7-year Dubai resident here (on and off) and I couldn't agree more with what you said. The people that criticize Dubai have usually not even first hand experience and are just brainwashed by the media. The west has long lost the ability to compete with what is being built in the Middle East, especially in Dubai, because you can actually feel, that people want to make their lives better here. And all that comes from strong leadership, something that the west is totally lacking in recent years.

perfectly said.

One of the most accurate, eloquent, and well phrased breakdowns of how Dubai is from a first person perspective. Great job 👏

Agreed. The best thing about dubai is that its people are driven and motivated for success.

Just yesterday I started thinking about Dubai as a possible place to live, the UK is going downhill fast. The more I learn and investigate, the more I feel that Dubai could be the perfect place! Thank you for the video, it was really insightful.

@@paulspencer2542 I meant to say people coming from western countries can enjoy a better life in UAE as they are paid way higher than their southeast Asians counterparts. Western people probably would only face resentment if they went against the law or else they lead a pretty good life in UAE , especially Dubai and if you are a skilled white guy then you are in for a luck to receive massive salary packages. For example : Where an Indian might get paid 5K Dirhams for a job , their western Counterparts can easily Clock 15k to 20k for the same position. The locals obviously have the best life as the government takes care of almost everything for them.

Great video as always. Thank you.

Hi Rasmus a lovely video about Dubai. I completely agree with you. Except for the heat in June, July, August and September, I believe it's the best and safest Country to live in. Of course discipline on finances has to be there because it's extremely tempting. You get the best. You name it and it's available in Dubai. Many people have a preconceived notion that Dubai is only for the rich unfortunately it's not true. One can still live an economical life style in Dubai. Though accommodation and medical is pretty expensive I think there are alternative options if people have the patience to figure that out. Above all the Country itself provides so much value by inspiring people across the globe. I admire the diverse world and especially their vision to the take the Country to another level.

Hey love your video, yes I been to Dubai for few days, and actually Copenhagen too, had a great time, after having a dinner in Palazzo Versace and drinks in Cavalli, I am hooked haha, but in real world Im just a physio and I do bodywork for clients, so basically its a normal job, I wish it was more special, idk even if I would make a good living there like, finally afford renting my own apartment instead of constantly sharing with strangers, or should I just stay put, idk❤from Ireland

sounds like a great city ,so these people are they Emirate's or other foreigners?

I would love to spend 3 months in Dubai .. but i don't know if i can find monthly rent for 1200 usd approximately ( bed room + living room )

Good question! I think it has a lot to do with the fact that 10% of the population is emirati and i would assume they move a bit different in Dubai than expats do. At least i haven’t come across them where i usually go 😊
