lot of families, the betting addiction is a real modern disease.. Oh, the world we live in!
That apology 100% was the condition for her release.
Dont you even dare to compare germany to dubai, your rape cases are more than our arrests in a whole year. Fake money whether its a prank or not is a federal crime, worldwide! even in germany.
And why are you proud of your police not being respected, do you think its strong and cool to trash the police? Go fix your own problems rather than educating yourself on Dubai from a meme video.

Dubai is a very complicated subject for me as an Arab (Half Palestinian, half Syrian) bc I see so many of my relatives be so loving and endorsing of Dubai and claiming that all the "accusations" of slavery are only because of islamophobia and anti-arab racism.

I was born and raised in Dubai and it’s sad how dystopian it is. Nothing there is real and they can say whatever they like in the media. They will lie about how hot it is so that builders cannot stop despite the fact it is over 50 degrees c.

I've witnessed all of that with my own eyes, and no one believed me. I never want to return to that place! I've disliked everything about this country, particularly the ego and hypocrisy. It's not even about the indigenous people; if you're anything other than Emirati, you're essentially treated like a slave. It's the worst country I've ever visited, and I hope it collapses one day! I'm certain it will. Seriously, thank you so much for sharing this video; it means a great deal to me. I had a difficult childhood there, and I could have become a better person today if I hadn't been born and raised there. I thank God every day for getting me out of that situation. I'm relieved that my dad went bankrupt and they expelled him from the country.
Damn bro, that is brutal. Sounds like an interesting story you have though, hopefully you are doing better now. And, of course, it is just a matter of time before that whole place collapses financially and eventually physically.
Well western companies use that place to get tax evasions so the money is there, maybe in the future their reputation gets a ruined and people stop going there to do that sort of thing. Or that the companies in Dubai decide to leave the place and go somewhere else that offers a better deal.
It look like your dad took a lot of loans and he couldn't pay them that's happened a lot in 2008 financial crisis you can even see people leaving their luxury cars in the airport and running away to other country
give the oil-to-electric commodity transition a few more decades and the emirati will start chewing their nails out of hunger
Yes, this has happened, and I'm glad it did. It's not even about the loans; it's about the people themselves. It's not just the Emiratis; it's the immigrants who start wanting to emulate the Emiratis, speaking like them and trying to adopt their way of life. It can come across as cringe.@@TheMattsem

Ive had an Indian worker from my state. He was a security guard that got really upset one day and I asked him why. He said his wife from India had a baby but she really needed his help as his wife couldn't manage at all, but Dubai was preventing him to do so since they confiscated his passport which really made him upset. Ive researched about workers in Dubai and these workers came from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka construction workers. They were being paid around $175 monthly or less which is just upsetting, and nearly 2-3 or more Indian workers suicide in Dubai every day. Now that's only just India, so just imagine how many people take their lives in every other countries I've mentioned totally. Add up to that, my mother who was Indian had to work 12 hours a day in office, and they treated Arabians very differently. Caste system in Dubai is way more common than you think, and even if you have the money to spend on expensive stuff as an Indian, they still value Americans or other richer countries than us and even sometimes gives us lower service.
Literally more than 50% of Dubai's population is Indian and most speak Malayalam and Hindi . Still most of them are Muslims and Hindus are trapped into being slave workers . They are not secular and racist to those who don't follow their religion or those who are converted to Islam ( Pakistan and Bangladesh) !
I have spent 2.5 months in that ornated shithole , i agree with every word you wrote .
Dubai as part of a US puppet state, the UAE, is just a manifestation of western capitalism & how they enslave "expat" workers by branding them illegals just like branded black slaves were demonized as "sub-humans" to justify treating them as such & threaten them with deportation.

The problem with places like Dubai is precisely the excess money. Disgusted by these celebrities that promote the place. It explains why I never cared for celebs either, they are who they are precisely because of their sell out mentality.
The Dubai ruler had his daughter Shamsa kidnapped, jailed, tortured and beatened daily for years because she wanted to stay in London and go to school there.

The story of that Dubai Frame is interesting. The building has a height of 150.24 meters and a width of 95.53 meters. The design was selected as the winner of the 2009 ThyssenKrupp Elevator International Award from 926 proposals to select an emblem for Dubai that represented its "new face". The project idea was initially conceived by Fernando Donis, who also helped design the CCTV Headquarters in Beijing and Jeddah International Airport. The idea behind it was when he was designing the structure, he saw Dubai as a city full of emblems and rather than adding another one, they proposed to frame them all.
Five years after Fernando Donis won the competition, Donis said he was offered a contract by Dubai Municipality, but one of the clauses stated that he waives his intellectual rights to the project. He said that clause was a direct breach of an earlier clause in the original competition brief which stipulated that the author will keep his copyright. In 2016, he filed a lawsuit in a US federal court against the Municipality of Dubai and ThyssenKrupp Elevator. In his lawsuit, Donis claims that he has not received either a contract or compensation for his design. In 2018, it was reported that Donis and the Municipality of Dubai were engaged in a legal dispute over ownership of the copyright, but the case did not reach any conclusion

Yup, those fancy islands they created off the coast came at the cost of huge environmental effects. Resulting in changes to area wildlife, coastal erosion, alongshore sediment transport, and wave patterns. Sediment stirred up by construction has suffocated and injured local marine fauna and reduced the amount of sunlight that filters down to seashore vegetation. Variations in alongshore sediment transport have resulted in changes in erosion patterns along the coast, which has also been exacerbated by altered wave patterns as the waters of the Persian Gulf attempt to move around the new obstruction of the islands. Palm Jumeirah changed the water's spectral profile and increased the water surface temperature around it.
The most mind-blowing fact about the Burj Khalifa: The former Palast der Republik lives on through the Burj Khalifa in Dubai! The Palast der Republik opened in 1976 and was the main gathering place of East Germany or the DDR in East Berlin. Besides parliament, it also had restaurants, a performing arts center, a post office, a casino, galleries, a bowling alley, and even an indoor swimming pool! The Palast was demolished in the 2000s to rebuild the old Stadtschloss. After the demolition, about 35K tonnes of steel from it was shipped to the UAE for the Burj Khalifa's construction! So by visiting the Burj Khalifa...you're also visiting the Palast der Republik. Its steel was also sent to Turkey for Volkswagen engines.

@NNikolaiiiHentai i think you received bad treating from the expats
As somebody who has lived in this city for 14 years I can tell you that it is absolutely not what the glammed up Russian plastic dolls and western bottom g’s showcase it to be.
I personally always tried to be as generous and polite to the underpaid workers from countries like the Philippines and Pakistan, and what’s even worse is that many other expats of the middle and upper classes kinda just shove the human rights violations under the rug and never address the issue.
It’s honestly quite a draining and toxic atmosphere to not only physically live in, but also socially surround yourself with.
On another note, quite accurate video and keep up the content! You’re legit the most entertaining and informative channels I’ve recently found.
could you westerners sstop talking about human rights, because you guys don't have that either, you only have some of it which you show on media and hide what you don't have

Spot on. Agree with everything you said. Been there frequently myself and absolutely hate the hypocrisy, showing off and the fact that literally everything in this soulless heap of junk revolves around money. You've got yourself a new subscriber.
Dubai has a lot in common with Las Vegas: horribly designed streets, everything is too far apart, no public transportation, extremely hot and dry weather, and is a tourist trap. Both cities were built way too fast.
Thanks for this, what the UAE is doing is disgusting and these workers deserve justice, imagine being rightfully pissed off when not able to afford basic goods, held captive in a slum and being deprived the law to travel and all you're getting as a response from the government is prison. So terrible, just using these people as tools without any regard for their wellbeing, the officials should be rocking the jailhouse instead.
First of all UAE government has nothing to do with these workers secondly these workers got applied by the companies who they have chosen to work for , these workers are uneducated and hopeless they need to be grateful to what they have because this is how life works
Lets speak facts here indians are slaving there people and no one spoke about it THATS why indians come to The UAE to get better lives ALL OF THEM GET TREATED FAIRLY ITS THE INTERNIT SPREADING LIES ABOUT EVREY COUNTRY BUT NOT THEIRS GO ASK THE INDIANS IF THEY LIKE THERE LIVES IN THE UAE THEY WILL SAY YES

I grew up, went to to uni and eventually worked in dubai over the course of 13 years, I’ve finally left in February of this year and guess what I felt when I was on that plane about to depart ?
Nothing, no nostalgia, nada.
As someone who is an adult now I’ve realized that when I was growing up it was all fun and jolly since as a kid you don’t concern yourself with these issues and just enjoy life, but as a grown ass man it’s a whole different story.
I haven’t felt happier when I left and I’m definitely not coming back
Where did you leave to?
So I was born in Dubai 25 years ago to an Indian family, lived there until couple months ago and something I don't think has yet escaped the bubble Dubai lives in is the Emiratisation Scheme that the government is advocating for since the start of this year.
If you've read the other comments you'll see that unless your father is an Emirati Citizen, you can't become an Emirati person regardless whether you were born there and have lived there and have contributed to the economy all your life. Since we're not actual citizens and simply expatriates, we have no rights and having no rights means they can essentially do whatever they want and we can't do anything about it, one of the big things is under paying non-Emirati folk (excluding people holding non-brown country passports). They will blatantly tell you, if asked, that you are being underpaid as an Indian person compared to someone with a British passport, solely based on where you're from. And don't even try to compare salaries with Emirati people, they get paid exorbitant amounts, for example an intern is usually not legally required to be paid but some companies will offer salaries varying between AED 1,500 - AED 2,500, however LEGALLY you cannot pay an Emirati intern less than AED 10,000, a salary that most expatriates will never ever see in their lifetime living in Dubai.
Emiratisation has been around for a long time but its being pushed a lot more recently as a lot of the Emirati population don't work as they don't NEED to work (everything is provided for them) hence they are a huge burden on the government. To counter this, the scheme is actively trying to push out non-national people from high-paying jobs to accommodate to their citizen's high standards as they will never work in low-paying starter jobs. Which is hilarious because the nationals that hold jobs never do any work, they simply delegate to their underlings who are usually under paid Indian and Pakistani people. Since expats need a job to survive in Dubai, I guess this scheme will continue to work but if you are someone with an undesirable skin colour and passport, you will most likely never see any job growth.
I interned and did not get paid anything and I am an Emirati. It is either you are lying or misinformed.

Haha i was also born in dubai and my father, uncle's, grand father 😂every one went to Dubai for work. And for my case my father makes more that 30 or 40 times more than an average bangladeshi. Ofc every one can't make this much even after working for decades but if you don't have talent you are not going to make it. You will remain a slave your whole life. My father went to Dubai with little to no capital, little bit of experience, very little education now he is owner of large scale workshop. Which is very close to the level of Emirati.
@@Abu_Tuesdaybro but you have to think about it. It’s not simple like just be rich bro.
Someone from a foreign country probably very poor. Like from Bangladesh, India, etc. Gets lured into coming in Dubai for work and fake promises of a lot of money. The person goes there and gets then passport taken away from them so they can’t travel back. They get all there shit taken from them like money and stuff.
Now they are forced to live in misery and they can’t escape as there are guards surrounding their tents. And they earn so less that they can’t even do stuff. And are given just minimum food to live.
If you were in this situation. Could I just say to you “Just be rich bro, my dad was poor now he rich”.
It doesn’t work. Does it?
And pointing out obvious flaws in the highly corrupted Dubai government is not wrong is it?
@@OurCumrade i am not saying get rich. It's just that if you don't have that what is required, you will not make it any part of the world not just in dubai. And as i said my father went to Dubai without any good connection or capital, he never faced this problem of passport being taken away and not just my father i have 20 close relatives in middle east and i know more than 50 people who went to Dubai from bangladesh and thry haven't faced any problems there. My father, uncles can come back to his country at any time but dubai pays quite good amount of money that's why they aren't coming.

Well done mate, excellent vid!
Of all the horrible examples of covering up anything deemed negative in Dubai, one single example stands out to me as super-weird. Years ago, an Egyptian resident of Dubai died in a large slingshot stunt. A couple years later, it was decided to cover up that incident, and it was claimed that the incident was only the first half of a Careem (something like Uber) commercial. Why lie even about this incident?
Honestly this was an excellent video because it's very informative and about the reality of Dubai and how it viciously spreads its propaganda via influencers while still having the classic Geopold touch of humor on it. This video needs to be seen more. Thanks Geo.
