I’m bussines man myself I own night clubs in London and this is the first time I been to dubai , as bussines man I like to watch thing discover things and see how people run company and business . And dubai is what you just said it’s on your video modern slavery 100/100 . Here how I know this we been to this restaurant and I see this young guy working behind the bar I watched him hours how hard working person he was and the experience he had with drinks and cocktails , so I start speaking to him he finish university of base in food and drinks tasting and mixers his experience are very high . So my bill was 900£ for food and drinks for 2 people which is fine I can afford that I’m willing to pay high price in high end restaurants. However he was working 12 hours day and his wages was only 300 dollar month . So my question is this how could you sell food for 900£ and pay staff 300£ month ? So cut long story to sort he said for dubai that’s good money other people gets like 100 dollars month . So I offers him job in London working for me
I had a friend who went to Dubai to work...but came back home after 8 months. It was such a relief to see my friend arrive home safely. But my heart broke to hear of the trauma experienced by many workers there. The people who help build Dubai with their bare hands ought to be treated with civility, dignity, respect and deep gratitude.
I worked as a site engineer in Dubai, Yes, the migrant laborers are treated so poorly . They work long hours, have pathetic accommodations, and was forced to work in the scorching heat. Sometimes I won't be able to look them in the eyes. It's a soulless city.

I am a Nigerian, I was in Dubai 2019 to work as an expatriate but I ended up been a slave for the whole one year I spent there, this is a country I will never pray for my enemy to go , their Government is a deceiver, the citizens are also bad set of people...
I went to Dubai over the summer. I really enjoyed myself while I was there, but once I met the locals, rather it be Pakistani, people from Bangladesh, or India, and some Africans, I knew that it wasn’t the place for me. All that glitz and glam is off the backs of darker people and I don’t like that. I didn’t like the fact that I got to be comfortable and lavish, but the locals people that helped build this city are being treated like trash. As I was about to leave Dubai, I felt that darkness and most likely won’t go again
@Kris C I hate when people do the deflection bs .. he is talking specifically about Dubai you can bring the US in another topic he just said Dubai he never said U.S was perfect.
@Kris C seem like you defending dubai. You can hate the US as much as you want. the US is far from perfect but you can not sit here and act like dubai is as perfect as they make it seems . How about you pack your bags and move to a different country and never come back to the states ? Their are people all around the world killing themselves to come get the opportunity over here .. Their is a reason why the US is world power they have done alot of bs and still doing alot of Bs but this countries has more freedom than any other nation . This country is where people come to become whom ever the want to be..
@Kris C lmao name me one Nation with more freedom than US? You can't cause they don't exist. The reason why china is doing so well is cause right now the US is divided . China is communist country not to mention the nation's are not holding china accountable. If you Hate America for being corrupt then that fair however you better keep the same energy when it come to dubai and china especially china where they have concentration camp for Muslims. people want cheap labor which is why they go to china other than that china has nothing on the states. They are stealing other countries tech while people in the US sell their country men to china .. so now name me a Country where they have more freedom than America imma wait .even UK doesn't have the same amount of rights. Anyone can become someone over here that just the facts while countries like My home country no matter how hard you work you won't see no change .. you can hate the US that fine but you can't also sit down and act like dubai is better than the US or say dubai has no corruption cause that would be a massive lie ..
@Kris C this just show you know nothing about capitalism socialism and communism. You know absolutely nothing about china your " china does real business" lmao you hate America so much you are willing to look pass china and what they are doing things like this just shows you don't seriously stand by you principles you just say things out of air that you think makes sense . It is right the US is corrupt plus china does not have a bigger market than the US not yet.. they are close but not yet. I can say that however you are out here making false statements just so you can fit your narrative which shows you're are not operating on logic you are operating on feeling Which is fine. I won't say uk is more stable than US . Both the US and UK are alot similar than you think. Ofc UK has terrorism problems going on over there aswell but let not talk about that since you said they are more stable . The biggest part where you "argument starts to crumble is how you ignore that china is a communists country literally their government is call the CCP for a reason . Chinese communists party it has the name communists in it . Kenya doesn't have more freedom than the state that also false . You really have the audacity to say Kenya has more freedom than the states? However the media is lying about US actually they are the same people talking bad about the state lying to people about the state. You know nothing about politics .you're just acting on your feelings and ignoring the rest you ain't cut out for this.. US has it problems no doubt but you can't tell me China is any better. We can both point out the flaws and goods but I'm sure you know nothing about china so I'm going to give you a pass on that one.
@Kris C the thing is you're saying this to a african born individual. I've seen what the worst part of society can result in . I've traveled and I don't listen to media cause it's bs . You know nothing about china the crazy thing is you're gas lighting. You know how closed of china is to the rest of the world ? Do you know they are harvesting organs from minority? Do you know if you go to china and talk bad about the Ccp you would be jailed or killed? This is the disingenuous arguments I can't stand. You obviously know nothing about china yet talking on it like you know so much. To be fair I don't know too much about it but I've studied enough about to see that it not all rainbow and unicorns. Just cause you have one case of a family member enjoying the life in Dubai doesn't mean that how most minority experience it You know the reason why china start blowing up economically is cause of capitalism and how they started accepting trade with different countries? The same reason you dislike the Us can be said about china' as well the crazy thing they are still doing genocide against a minority group . I'm going to state it again that you don't act on principles you act on emotions. I don't know much about dubai but based on what I've read and what I've been told by my siblings it not as good as some might claim But yes it's still a beautiful country. And About the cops that arguably the US has 300+ million people and only few people get killed a year by cop relative to population size and the amount of death its decent.
I am Indian and could relate to everything what is mentioned here. The worst part was I was working as management consultant to major construction companies both in Abu Dhabi and Dubai and I used to suggest measures to improve productivity of the direct workforce. While interacting with the labour at the construction sites, I just used to sympathize with their living conditions and insane working hours under the sun. Once a worker approached me and said - Sir, we have so many people sharing room and bathrooms that if we want to have shower, we need to get up at 4 AM in the morning and join the queue as we need to report to work at 6 AM. The only suggestion I would give to those seeking to go to middle east - you can make equally good money working in major Indian cities as carpenter, plumber or electrician by being your own boss, trust me. P.S Edit: Thanks for all your likes and comments. There are lots of repetitive questions which I wish to answer here rather than replying individually 1) For those of you asking me why I worked in Dubai if treated badly.....I worked as consultant to construction companies, not as skilled labor...I did not experience the atrocities like what the labor force faced, my comments were mere reflection of what I have SEEN and HEARD first hand 2) Those saying salary is more in Dubai compared to what he can earn in India, please read my comments below, I have shared the salary comparison for your reference. Again, this is from my own experience having worked with multiple major contractors, feel free to vet with your own research 3) To those who say the workers don't even get water in India and they must be happy that atleast water is available in the camps they stay in Dubai, you must be either blind or freaking speak through your ass....Don't have anything further to say on these baseless comments 4) Many have asked why despite all of these issues the workers migrate there...Well like mentioned in the comments, the agent promises something and reality is something else. Now with social media and exposure, lesser people are opting to go and work in the ME. FINALLY, I don't have anything against Emiratis, Omanis, Saudis etc....Many of the Arabs I had worked with are very nice and friendly people. Also I have nothing against their government. My entire objective of this post is to bring awareness to the people going to work in the ME (especially the skilled ones going there to work in construction sites). Ask your agent to give referrals of people who are at present in the ME...Speak with them and their family to enquire on the working conditions. Many might still want to go and work there, but atleast you know what's in store when you get there. PERIOD!
@@plainsaw3771 not sure about that. Usually the hiring happens through an agent from their home countries. The employer sponsors their air fare one way after the workers complete 2 years. The clients I worked for in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are pretty renowned ones, to my knowledge it was not bonded labour although working conditions were bad for the workers
I went to Dubai years ago and was fascinated by the modern buildings and tourist trappings. I saw many of these workers in dirty uniforms stacked on the back of trucks like cattle. It was only years later that I found out the stories about these workers and how they are treated. I will never go back to Dubai again. I feel like it is a place of hidden evil.
I was also working in dubai as tower crane controller last 2007, yes this is true, i was a victim of promising salary but it didnt materialized. I worked for about more than 16hrs. from 7am until 10pm, but most of the time until 1am, and inn again at 7am. I went to the ministry of labor but it seems the officers there, didnt see me, instead treaten me to put me in the prison. Dubai Dubai Dubai, there will be a time of reconing, yu must be readyfor it. thank you sir for up loading this truth.
@@arialuv6894 So there's censorship in Dubai? I wonder what they do to silence they're (so called) enemy's in Dubai, maybe the Islam is also a part of it.
I can relate to this video. My fiance is Filipina and she worked there. Her company seized the passports of their workers which is illegal and even sent out a letter explaining they had the local authorities permission to hold their passports. They would also even hold their paychecks for stupid reasons and not give out a pay stub. She would be upset she worked so many hours and then they only payed her for half. Then because they weren't giving out the pay statement she couldn't argue on her hours worked. One day she was at work and near the mall and saw a construction worker getting yelled at by locals cause he used the same door as them to go inside the mall. If your a construction worker then you are lower class and must use a different door to go inside the mall. She tried to leave and had to go through so much hoops to try to get her passport back. They also said she would have to pay a crazy amount of Durham's to quit her job and leave. It was like the equivalent of $1600 us dollars plus also have to buy a plane ticket back home. That would take ages for a migrant there to pay that. I helped her pay the fees and get back home and she is now back in the Philippines and we are waiting on our K1 visa. That place is horrible. Racism and discrimination there is beyond rampant. I strongly disapprove of anyone going there to work cause they think they will have a better life.
U r wrong and misguiding others I am a Pakistani national living in Dubai since last 34 years with my family in Dubai it is illegal by the governments order to keep the employees passport if any company keeping their employees passport and they complain to the police their company would be fined and their passport would be given them back we have more freedom in Dubai then our native country Long live Dubai Emirate and the Rulers
@@aminmotiwala9537 you can't expect everyone is experiencing what you've experienced, open your eyes and wake up and see the reality that not all residents in Dubai is leaving well as you do.
I completely agree with you. Not sure which Dubai some people live in where all they see Gulf as the best country but the reality is most of the labours are treated very badly. I, myself went to through some of the these situation even though I was working as a Jr. Accountant. Also I have been to Sonapur to meet my cousin and it looks so different and feels like you’re in a complete different country.
I use to visit Dubai from 1998 till 2005, I have seen myself miserable life of expat workers in Dubai, local Arabs do not care they treat them like animals, all those skyscrapers are made by Pakistan, Indian and Bangladeshi labours, in one room 8 to 10 people sleep, I had seen most of Bangladeshi labors who did not see their wife children since 4 to 8 years, it is definitely a Modern days slavery, the best you can do is avoid visiting Dubai, spend time in Europe to see real nature.
Nobody forced them to go. They went there to earn money ( more than they could earn at home). I’m from Australia and if you want to earn lots of money here you go out west for weeks at a time and work at the mines. It’s not much fun, but it’s where the bulk money is. It’s a similar situation.
If you plan to move to work there, before you leave, apply for another passport even if yours hasn’t expired yet. Some countries likes the US do that. Or just lie and say you lost it. Then when you get second passport, and your employers takes it from you, then you’ll have your old one as a backup and EVEN IF it’s expired you can still fly home.
Right. I did not succumb to working abroad to earn dollars because somehow one way or another they will make you a pathetic slave notwithstanding the inhumane treatment of employers. Now its official its out there work to enrich your own country's resources and together we will beat poverty.
Of course, blame the people looking for work to feed their families. The people exploiting them for obscene profits though? Nothing wrong there, apparently.
Once you get into Dubai and they confiscate your passport, you’re shut out from the outside world. I have a high school buddy who went there and his family hasn’t heard from him in 7 years. No calling or texting or emailing. Some of his family members have since died. It is very sad. I would never vacation in a place washed up with tears and sorrows in the name of luxury. I do have a conscience.
After just coming from a trip to Dubai visiting my girlfriend who happens to be an expat worker from a much poorer country, I got to see first hand everything described in this video. Thanks for this, it's time the world wakes up to the terrifying truth to the real cost of all the shiny objects masquerading as human progress. Behind every flashy building are millions of poor people doing the real work necessary to maintain such excessive, luxurious lifestyles.
Sorry but Dubai is a welcoming place for everyone and it focuses first on its citizens we have everything here such as insurance, houses, and everything although do you have that in your home country? No other country treats it’s people like Dubai does. The first priority will ofcourse be the citizens. This world has different people and different levels. Not everyone will be rich and not everyone will be poor. That’s just how life is, everyone works hard to reach where they are and our leaders give everyone and not just citizens everything. Where will you find a place like this???
So true, my cousin went to work in Dubai with a promised salary, they shared a room with many people{bedbugs on another level), he ate 3 slices of bread daily after being promised accommodation and food. His salary was 50 dollars after all the false deductions they impose. Thank God he left and is now in another country. Let this message spread and expose this evilness. One thing is clear, God does not sleep, judgement is upon this land.
I met this good young man in Dubai metro this year. He was from Trinidad and he wasn't impressed at all with Dubai. My brother advised him to go back. Dubai just glitters, but it is a rotten community built only for the rich.
Ameen Allahu akbar! Judgement Day will come and hell fire is real! Woe to those who in luxury and haf the people working for them and treated them as slaves! If do nothing to change injustice you share this indictment!
There’s always a reason why the top people always have a lot of money because thay scam the little guy and if they’re an immigrant they can do whatever they want to them because if you’re an immigrant in Dubai you have less rights and someone who is born there
Dubai is supported by some rich and powerful countries in the world. Everyone turns blind to the sufferings of poor people from South Asia and Africa .
My friend's elder sister went to work as a Nurse for an ailing old couple in Dubai in the late 80's, she was in her mid twenties, the barbaric cruelty she had to endure there for 3 whole year's was horrible, she was treated worse than an animal, she had to cook, clean the house, etccc and was also repeatedly raped and sodomized by the men of the house. Now this lady is in her late 50's and living happily in a very beautiful Hill Station in South India but even nowadays the very mention of the name Dubai/Saudi brings tears to her eyes.
when i was still working in dubai and abu dhabi, i've met many african workers, and they told me that since they come from africa, they are not getting jobs in the food industry. these africans who became my friends admitted that they don't get the job simply because they are black, usually big restaurants in uae prefers other nationalities from asia rather from africa. this is true and quite disgusting. racism exists in uae.
I used to walk to the school were i taught tennis at Reem Island, Abu Dhabi and I'd see these construction workers everyday working and toiling day and night and sometimes I just couldn't look these men in the eyes. I was ashamed. These are family men, probably respected and loved back home in there respective countries and they are literally treated like animals. Lost a lot of respect for the Emirates.
The richer the Arab country, the worse it will exploit anyone non Arab (maybe there are exceptions to this but I haven't seen many.). This video didn't even touch on the horrors that women migrant workers in hospitality type industries probably are suffering as well. Maids, housekeepers, and other services, the laboring women viewed as outsiders get treated like Ragdolls. *EDIT!* I did see right after clicking out of this video the other day that this channel has more videos on the topic of sex trafficking and migrant women abuses in places like Dubai.
They even treat other arab nationals the same way, it's the main problem of Arab world they don't love their own kind, whoever has more money treat others like shit, it's no wonder why no one likes UAE, qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain they have made a lot of money instead of helping other arab nations they spend vast amount of their money on military, luxury, funding...... (Everyone knows what I meant)
it's unbelievable and yet scary how the gulf countries have developed and turned to be so diametrically and far away from the Islamic ethiques, moral and creed. 😮
I am an IT Project Manager and yes, my passport was taken by my (sponsor) company while I worked with them. I was paid less than 1000 US at the time (1998-2000) and yes they tried to ben me when I found a better paying job working for a college and wanted to move. They considered me (unskilled labor) although at the time I had 1 MSc. in Physics. I was discriminated against because I carried an Iraqi passport. Dont fall into the Dubai/Abu Dhabi trapping - my advice after working for 20 years there
@@diegoreviewexpert2598 don't know if they do the same, but one common thing with human traffickers is asking for the passport to do a register or to take copies of the documents for your job file and never give it back. Sometimes they just straight up threat people into giving their documents or take from their rooms when they're away from their luggage.
When I was in the military we went to Dubai. I shit you not all of this is quite true. It's glitzy and impressive and it's a distraction to the inhumanity that is going on there, including human trafficking. It's horrific.
You are absolutely right, nothing has change. As a service member, I was there in 2003, 2005, 2008 and 2010. We heard the horror stories from the foreigners that were working on base. They considered themselves the lucky ones to be working on the base.
@juma hashim The workers come from third world countries with very few job opportunities and there have been many campaigns and warnings about the terrible treatment of workers in the UAE as well as Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. The point is that UAE is a wealthy country that markets itself on luxury yet the country is built on the blood and sweat of modern day slave labor. The Kafala system has been a target of human rights activists for decades. Occasionally they will pretend to change a law to appeal to the civilized world but it's all about appearance.
My Australian niece who lives in Sydney, a glamorous natural blond blue eyed slim ex model and works in the Skin Care Beauty Consortium a renowned company is Sydey. She has friends who are influencers and some have moved to Dubai, now married with a child. She has visited a number of times and always had a good time and enjoyed her vacation. She even had an Arab boyfriend who lives in Sydney and his parents run a business in New Zealand. However, she decided to accept her Dubai friends offer to go and work and live there. She organised her rental apartment and planned on a 6 month stay. She found out that her married friends would not be available for night time social activities and therefore bonded with an Eastern European single girl for those activities. She also discovered how badly she was treated in beauty work by the clients etc and seen as nothing more than a slave and she found this unsafe! It is possible because of so many Social Influencers going into Dubai for the affluent night time scene, being a young single westerner, was probably seen as one of them and that could also have been a factor in how she may have been seen in locals eyes? Moral is that 'The Grass" may be greener, but lush grass may come with a nasty taint!
Yes, I have been to Dubai over 10 times. I have seen the migrant workers as well. All you have to do is talk to the taxi drivers. You will get a sense of the work conditions from them. Some of them have been in the country for years and have families back home. They usually team up with other works to afford a place to live. This is not the only country in the middle east with this problem.
And yet you went 10 times to support their misery. You should stop traveling. When money stops flowing the worker will be free to go. What have you done traveling 10 times? Anything constructive. God bless you poor soul. Don’t reply back as I will not look. I don’t get notifications etc. don’t have time for BS. Do something good , if not for you then do for others..
@@plantengineer01 while I agree they should stop going back, you being snobby and cringe acting like your life is so interesting that they shouldn’t reply is an indication of your trashy personality as well.
Thats not correct. All workers are either have their accommodation provided by the companies or paid an allowance for that. Majority of taxi drivers any where in the world will give you a negative image of that country especially if he was an expact.
You havent mentioned that unpaid workers are very common also in Dubai. My sister was one among them, who worked as accounts assistant in a construction company...6 months without pay plus other unpaid benefits as per the contract. And the company never paid until today...no help from the government even if she and other colleagues filed complaints/case in the court. My sister is now back in our country and still hoping that the 6 months that she worked for will be paid someday...but how? Dont go to Dubai coz you will just be feeding the monster!!!
Do it, just leave that city prison. I recommend you do some online work like affiliate marketing ect and other freelance work and save enough money to relocate to Australia 😇
They would, but since dubai is an "Islamic" country that literally doesn't follow the rules Islam, the voices of the poor don't matter and they'll be jailed.. It's such a shame that they call themselves Muslims yet treat poor people like this.. Did you know that in Islam the rich are supposed to give yearly charity known as zakat to poor people, I don't see any of that shit man
no the best would be for workers to simply stop going there for work... it's sad but having to live in these awful conditions while being almost like in jail is worse.
I learned this in architecture school. Many construction workers from South Asia, Nepal and Philippines work in horrible and unsafe condition. Many got injured and some even died. This is terrible. I hope things will change.
yes its true... many came from Philippines. buildings roads. nannys. name the work description and you have someone from the philippines. india. south asia... dubai is the product of ofw and oil. ... sad to say ofw are given just enough wages... not compensating enough for ...workers away from home year in year out.
Everything you said is Truth, right now I live and work in Dubai and my salary is 200 USD for months sometime you can work for four months before getting one month salary.. only by the grace of God we are living in Dubai.. life is not easy so if you see yourself doing well give thanks and appreciate to Your creator... haven said all, I live Ras Al Khaimah
This is good. I lived in Dubai for almost 3 years and during that time, the truth kept coming closer and closer to my awareness and I felt literally sick from the coverups and the inequality and the surreal glamour. I finally left because I couldn't justify my life there any more.
And still the governments want to do as much business as possible with Dubai in every businessman wants to move his business to Dubai Dubai is literally a city built by the rich for the rich
@@Helfirehydratrans and? Most governments do horrific things. You are incredibly naive. No shit it's made for the rich. You think they spent all that money to build an Emirate for some poor fuckers from Mumbai? 😂
@@Helfirehydratrans no you are wrong...from the whole dubai population only approx. 10% are rich...and 20% are well off...then 40% are doing ok and the remaining 30% are struggling to survive.
Yeah, that's completely true. I have stayed in Dubai for 6 months and in these 6 months, I have hardly seen any local emirate family. I have seen 99% of the employees are ex-pats from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, India, and Africa (Nigeria, Keyna, etc.), other arab developing countries like (Egpyt, Jordan etc) are having slavery-trapped jobs those are actually the main guys of the liveable UAE. Those who should be treated a better life. They need to change that slavery to a better life. They snatch their passports from ex-pats and treat them like slaves. That is the biggest problem of it.

It's no better in Saudi. I was working there making $160k tax free and we had hundreds of guys from the Philippines that worked 6 days a week making $1 an hour. They put me up in a 3 bedroom all marble apartment with full maid service and the guys from the Philippines slept in camps out in the desert. It was so messed up. I couldn't wait to get out of there!
Thank you for telling the truth "beyond the glamour & glitteriest your eyes could see" is the darkest side of working and living in Dubai. The dark sides of Migrants worker in UAE, Dubai.
Having lived in Dubai for a couple of years, I sensed the superficiality of our existence with our lives there - where we are almost compelled to be blind, deaf and mute about the unpleasant things we are seeing behind all the glitters around us.
Yes! If you aren't working in Dubai you will not understand the situation of living and working in Dubai.. I m working with an construction company here, it's not easy for me but I believe in myself that am not going to give up... you don't go for work one day you will be cut three days from your salary being sick or not..
Addition to this, my experience with the Dubai is also not very great. At the time of arrival and immigration every single person at the staff is rude and arrogant. They treat us Indian like some second class citizen, I clearly remember the disgust look on the guy's face at the immigrations. Honestly I didn't feel welcome there at all.
I live and work here in dubai and I have seen the living conditions of these worker class immigrants. And trust me no one would ever want a life like that. It’s really hard to live a live in this city if you don’t earn enough money. And the inequalities are beyond comparison.
There are also hundreds, maybe thousands of illegal housemaids from India, The Phillipines and other parts of South Asia as well as South East Asia. These maids (most of them young girls) were promised high pays and other benefits. Some of them were even tricked with the promise of working at Casinos, malls or restaurants.However, the reality is the opposite. They were flown into Dubai with tourist visas and as soon as they reached UAE, their passports were taken from them by the employment agencies. Then they were thrown into a kind of hostel where their phones were taken from them, blocking any contact with the outside world. They were presented in front of UAE residents in need of maids and these people known as employers, pick a girl and take them home for trial. If they don't like the girl they return them after 2-3 days. If they did keep them, these girls were forced to work for 2 years i.e the duration of the contract. They were not allowed to quit before completing their contract ie 2 years. Their passports were withheld during this period. So there is no way for them to escape. These girls were treated like commodities. They worked 18 hours a day and were treated like slaves. Many of them suffered physical, mental and even sexual abuse from their employers. Many of them were not fed properly. They were mostly given leftovers and some even go on days without food. Worst of all they were underpaid. Employment agencies usually took most of their hard earned money saying that they have to pay for so called loans (plane ticket, passport, transportation fees etc etc.) Even if these poor girls wants to go back to their countries (most of them wanted to go home), the employment agencies asked them to pay them the money they have spent on them (plane tickets etc) as well as the amount they would've made if they worked for 2 years. These girls are from poor households so of course they couldn't afford. They are stuck in this hell for years with no way out. The most heartbreaking part is that they went to this dazzling city Dubai, the land of luxury and skyscrapers in search for a better life and to provide for their families back home only to find out that it is hell on earth.

I was there many years ago on a business trip. I was in awe of the wonderful architecture, still in progress. The city was under construction everywhere, but it never occurred to me that a country that oil wealthy wouldn't pay their workers a decent wage. I would have been horrified that they had forced labor, slave labor creating all of the glitter and soaring structures. Back then, it all looked glorious to me. But I would have felt differently had I known then what I have learned since.
It's pure, unbridled capitalism. The government and even the locals financing these projects don't have a direct say in the conditions of workers. Everything is handled by contractors vying to get tenders by reducing their bidding price to as low as possible. In doing so, they cut corners everywhere and worker safety and conditions suffer the most
@@RexGalilae Capitalism isn't bad, just unbridled capitalism is. There ought to be regulations in place that protect workers, and in most countries there is. But in the Middle East, anything goes. Poor countries where people are starving produce desperate workers who will go anywhere and do anything to earn $$. In some places they become slaves and earn nothing. It's an international outrage. It's the fault of local governments...they have the power to protect those hapless slaves, but don't.
@@8journey8 did you write "in the middle east"? so your generalising the whole region just because of 30% of the struggling to survive population in 1 middle eastern country?? Did you know there are 4million hungry homless people in the US, and another 4million people over there who are illegaly mishandled from employers such as cheap labourers, sex workers, waiters, construction workers, truck drivers...the list is loooong. And then thers another approx. 8million people who are struggling to survive on wherever money can come from.Then thers approx. another few million who live from 1 paycheck to another... the successful, comfortable easier life percentage of people in US population is less than half its number... I'm only taking the US as 1 example of a western nation, but that does not mean every single western nation is the same... so please do not generalise about the middle east, since every country is individual with its individual laws....what is going on in dubai is not ideal or correct in many ways but at the same time there is alot of good and success for many in dubai.
America is the same. I am a federal whistleblower in LOUISIANA I took in horrific documents on my formal supervisor RAY LAMONICA LSU LAW PROFESSOR/GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. Documents murder rape children molestation pedophile pornography child trafficking human trafficking/slavery billionaire criminal empire organization.

I am persecuted even in my home by family members. These officials spread lies slander political smear campaign discredit me. Infiltrated bribe family members to assassinate my character to make their story seem believable. Even the worst street criminals in LOUISIANA work for this billionaire criminal empire organization. RAY LAMONICA/GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS trafficking children through some of their corrupt government contractors.
I lived near Dubai for six months and had the opportunity to visit it several times and can confirm with everything said in this video. I was able to see the faces of Dubai the lavish and the slave trade there. Great video!
Been there, seen all of it, its a modern day slavery, you have 10-15% of locals and majority of people are Indians and Pakistanians, honestly it was heart breaking hearing their stories. Even though emiratis help all people around the world, these things were major problem. Islam doesnt approve of treating people like that, and noone really has any guts to speak out or do anything about it in UAE.
Exactly. In Dubai, most Emiratis view slavery as acceptable. But in the USA, many blacks convert to Islam to seek freedom after their ancestors had been slaves under Christian masters. Example: Muhammed Ali and Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
@@carlosorellana7685 there is no slavery in Dubai. People with limited knowledge post anything they wish just to try and show that they know something about Dubai, when in fact they know nothing.
I studied in Taiwan and I had so many Indian colleagues who had the same scholarship I had, I used to live in a one room apartment that costed me 30% of the income while my Indian colleagues used to share it 8 students a room. They saved a lot of money and wired it to their families back in India. I assumed they are not getting any income from the standard of living they had so I was shocked to know that they do get the same scholarship! And I later witnessed that when they get better scholarships, they still share room 8 students a room and they used keep asking how could live alone?! they thought its too lonely and they used to invite me to their amazing food whenever we met at the lobby. I dont mean any offense, these were nice people, and I have always admired their maturity and ability to save for their bad days, thats something an Arab like myself cannot do. The point I am trying to make is that its hard to judge their employer from their living standards, you'd be shocked when you meet people with terrible living standard while having more money than you do. I had literally zero savings and I spent every dime I made, while they went back to India with lots of savings already.
Just came back from 7 days tour with my mom, I saw most of the tourists area and happy that we came for a tour but that's all about it. We felt uncomfortable to make mistakes because of the justice system we are hearing. Actually my cousin experienced this cruelty when she work there, the salary and work is not congruent to what she was promised, so she beg to go back in our country. She was put to jail and she was banned to go back even for a tour. My cousin is an educated person and now living in Florida USA as immigrant. Thanks God she survived, but she still having PTSD on that country, specially when she learned we are going there for a visit.
Absolutely true! I was in Dubai for 4years in Fly Emirates Catering company. A rich big company. 90percent of the workers are immigrants from different parts of the country. And Im one of those workers. They treat you as slaves working 12hours a day with 1 day off in a week. No sick days allowed, overtimed work is forced. Accomadation is provided but 6 people on bank beds in one room sharing one washroom and a kitchen. Its a slavery job i would say, no protection from laborers. If u complain no one ever listen to you. Lavish country but full of slavery and greed and racist. Not safe especially for foreign women. They dont treat you as equal. Based on my 4 years experience , I like the place but the people is a Big No! Scary and not a safe place to live!
After having a first hand experiencing your still saying you like the place even though it was created and still being supported on the back, sweat and tears of slave labor? Sounds like if you was part of the wealthy class you would have no problems living the glamour life in Dubai with the occasion " its sad and i hope it changes". Not judging your choices just making an observation.
I've been to dubai to dubai many times ( I live close by) and since I'm a Pakistani I hear and understand the shit the poor people are going through, I hate that place.. I can confirm that there's ALOT of racism going on there by arabi people, even though its a major sin in Islam.. Unfortunately not just dubai, it's the whole of UAE, dubai is just 100 times worse, most people fail to see that the money they're spending is going to rich people who used the poor in a bad way.. I swear the rich people of UAE are going against Islam and the rights it gives to poor people, eventually this will come to bite them in the ass real hard
@@basemalshomali1462 Piss off, the devil especially tempts people when they’re weak & vulnerable - not when they’re stable. Attracting poor people to work in Dubai is like dangling a carrot in front of a rabbit.
My friend everybody is racist.Let's put a black person in Pakistan and see how racist they will be. The problem is because everybody is trained to kiss white people asses.
Whatever the explanation throughout this video is correct. I have been in dubai and Kuwait for 5 years. It was one of wrost experiences. I am in Norway now. 🇳🇴 one of the best country in the world..
WHOA! everything you said are TRUE... i was once a migrant worker in Dubai working for Al Habtoor Group... i was one of the lucky one's who stayed in a condo near the Emirates Tower at Shiekh Zayed Road... but within our company, there are plenty of stories way-way far beyond the things you've discussed in your video... (far more worse!)
Please, i live in south eastern europe and minimum salary is 657 USD. This is also modern slavery. All IT corporations are here and they all pay the same, at the country level. Someone who goes to another country to work for a better salary is a grown up which decides for himself. No one is forcing the indians to go to Dubai. They go because what they earn there feeds a family of 6 at home..I find Dubai amazing and it‘s the best place i have ever been in. It‘s clean, very safe and very modern. Bravoo to the sheik !!!
@@RexGalilae YES that´s because you are probably a Brit, American or European, go in Dubai to work with an Indian or Philipino passport, and then you will see...
I only stay in Dubai for 3 days as tourist. As tourist it was nice place to visit, expensive compares to a lot of European cities I visited, but still cool place to visit. But workers I spoke I can feel they have a lot stress on their shoulder. 12-14 hours working days are pretty common for quite little money. I spent 30 dollars for a burger and Pepsi in Dubai mall which will be enough for someone week of living. That is a bit sad.
Beem to dubai 2 years ago. Its definitely in a league of its own. Didnt see any outright instances of modern day slavery. However being from kerala,india ive heard of the horror stories of our people who have moved there for a better quality of life. Safe to say,i didnt particularly feel at home while vacationing there. The luxury and glamour felt a bit suffocating tbh. Hope the sense of humanity prevails and these workers are given the treatment they deserve.
One thing is there Kerala people are sustaining here especially Muslims sorry to say hun Kerala muslims are same like this Arabs here fanatic ,and uncivilised non muslim Keralalites are fine and friendly progressive also
I remember stopping there on my first deployment back in '06. There were "black listed" areas that the ironically enough, pretty much everyone went directly towards and in one clothing store, I took a wrong door that appeared to be well hidden. When I went up the stairs, the entire upper area was a sweat shop. It was hot as hell up there and yes, the people looked very uncomfortable. That place was built on pain and suffering.
That is why rasullullah saw has reminded 14 thousand yrs ago that I worry most about my people are three things. First the worldliness is so abundant that human beings envy each other….. 😭😭😭 alhamdulliah for what Allah swt has given to me.
Ja sam bio kao turista u Dubaiju . To je moj prvi i poslednji put . Pored svog tog raskosa posmatrao sam te mucene radnike ... grad bez duse i bez vazduha ...
This is a good, informative video. The world is full of injustice and real social justice warriors do NOT abound. Most are hypocrites, unfortunately, so people who are really in need often do not get help.
I'm a malaysian and visited Dubai in 2019. What a wonderful country. The desert, shopping and sky scrapers but after what i hear from this video, i think these labourers should not go to Dubai looking for odd jobs. Stay in your country and work hard. There are many people came up through hardship in india
Sadly Dubai isn't the only place this happens. Pretty much any rich, tourist attraction based city/ state/ country is probably built on the backs of local slave labor
This is just disgusting how they treat the innocent people whom they hire to bring to their country to help build their city.. horrifficly disgusting!!!🤬
i been to Dubai last year, after watching this my amazement of the beauty of it turned to sadness for those workers not treated fairly. May things be changed.
Never will be, You'll feel the same way of Japan as well. It's slavery is high and suicide rate is rapidly high, you'll feel amazing at first with its glorious culture and anime, but you'll feel sad knowing the truth of everything. Same goes to dubai, it looks futuristic and nice, but with the workers and slaves it isn't.. - I'm still in dubai, but my parents are working hard and i'm not rich or poor, but we know how to manage things well in gods help.. 😌 - but take note that it is not dubai who does this but also loads of countries as well.. - Singapore and Japan as a good example of it..
I used to go to Dubai every month to renew my visa to work in Saudi Arabia. I went to a bar for a cold beer and a tiny little Philippina about 4'8" came up to me and wouldn't leave. Then she started telling me she just got there that day. She was promised a good job as a maid and they took her passport when she landed. She looked terrified. She told me she had to do sex for money or she'd never be able to leave the country. I took her back to my hotel and told her to call whoever she needed to and tell them she was staying the night and I would pay for the whole night. I didn't want or try to have sex with her but I did pay her so she wouldn't get into trouble. She told me how horrible her treatment was when she handed them her passport. She went with me the next day to the airport and she was crying as I left her at the security checkpoint. I've always hoped she was able to escape. I would have flown her out myself if I could have. It was a horrible thing to witness and it's actually made me lose sleep.
Very accurate video, I lived in Qatar and Abu Dhabi and seen how these workers were squeezed into buses everyday working from the crack of dawn until sunset and they looked so tired their heads against the windows of the buses sleeping I heard they were earring $300 a month working 6 days a week in crazy heat and desperate shared living conditions. Its so wrong. I couldn't live in a country long term that is treating their workers like that. The world is too greedy and especially in Dubai.
I’m a resident here since 2020 and there’s no darkside here it’s way more safe here no shooting, no thieves, no drugs , no zombie drugs , no murders we don’t know that
Everything mentioned in this video is absolutely true. They must change the labor practices in Dubai and stop exploring workers from poor countries with promises of nice life and high salaries which don't exist. These are the human rights violations and should be condemnd. UNO human rights organizaion need to look into these serious crimes and take action. 😳😳

I kept asking myself from when Dubai was just desert... to now (on how glamorous they made it out to be). How did they get it done so fast? Sad, cause in the back of my head I already knew the answer. I thought so.
It's a mess over there especially being African. I was in Sharjah and within 8months I changed jobs twice cos I couldn't cope with the hours,living condition and pay. Last place I worked I had to pay to get my passport back before I could leave the job and the country. Back home now trying to figure it out all again.wssted time amd money on empty promises and lies on the job contracts.
I have been there in dubai, its not just 5 people in one room but its like 8 some cases 12 or 16 people in one room Also they show all the luxury and kindness to out side world but in dark side of dubai like you said sonapur and jabal ali like places you can see hell. I have been in an accomedation where there is no canteen, no saloon, no other basic infrastructure facilities, Passports are ceased by the company so you can't raise your voice, if u raise your voice it will affect immediate termination or they will put you in some job location that is like hell its not just a company doing this most of the contracting company they recruit staffs from south asia and deploy in various companies in uae
I recently visited Dubai in January and most of February. Stayed in a boys hostel in an older neighborhood, in Bur Dubai, full of coughing guests, but luckily didn't get sick since I was smart enough to keep my mask on throughout the entire stay. It also had a foul odor,, the whole time. Stayed for 17 nights. Only complaint was that it smelled foul every time I entered the building, but keeping my face mask on really helped. There were also constant gnats/fruit flies in the bathroom, but got used to it. There were no washer, only dryer, so i had to go to the laundromat nearby whenever I needed, which also led me to showering less often than usual. I'm the kind of person who usually have a scratchy scalp when i shower because of the colder weather, but thankfully for the constant humidity, it was non-existent.
I was in Dubai in October 2018. First to put me off was the heat. Then I saw migrant workers in a bus that was out of place on the city's roads. Lastly, as I was doing late afternoon and early morning walks, I saw migrant worker shacks at the back of construction sites. I agree with this video. However, this situation is common in most major cities and countries in the world. Foreigners are exploited by wealthy host countries. Slavery in the US and European nations need no elaboration. As we point out the evil in Dubai, let us not do so without acknowledging similar ills elsewhere.
@@thiswasme5452 There are also standards in Gulf states, and pretty much everywhere. Tell us which country does not have standards. You missed the point. Wealthy nations ignore ethical practice and deliberately exploit migrant workers mostly from poor countries. In the US and Europe that you mention, there is a modern form of institutional injustice against migrant workers where, despite one having legitimate work permit, and regardless of competence level, there are no equal employment opportunities, rising up the corporate ladder is hard, and salary levels are not equitable.
@@thiswasme5452 How do you measure and distinguish "hard" between the so-called West and the Gulf states? Why have institutional glass ceilings for migrant workers in the first place? Any attempt to compare or distinguish between the levels of that discrimination and exploitation between the two regions is inconsequential.
This video is honest. The truth about Dubai and similar countries that exploit labor is undeniable. I was considering applying for a residence permit in Dubai through their investment program, but I think I'll look elsewhere.
@@greenleaf8226 What is your point? That labor exploitation does not happen in Dubai? Or it does? If it does, then this video is honest. Other things that also might happen in Dubai are not the subject of this video and were left out. Simple logic seems to escape you. I know many people who work or have worked in Dubai and in nearby UAE countries. There is no "exaggeration" in saying that a lot of murky stuff goes on there.
@@budsurtees4224 yes alot of "murky stuff" as you put it does go on in the gulf countries...but...also alot of decent, clean, successful stuff goes on with employees and labour...its not all bad.Also Dubai is not a land full of rich people, there is a very small percentage of the population that are rich, nor does Dubai have lots of oil...so this video is somewhat correct but not completely...the picture being portrayed is an exggeration... if we want to talk cheap labour, bad living conditions, illegal employer behaviour etc..etc...etc... then many countries worldwide excercise such ugliness from the US to certain European countries to far East Asia to the sub continent...its a sadly common practice everywhere
@@ultimatelatina they get treated like trash, some get raped or murdered. Many of these poor women are mostly from the Philippines but also from other parts of Africa. Some of these women get raped and pregnant and killed.

I’m bussines man myself I own night clubs in London and this is the first time I been to dubai , as bussines man I like to watch thing discover things and see how people run company and business . And dubai is what you just said it’s on your video modern slavery 100/100 . Here how I know this we been to this restaurant and I see this young guy working behind the bar I watched him hours how hard working person he was and the experience he had with drinks and cocktails , so I start speaking to him he finish university of base in food and drinks tasting and mixers his experience are very high . So my bill was 900£ for food and drinks for 2 people which is fine I can afford that I’m willing to pay high price in high end restaurants. However he was working 12 hours day and his wages was only 300 dollar month . So my question is this how could you sell food for 900£ and pay staff 300£ month ? So cut long story to sort he said for dubai that’s good money other people gets like 100 dollars month . So I offers him job in London working for me

I had a friend who went to Dubai to work...but came back home after 8 months. It was such a relief to see my friend arrive home safely. But my heart broke to hear of the trauma experienced by many workers there. The people who help build Dubai with their bare hands ought to be treated with civility, dignity, respect and deep gratitude.
True but this ain’t western culture nothing you can do about it
I will never visit Dubai.the Emirs are heartless .
I agree! 👍
Slavery in Arabs blood.. They can't do without it. I pity people who see Arabs as people who believe in civility and equality.
How was America or the UK built?
I worked as a site engineer in Dubai, Yes, the migrant laborers are treated so poorly . They work long hours, have pathetic accommodations, and was forced to work in the scorching heat. Sometimes I won't be able to look them in the eyes. It's a soulless city.

Thanks for sharing. They should be sanctioned by the UN for their human rights abuses.
You were never in Dubai
I went to Dubai over the summer. I really enjoyed myself while I was there, but once I met the locals, rather it be Pakistani, people from Bangladesh, or India, and some Africans, I knew that it wasn’t the place for me. All that glitz and glam is off the backs of darker people and I don’t like that. I didn’t like the fact that I got to be comfortable and lavish, but the locals people that helped build this city are being treated like trash. As I was about to leave Dubai, I felt that darkness and most likely won’t go again
@Kris C I hate when people do the deflection bs .. he is talking specifically about Dubai you can bring the US in another topic he just said Dubai he never said U.S was perfect.
@Kris C seem like you defending dubai.
You can hate the US as much as you want. the US is far from perfect but you can not sit here and act like dubai is as perfect as they make it seems . How about you pack your bags and move to a different country and never come back to the states ? Their are people all around the world killing themselves to come get the opportunity over here .. Their is a reason why the US is world power they have done alot of bs and still doing alot of Bs but this countries has more freedom than any other nation . This country is where people come to become whom ever the want to be..
@Kris C lmao name me one Nation with more freedom than US? You can't cause they don't exist. The reason why china is doing so well is cause right now the US is divided . China is communist country not to mention the nation's are not holding china accountable. If you Hate America for being corrupt then that fair however you better keep the same energy when it come to dubai and china especially china where they have concentration camp for Muslims. people want cheap labor which is why they go to china other than that china has nothing on the states. They are stealing other countries tech while people in the US sell their country men to china .. so now name me a Country where they have more freedom than America imma wait .even UK doesn't have the same amount of rights. Anyone can become someone over here that just the facts while countries like My home country no matter how hard you work you won't see no change .. you can hate the US that fine but you can't also sit down and act like dubai is better than the US or say dubai has no corruption cause that would be a massive lie ..
@Kris C this just show you know nothing about capitalism socialism and communism. You know absolutely nothing about china your " china does real business" lmao you hate America so much you are willing to look pass china and what they are doing things like this just shows you don't seriously stand by you principles you just say things out of air that you think makes sense .
It is right the US is corrupt plus china does not have a bigger market than the US not yet.. they are close but not yet.
I can say that however you are out here making false statements just so you can fit your narrative which shows you're are not operating on logic you are operating on feeling Which is fine. I won't say uk is more stable than US . Both the US and UK are alot similar than you think. Ofc UK has terrorism problems going on over there aswell but let not talk about that since you said they are more stable . The biggest part where you "argument starts to crumble is how you ignore that china is a communists country literally their government is call the CCP for a reason .
Chinese communists party it has the name communists in it .
Kenya doesn't have more freedom than the state that also false .
You really have the audacity to say Kenya has more freedom than the states? However the media is lying about US actually they are the same people talking bad about the state lying to people about the state. You know nothing about politics .you're just acting on your feelings and ignoring the rest you ain't cut out for this..
US has it problems no doubt but you can't tell me China is any better. We can both point out the flaws and goods but I'm sure you know nothing about china so I'm going to give you a pass on that one.
@Kris C the thing is you're saying this to a african born individual. I've seen what the worst part of society can result in . I've traveled and I don't listen to media cause it's bs . You know nothing about china the crazy thing is you're gas lighting. You know how closed of china is to the rest of the world ? Do you know they are harvesting organs from minority? Do you know if you go to china and talk bad about the Ccp you would be jailed or killed? This is the disingenuous arguments I can't stand. You obviously know nothing about china yet talking on it like you know so much. To be fair I don't know too much about it but I've studied enough about to see that it not all rainbow and unicorns.
Just cause you have one case of a family member enjoying the life in Dubai doesn't mean that how most minority experience it
You know the reason why china start blowing up economically is cause of capitalism and how they started accepting trade with different countries? The same reason you dislike the Us can be said about china' as well the crazy thing they are still doing genocide against a minority group . I'm going to state it again that you don't act on principles you act on emotions. I don't know much about dubai but based on what I've read and what I've been told by my siblings it not as good as some might claim
But yes it's still a beautiful country.
And About the cops that arguably the US has 300+ million people and only few people get killed a year by cop relative to population size and the amount of death its decent.
I am Indian and could relate to everything what is mentioned here. The worst part was I was working as management consultant to major construction companies both in Abu Dhabi and Dubai and I used to suggest measures to improve productivity of the direct workforce. While interacting with the labour at the construction sites, I just used to sympathize with their living conditions and insane working hours under the sun. Once a worker approached me and said - Sir, we have so many people sharing room and bathrooms that if we want to have shower, we need to get up at 4 AM in the morning and join the queue as we need to report to work at 6 AM. The only suggestion I would give to those seeking to go to middle east - you can make equally good money working in major Indian cities as carpenter, plumber or electrician by being your own boss, trust me.
P.S Edit: Thanks for all your likes and comments. There are lots of repetitive questions which I wish to answer here rather than replying individually
1) For those of you asking me why I worked in Dubai if treated badly.....I worked as consultant to construction companies, not as skilled labor...I did not experience the atrocities like what the labor force faced, my comments were mere reflection of what I have SEEN and HEARD first hand
2) Those saying salary is more in Dubai compared to what he can earn in India, please read my comments below, I have shared the salary comparison for your reference. Again, this is from my own experience having worked with multiple major contractors, feel free to vet with your own research
3) To those who say the workers don't even get water in India and they must be happy that atleast water is available in the camps they stay in Dubai, you must be either blind or freaking speak through your ass....Don't have anything further to say on these baseless comments
4) Many have asked why despite all of these issues the workers migrate there...Well like mentioned in the comments, the agent promises something and reality is something else. Now with social media and exposure, lesser people are opting to go and work in the ME.
FINALLY, I don't have anything against Emiratis, Omanis, Saudis etc....Many of the Arabs I had worked with are very nice and friendly people. Also I have nothing against their government. My entire objective of this post is to bring awareness to the people going to work in the ME (especially the skilled ones going there to work in construction sites). Ask your agent to give referrals of people who are at present in the ME...Speak with them and their family to enquire on the working conditions. Many might still want to go and work there, but atleast you know what's in store when you get there. PERIOD!
Very true!
But what about the passport taking away ?
@@plainsaw3771 not sure about that. Usually the hiring happens through an agent from their home countries. The employer sponsors their air fare one way after the workers complete 2 years. The clients I worked for in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are pretty renowned ones, to my knowledge it was not bonded labour although working conditions were bad for the workers
@@plainsaw3771 its true company is a big fish and you are the small one.

I went to Dubai years ago and was fascinated by the modern buildings and tourist trappings. I saw many of these workers in dirty uniforms stacked on the back of trucks like cattle. It was only years later that I found out the stories about these workers and how they are treated. I will never go back to Dubai again. I feel like it is a place of hidden evil.

I went to the ministry of labor but it seems the officers there, didnt see me, instead treaten me to put me in the prison.

I can relate to this video. My fiance is Filipina and she worked there. Her company seized the passports of their workers which is illegal and even sent out a letter explaining they had the local authorities permission to hold their passports. They would also even hold their paychecks for stupid reasons and not give out a pay stub. She would be upset she worked so many hours and then they only payed her for half. Then because they weren't giving out the pay statement she couldn't argue on her hours worked. One day she was at work and near the mall and saw a construction worker getting yelled at by locals cause he used the same door as them to go inside the mall. If your a construction worker then you are lower class and must use a different door to go inside the mall. She tried to leave and had to go through so much hoops to try to get her passport back. They also said she would have to pay a crazy amount of Durham's to quit her job and leave. It was like the equivalent of $1600 us dollars plus also have to buy a plane ticket back home. That would take ages for a migrant there to pay that. I helped her pay the fees and get back home and she is now back in the Philippines and we are waiting on our K1 visa. That place is horrible. Racism and discrimination there is beyond rampant. I strongly disapprove of anyone going there to work cause they think they will have a better life.
U r wrong and misguiding others I am a Pakistani national living in Dubai since last 34 years with my family in Dubai it is illegal by the governments order to keep the employees passport if any company keeping their employees passport and they complain to the police their company would be fined and their passport would be given them back we have more freedom in Dubai then our native country Long live Dubai Emirate and the Rulers

I completely agree with you. Not sure which Dubai some people live in where all they see Gulf as the best country but the reality is most of the labours are treated very badly. I, myself went to through some of the these situation even though I was working as a Jr. Accountant. Also I have been to Sonapur to meet my cousin and it looks so different and feels like you’re in a complete different country.
I use to visit Dubai from 1998 till 2005, I have seen myself miserable life of expat workers in Dubai, local Arabs do not care they treat them like animals, all those skyscrapers are made by Pakistan, Indian and Bangladeshi labours, in one room 8 to 10 people sleep, I had seen most of Bangladeshi labors who did not see their wife children since 4 to 8 years, it is definitely a Modern days slavery, the best you can do is avoid visiting Dubai, spend time in Europe to see real nature.

If you plan to move to work there, before you leave, apply for another passport even if yours hasn’t expired yet. Some countries likes the US do that. Or just lie and say you lost it. Then when you get second passport, and your employers takes it from you, then you’ll have your old one as a backup and EVEN IF it’s expired you can still fly home.
It will be canceled by the system the old passport

Sorry but Dubai is a welcoming place for everyone and it focuses first on its citizens we have everything here such as insurance, houses, and everything although do you have that in your home country? No other country treats it’s people like Dubai does. The first priority will ofcourse be the citizens. This world has different people and different levels. Not everyone will be rich and not everyone will be poor. That’s just how life is, everyone works hard to reach where they are and our leaders give everyone and not just citizens everything. Where will you find a place like this???
They treat the workers like slave
So true, my cousin went to work in Dubai with a promised salary, they shared a room with many people{bedbugs on another level), he ate 3 slices of bread daily after being promised accommodation and food. His salary was 50 dollars after all the false deductions they impose. Thank God he left and is now in another country. Let this message spread and expose this evilness. One thing is clear, God does not sleep, judgement is upon this land.
I met this good young man in Dubai metro this year. He was from Trinidad and he wasn't impressed at all with Dubai. My brother advised him to go back. Dubai just glitters, but it is a rotten community built only for the rich.

when i was still working in dubai and abu dhabi, i've met many african workers, and they told me that since they come from africa, they are not getting jobs in the food industry. these africans who became my friends admitted that they don't get the job simply because they are black, usually big restaurants in uae prefers other nationalities from asia rather from africa. this is true and quite disgusting. racism exists in uae.
I used to walk to the school were i taught tennis at Reem Island, Abu Dhabi and I'd see these construction workers everyday working and toiling day and night and sometimes I just couldn't look these men in the eyes.
I was ashamed.
These are family men, probably respected and loved back home in there respective countries and they are literally treated like animals.
Lost a lot of respect for the Emirates.
The richer the Arab country, the worse it will exploit anyone non Arab (maybe there are exceptions to this but I haven't seen many.). This video didn't even touch on the horrors that women migrant workers in hospitality type industries probably are suffering as well.

@juma hashim The workers come from third world countries with very few job opportunities and there have been many campaigns and warnings about the terrible treatment of workers in the UAE as well as Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. The point is that UAE is a wealthy country that markets itself on luxury yet the country is built on the blood and sweat of modern day slave labor. The Kafala system has been a target of human rights activists for decades. Occasionally they will pretend to change a law to appeal to the civilized world but it's all about appearance.

My Australian niece who lives in Sydney, a glamorous natural blond blue eyed slim ex model and works in the Skin Care Beauty Consortium a renowned company is Sydey. She has friends who are influencers and some have moved to Dubai, now married with a child. She has visited a number of times and always had a good time and enjoyed her vacation. She even had an Arab boyfriend who lives in Sydney and his parents run a business in New Zealand. However, she decided to accept her Dubai friends offer to go and work and live there. She organised her rental apartment and planned on a 6 month stay. She found out that her married friends would not be available for night time social activities and therefore bonded with an Eastern European single girl for those activities. She also discovered how badly she was treated in beauty work by the clients etc and seen as nothing more than a slave and she found this unsafe! It is possible because of so many Social Influencers going into Dubai for the affluent night time scene, being a young single westerner, was probably seen as one of them and that could also have been a factor in how she may have been seen in locals eyes?

Yes, I have been to Dubai over 10 times. I have seen the migrant workers as well. All you have to do is talk to the taxi drivers. You will get a sense of the work conditions from them. Some of them have been in the country for years and have families back home. They usually team up with other works to afford a place to live. This is not the only country in the middle east with this problem.
And yet you went 10 times to support their misery. You should stop traveling. When money stops flowing the worker will be free to go.
What have you done traveling 10 times? Anything constructive. God bless you poor soul.

Thank you for saying that. I felt the same, but appartently I was the only one in my group to feel that.

I gotta say, it’s the same for the U.S.
I've lived there for about 6 months and witnessed your claims. The same goes for the rest of the GCC; Saudi, Kuwait, QATAR, Oman, and Bahrain
@Tabris Lilium Arabs treat other Arabs like scum.
And we spend money for these Arabs?...we have been lied too.
Addition to this, my experience with the Dubai is also not very great. At the time of arrival and immigration every single person at the staff is rude and arrogant. They treat us Indian like some second class citizen, I clearly remember the disgust look on the guy's face at the immigrations. Honestly I didn't feel welcome there at all.
I once asked a fellow expat, why I don't feel at home here? She said because this city has no soul. I couldn't put it more aptly. Left 2 months later.
I live and work here in dubai and I have seen the living conditions of these worker class immigrants. And trust me no one would ever want a life like that. It’s really hard to live a live in this city if you don’t earn enough money. And the inequalities are beyond comparison.
There are also hundreds, maybe thousands of illegal housemaids from India, The Phillipines and other parts of South Asia as well as South East Asia. These maids (most of them young girls) were promised high pays and other benefits. Some of them were even tricked with the promise of working at Casinos, malls or restaurants.However, the reality is the opposite. They were flown into Dubai with tourist visas and as soon as they reached UAE, their passports were taken from them by the employment agencies. Then they were thrown into a kind of hostel where their phones were taken from them, blocking any contact with the outside world. They were presented in front of UAE residents in need of maids and these people known as employers, pick a girl and take them home for trial. If they don't like the girl they return them after 2-3 days. If they did keep them, these girls were forced to work for 2 years i.e the duration of the contract. They were not allowed to quit before completing their contract ie 2 years. Their passports were withheld during this period. So there is no way for them to escape. These girls were treated like commodities. They worked 18 hours a day and were treated like slaves. Many of them suffered physical, mental and even sexual abuse from their employers. Many of them were not fed properly. They were mostly given leftovers and some even go on days without food. Worst of all they were underpaid. Employment agencies usually took most of their hard earned money saying that they have to pay for so called loans (plane ticket, passport, transportation fees etc etc.) Even if these poor girls wants to go back to their countries (most of them wanted to go home), the employment agencies asked them to pay them the money they have spent on them (plane tickets etc) as well as the amount they would've made if they worked for 2 years. These girls are from poor households so of course they couldn't afford. They are stuck in this hell for years with no way out. The most heartbreaking part is that they went to this dazzling city Dubai, the land of luxury and skyscrapers in search for a better life and to provide for their families back home only to find out that it is hell on earth.

I was there many years ago on a business trip. I was in awe of the wonderful architecture, still in progress.

I would have been horrified that they had forced labor, slave labor creating all of the glitter and soaring structures. Back then, it all looked glorious to me. But I would have felt differently had I known then what I have learned since.
It's pure, unbridled capitalism.
The government and even the locals financing these projects don't have a direct say in the conditions of workers.

I lived near Dubai for six months and had the opportunity to visit it several times and can confirm with everything said in this video. I was able to see the faces of Dubai the lavish and the slave trade there. Great video!
Been there, seen all of it, its a modern day slavery, you have 10-15% of locals and majority of people are Indians and Pakistanians, honestly it was heart breaking hearing their stories. Even though emiratis help all people around the world, these things were major problem. Islam doesnt approve of treating people like that, and noone really has any guts to speak out or do anything about it in UAE.
Muslim Arabs treating their fellow Muslims like something they stepped in off the streets
I think it does approve to non muslims
@@gracemoses3062 It doesn't. And Pakistanis and Indians working in UAE are muslims.
Exactly. In Dubai, most Emiratis view slavery as acceptable. But in the USA, many blacks convert to Islam to seek freedom after their ancestors had been slaves under Christian masters. Example: Muhammed Ali and Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
@@carlosorellana7685 there is no slavery in Dubai. People with limited knowledge post anything they wish just to try and show that they know something about Dubai, when in fact they know nothing.
I studied in Taiwan and I had so many Indian colleagues who had the same scholarship I had, I used to live in a one room apartment that costed me 30% of the income while my Indian colleagues used to share it 8 students a room. They saved a lot of money and wired it to their families back in India.
I assumed they are not getting any income from the standard of living they had so I was shocked to know that they do get the same scholarship! And I later witnessed that when they get better scholarships, they still share room 8 students a room and they used keep asking how could live alone?! they thought its too lonely and they used to invite me to their amazing food whenever we met at the lobby.
I dont mean any offense, these were nice people, and I have always admired their maturity and ability to save for their bad days, thats something an Arab like myself cannot do. The point I am trying to make is that its hard to judge their employer from their living standards, you'd be shocked when you meet people with terrible living standard while having more money than you do. I had literally zero savings and I spent every dime I made, while they went back to India with lots of savings already.
Truth is coming... Thanks for this channel who cannot raise voice themselves 💗
Just came back from 7 days tour with my mom, I saw most of the tourists area and happy that we came for a tour but that's all about it. We felt uncomfortable to make mistakes because of the justice system we are hearing. Actually my cousin experienced this cruelty when she work there, the salary and work is not congruent to what she was promised, so she beg to go back in our country. She was put to jail and she was banned to go back even for a tour. My cousin is an educated person and now living in Florida USA as immigrant. Thanks God she survived, but she still having PTSD on that country, specially when she learned we are going there for a visit.

Absolutely true! I was in Dubai for 4years in Fly Emirates Catering company. A rich big company. 90percent of the workers are immigrants from different parts of the country. And Im one of those workers. They treat you as slaves working 12hours a day with 1 day off in a week. No sick days allowed, overtimed work is forced. Accomadation is provided but 6 people on bank beds in one room sharing one washroom and a kitchen. Its a slavery job i would say, no protection from laborers. If u complain no one ever listen to you. Lavish country but full of slavery and greed and racist. Not safe especially for foreign women. They dont treat you as equal. Based on my 4 years experience , I like the place but the people is a Big No! Scary and not a safe place to live!

After having a first hand experiencing your still saying you like the place even though it was created and still being supported on the back, sweat and tears of slave labor? Sounds like if you was part of the wealthy class you would have no problems living the glamour life in Dubai with the occasion " its sad and i hope it changes".

I've been to dubai to dubai many times ( I live close by) and since I'm a Pakistani I hear and understand the shit the poor people are going through, I hate that place.. I can confirm that there's ALOT of racism going on there by arabi people, even though its a major sin in Islam.. Unfortunately not just dubai, it's the whole of UAE, dubai is just 100 times worse, most people fail to see that the money they're spending is going to rich people who used the poor in a bad way.. I swear the rich people of UAE are going against Islam and the rights it gives to poor people, eventually this will come to bite them in the ass real hard
They they shouldn’t come to UAE and stay at their home land , stop making up stories people
@@basemalshomali1462 Piss off, the devil especially tempts people when they’re weak & vulnerable - not when they’re stable. Attracting poor people to work in Dubai is like dangling a carrot in front of a rabbit.

WHOA! everything you said are TRUE... i was once a migrant worker in Dubai working for Al Habtoor Group... i was one of the lucky one's who stayed in a condo near the Emirates Tower at Shiekh Zayed Road... but within our company, there are plenty of stories way-way far beyond the things you've discussed in your video... (far more worse!)
Do tell...
How worse?😥
Wow were same company friend.
Please, i live in south eastern europe and minimum salary is 657 USD. This is also modern slavery. All IT corporations are here and they all pay the same, at the country level. Someone who goes to another country to work for a better salary is a grown up which decides for himself. No one is forcing the indians to go to Dubai. They go because what they earn there feeds a family of 6 at home..I find Dubai amazing and it‘s the best place i have ever been in. It‘s clean, very safe and very modern. Bravoo to the sheik !!!
Anytime you see mass wealth like that, it's safe to assume that poor people were taken advantage of.
I've always wanted to vacate in Dubai,but after hearing all this,I've changed my mind.
Same here!!🙂
you took the best decision of your life
Tourists get treated quite well here. It's not like they'd conscript you to work on constructions lol
@@RexGalilae YES that´s because you are probably a Brit, American or European, go in Dubai to work with an Indian or Philipino passport, and then you will see...
@@RexGalilae would tourists go visit hitlers nazi Germany when he was gassing Jews ?
I only stay in Dubai for 3 days as tourist. As tourist it was nice place to visit, expensive compares to a lot of European cities I visited, but still cool place to visit. But workers I spoke I can feel they have a lot stress on their shoulder. 12-14 hours working days are pretty common for quite little money. I spent 30 dollars for a burger and Pepsi in Dubai mall which will be enough for someone week of living. That is a bit sad.
It's more than sad ,it's inhumane horror and hell
Thank you for this video. I subscribed and can't wait to see more informative content.
Beem to dubai 2 years ago. Its definitely in a league of its own.
Didnt see any outright instances of modern day slavery. However being from kerala,india ive heard of the horror stories of our people who have moved there for a better quality of life.
Safe to say,i didnt particularly feel at home while vacationing there. The luxury and glamour felt a bit suffocating tbh.
Hope the sense of humanity prevails and these workers are given the treatment they deserve.
One thing is there Kerala people are sustaining here especially Muslims sorry to say hun Kerala muslims are same like this Arabs here fanatic ,and uncivilised non muslim Keralalites are fine and friendly progressive also
You probably wouldn’t see them from the air conditioned areas..
I remember stopping there on my first deployment back in '06. There were "black listed" areas that the ironically enough, pretty much everyone went directly towards and in one clothing store, I took a wrong door that appeared to be well hidden. When I went up the stairs, the entire upper area was a sweat shop. It was hot as hell up there and yes, the people looked very uncomfortable. That place was built on pain and suffering.
Worked with Halliburton. We processed for Iraq in dubai.
That is why rasullullah saw has reminded 14 thousand yrs ago that I worry most about my people are three things. First the worldliness is so abundant that human beings envy each other….. 😭😭😭 alhamdulliah for what Allah swt has given to me.
Ja sam bio kao turista u Dubaiju . To je moj prvi i poslednji put . Pored svog tog raskosa posmatrao sam te mucene radnike ... grad bez duse i bez vazduha ...
Same situation for migrant workers in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar, modern day slave labour.

The desert, shopping and sky scrapers but after what i hear from this video, i think these labourers should not go to Dubai looking for odd jobs. Stay in your country and work hard. There are many people came up through hardship in india
This video is based off information relating to earlier days in Dubai. Things have become far better for migrant workers now.

Sadly Dubai isn't the only place this happens. Pretty much any rich, tourist attraction based city/ state/ country is probably built on the backs of local slave labor
This is just disgusting how they treat the innocent people whom they hire to bring to their country to help build their city.. horrifficly disgusting!!!🤬
i been to Dubai last year, after watching this my amazement of the beauty of it turned to sadness for those workers not treated fairly. May things be changed.
Never will be, You'll feel the same way of Japan as well. It's slavery is high and suicide rate is rapidly high, you'll feel amazing at first with its glorious culture and anime, but you'll feel sad knowing the truth of everything. Same goes to dubai, it looks futuristic and nice, but with the workers and slaves it isn't..
- I'm still in dubai, but my parents are working hard and i'm not rich or poor, but we know how to manage things well in gods help.. 😌
- but take note that it is not dubai who does this but also loads of countries as well..
- Singapore and Japan as a good example of it..
I used to go to Dubai every month to renew my visa to work in Saudi Arabia. I went to a bar for a cold beer and a tiny little Philippina about 4'8" came up to me and wouldn't leave. Then she started telling me she just got there that day. She was promised a good job as a maid and they took her passport when she landed. She looked terrified. She told me she had to do sex for money or she'd never be able to leave the country. I took her back to my hotel and told her to call whoever she needed to and tell them she was staying the night and I would pay for the whole night. I didn't want or try to have sex with her but I did pay her so she wouldn't get into trouble. She told me how horrible her treatment was when she handed them her passport. She went with me the next day to the airport and she was crying as I left her at the security checkpoint. I've always hoped she was able to escape. I would have flown her out myself if I could have. It was a horrible thing to witness and it's actually made me lose sleep.
BS
@@fancisbarboza3911 You have a Bowel Syndrome? You should see a doctor.
Dubai is like most modern large metropolis, there are thousands of slave and low wage workers which make the city run.
I was in Dubai in 2017 as a tourist. There was something missing, everything were artificial.
i agree with you.
It's like a plastic city
Very accurate video, I lived in Qatar and Abu Dhabi and seen how these workers were squeezed into buses everyday working from the crack of dawn until sunset and they looked so tired their heads against the windows of the buses sleeping I heard they were earring $300 a month working 6 days a week in crazy heat and desperate shared living conditions. Its so wrong. I couldn't live in a country long term that is treating their workers like that. The world is too greedy and especially in Dubai.
I thought that this type of treatment was not allowed in Islam!
I’m a resident here since 2020 and there’s no darkside here it’s way more safe here no shooting, no thieves, no drugs , no zombie drugs , no murders we don’t know that
Everything mentioned in this video is absolutely true. They must change the labor practices in Dubai and stop exploring workers from poor countries with promises of nice life and high salaries which don't exist.

I kept asking myself from when Dubai was just desert... to now (on how glamorous they made it out to be). How did they get it done so fast? Sad, cause in the back of my head I already knew the answer. I thought so.
This is very true , bcoz I experience staying in Dubai , but I understand what is all behind the corner , and I am glad not in Dubai anymore .
Glad to hear you are out of this. Where are you living now ?
lol
How long did you live and work in Dubai, Mara?
We lived in Doha the poor workers who built one of the malls were not allowed in on their day off.
"Scrub the sheen off the glass in this concrete jungle, and the truth will melt in your hands ". Classic!
This is very true because I have worked in Dubai 2005 -2012 when all of this high rising buildings are still under construction.
It's a mess over there especially being African. I was in Sharjah and within 8months I changed jobs twice cos I couldn't cope with the hours,living condition and pay. Last place I worked I had to pay to get my passport back before I could leave the job and the country. Back home now trying to figure it out all again.wssted time amd money on empty promises and lies on the job contracts.
I have been there in dubai, its not just 5 people in one room but its like 8 some cases 12 or 16 people in one room
Also they show all the luxury and kindness to out side world but in dark side of dubai like you said sonapur and jabal ali like places you can see hell. I have been in an accomedation where there is no canteen, no saloon, no other basic infrastructure facilities,
Passports are ceased by the company so you can't raise your voice, if u raise your voice it will affect immediate termination or they will put you in some job location that is like hell its not just a company doing this most of the contracting company they recruit staffs from south asia and deploy in various companies in uae
I recently visited Dubai in January and most of February. Stayed in a boys hostel in an older neighborhood, in Bur Dubai, full of coughing guests, but luckily didn't get sick since I was smart enough to keep my mask on throughout the entire stay. It also had a foul odor,, the whole time. Stayed for 17 nights.
Only complaint was that it smelled foul every time I entered the building, but keeping my face mask on really helped. There were also constant gnats/fruit flies in the bathroom, but got used to it. There were no washer, only dryer, so i had to go to the laundromat nearby whenever I needed, which also led me to showering less often than usual. I'm the kind of person who usually have a scratchy scalp when i shower because of the colder weather, but thankfully for the constant humidity, it was non-existent.
I was in Dubai in October 2018. First to put me off was the heat. Then I saw migrant workers in a bus that was out of place on the city's roads. Lastly, as I was doing late afternoon and early morning walks, I saw migrant worker shacks at the back of construction sites. I agree with this video. However, this situation is common in most major cities and countries in the world. Foreigners are exploited by wealthy host countries. Slavery in the US and European nations need no elaboration. As we point out the evil in Dubai, let us not do so without acknowledging similar ills elsewhere.
In USA or Europe there are some standards to be followed by any workers..
So don't compare Dubai or gulf countries with western world
@@thiswasme5452 There are also standards in Gulf states, and pretty much everywhere. Tell us which country does not have standards. You missed the point. Wealthy nations ignore ethical practice and deliberately exploit migrant workers mostly from poor countries. In the US and Europe that you mention, there is a modern form of institutional injustice against migrant workers where, despite one having legitimate work permit, and regardless of competence level, there are no equal employment opportunities, rising up the
corporate ladder is hard, and salary levels are not equitable.
@@bidohalcyon2715
Not hard compared to Gulf countries
@@thiswasme5452 How do you measure and distinguish "hard" between the so-called West and the Gulf states? Why have institutional glass ceilings for migrant workers in the first place? Any attempt to compare or distinguish between the levels of that discrimination and exploitation between the two regions is inconsequential.
At least in Canada, Construction and Farm workers which they see as a low rank job are treated better than any other racist Arab countries.
This video is honest. The truth about Dubai and similar countries that exploit labor is undeniable. I was considering applying for a residence permit in Dubai through their investment program, but I think I'll look elsewhere.

@@greenleaf8226 What is your point? That labor exploitation does not happen in Dubai? Or it does? If it does, then this video is honest. Other things that also might happen in Dubai are not the subject of this video and were left out. Simple logic seems to escape you. I know many people who work or have worked in Dubai and in nearby UAE countries. There is no "exaggeration" in saying that a lot of murky stuff goes on there.
@@budsurtees4224 yes alot of "murky stuff" as you put it does go on in the gulf countries...but...also alot of decent, clean, successful stuff goes on with employees and labour...its not all bad.Also Dubai is not a land full of rich people, there is a very small percentage of the population that are rich, nor does Dubai have lots of oil...so this video is somewhat correct but not completely...the picture being portrayed is an exggeration... if we want to talk cheap labour, bad living conditions, illegal employer behaviour etc..etc...etc... then many countries worldwide excercise such ugliness from the US to certain European countries to far East Asia to the sub continent...its a sadly common practice everywhere
