It’s a great vibe!

Thank you for making this video. My husband was offered a job in Dubai and I’ve been hesitant about it but his son already lives there and I’m trying to learn everything I can. I’ve lived in South Carolina my whole life and I’m nervous but also want to support my husband.

I enjoyed your info as American

no really man. I lived in the midwest and dubai. dubai groceries are 50% less. the super nice resturant will be 10x better than the best place in NYC and still 1000% cheaper. where do you find 100 USD buffet in US in 7 stars hotel. Impossible.

It’s interesting what things cost less/more in different countries.

Dubai is EXPENSIVE!

you complain about the Dubai public transport but there are at least 100 US cities which have more or less no public transport system at all

*thousands of US cities have horrible public transportation, but if we're talking about Dubai (a global city with millions of people), then we need to compare Apples to Apples. There's only a handful of cities in the United States that Dubai can be compared to including New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Of those, only LA compares to Dubai with it's reliance on cars for transportation and therefore terrible traffic.

I like swimming but here in Dubai I hate swimming in the sea because it is never transparent. What is your view?

It's relatively clear given the currents and boat traffic! I guess I'm coming from lake swimming in Michigan which is less clear. If you go up the coast to Saadiyat Island, it's some of the clearest sea water in the world. Happy swimming :)

Correct. There are two alternatives to consider. One is renouncing your citizenship to the United States, and the other is if you spend less than 30 days inside the United States there's a certain amount of income that is not taxed. Seek tax consult by a professional!

Strange that you - comming from the US - forgot to talk about the safety. I am sure you notices that Dubai is a place where you can walk at any time of the day or night in any part of the city and nothing wil happen to you. Even as a woman. Guess the is in most parts of the world quite different

Most of the world is not even close to Dubai on every measure of safety. I didn't mention it because my day to day life isn't really any different. I'm sure if I were a woman I could see how beneficial to have the peace of mind you get in Dubai and the region in general.

Thank you, please let people know about how they need to act in public. What goes on in the western world they do not go for it in Dubai. It us a peaceful place for both men and women. Westerns leave your attitudes at home once you get on that plane.

Very true. Most people visiting from the U.S. will find cost pretty reasonable

As a US citizen do you still pay US taxes?

Yes, as an American citizen, the only way to not be a citizen is renouncing your citizenship. I still have USA citizenship and pay taxes.

Good question. I think that's a lifestyle choice that should factor everything someone wants to do/enjoys spending time.

You’re right. $7k USD per month take home will allow you to live very comfortably. Depending on where you want to live and how many people you need to support, you might need more.

UAE ranks 7th on the global slavery index. The grit you are missing is a lower class that isn’t stuck in indentured servitude, but that’s also the reason for every pro you list.

@fksebati

4 ай бұрын

That’s not grit. Grit is the culmination of a working culture that has developed over a long period of time and comes through in the way people live and work. Like I said, it’s hard to describe. However, your comment isn’t the full picture. Based on the index you’re referring to: 13 in every 1,000 people in the UAE fit their (global slavery index) umbrella criteria. In the USA the number is 3 in 1,000 people. Half of Europe and Asia is in the same ballpark as the UAE. So for a country that’s a few decades old and continuously improving, it’s likely this will improve quickly as well (as it already has). A bigger issue is homelessness which I didn’t cover in this video. In the United States this is a major problem. One of the worst in the world for a “developed country”. In the UAE, it’s not an issue because the native citizens are only 1m and the government can support their population. Everyone else living in the UAE has a job. Therefore the unemployment rate is one of the lowest in the world.

So he’s rich . The Average American can’t afford to live there.
