I’ve been watching you from your LSE days and it’s been a dream to watch you be intentional about all your next steps - so so so proud of the new era you’re entering 🥺❣️
Thank you girly for sticking around through all the stages 🥹🥹
Now you be intentional about you plans and next moves and be excited about that 💫

Nothing about neither Dubai nor the golden appearance of the stores or the items therein interest me as much as your beautiful and natural Black Beauty. With a woman like you by my side permanently, who needs all those material things that can barely make anyone happier
Wait until you See the other Side of NY. London and Paris
Every city has two faces. One that you see all the time and another that is hidden. You did such a great job. Never been to Dubai but this seems like the most realistic video I have seen so far. Can't wait to visit
Truw
Girl this flat would be advertised as "modern" and "newly decorated" in the UK 😂
I love your documentary type videos. Your storytelling is very appealing. Keep going :)
Thank you ☺️
I visited Dubai last year and I wish I had more time to visit Deira. So interesting and I’ll add it my list of places to visit next time I’m there. Thanks for sharing.
It’s definitely an interesting place to visit, thanks for watching 💕
So is like. Brooklyn but they only showed manhattan on tv. But brooklyn bronx and queens are the underground cities 😢😢
More like the Bronx, Brooklyn and then Queens. Queens is pretty decent and surpasses both the Bronx and Brooklyn in quality of life. However, Dumbo in Brooklyn is like the new Manhattan.
Williamsburg and Park Slope is pretty expensive as well so Brooklyn is taking the lead. Gentrified AF!
Brooklyn is fine I live 19 years in Sunset Park
I just fell in love with your channel. Great content girlie! I will be exploring Bahrain, heading back to Dubai and Abu Dhabi and prepping for that trip. I found your content very helpful.
Thanks for sharing that experience. I have no desire to visit, but enjoy seeing the area through other people's perspectives.
Abu Dhabi appeals to me much more. Beautiful wide tree lined boulevards, gorgeous parks, historic buildings. I’ve lived in both Dubai Marina and Abu Dhabi, they are so different.
Yes they really are different!
@. Have you ever er gone to the Dragon Mall? Very unique place! My favourite mall is still Ibn Battuta….it’s so pretty.
Abu Dhabi is more greeny and beautiful. Love staying in Abu Dhabi.
Thanks for showing the other side of Dubai, you are definitely more adventurous than me lol I was scared for you at parts of the video.
😂😂😂 I was scared for myself at certain points too but I probably wont be going back
Thanks for sharing the 'other side' of Dubai - it's definitely an eye-opening experience! Don't know if you got as far as the spice souk... it's filled with the most amazing smells and vibrant colours, worth a visit (and not so many bag sellers there!!) 💖✨️
You’re welcome! I did get to the perfume areas but I’m not sure I got to the spice areas actually, maybe next time. Thank you!
I like just ran into your content and I love it because it's raw ❤ love the raw footage
Been to Dubai and Abu Dubai many times, much prefer Abu Dubai.. Great place👍
Your accent is intoxicating 🇧🇸💖
I did not people of African descent, used the terms "uncle and auntie" for non family members. I know it is popular in India.
Yes we do! It’s a respect thing 💕
Exactly...smh
No we are not humans okay??
Yes totally respect
I'm African living in Bangalore India and yeah here we call Old people uncle...our landlords we call them uncle/ Aunt
No no no anyone that's truly being and stayed in Dubai knows this. For me personally I love this part of the city.
That’s nice
what do you work for them dubai just like any place it has bad parts that no one should go to
Very interesting! Thank you for making
Thank you for showing us this side of Dubai!
3:00 I wouldn't go there if I were you because the police often raids those shops from time to time.
Any customer caught there during such raids may be considered aiding and abetting an illegal trade!
Omgg no wonder why I couldn’t record
@it's really easy to get jammed up there. It's not the USA or Europe or even Japan. They make up the law as they go along. Trans have been detained at the airport for 12 hrs. No food. Then put on a plane and sent home. This was because their appearance didn't match the sex on their passport
you have an excellent future ahead of you --- your style and character will change the right people in the right way -- best wishes
You deserve a subscribe, thank you so much for always give us beautiful videos, I learn a lot from you I wish one day I will meet with you as your fan. Keep moving forward.
I want to be content creator but I don't have more skills about it, I hope the more I see your video I will be like you one day
I would really appreciate a video deep dive into your reasoning behind moving to Jo-burg, did the pros really overweight the obvious cons like crime, high femicide/DV ,etc? Thank you, wish you all the best.
Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing this side of Dubai
Thanks for watching 🫶🏽
Great video & Insightful
Deira is a working-class neighborhood. That means most people are low wage laborers, and the apartments are packed with 5 to 10 workers.
I thought through the understanding that female visitors cannot wear “certain” kinds of tops or bottoms. Did their dress code change?
😲wow... thanks for the eye opener
A friend of mine lived there for a few years. I’m shocked you walked around with that type of shirt there. Wow. My friend wore loose linen clothing because anything tight fitting brought too much negative attention. My friend is a white collar worker.
That must’ve been a very long time ago, dubai is not like that now
I was thinking the same thing. I thought that she would have to be covered up more.
Your Friend lied to you...😂
Thank you for this video 👍👏👏
You look related to charlamain from the breakfast club on power 105.1 fm newyork !!! I cant stop seeing it
I also had random cars slow down when I was waiting for a taxi or going for a walk in JVC it was very creepy and disappointing. Even taxi drivers who would ask where I was going, just overall a very unpleasant experience.
dubai and north korea habe the same empty town vibes
Last year we had stopover in Dubai. In the evening we went with metro to see this slum. Was hot and humid, every five metres some gold shop. We were only tourists there. Everything went ok.
I was teaching in Tajikistan and needed sinus surgery and so ended up in Dubai. It was not a destination spot for me, I've always considered it "the mecca of materialism". One of the first things I noticed was that everyone in the service sector was from Nepal, the Phillipines, India, etc. locals were few and far between. I wish I had done more research and known about Deira--it seems culturally more interesting!
My parents took me to the exact same places you showed, 20+ years ago. It looks like literally nothing's changed. I remember being taken up some twisting stairs to be shown knock-off goods.
🤣🤣🤣 crazy
My favorite part of Dubai. The locals were very good to us.
beyond natural beauty . no cap
I have seen that side of Dubai didn’t bother me at all
Always two sides to every coin. Very Interesting.
U are very pretty and has great verbal skills.
You are very brave girl going in these crazy country
dubai is one of the safest cities on each what crazy counties?
They gonna get you😮
I think is the same for any city in the world there is a good areas and there is poor areas. It's normal.
You won't see an advertisement of Miami, Colombia, Las Bahamas etc showing the bad areas
Im always in this area every time im in Dubai Souk Dahab
@lamideElizabeth welcome to deira , am mikel by name or popularly known as @ide aguleri ,am from nigeria base here in dubai , here in deira we have wonderful nigerians doing wonderfully well , when ever u want to come deira again let me know , we have beautiful restaurants here in deira for your nigerian food .
👑 BEAUTIFUL QUEEN 👑
You talked about the lady skilled in sewing, that she came to Dubai into a building with sex workers and she does not know anyone, her consulate and embassy is there to take care of her.
Just some advice before coming to Dubai contact your consulate or embassy ask them for a mobile number of an embassy worker in case of an emergency, never go inside a residence upon your first arrival. Check into a low cost hotel and do your homework ask to first see the business in operation, ìf they claim to have a tailor shop first go to the tailor shop ask the worker there to contact the owner to confirm you will work there.
You couldn't find a taxi because buses are cheap and available. You know that standing could be misinterpreted that you are a prostitute so walk around till your taxi arrives.
Stray cats near the entrance of restaurant means that restaurant is feeding them Customer left over.
Sewing? I thought she said "serving", as in bringing food to the table in a restaurant.
Awesome video 😄 I just posted my experience about this place too 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Oh awesome!
I lived in Dubai and worked in Dubai, but I never been to that neighborhood. How much their apartment for the year in US dollars for me. Thank you. Be safe. Take care.
I enjoyed my visit to Dubai
Another great video
It’s raining.... umbrellas up.😂😂😂😂
So True♥️
We were there, I got beautiful earrings. I knew where to go and not to go.
Abu Dhabi is the best place to live.
Dubai has its good and bad. That’s everywhere you go. The country itself it’s 💯 safe………..
Go to Africa and try their cuisine. You’re very lucky and blessed you live in Europe. Take trip to Nigeria slams, eye opening 😢
It pains you 😂
This LADY is not from AFRICA...
Hi watching from Australia. Does anyone know if she ok after posting this video? I got a bad feeling about this! And if you are ok please let us know.
I’m okay 🤍
That's not the worst part of Dubai. There are many videos of slums of Saudi Ariba on UA-cam.
Saudi Arabia is not in Dubai …
CAT. I love you videos because they're helpful.
She's beautiful
How good is the boxx thou boo 🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️
Dubai has trained people to allow themselves to be under surveillance 24/7 and believe it's called safety. Since when has a camera kept you safe? This world is truly f'ed.
What is the song at 3:59 ?
Do you need someone to travel with you? If so, I am interested in learning more to be able to move out of the US into a greater country. Are you a mentor? Can you teach me? Can you help me get sponsorship trips?
Is that Dubai looking like New York
As long as you’re breathing there is hope for salvation let’s Repent tomorrow is never promised.🙏🏾
Amen 🙏🏽.
11:33 never knew Dubai could look so walkable
True!
it is quite walkable in the older middle to low-class neighbourhoods, not so much in the newer areas tho
Disney world is my Dreams. ...booooy
Yea the markets are crazy. Its an experience but id be fine if i never went back. Cats are everywhere in the Middle East
What were they asking for in rent?
All I can say about what this lady brings out in this video is:
BRAVELY SPOKEN. 😶
Diera is AMAZING! It has all the culture and melting pot that the main city is lacking!
WOW! interesting
Those purse in that warehouse is the same materials as the ones sold in other stores so how are they fake?
Dubai class system?
Dubai has 5 or more classes of people ?
1- The ruling family + the other gulf states ruling families who live in Dubai.
2- The super rich of the world, including mafia and money launderers.
3- The citizens of UAE.
4- The servants.
A- High class servants.
B- Middle class servants.
C- Low class servants.
You are filming in the low class servants neighborhoods.
Thank you
Excellent video. I enjoyed it and I learned a bit about Dubai.
🥳DEF HIT 👍#2.8K🎉Thank you for the nitty gritty🎬But, I hope you have some mace hidden on your person💯
that is much cleaner at least, i have seen worst than that.
Gurl, i hope you are back on safe turf now. Whooosa!
Thanks for showing city.
I thought it was about portopotty, instagram model, cheap labor,
You can stay there for about 15k usd …. 🤔 with all the Americans going over there to take “selfies” these days I would sub lease and let them deal with the odor 😅
There's OLD DUBAI (Cultural Sector like DEIRA) and there's a new DUBAI, where you see those tall Buildings... Business Bay, Internet City, Hills...
And it's a good thing to keep the old Sector, to keep the culture and tradition going, and to me... i like that Old Dubai.
*I DON'T UNDERSTAND HER COMPLAIN 😂.*
That’s literally what the video is about &. I said that in the beginning of you actually watched before commenting
Awesome content TY.. on point easy to relate.. ty
Ms. Lady. You are beautiful ❤️
gorgeous
Welcome to africa Kenya
I thought you relocated
interesting,
I didn't realize you are Nigerian
She isn't Nigeria, she's a Nigerian.
So that apartment is roughly $1,250 USD a month ..? 🤔
you mean Dubai has a nether portal!?
Old Dubai is where’s it’s at.
Bitcoin is on its way to breaking records, getting closer to hitting new high prices, showing that it's gaining more value and could go even higher than we've seen before. This could mean great things for people looking to invest, suggesting now might be a good time to get involved before it jumps even higher. It's an exciting moment that could change the game in general...managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.1Blitcoin to a decent 11.4Biitcoin. At the heart of this evolution is Samantha Jack , whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment
Samantha's analyses go beyond surface-level trends. She delves into technical, fundamental, and sentiment analysis, providing a holistic view of the market..
I’m new at this, how can I reach her?
Samantha Jack's strategy has normalized winning trades for me and it's a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started.
gram with her username
Fxsamanthaj, that's it
That part of Dubai isn't for us or ex-pats :) not talking about the red light area but old Dubai in general, it's pretty old they haven't done much work on their infrastructure since then, they rapidly changed other infrastructure in other areas in old Dubai or new Dubai hence the rent is cheaper there more or less things aren't flashy or expensive there :) this country is lovely if you look into other aspects of it. And red light area or workers we don't talk much about it glad you showed but in Dubai we don't care.
I know, I live in Dubai in business bay. The video is about me exploring a new area :)
it's the same in all countries... tourists spot are different from local areas
AFRICAN LADY WHY U THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE ?
Lamide are you African? Black American? Caribbean? Black south american?
Naija
Why these pretty girls obsessed with Dubai?
I love you so much 🥶
Dubai - hahahahahaha yeah. Thats on the never gonna go there list.
There's someone impersonating you on tik tok. They sent me a DM. They have your videos on their page. Luckily I was suspicious
Thank you, please report as they always block me so I can’t see their profile
Afraid of Cats? 😂😂😂 Girllll
