These are Dubai newbies :) I lived there WAY too long and have seen many seasonal influencers come and go, so by no means I am taking any of their sides BUT the fact is, there is very little negetive to say about Dubai.

He can not talk about it at all tho, but all he says is true i came to Dubai from Germany as tourist and i ended up living here, its cool that you dont like it because the country is saturated, you will only make the rent higher to us

I lived in Dubai for 5 years due to an internship, and I worked there for 4 years afterward. I would like to share my opinion about Dubai, but if it differs from your experience, that's perfectly fine. This is just how I felt. * Lightness of life: In Europe, I loved going out after work and enjoying the simplicity of stress-free concerts or grabbing a beer with a friend. I missed that a lot in Dubai. Nothing felt easy; everything always seemed like a business or an event, and there was an expectation attached to it. * It sometimes feels like Disneyland; everything is artificial. There is no stone left unturned just for the sake of being there; everything is meticulously staged. It lacks authenticity. * The weather is horrible; the unbearable heat in the summer makes it impossible to go outside. Imagine spending 4 to 5 straight months indoors. I have lived in Miami and the south of Spain, but Dubai's weather is the worst. * Traffic! No words are needed to describe it. Those were the negative aspects, but I have to admit that my overall experience was not that great. The restaurants are nice, the people are friendly, and there are plenty of opportunities, but for me, it wasn't worth it. I now live in the south of France, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. But again, this is just my opinion. :) You should do what makes you happy!

Also, "bad mouthing" the UAE (or even suggesting the weather isn't nice and scaring away tourists) can get you jailed.

The main thing that bothered me as a woman who visited Dubai, is that even though it’s advertised as one of the safest places in the world…. The constant staring from men, especially when driving is pretty overwhelming and can make women feel unsafe.

19:05 this reminds me of college. I personally loved it just because whenever you're ready to have fun/ have free time, you'll find someone else that is as well. Discipline is always required but it's nice to have people to share your free time with

these vlogs are motivating for individuals who are thinking of relocating, a lot of my family and friends have moved to Canada by marriage or to better themselves, and their lives and their kids have a better standard of living there, the one thing i hate in the uk is the negativity if some one is doing well financially

Als Arab I can say in terms of making good money, Dubai is the right place, but at the same time it is too flashy for me. And that is why I prefer life in Germany in spite of high taxes and cold people, e.g. in terms of privacy, going in the nature and the weather. I was in Dubai 3 years ago, and I could not be outside more than one hour due of the heat, so the only thing I can do to change my mood is just go spending money.

What a great video. So useful. I am planning on moving to Dubai and all your thoughts are just so helpful

It's fascinating seeing the high-end side of Dubai from your experience. Mine is somewhat different - I'm in Dubai for two years to save enough money for a deposit on a house in the UK. I'm disabled and cannot work, wife to a teacher, so we're here on one okay salary. We don't eat out, we don't shop, I spend most of my time in the gym that thankfully comes with our accom. We saved our asses off to be able to see some other countries while we're here and that's our main pleasure while we're here. I'd love to own a Chanel handbag, but life hasn't worked out that way for me - we can't have it all. I do wish people understood that not everyone lives like an influencer here - outside of Marina, there are people struggling to live here. It's not all parties and champagne for a huge number of the population. I do think Brits have this sense of entitlement to live like influencers when they come here. It's sadly not a reality for a lot of people.

I was going to make a post similar to this, but you pretty well covered it, so no need for me to. The only thing I would add is Las Vegas' weather is unbearable in the Summer (although not as bad as Dubai), AND in the Winter (which is great in Dubai). Both are artificial party towns to the uber-wealthy. In fact, Saudi's used to go to Las Vegas for fun until Dubai became the spectacle it is now, and because of the USA's much more liberal laws, some Saudi uber-rich still prefer Las Vegas.

I lived in Dubai 20 years ago. It was much more hedonistic and relaxed than it is today! I was part of the "Dubai Boom Set," and witnessed many "FIRSTs" that happened in the city. I visited the site of the first ever Palm Island, was involved in the opening of the exclusive Arabian Court at the Royal Mirage, the first ever Givenchy Spa in the Middle East, the first ever international monetary fund meetings, and the first ever tour of the Burj Al Arab for visitors that were NOT its guests. And of course the first ever Dubai fashion week and the launch of MAC make up at a lavish event in the desert. Everything moved very fast in Dubai back then. Prostitution was common and there were women, men, transgenders etc. Lots of gay men from countries where homosexuality was criminalised , descended upon Dubai. Nobody batted an eyelid. The local emiratis were extremely friendly. Lots of events, shows and parties. Although it was against the law to drink or eat in public during Ramadan, the authorities turned a blind eye! The point was to make sure everyone , mainly tourists and businesses, and mainly wealthy people should come to Dubai. Everything changed after their economic collapse. There's a complicated background behind this. You should all read up on it. I did enjoy my time in Dubai and can't wait to go back !

Even though I'm not that into fitness and getting jacked, I absolutely love watching Mike's vids because he comes across as a very genuine down to earth dude, a fellow hustler out to reach his dreams and goals! Cheers!

Agreed. I think Dubai is great and extremely safe. In 1972 I was a 6 years old boy living in ِAbu Dhabi with my parents. At that time Dubai was already ahead experimenting with new things. I returned to Dubai many years back and I feel that Sheikh Zayed’s long term vision is being realised as he wanted people of all over the world to live peacefully in the UAE.

Excellent overview of the good side of Dubai and one or two of the challenges.

Well-presented overview and good that you note that for the person on an average budget life would look very different.

Well said Mike a really interesting honest review 👍

Amazing Video, seen something great in a long time, people should learn how to explain your experience in this way, Amazing Brother,

Very fair and balanced review …. Well done .

Very fair summary 👏🏽 UAE is consistently heading in the right direction.

Lived in Dubai for the first 19 years of my life and this video is pretty much spot on. While there's a slightly wealthier angle to Mike's perspective than mine, I can certainly say that it's a lovely place to grow up. You won't get the life experience and toughness you might cultivate in places that are less safe or bubbled, but it's just a lovely and safe place to be.

I don't blame you for leaving London. I grew up there and it wasn't so bad 10+ years ago. Although crime still happened back then and I heard of attacks/robberies in my area, I lived in London for 19 years and was never attacked or robbed personally. But since 2020 I had my phone snatched out of my hand and my wallet stolen on 2 different occasions.. So recently it's got so much worse. I will be leaving myself.

The climate, multi cultural city, beaches and sports are a bonus. I can't wait for my adventure to begin. Wishing you the best on yours too.

The problem is that simply leaving London won’t help London in the long run. It’s a change in policy that needs to take place to make London safer for the future

Great video! Well done!

I was raised in Dubai and lived there for 18 years , I spent my formative years there , my schooling and I lived in the same neighborhood in Al Karama. I can guarantee that there is a lot to explore and a lot you can do , the safety of the place is unbeatable and its truly refreshing to see so many people from all over the world living in Dubai. I grew up so I have always been accustomed to extremely humid temperatures , so I guess I'm used to the heat

That's a perfect wrap up, being an Expat myself living in a similar but slightly more chaotic country, these rules you described are pretty much common sense. However I've seen a few dudes (and girls too) being unable to deal or cope, returning home in frustration, mainly due to their own cemented expectations and / or attitude + their inability to change or grow.

I really like Dubai and have spent a lot of time there. People say it’s soulless but everything works there, there’s no crime, you can get anything you want and just be happy. Meanwhile in London, three people got stabbed at 10am in the City the other day right outside my office. There’s really not much reason to be in England anymore.

Not at all. You guys have a really warped view (which I don't blame you for because most of the Rupert Murdoch owned western media always creates fearmongering about the region and its people).

I went to dubai on vacation last year, best time of my life, going again this year. Yacht party cost 80$ for the night. My hotel cost 30$ a night. So much stuff to go see. SO many beautiful women everywhere. The hotel pool, the yacht, the bars. And bars are 24/7. I was drunk the entire 4 days.

This is actually a very strong conclusion. My parents live in Dubai and I go out quite a bit and everything said was spot on. Nice one Mike.

negatives the internet providers (whatsapp blocked, having to use vpn, etc) the weather (only in summer) lack of nature everything else is positive, Dubai is pretty great overall and has a bright future, everything he says is on point the haters, please visit at least once, see for yourself.
