Glad it was helpful!

Rent prices to me is hard to found out. Where do you found your apartment btw? I know a guy that changed a lot of apts from airbnb because they all was malfunctioning in one or other way, which kinda influenced on his overall impression about Dubai. On the other side - if you rent yearly, you need *a lot* of cash upfront. And there's a decent(close to 100%) chance that you will not live in Dubai full year, because it's just too hot(non-walkable even in September when I visited). So it's not cheaper in the end. Could you also cover topic about where to go for a summer from there? And how to properly do that(e.g. when I return with family, is it hard to find monthly apartment or it would be simpler and more proper to rent yearly despite I wouldn't live there for a full year)

Great video thank you

What do you think about using serviced apartments or aparthotels in Dubai or Sharjah? Especially during the transition period of 3-4 months when you are settling into UAE and finding things out.

Great idea this is basically what I did

How much do I need to move there?

The cheap groceries has to do with just how much fresh water there is in Dubai. It has more fresh water sources than Italy but a little less than Netherlands. Dubai is greener and more agriculturally developed than the media lets on. If one works in tech or finance or has a large enough monetizable audience, Dubai is great for what it offers. Thanks for the video. Unfortunately, as a writer that averages $1700 to $2000 usd a month, this is out of my range, but the prices are fair given the tax savings.

I'm sorry Jim, care to elaborate on the abundancy of fresh water in Dubai? My understanding is that they heavily rely on desalinization plants, do you have any info you can share? I'm very curious.

Transport $637 $147 Entertain $100 $25 Food $1209 $279 Rent $3500 $807 Other $400 $100

@tuomaskiv

Perhaps $4-5k a month (2k a month rent, 1-2k other stuff, 1k savings)

Bro, you earn 100k USD+. How many percentage of the world earns that? When we say expensive, please think outside your narrow-{minded/sized} bracket. I spent almost a decade there, and I can tell you even those with cars, a above average accommodation, and able to eat well but not the best food - all complain that it is ludicrously expensive.

Fair - Always depends on what you compare it to - it's not more expensive than any comparable top tier city

It's not expensive if you compare it to other high COL-cities/countries such as Switzerland, Singapore, Paris, London, NY, LA, etc. The Income to COL-ratio is actually one of the best in the world if you have sought-after skills

This comment just comes off as useless winging. All he did was tell us the amount it costs him for his lifestyle. If you find that to be expensive, that's your opinion.

Thailand is the place to be, Dubai looks a total rip off.

Looking at that cost of living, I have to agree that Thailand, Malaysia and Bali seem like better value for money. Dubai seems suitable for those with a successful remote-first business or those who have enough money saved up to live off of capital gains. For those earning a salary or those just starting out with a company, Dubai just won't be worth it.

My biggest problem with your video - no prices in local currency. It is AED and not USD in Dubai.

I know but 98% of people watching this are international, hence more familiar with USD.
