In this video we talk about how strict is Dubai, and the reality of the Dubai laws and strictness of the city and country of the United Arab Emirates. I've been living in Dubai for a while now, and before I moved to Dubai I had many misconceptions on how life would be like living in Dubai. I thought it would be this super strict muslim nation with stringent laws and restrictions, but to my pleasant surprise, it's very different to what I imagined.
In this video I discuss what you shouldn't do in Dubai, what situations to look out for, what clothing is appropriate for which places, and in general what to do about the strictness of Dubai. I also discuss personal behavior like public displays of affection that might affect your daily life in Dubai.

Great explanation dude. I came to Dubai for a visit in 2017 from Michigan. Long story short, I'm still here and love it.
Awesome good to know!
I love Dubai I lived there for 7 years it is safe and well developed but it is expensive a bit and hot too.

Hi, the more I watch you channel to more I like an idea to start my business at Dubai. The city is familiar to me since 2018 when I stayed for 3 months.. and moved out..but there is still what if...
Dubai sounds pretty great
is subletting possible in dubai? thinking of renting a place for year to show ties but sublet it to someone while I'm away
officially no but happens all the time
Mate, just that you know Hindi is a language and not a religion. Hinduism is a right word to use.
Doesn't seem so strict 🤔
You're crazy
@@foggycraw6758 if its strict, dont come bro so easy
10:15 this will be a problem for me. i LOVE how they dress, so me looking at them they think i am either wondering why they dressed that way or i am too interested and could be in a sexual way, and they don't do too well with that. but no big deal, I'll just avoid it.
Love the channel but we can't live with restrictions
Don't come its easy
No thank you
basically, u need to be like muslims and be scared of their rules becuase you are in their country
understandable.
💙🙏
I wish there was an actual Christian country. Like dubai, but Christian.
UAE is a great country
Wow, I would love to live where there are no drugs, no half naked butts and boobs hanging out of clothes, homosexuals everywhere with purple hair...cool!
same, sounds like a dream place to me if not for the heat. Sounds ideal to raise a family....Not sure if I can take the heat tho
Same....but yeah that heat
I’ve lived in Dubai and it’s fantastic. Generally I am a person who respects the laws of the country that I visit or live in so I didn’t find the Laws of Dubai any challenging. I would recommend Dubai to anyone 👍🏽
Awesome great to know, thank you for commenting!
Please tell me if two unmarried people can live in a hotel
C an two unmarried people live in a hotel
I don't recommend Dubai - specially coming from USA
dubai is nice place for everybody. no matter what is your background. or religion or race. every body is happy. the law in dubai is perfect. and the police is there to protect you. respect every body and you will be fine.
7:12 i dont see the big deal. Alcohol should be consumed in private and designated areas is my belief and that is how it is in Dubai. I do not understand why anyone would want to dress certain way in public, that's stupid. The saying, do as the Romans do is true in every word. You go to Dubai/UAE, you do as they do... SIMPLE. YOU are "invading" THEIR space.
in terms of not wearing shorts to government offices. Is not only Dubai or about Islam, I'm living in Thailand and it's same here, when you are going to government office (e. g immigration) they require you to cover up as well.
I didn't know that. Interesting.
Even if you don't smoke weed in uae/Dubai but smoked before you arrived in Dubai and after reaching Dubai and go to medical tests for any need and if they find out anything in your system you will be arrested even though let's say you smoked it in California before flew to Dubai it's really weird law but last year it happened to an American.
I had a client recently who smokes a ton in Netherlands and did the medical in Dubai with no issues, maybe it was a few years ago or the quantity was super high in the blood test
Some of the best tips on how to conduct yourself when in Dubai! It is easy to fall in love with Dubai. I went twice last year and will be back this year. I am even considering moving there and setting up business but I would need somewhere to go during the crazy hot summers 🙂
I’m going back for the third time and I still love Dubai
listen to this guy he is saying the truth and his advise is priceless.
It's Hindu bro, Hindi is the language😂
Excellent video, thank you.
I was in Dubai in 2019 for three days.
The hotel didn't serve alcohol until after a set time in the afternoon. There was no bacon at the breakfast buffet.
Otherwise, it felt completely normal.
thats better for your health
The only problem I have with the laws is smoking weed... Lol 😂 I can't stop living with that funny enough
9:31 that hotel/residence is a private property, so do as you please according to their own rules. Actually... just few days ago I decided that's where I'll get my first apartment. Really like the 3-4br condos with pool on big terrace/balcony. The villas are awesome too but I prefer the views from the condos.
How much do you have to pay for that?
Hello, can I open a personal bank account in emirates NBD and receive funds from Saudi Arabia everyday? is it going to be an issue or bank gonna ask me question if I receive funds everyday or in 2-3 days?
what amount do you suggest to receive everyday so that I stay under the radar?
It's not a chant - it's a call to prayer or athan in Arabic. It let's people know it's time to pray.
No one cares
In order to avoid making costly mistakes when investing in the financial sector, it is strongly advised that investors who want to improve their financial standing in the markets consult an advisor.
Your approach is correct and shows you have lots of experience but since everybody wants to become rich overnight most coming to the markets newly don’t seek professional advice
Whenever you work with experts in any field you will surely make improvements and when you get in at the right time you will undoubtedly make a profit.
How can I start up investing in the financial markets, was reading through before I jumped in here. Total noob on this

Dubai is one thing... but aren't laws and practices very different from emirate to emirate in the UAE? I mean, it's no secret that Sharjah is a very conservative place. As concerns alcohol, I remember that Umm-al-Quwain was the only emirate where you could buy it in a shop, "off licence" as the British say. But I haven't been to the UAE for ten years, so things may have changed.
In Abudhabi you can buy without licence even Dubai nowadays
There is men's wearing speedos briefs on dubai beach and women's wearing thong bikinis at dubai beach. The society is opening up by slowly. There also opening up big gambling casinos in dubai by 2026.
I'd love to live in Dubai. But I'm not independently wealthy. I'd need some kind of job 🙄
It's more like family oriented country not for the crazy.
FYI, many men from Arab and middle eastern cultures hold hands and kiss on the cheeks casually as a form of daily greeting. Don’t confuse that with their stance on homosexuality 😅
Great video. I lived in Abu Dhabi starting back in 2004 and have seen a big change related to expat life in UAE.
Is Abu Dhabi cheaper than Dubai? How about the lifestyle?
More expensive. Housing is cheaper in Dubai and Dubai is more relaxed.
Are there ever Demonstrations on the streets of Dubai - Western-style, with placards, some chanting, etc. Peaceful not violent. Let me guess - No!!
Subbed after your livestream with Richard Cooper, amazing content! 🔥
I dont drink so no problem for me and I'm very respectful everyones beliefs. Great video and really informative. Thanks so much !
6:05
Lol thats not a song. Muslims dont sing...no chants...ew thats cringe...its just call to prayer or adhaan as they say. They the prayer will start they dont need loudspeaker for that but they do for some reason.
bikini on the beach is not the same as walking in bikini TO the beach. forget the latter !
walking in bikini even in the most open world is rude, i live in France and i never saw some one walking in bikini in the street :)
Can you make friends with the locals as a westerner or do they like to keep to themselves? You did say they’re more reserved, so I’m inclined to think not so much.
Hey, a UAE local here. The younger generation of UAE locals are a lot more open with westerners than the older generation, so don’t expect to make conversations with some elderly emiratis (not saying that its impossible of course, more than often its simply because of a language barrier)
Well... They say Dubai is too strict... And yet they live in a country where you can not talk about gender biology... Go figure
Its not Hindi its hindu religion , Hindi is the language spoken in India , if you in this business i think you should you this things
If you're American, you need to pay taxes on any profit over 100k/year made in dubai
if you get more then 100K per year, why dont you pay whatever need to be paid, do you want more money then that ? c'mon stop your greed
We're moving there next year. So excited!
you cant show emotions in dubai i mean no kissing or hugging your partner in the streets.
Crazy
This helped calm me down although I am visiting on the 9th of February which is next week and I am so nervous because I have anxiety and I have a prescribed bottle of Xanax and I'm terrified that I'll go to jail or be denied entry because of it. I've tried to contact various people to get approval or to know what I need to do but that doesn't seem to be any clarity.
Hello, how’d Dubai went ? I have anxiety too ! I want to travel so bad but my anxiety gets in the way. I am prescribe Xanax and hydroxyzine too. Were you cleared to take it with you ?
Can I get arrested there just to get a ride in a Bugatti? 😅
What about homosexuality? Is homosexuality accepted? 🤔
Plus Islam is very strict with that and most likely will never change .
@@nataliewalters2759 why do we need to change ? why dont you change ? and why does some one have to change ? :)
alcohol is avaliable in dubai and there is some bars in the uae. but you are not allowed to drive when you are drunk. and you cant drink in public you can drink at home or in bars or discos. if you are a Christian you can buy alcohol from special stores and you have to have a permit that says that you are not a muslim. you can buy whatever you want.
iv lived in dubai for along time and am a muslim. but for a western people its very friendly city. the will accept you and you can drink and wear whatever you like.
I guess it's a no if you're a proselytizing Jehovah's witness or a Mormon
I just started watching your videos and I am addicted ! Thank you so much for so much info, very professional, honest and clear english !
Thank you so much !
can I bring my guns to Dubai?
Seriously dude?😂
You think it's the US smh
I actually like all these rules!
Thank you. So do i. A law abiding society free of femanism where we all respect eachother sounds like heaven
yeah i prefer lots of these laws too, I really dont like how here in Vancouver on every corner i smell marihuana
Can u do the video about ur wife that u said u were going to make?
Watched this video for the second time. I really can’t give up all my hard-earned freedoms
Then stay where you are.......simple!
Not sure what freedoms you are giving up other than drugs? If you are in the west, don't count on having too much freedom or free speech in the near future.
I don't see any problem with Dubai if you're a respectful person. I'm sure only Americans would struggle.
This actually sounds extremely reasonable, compared to what I expected. It sounds like a very nice place to visit. I'm not sure if I would like to live there
one thing no one mentions it do not practice witchcraft or magic its illigal
That really should be a global thing like back in the day .
*sounds like a soft N.Korea*
yeah, so in your country girls are in bikini at the mall ? and you take picture at random people like they are subjects ? if we are N.korea so let us be ! we are the happiest people that ever existed, so yeah N.Korea :)
Great interview with Rich Cooper!
Link!!!
Im on testosterone Replacement therapie. I use it with a dokter description would that be a problem
Lol my question is what is considered “provocative “ for a woman not to wear out there since they are covered from head to toes?
Why do you say cero taxes in Dubai when you have to pay 4% buying a property? Please let's know about that. Thanks
I’ve been investing into crypto for the past few weeks. When the crypto bull run is here, I’ll hit you up 🙏
What kind of consequences are there if they feel like you are being disrespectful to the country's official religion? Like someone preaching Christianity to a Muslim for example?
Puffff... Their body's odor are suffering in side the lift.. Carry spray inside your purse
Successs.
I can't watch this for 10 minutes but do tell me about browsing porn
I have a question. How about to use internet to work? I've heard that is too restrictive and people need to use VPN, and that VPN is prohibited in Dubai. I'm planning to move to Dubai, I'll have my residency cause my husband, but I would continue working remote to a company in Europe and I need to use VPN and make video calls with them. Do you think that will be a problem?
Sounds great to me!
Mi fai ridere...tutto questo"protocollo"...ma chi sa cosa fanno di "nascosto"...😁
The opening already won me over , don't touch me don't look at me 😆
Are you allowed to chat up women in public places? Ie expats
Yes of course
I’m a single guy and hate online dating and used to the western culture but hate all the taxes I am paying
@@HunkyMan777 thanks fo r the heads up - i thought as much
UAE is not a place you will find a woman unless super lucky or under the right circumstances. Look up the male to female ratio. Correct me if I’m wrong
@@22utoo
The male female ratio is only that way because there are so many hard jobs that requires male workers
I really wish we had this dress code in the US😔😮💨
Could you compare dubai to japan in terms of safety and theft plz ?
Best information ℹ️ ever. Thank you 🙏 very much.
What is the best low tax country where you can smoke weed in peace ?
If you want to actually make money smoking weed should be the last thing on your mind
Facts , doing drugs isn’t cool you can do far more in life without it!
Thank you for this information!
How are there bars that don’t sell alcohol, not much of a bar more of a restaurant
Hindi is not a religion bro come on 😅
@Nihilistic Atheist I hear you, it’s a joke!! but he lives in Dubai where he meets thousands of Nepalese / Indian / Pakistani both Hindus and Muslims people so he knows the difference. Obviously mistake on a video we say wrong things sometimes, but it’s going on public site like UA-cam so being a professional should obviously check before uploading. We are here for knowledge!
I rather live in a green area like NA and Europe. It’s not because there’s 0 income tax that I’m willing to go in a desert with that absurd heat.
come and listen my friend I hope your channel will be more successful🤲☝️
5:12 or just do a run to Unisat in Ajman. 😅
Awwww. What a great video, thank you!
Lol...showing your thing off😅
you can wear what ever you want in dubai. people will accept your clothes or the bikini at the beach.
What brand of shirt is it you wear ?
Can you live with your girlfriend? (Not married obviously)
Yes its not a problem at all
I love Dubai ❤️
NETHERLANDS TOP DRUGS 🇳🇱😂
What kind of businesses can a person do in Dubai?
Do you have to be Rich to move there?
Not necessarily, it's more expensive than most cities but $5-10K/month income is enough to live comfortably.
@@WealthyExpat thanks for your reply are they very strict like other countries about getting the vaccine are they vaccine mandate there?
you may get banned if you do trouble
anyone been to Ferrari World ?
That's crazy 😳😳😳
Any insight on the rules and regulations on opening a business in Dubai?
I enjoyed your instructions.
Nice summary!
