    I was born, raised, resided in the UAE for whole my life. Being from an origin country that's suffering from a constant war. It frightens me they want to cancel my Visa and throw me to a place I know nothing about in a middle of constant warzone, questioning my upbringing, and my existence, remembering that I used to chant the UAE's national anthem every morning everyday in school. Still being treated like this is pretty horrible and upsetting.

    Finally I hear someone talk about something I strongly feel every day of my life.
    We expatriates basically belong nowhere. And that feeling of not belonging..that feeling of not having anywhere to go, of not being able to call any place "home". Thats the most terrible feeling ever. When you go back to you home country but it looks foreign. When your own relatives feel strangers. And you can't even turn around and come back to where you grew up because there is nothing left there.

      Thank you very much for this, brilliant video.. Its worse than capitalism, its ruthless exploitation. The west has capitalism, but there is a certain degree of regulation that protects rights. I invested a lot of money in Dubai, through an advert in London, where I live. Sounded very respectable, brilliant advertising. Its all gone, no replies to all my requests. The adverts are still there, and people are getting sucked in.

    Fully agree with what Loy has to say, went to Dubai in 1999 with job with Mashreqbank at AED 14,000/- pm, when I left in 2008 my salary was AED 42,000/- pm of course with a different bank (UNB) and 2 promotions. Started as Senior Officer with Mashreqbank left as Vice President ; UNB, I felt most of what Lou says and also what 1 ex American Express Bank boss concluded and told me while driving around Dubai. Since 2008 I am in Canada with a regular permanent job not as high paying as in Dubai however the best part is that my son like me is working as a professional Banker here in Canada

The last job I had I lost it because the boss just didn't like me, so he was just looking for troubles with me to just find a good reason to fire me ..

    I'm local from dubai, what you said is 100% true. But the thing that gets on my nerves is that workers get their passport taken away from them. Sometimes, the work grants them a visit home once every two years. This is modern slavery and i wish they'd make a protest against the government and make dubai ruled by the UK or the US. People are so shitty there tbh.

    "it literally kills you" the hardest and bitterest part is being forced to leave a country where you spent 3, 5, 10 or even 20 years with all you unforgettable memories, friends. just seems like you whole life, then finding yourself in another country completely new to you... i am telling you from personal experience, the thoughts and flashbacks of your time in UAE will haunt you forever,
    10 years is a big part of one's life, and i know for fact tens of thousands of other people from different nationalities are in the same situation just like me, forbidden to go near a place that was once their whole world, with memories in every street, corner ,and every bit of that world has a piece of them...........
    you could do this with an animal, take them from country to country and even them with take a bit to adapt, not with human beings,,, i say this only happens when you give power to the devil.

    I am an indian.I have never been to any other country.but I have my friends and classmates who went to Dubai. They shared their experiences which are similar to what you have said in this video.
    I want to answer few issues raised in the video,
    1. You said Housing rent is expensive almost 60-70% of your earning.
    I believe same is with Delhi and Mumbai.
    2. You said hospitals opt for cesarean section to make money.
    It exists in most metro cities of India also.
    3. You said education is expensive and not recognised in most part of the world. And teachers salaries are less.
    Same here, Ask an engineer here in India.
    But Dubai is safe for women and children especially in late night.
    There will not be any curroption , no demand for bribes.
    That's why my fellow Indians are moving abroad on the pretext of studying master's degree and settling down there.
    Thanks for sharing your nearly 40 years experience and thoughts.

In Pakistan India these type of country's economy depends on that money people sending from outside in India Pakistan Bangladesh government and people promote working outside making money.. I am Pakistani I am happy because my siblings are studying and living very well in Pakistan because of me. But I am sad and hopeless because I am sacrificing myself.. I have no degree just came here as a worker and still working as a low level worker. Dubai other countries built on modern slavery... No doubt not Arab fault at all...still have a lot of things in mind but I can't say I don't know how to start and how to end.. Stay in your own country work hard and make your country great for you and and for your kids and generations...

    If you live your life listening to everybody telling you Why you shouldn’t do certain things then you’ll never get anywhere in life.
    I moved to the UAE very late in life...... (43 years of age) and the reason is exactly what I mentioned above - me listening to what people had to say and not living my Own Life!
    Yes it is expensive, yes the market is not doing that great, but it’s much worse in the country that I come from. Saying that, I lead a Good life in the UAE. I make good money, I travel the world, which I couldn’t do before and most importantly I can Save, which is something I couldn’t do back home.
    So before you allow people to make decisions for you, go out into the world and make things happen!

    The main reason why most of us(human beings) call Dubai a sh*thole place is because we go their without a plan or get their and forget! I'm saying this from experience. 2011-2014 i came from my country and after 2 months got a very good job in a media co. I got all my salary, 2 days off, annual vacations but i enjoyed myself and forgot that all this can end so fast. 2014 i went back home with very little and i was really fuming and complaining all the time but after like 2yrs i was honest with myself and that's when i realized i had messed up!! went back again 2017 and in that period i got a job with similar salary but more working time but the point is i had a plan and sticking to that! 2yrs i have done more than what i did at first so my advice... Don't go to Dubai to get rich, drive expensive cars, bang the baddest girls just have a plan and know how long you need! Dubai is a transit and one should just use the opportunity to build on to something better elsewhere!

  • @beausexon435

    My views as an expat here:
    1) cost going up: rent is coming down but stupid made up charges are increasing. I’ve had 2 parking tickets with no date or location on. Groceries are artificially high in my view. Petrol is cheap but car costs are high.
    2) job security: I’ve noticed that if you’re in the corporate clique (Lebanese, Egyptian, Indian, Pakistan etc) you can be artificially protected even with underperformance when management bring in their “own”. But I’ve also heard of lots of people not being paid. The job market in corporate is not very good at the moment.
    3) agreed that it’s pretty closed off, and there really is not a lot to do here in summer unless you like parties or shopping.
    4) definitely I have experienced corporate racism, both in a corporate office, and also with clients who are middle eastern, but do not like working with certain ethnicities. (I’m British, they don’t like us much).
    5) I’ve still seen some good incomes and I get 200k a year housing and 45k car, these packages still exist in global corporates.
    6) agree, I know many people who have been here for years and have no savings, even in the corporate world.
    7) sudden expense: can be if you dint budget well, I’ve not yet been caught out.
    8) leaving; yes this is a problem especially with bank accounts being frozen, plus any debts.
    9) legal; as above
    10) children: totally agree, some of the children I see and hear around the more affluent areas are horrendous, you could not bring them back to the U.K. and fit them in, they’d be bullied to death for being such spoiled little shits.

    Well... I heard all your 10 points ... You are born n brought up in UAE n enjoyed all comfort while you were in the country...
    Being a resident of Dubai since 1987, I can very proudly say that I love this country simply because I'm very much safe here. Which country is offering safety n security for women n children like UAE? People always think about making money... Then, if you are not n secured, what will you do with the money? I have seen UAE's rapid growth n we Asians made immense contributions more than any other country. When the country is growing, you should accept the reality that the day to day expenses also will be affected. I totally agree that the living expenses are very high but look at the safety/security n free to move 24/7 without fear we, the women n children get here, you will not get anywhere in the world. So, to conclude in one sentence.... I love Dubai n the Rulers of Dubai/UAE because my family's safety/security is my top most priority. Money comes n goes....

The insane amount of foreign workers and all that (most with their passports withheld by the employers or agents). All that tells me something isn't quite right. Now you have solved my puzzle once and for all...thank you! I still enjoy visiting here but I will know why some workers have a saddened expressions on their faces.

The rest of the things are really not covered as you did. Thanks for the detailed information.

    I am from India and I lived UK(The western world) and heard similar cry. Now I live UAE. This level of negative thinking worries me. Asians in general don't want to change their situation in their home country. They are running away from social and economic situations back home. They go abroad and then complain about the countries which give them shelter. I wonder why don't try to make their countries a better place live. No Arab or White is coming to your country for the job. I know when Asian start living abroad they never want keep relation with there home country and people. They start showing off to relatives back home. They spend their earning in buying gold or properties.They don't start businesses because they are afraid to take risk. Zero contribution to economy. Just want to work as labour abroad whole life then shift to benefits. Request new comers to be positive, creative and different approach in life. All the best.
