Welcome back 😁 the good thing with all your video is that you talk about every single details which makes your videos very useful and informative to many people. Thank you and take care 😊
Thanks Sana! It's pleasing to hear that my videos are informative! Sometimes I am not sure if I do too much or too little 🤗
No please continue like that. You have a talent believe me 😊... I have a question: we hear all the time that discussing political issues is forbidden. What about discussions about politics in other countries or those concerning your home country is this also forbidden?
@@sanagrey5293 He really ghosted you for 3 years and counting.
I don't know how I came across these videos but I want more of them!! You are great mate.
Thanks so much! Truly appreciate it!
hi. I already visited Dubai during 2017, I think your video is good with a lot of good tips. Someone would say 'it's only about common sense' but I personaly belive there are a lack of common sense these days, expecially when people became 'tourist mode' :-) . Nice video, now I watch part 2
Welp, now I understand why I NEVER see photos or videos from there. In fact, this is the first video I’ve seen come out of that entire area.
Absolutely well delivered bro! Thanks for the great advice.
Thank you for sharing a very helpful information before visiting Dubai especially from the one who lives there for more than 25 years. Is‘s very helpful and in the same time it makes me a little bit worry to visit this beautiful city. One more thing, you speak very clearly&slowly in the video I really enjoy it. Big Thanks.:))))
Thank you for this...you answered my question that I posed in your "Living In Dubai" video,
Thank you for sharing all the insight!
It's great to be informed about the laws because I am going to visit over there.
Thank you. This is really helpful.
To be honest, it just sounds like be modest...
Great information, thanks!!
Summary of the video:
You can drink but you can't drink.
You can take photos but you can't take photos.
You can fly drones but you can't fly drones.
One does not simply swear.
One does not simply fight.
One does not simply post crimes on Social Media.
One does not simply get naked.
One does not simply become gay.
yep you can take photos but not the people ... usually its ok .. like to me its so what it doesnt harm me but if it does than hey hey delete it
Or basically, don't even fart👍
@@rutter1ify yeah dont fart in public thats disgusting you creep guy with weird fetish ... go to a toilet or fart in you property/house
Well, no drones, no drink and no gays? Count with me, i want to live there
@@facundozaffino7304 you need a drone permit , drink inside you house or in the designed places but dont go out while drunk, gays go to jail....you see we are born with a dick or a pussy so you better act like you have one not the other
Thank you for this video , In few years time I’m planing to work for Emirates airlines. Which therefore I will move to Dubai in the future inshallah.
be modest, be civil, act like an adult, exercise some common sense, and you'll be just fine!
Clutch_masta77 Exactly... just be respectful of the culture like any normal person would when visiting another country...simple! 😎
It’s funny to me that UAE is all about respect and actually they launched the “Tolerance” campaign this year BUT if you’re gay, that doesn’t apply. Absolutely ridiculous and nothing but hateful.
Love it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Yeh. And just make sure that you,re not a woman because that means they treat you like shit
I heard that they was a girl from a foreign country came to Dubai for a job and was drugged and raped when she reported it to the police they arrest her and the person who rapped her for having sex without being married and she was also arrested for using drugs are just want to know how true is this and if not then how will they handle this situation if it might happen .
Love your work Carl
Thank you for these videos, considering taking a job in Dubai, all useful information.
I saw in another video that you have literally no job security in Dubai
Thank you. Great advice. I am visiting my sister in April would be careful going for family life.
Hi Guys! If you are new to Dubai looking for a job? Check out my e-book that will be useful for you here on: www.katiabaddur.com/the-expats-guide-to-working-in-duba
Great info thanks!
You have amazing videos. I have a question. You said to ask permission to take photos or videos. What happens if you go to the public mall or that ski place or the park and you want to take a photo or video of the surrounding and everywhere there is a lot of people, what do you then? You can't literally go up to everyone and ask for permission. So what do you suggest in this case? Thank you
Thank you for your video Carl.I am going to watch all your videos on this topic. My partner has been offered a job in Dubai. I am researching and want to learn more about what life is like for Australian women, as I don't know if I want to go. Can I apply for jobs there?
Great video thanks for the details 👍
Super good advices
Hey,thanks for the infos! How hard is it, how much is it and how long it takes to obtain a drone licence? Thanks!
@carl hewlett, what about maintenance drugs/medication ? and data on iPad/laptop, do they check? thanks!
Thank you Andy Murray
Informative.
Very informative.. Thank you
Love the bonsai trees. Are they artificial?
You can't bring medication... That really limits tourism.
Steve H
Yeah, I would never get to go. I’m on methadone maintenance, so this country is out. Real bummer.
Thank u. İt was very helpful.
I'm from a small free country and Dubai is about as welcoming as a kick in the teeth
they lull you onto a false sense of security with the glossy promotional videos showing tourists having a great time but its all lies
Hi carl I would like to know the city of Umm Al quawain if there’s different roles in dubai it would really help me allot planing to work there. Thank you 🙏
The reason i asked is,your home is your home right,so to get to the point,privacy....,would they check your home if there is any alcohol?
Thanks for Good information
love the content
Looking at coming to Dubai to work as a chef, any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated?
So if I was interested in living there I wouldn't be able to take my medication? I take buprenorphine and according to that list it's illegal there. Would I not be able to get a Dr there to prescribe controlled substance?
great job
Thank u for sharing im also a vlogger here in dubai
Thank you Juar! :-)
So if you ask permission to take a photo and they say yes...you post it and they later dislike, you run risk of being thrown in jail? I guess you have to get proof.
Ya, thought same... best to blur people out I guess
Planning on coming to Dubai from Nigeria... Want do I really need? Basically am coming to work
What if u share an accident\ crime Sean from different country?
What's a good salary only for one person?
Great Video! Thank You!🙂👍Respect their Laws and Government period.
awesome informative video thanks. (bonsai 's not for indoors, you should take them out man)
Hello Carl, thank you so much for this. I'm moving to Dubai. How do I connect with you. I'm a film maker.
I love Dubai, all those rules makes sense
How much money for rent a apartment and they have home entertainment like boombox and electronics stores and want dept stores
that's pretty neat 👍✨✨ We are friend🛎🤝👍
Scenery and music made for a very magical and wonderful experience. Thank you
for sharing. New sub here. This is very beautiful and uplifting. Thank you. Woo ow!!
Love it its so true
really sucks about the drone, how do you get a permit for the drone if your a tourist?
Dubai Port Jail is a little rough. Al Wir is a nice jail.
You can really use a painting on the wall behind you :)
I totally agree with you! So plain!! 😳 I do have plans to get something really nice but need to save up a bit for it 🤕
naw, just paint it
@ateb3 😂👌
@ateb3 😢😢😢🤣🤣

What is cost Dubai burj khalifa apartment n maintenance for month cost
Great vid
Thanks so much! 🤗
Can we bring a few bottles of wine in our luggage and keep it in hotel?
I’m going to Dubai next month. Can you show me around please?? 😁😁
Are there cycling groups who like to race? I ask because I lived in Shanghai and cyclied on a few cycling teams. The Chinese had no problem with me being a woman in lycra any of the times are cycling teams got together. Thank you in advance for all of your content. ~ dlwsport
Oh dear, I am going to Dubai on 6th of May from the UK to visit my daughter and now I feel stressed already after watching this video...but I had a good laugh reading some comments below....ha ha ha
How was it?
What if you ask someone's permission to take a photo and they say "okay", but once you have taken the picture they report you to the police or threaten to do it and demand money from you so that they don't report you? You will not be able to prove that they gave their permission.
Tuff situation
You could record them a second time saying it’s okay
Bro you act like these are shady people like in America and that they will "ME TOO" you.
Arabs are civilized people, crime is a crime according to evidence not what "he said she said" BS
On swearing: does that apply to both English and Arabic, and could you get in trouble for RTing or sharing any foreign tweets or posts that include swearing?
It's fine to swear?
Free speech!
If I’m swearing with my friends and making some offensive jokes online (they are in another country) will I get into trouble for that?
Thank you
No Music, Movies, or Dancing allowed! No dissent allowed. You can be arrested at any time on specious or Trumped up (pun intended) charges. Sound like a really fun place!
Nope thats incorrect... No music on public transport and any public place not designated for loud music playing specially on days of Ramadan, but u can play music in your home, the clubs can play music in their hearts content and there's a lot of international artist doing their gig in UAE.. Dancing is allowed on clubs n any social parties obviously..
@@oliviasantos5004 But no Radio or TV stations that play Rock and Roll, Classical,or even Jazz! Islam? No thanks!
@@Beamshipcaptainthere is a ton of radio stations. You can listen to loud music in your car as long as it doesn't disturb the people
Wow this is more illustrated wish to see more of this. Is it possible we can do a collaboration and bring out the different expectation we have had and unfortunately it was not what we expected.
I would love it there u basically have to have respect for others nd mature I love it
women have to cover up
@@hashbashtash that doesn't stop many woman from enjoying staying there. Its not like Iran
wow i really wanted to go :( but i don't think this seems like a fun place for me anymore :(
it’s really fun haha just a lil strict than the uk haha
If you wanna go to a desert city go to Vegas!
Thanks
I can see some of these things but what does throwing people into jail do?
What your filmimg i dont get it
I’m a nervous wreck just trying to remember the seemingly long list of “No, this might land you into a lot of trouble”. Maybe you should do a list of what is allowed, which from an outsider just trying to learn about Dubai, would be very short.
Going there would be taking too much of a chance, you'd be living in fear constantly of "offending" someone, and landing in prison! No thank you! Give me the Stars and Stripes forever!
it probably amounts to one thing. spend your money
@@Beamshipcaptain You westerners are very rude, that's probably why you have very high crime rates.
@@Beamshipcaptain Yes, please stay there.
Can you wear t-shirts with your favorite bands on them?
This is exactly where I want to live it sounds like heaven on Earth everything I believe in in one Clean safe place
Sounds like a cool place.
U are great
Do you have to wear knee length shorts in public or can u have any shorts (men)
WHEN IN ROME!! SOMETHING TO ALWAYS REMEMBER!! 🤘
Alternatively just go somewhere else
You keep saying “it will get you in a lot of trouble”. What do mean when you say “a lot of trouble”? Are we talking a ticket kind of trouble, where you pay a fine? Do you mean jail kind of trouble? Or do you mean prison for years kind of trouble?
Im guessing he means “don’t drop your soap in the shower” type of trouble
I think I can hear hints of Scottish in your accent.
Love your channel! You are soooo handsome 😍
Excellent video brother Ma-sa-Allah
Nice
I do agree with all points but it is a little bit more flexible than the way he said .. you can do whatever u want but respect other people u will be absolutely fine .. Be civilized and welcome all to Dubai any time ❤️
What about swearing on social media to other people that don't live in dubai?
Is it fine to swear in Dubai and not getting reported?
So if your visiting Dubai, and your on prescribed medication (pain) it's not allowed,??
U just take the prescription with u all the time...
Are there ever times where someone says “yes, you can take a picture,” but then they change their mind later and report you?
Because it’d really just be your word against theirs, and I imagine their word, as a citizen, would immediately be believed over yours.
NEVER
Anubis “Never” what? You’re saying nobody in Dubai has EVER given approval for taking pictures, then changed their mind, and tattled on the picture-taker?
@@DannyD-lr5yg that will never happen to you why he would agree to it in the first place and will change his mind? I went there a lot and now I'm in Kuwait, this will consider lying in Arabic culture and he will be in the wrong situation, not you.
Anubis
1. Of course it won’t happen to me, i lives thousands of miles away.
2. People say one thing and then change their minds all the time. People also lie all the time. Sometimes, the people who lie most, are the ones who declare the loudest that lying is bad.
3. If an individual UAE citizen had a private, short conversation with a tourist, and the citizen said “yes, you may take my picture” so the tourist did.. and then the citizen saw the picture online and didn’t like it, or maybe they just felt like being cruel, and then went to the police and said “this person took my picture without my consent,” I guarantee you the law would side with the citizen. Want to know why? Because the tourist would be unable to prove what was said, so NOBODY would know the citizen was lying
Anubis
If you want examples that people in all countries - including the UAE - will lie, change their minds, and be cruel, then research the multiple women who have been jailed in the UAE for reporting r.a.pe. One woman was drugged and ra.p.ed by her three male coworkers; when she reported it to the UAE police, SHE was prosecuted for having extramarital relations. The men claimed it was consensual, and they were automatically believed.
(In Dubai) If go out in the street whith a T- shirt having a Charles Darwin picture on it, and also written (with arab letters) like "read the works of Darwin , Jerry Coyne and Dawkins- for proof that humans evolved from apes... etc " will I get arrested? This is like I don't respect their religion. And also what if enter a Mosque (muslim church) with the T-shirt mentioned before?
Just steer clear folks
What about tattoos?
Great vid, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Lucas Avolio Tattoos are fine. I have tattoos . Many of my friends have tattoos. However there are no legal tattoo parlours although there are many artists who do it at their homes.
Hey Carl, can I vape there instead of a cigarette?
Taking photos is a problem? Wtf then am I vacationing there for?
Why do people think this is a pleasurable and desirable place to travel?
Interesting question.
Carl, thanks for this video cos I am planning on taking my girlfriend to Dubai, but i am a confused on the do's and dont's..am I even allowed to take pics with my girlfriend and do we have to avoid sleeping in the same room,what am I to expect bro...thanks
Hello Jerry, thanks for your comments! Majority of people do take photos especially in public areas / where tourist visit. As long as no one else is in the photo it's not a problem (but even with someone in the photo you would get away with it). If your staying in a hotel, you shouldn't have any issues. Its tricky to understand because this video tries to explain the laws but when your here, you feel that everyone does what they want. As long as you keep any personal affectiom private & discreet, no one will say anything. Hope that helps!
Thank a lot bruh...🤗
What would you consider 'cross dressing'? If a girl wore jeans, would she go to prison?
4:40 That is damn hard for having a UA-cam channel or wanna film stuffs
I still can’t figure out why anyone would live/work here. Sounds terrible. Taxes? What is it.
Hi, cari 😊
