i'm from Germany and worked two times in construction in Dubai. we had an exclusive contract with a big German fashion brand and had to build their flagship store in the Dubai mall...once you arrived you could feel something is wrong. the workers were happy to work with us because we were from Germany, but you could tell they had fear. their supervisor was acting like the biggest, disrespectful asshole towards them...he had big saber knife on his belt to intimidate those poor men. he was screaming at them all the time. one thing I vividly remember was "one mistake...one finger" while he was taking his knife out of the holster. in the ceiling were bottles full of piss because the workers didn't want to go to the toilet or maybe were not allowed to go (idk)...tourists don't see those things and have no idea under what conditions those fancy, shiny shops, hotels and malls were build. i haven't been, but you can only imagine how bad their staff housing must be. it's modern slavery! that experice changed my view on those Arab countries completely!

A grown man almost driven to tears trying desperately to get a stranger to help him. I was gutted, and took his details and email address.

Hi.. I am Indian living in Italy. I heard your experience in Dubai and I am shocked. Thank you for sharing and I wish you good luck with your future endeavours.

You don’t have to wear chains to be treated like a slave. Brave video. Thank you.

Thank you for this video. My story goes thus - I am not a worker but the wife of a CEO of a Company in Dubai. So we moved to Dubai in 2021from the UK due to my husband's business. Prior to the move, I had gone to Dubai with my husband on holiday three times. I am very sensitive to people's emotions or lack of it and so, behind the "good afternoon ma'am, how may I help you ma'am" etc, there was always an uncomfortable, uneasy feeling I could not shake off about Dubai. I quickly realized that a lot of the staff were often overworked and treated rather badly. So I began to do my research to see where the white vans and buses always took the workers after work and it was disappointing to see how the OTHER HALF live in Dubai! So fast forward to 2021 when we finally moved to Dubai. We stayed the first three months at the Westin Mina Sayayi Beach Hotel and most of the staff were amazing! However, it was clear that some of them did not like the fact that I am a black woman who they had to answer to. I was always very deliberately polite and pleasant but that did not stop some people in Dubai from being rude to me instinctively. The same goes for a lot of the men (whites, Indians Emiratees) who often jump to the wrong conclusion that I am a prostitute and would show and treat me with disrespect, contempt (they still do) whilst trying to petition me for sex. Ironically, as a committed Christian woman, I always dress modestly. Then we moved to a gated community where again as a minority black woman, I am sometimes treated with suspicions and rudeness, the latest incidence happened four days ago. The man was caught on camera in the gated community treating me badly and he is now answering for his rudeness! He was rude to me because he thought for me to be in a gated community, I must be a nanny or a maid so he treated me badly. What I find most disappointing is that often when these people realized I am not employed as a nanny or a maid and that they are in trouble for their rudeness, they would immediately apologise saying "Sorry ma'am I did not know who you were". I find this upsetting because it should not matter whether or not I am a maid, a nanny or a menial worker. As a human being, I should be treated with respect period! Earning respect should not be subject to what you think my material status in life is! So, behind the tall buildings and the biggest mall, gated golf communities etc, I find Dubai to be full of all the vices often associated with a pretentious society.

Oh, I thought I was the one with an issue with how people treat others in Dubai. I was there with my husband in 2019, celebrating our honeymoon when he told me to go and see the "singing fountain" We were all lovey dovey, sharing ice cream, taking pics, the things a couple in love will do. So when it was time for the fountain show, we move closer to have a good look and some man comes up close behind us and begins caressing my behind, and I was so shook 😳 I held tight to my hubby, shaking my head, looking so scared. I told him this guy behind us is trying to be sneaky and when my hubby turned to confront him, he moved away so fast. He was white skinned(don't know these ethnicities coz am black African and haven't had enough ecposure to know much difference) and I didn't do anything that would make him treat me like less than human, I was even dressed in a long dress despite there being many half dressed ladies that were looking single and available Ps. My husband is black African too

I received this story from a maid who worked in Saudi Arabia for an Arab family. She shared that she was trapped by an agent and subjected to abuse and rape on a weekly basis. Her passport was taken away, and she was not provided with proper food or means of communication. Despite her numerous complaints, no action was taken to address her situation. When she became pregnant, she was abandoned on the streets until someone came to her aid and helped her return to India. This story highlights the unfortunate reality faced by many individuals who are economically disadvantaged.

Hi Gabi I grew up in the Emirates between 1991 and 2001. Matter of fact in Abu Dhabi and we frequently travelled drove to Dubai on weekends. We were a Swiss family expats and my father was working for the army. We had a good life there and everything was paid for, even my education. As time went on, we started to see behind the facade. We got to know a lot of unfortunate people from India, Pakistanis, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Philippines. People who actually built this country with blood and sweat. Many never got the chance to go back home and many died on sone construction site. Also their crazy policies was for us very confusing and intimidating. For me and my dad, it was just modern day sklavery. I am now 39, and never have I considered to coming back to the UAE. My wife knows why, but I have work colleages who dream of going to Dubai for vacation. I told them my experiences and the experienced of people we know, but they don't seem to care. I often hear: " why should I care, I'm only there for holidays" What they don't know, is that they are actually supporting such regimes and terrible working conditions of the majority. Cheers and keep up your good spirits

A lot of the people/workers you talk will mention that Dubai has offered much better living conditions than they would be back home. You dont even know their life back in their home country- its bad. Dubai has offered opportunities for these people. Could they be treated better? Of course, but it doesnt discount the fact that these jobs are considered as opportunities to the eyes of many

The recruiter was also indian.she was asking to submit passport so I got afraid that she may capture my passport and in future if I want to quit I will not be able to do so I did not join the company and came back to India.

Hi Gabi, it's like hearing my own story... I worked for the landmark hotel in Dubai 20 years ago... And it's sad hearing that nothing has changed!

I’m an American and the way those in power all over the world exploit people who are just as valuable and most times (even more valuable) then those in high places enrages me! We are many, legions upon legions of normal decent people subject to very few. When we stop listening to liars who stir up dissension among us and we come together WE have the power to change the world. I realize in America we have it better in some ways and in some ways we don’t but make no mistake that we are indentured servants to the banks, government and those that control our government via corporations. When will we come together regardless of religion, culture and skin tone and realize we are all decent people who want to raise our families and enjoy the fruits of our labor. There’s absolutely no reason why every person on this physical plane can’t have their basic needs met and far more. At least our time here is limited, I couldn’t imagine living forever in this hell

Same thing happened to me. There is a very dark side of Dubai that only people who really experienced it, know what it is. I was working as a waiter at ROTANA HOTEL, when things turned ugly, got fired for no reason, my passport was confiscated, not allowed to use the dormitory anymore, I was thrown away in the street. Life goes on, I'm in a much better situation now, and it's definitely true that what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

I can relate to this video. I'm a Filipina and have lived and worked in Dubai for more than two years. It was a very challenging work environment, so like you, I did not finish my contract and end up going home. Good thing my company don't keep passports, unlike yours. Now, I'm also a digital nomad working remotely, but I still visit Dubai from time to time since I have family there. For me, Dubai is a wonderful place if you're a visitor but forget about working there, unless it's really necessary. I know a lot of people who are working there are struggling just coz they don't have any choice. They have a family to feed back home. But if you have a choice, you better look for a job somewhere else.

I'm shocked that a multinational corporation as respected as Hilton would withhold passports. Usually this is done with workers who arrive owing a debt to be worked off, like if the company paid for their airfare & housing. It's still a violation of basic human rights, but Gabi was hired as supervisor.

Great video! So happy this is out here. Even if only one person sees this and chooses not to travel there to work it was worthwhile.

@@ramys.4313No, dear, he doesn’t. That’s how things are in the Arab world. I have worked in Damascus, Syria years ago. They took my Bulgarian passport. I played music there in one of the biggest and fanciest hotels. My status was such that I was treated well, but had a lot of control on my private life - was I seeing men, was I talking to them. Crazy but true!

I was a professor in the UAE in the early 1990s, and this was somewhat true in my case. Both my parents became ill while I was there. I tried to tell my supervisor that I was the only child of my parents, and both were ill and needed my to come back temporarily. (I didn’t think this should have been a big thing--after all, in Arab cultures, children also have a HUGE responsibility to take care of elderly parents (it is in the Koran, like it is in the Bible). Well, they hemmed and hawed for about 10 days, and while I had my passport in my possession, there were subtitle threats being made by colleagues that I better not leave, or else (I couldn’t figure out or else “what”?). So, I quietly sold all my possessions, and I bought a one way ticket and left. No goodbyes to anyone, no formal leave, nothing. I really had no choice. My parents’ doctor was calling me (from the US to the Middle East--that was serious) and I needed to come back home ASAP. Well, I am very glad that I did. As soon as I got back, my Mom (who had developed Alzheimer’s since I had left) fell into a diabetic coma for a while, and my Dad (who had suffered a stroke while I was gone) had become legally blind. Their caregiver (whom I had hired) was herself ill, and unable to really take care of herself, much less anyone else. It was a mess-it was around Christmastime, and BOTH parents were admitted into the hospital and spent Christmas and New Year’s there. I am so glad that I returned home. However, things at the University were a mess, from what I gathered. While I tried to call friends, they really wouldn’t talk to me. They were afraid that their jobs would be threatened, and they told me that there were “repercussions” on them because I left. I explained that my family was ill, and moreover, I tried desperately to take a leave of absence like a normal person would, but was repeatedly denied (by a White Canadian Dean no less-not someone who wasn’t from my own North American culture). However, my friends were scared and asked me not to call again, which I didn’t. I find that there is a bifurcated system in the UAE. Yes, as a professor, I had a much better salary and more freedom, as I keep my own passport. But the fact that my colleagues felt any repercussions for my leaving tells you that you are considered a slave, and you have no “rights” to move freely as you wish. My friends tell me that I “absconded”, but with what? I sold furniture that I, myself bought with my wages. I left a car, I left a home, I left a lot more than I could take had I had the time to pack and ship my household. Only slaves “abscond”; workers have the freedom to quit a job if they so choose. This tells you that there is no real freedom in the UAE for foreign workers. I am very surprised that the guy in the video has returned, because I would be afraid to return there for fear of being jailed. Again, their laws are not like the ones in the west. As a postscript, about a year after I returned I received a call from a law colleague who had studied in the US and was visiting my city. He asked me to dinner, and because we had been friends when we were there, I accepted. When he told me that he had missed our lunches while I had been gone, I explained to him that I had tried my best to get my Dean to allow me a leave of absence due to my parents health, but that he had refused. This colleague was an Emirati, but was very westernized (having studied at Harvard and Oxford). I explained to him that is was morally disingenuous that Arabs continually preached about the decadence of people in the west, yet when a western professor wanted to do something that is actually mandated by the Koran as well as the Bible, I was being prevented. I should have been shown compassion for trying to be a good daughter, but instead no consideration was given for MY parents’ lives. When I explained to him that they were immediately hospitalized upon my arrival, he was shocked. They were hospitalized even when I had dinner with him. While he was in town, we had dinner twice, and while it was good to see him, I believe that he was sent there to ascertain if I had left for good reason (as I think of it in hindsight). After these two dinners, I never saw nor heard from this man again. I believe sincerely that the UAE Embassy sent him to feel out if I had been telling them the truth, and whether they were going to pursue me or not. But that is my warning to anyone wanting to take a job in any country in the Middle East. Slavery still exists, and this who passport thing IS REAL. If your job is professional, you may be allowed to keep your passport, but you cannot roam as freely as you might in the US, Canada or Europe. If you are a worker, as this man was, your passport will be confiscated and they use coercion to get you to stay. Your contract is more like indentured servitude than an employment contract here in the West, and this is a fact that you need to know. Be forewarned. While this happened 30 years ago, I don’t believe that the cultural attitudes have changed too much toward this. While I love Arab culture, the sheer duplicity and lies between what they claim that their faith says and does and the REALITY of what they say and do is really stark. Don’t be naive and gullible. You have NO RIGHTS in these countries-remember that when you sign contracts.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

I lived there in the 90s and what you say is accurate. The construction industry would force workers to labour out in +40 degree Celsius heat. The level of abuse and cruelty is similar to the days of Deep South slavery. Also, small Indian boys taken from their homes used as camel racing jockeys with no protection from sexual predators. The list goes on and on. If we really care about our fellow human beings and not just having a good time in the sun and sea, we must look beyond the façade. It’s devastating to me that human trafficking and slavery is global now, and not even hiding in plain sight. They don’t need to - the privileged wear blinkers. Thank you for your post. I appreciate you.

Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future

Although I worked with Qatar Airways as a cabin crew, I still felt like entering a jail once we land in Qatar as we need exit permit each time to leave Doha to go home to visit families. They will not approve the exit permit applied if they felt you do not have enough off days etc. Glad that part of my life was done and dusted long time ago! You start appreciating little things in life after you working in a place like this! Horrible people with horrible attitude! No compassion, empathy whatsoever! I felt the same way about the labourers/construction workers. Every Kathmandu flight I do, we will always carry coffin/s with us to bring back bodies of young Nepali construction workers! I usually quietly say my prayers for them knowing that poor safety in Doha took their lives but it means nothing for Doha authorities 😢 It is modern day slaveries and heartbreaking 🙏🏽 All the best Gabi. You do good and good things will come back to you.
