Live here for 10 years, and yes - it does get hot, but at least the AC systems can keep the temperature. Lived in California for almost 10 years, and the back of Silicon Valley got as hot as Dubai or more, but the AC systems could not hold the temp under 90F...

    When i went to dubai in 2012 for visit burj khalifa top observatory was done in 1 day, this guy is to busy he didnt even go there in 20 years, or does not want to go. One of my old work mate working in Dubai told me as a tourist the bling bling looks good, however when you live here you start to see the that its all fake. To even survive socially you have to have the best, so you have to work extra hard, ending up with no work life balance. I guess the people having the best life is locals, ofcourse if you are a princess then its a total other story.

    Dubai is not an easy place to live if you are an expat. Rents are very high, the whole standard of living is high and if you are not paid as a CEO or engineer/doctor there should be compromises. From a tourist point of view Dubai is great, for permanent living not so much.

    At time 33:00 you were discussing taxes and before Citizenship related. UAE charging relatively low but other hand in Russia, EU etc. One can get Citizenship and it means to get Free Education and Health Facilities whereas in UAE a person has to pay for Education and Health all the time for his self and his kids. Or there are Schemes that cover Health and Education expenses of Expatriates and their kids? Considering this scenario how you interpret final note. Speak please. Thank you Slava and Wrapped.Interior Guy. Nice content.
