Dubai vs London - two megacities that a lot of people dream of moving to that are in some ways very similar but in most ways drastically different.
I lived in London for a total of 4 years.
But due to some factors which we will talk about in this video, I no longer see it as a place to call my home.
So at the start of this year, I moved to Dubai where I have been living ever since.
So, now that I have properly experienced living in both places, I wanted to make this comprehensive guide where I compare the cities so that you can decide which one could be right for you.

Just moved to Dubai from London (born and bred), everything he said is spot on. I held back form moving due to the cultural heritage I loved so much, but eventually other factors became too strong of an issue. Safety - you will not believe how much this makes you feel. I hate being back in London, with the fear of being mugged or encountering some random nutter.
There are huge number of Skyscrapers in USA and UAE. But Why there is no Skyscrapers in UK ?
@@nafiu6885 because they have more conservation laws and regulations in place that limit tall buildings. Only in the 80s they relaxed some of it for specific parts of London. Planning regulations in UK are some of the toughest plus run by typical white middle class cliques.
Dubai is the best city in the world. Got so much negative feedback before getting here. Nothing will beat the safety and security this city offers compared to London and NY.
100% There's lots of Western propaganda against Dubai based on outdated ideas but everyone who is here loves it.
I have to agree. Safety is not something to be compromised. You can just walk the streets at 2am in Dubai and you don't feel like you need watch your back. Things change and improve. The leader has a vision for his city...
What is the vision for the UK? The government is just rinsing the UK. The corruption is clear, just like any other 3rd world country.
@@tuomaskiv Not much mentioned here about the human rights issues in Dubai. Being gay is illegal. Using dating apps like Grindr can result in imprisonment and criminals use it for ransom attacks. Pornography also banned and IP addresses are monitored. Your videos are great but you also have a duty to talk about these things to inform travellers of the strict Islamic laws which impact minorities like gay people.
@@thejuicydollop Let’s talk about how much human rights the US values first lol

nice video, keep going on like this
Great video!
Also UK is more than just London you know. There's other places in UK much better than London.
Also ut doesn't rain here all the time like people say.
Yes it does rain. But it's not always.
We do get warm, cold, wet and mild. So you get all 4. So for me I prefer it in UK.
I don't even care much about my own country either. But I would say I would rather live in UK in my opinion.
Man from Finland complaining about the cold, wet overcast weather in London..
Let that sink in...😅
It’s why I left Finland too
I love Dubai and I love London. I live in London and I have my own business here, but I am thinking more and more of moving to Dubai, for the reasons you specified in this video, mostly because I feel like the taxes are going to go up even more in the coming years, the UK is losing its "entrepreneur friendly" status and people are more and more becoming negative. The funny thing is that I love both the hot weather in Dubai and sometimes I also like the cold one in London, I love the historicity of London and the modernity of Dubai... So maybe, the best solution would be to just live in both cities, spend at least six months and one day in Dubai, and the rest either in London or back home (in Italy). That probably sounds like perfection
Yeah! I think a great option is to have a base in both - winter home in Dubai, summer home in London, but don’t spend enough time in UK to trigger tax residence
Really cool video. I'm going to check out your other clips regarding Dubai. What website did you mention in the finance part?
numbeo.com
Like this guy this right tell us what’s really going on in London n Dubai
Can you do a video regarding differences between Dubai and Finland
Maybe i should revisit dubai it didnt do it for me but it was a short visit.
I am moving to Dubai this year
welcome!
I will choose London for art and culture
London is def much better for that
Don’t even talk about the weather comparison. I’m currently in Dubai close to 50 degrees and humidity through the roof, surrounded by car fumes and smog.
I’ll take the rain any day of the week!
Just add one more think. I hear london is too expensive but dubai its aint cheap either, in london you can live with public transportation no problem where in dubai it depends on the person. Me personally , i cant live without a car in dubai at all. Every person i know has car. The car factor is important here as taxies are too expensive so will you end up paying alot in taxies so you might consider buying one for example.
Hey man, have you been to Abu Dhabi though ?
Yess, visited twice
Can I have your whatsapp number please
What is the name of the website? Numo? I cant fing it
Numbeo
What level of income would you say its worth considering a move to dubai?
$5-7k per month imo if you are single
@@tuomaskiv because of the tax benefits purely, you’d probably save money i guess
London, great past, no future. It's karma. Sit down and watch your LG HD TV.
Dubai, sunshine and safety. Sometimes it's hot, but smile, you have AC. 😎
Dubai❤️
dont know why I watch these video... I already know the answer
I am originally from Algeria, but Have lived for almost 30 years in America. I went to London to see what the fuss is all about in that city few years ago and I was actually SHOCKED!!! London is a SMALL VILLAGE compared even to Paris. London has a downtown and that's it. The buildings in London are very small, there are very few buildings with more than even 4 stories ( I am not talking about the small city you all call the city of London- the supposedly financial hub of finance in Western Europe). Paris on the other hand is EMPERIAL, its like that scene in the movie Gladiator when the General slash slave gladiator comes back from North Africa to Rome and looks at the colosseum. Paris or even Vienna is grandiose and beautiful and you fell like this city was built for a true empire. In New York the buildings are so tall and there are so many of them that the city dwarfs you and dwarfs anything around it, the same thing goes for Tokyo. Basically London is still a medieval village compared to Dubai, New York, Tokyo or Shanghai or even Berlin!!!
You forget canary wharf , it seems you may not have explored London well.how many days did you spend there
London has the tallest buildings in western Europe, what are you talking about? Also the city of London, the small downtown core has taller buildings than paris, like the shard, and of course canary wharf has way more skyscrapers than la defense, there are great and newer areas in london compared to paris, which you as a tourist would never know about, like greenwich peninsula, or battersea/nine elms area
Brexit means Brexit though hey....
I will choose London anytime because i didn’t like dubai
Why
I actually hate summer and hot climate but the grey sky's in London is just way to much depressing
@@mosaabahmed8968I guess because dubai is poorly designed
Dubai is more iconic and the skycrapers are better
