im living here in dubai. and most of the salary here is not enough to afford a rent on those real estate. most people here are sharing low cost rental flats. those skyscrapers are half empty to be honest.
Yeah I often wondered about those office buildings. It was hard for me to believe that they were mostly full. Also wondered about the affordability. What is your line of work if I may ask. Are you white collar worker. If so then how in the world do blue collar workers survive there.
There is something you are missing about the Dubai property market, money laundering. The west has fairly strict rules for checking the source of your income, Dubai doesn't. If you have a few million in illicit cash that you want to clean up, you buy a property in Dubai, wait a couple of years, sell it to the next "investor" and then move your millions to London or New York who are perfectly happy to only do a one level check when you say you made millions investing in the Dubai property market. There is staggering amounts of money laundering going through the Dubai property market, replicating the "discreet" network of dodgy bankers & lawyers that Dubai has attracted over the last few decades will be more difficult than building a few skyscrapers.
In America, only the elites and politicians are allowed to launder money, and i am sure you are good with that because when you elite Anglo-Saxons stealing and cheat, it's ok. I guess that is why they call it Anglo-Saxons crimes (white collar crimes).
Complete truth, great for pointing out. Laundered and checked only once as to source or proof of funds. Afghan, Iranian and criminal crypto cash all swimming around without shame
Right on Point! This makes for a "cute" video, but barely scratches the surface. What really goes on in their underbelly makes the US Congress look like choir-boys
@@ashfaquekhan2276mostly Pakistani money. Around $150 billion. Slightly more advanced than the above. First announce a property development scheme. No real investment just paperwork (architect etc) and set up costs Then announce attractive price for this development Then say all units are sold offplan in 2 weeks. So now you're ready to launder the money. Because these plots or scheme on paper is going to go up tremendously, atleast 2x or 4x. So you now can launder 3x the money of the paper value (remember no cash actually spent yet) of the property development. That's how Pakistani military gets it's cash out and launders it via Dubai
I was in Dubai in winter, stayed on Jumeirah Palm for some days. On our side of palm, there were hotels and on the other side, right in front of us, private villas. The villas looked great and the beach in front of them was full of white, pretty sand, the sea was deep blue and clean. and guess what, not a single soul was in those villas. I didn't see a single light in those houses. It was clear, why, once I checked the prices: starting from 3-4 million dollars and more. Somehow is demand/supply stuff not working here, you have hundreds of luxury villas staying vacant but the prices are still record high.... all in all, it looked very artificial...
They were going for a “fairytale” kinda thing without really factoring in the reality that not everyone has THAT kind of money. If only there was a balance between affordable and straight up luxury.
Same like China throwing free money and printing Yuan like there is no tomorrow. People complain west is printing money, but China is printing much more and giving cheap loans to poor countries in order to trap them for China’s own economic benefit. They recently demolished many buildings fake cities no one live there.
Come one.. every country is artificial. USA was also built from nothing. Just a different time period. Last time i was staying at jumeriah saadiyat hotel and all the villas were rented out and the basic rooms where almost all booked out. The cheapest room went for 1000 USD / night… remember.. there is a low season and a high season…. Many Emirati expats travel for around 6 months as you don’t have to stay in the emirates for too long to maintain residency
i have friends doing blue collar jobs in Dubai. Workplace safety is very very poor and they are constantly threatened by their bosses (who are also from another third world country). Life down there in the lowest rung of society is very bad, and they mostly feel alienated looking at all those sky scrapers and fancy restaurants. Unwritten rules like blue collar is solely reserved for south asian workers exist there.
I'm sorry you or your friends had a poor experience as a blue collar worker in Dubai. However salary of average worker is 4 to 5 times that of their home counties plus accomodation and visa is paid by the company that employs them. Workers save and send billions of dollars collectively back to their home country. No one is forcing anyone.
@@Bharatagrawal2540 you are not getting the problem here. There are blue collar workers in all the developed worlds but why this is so pathetic at this part of the world? They send billions of dollars collectively but at what cost? Countries like UAE need them as much as they need a job. These countries need their health and young age and what happens when these people move to their 60s?
Without the healthy middle class, no country can survive. A country must produce something or provide some kind of service or have some source of real economic foundation, without that Dubai miracle won’t last.
This is what Europe is doing. Keeping 85% to 90% people in Middle class State by imposing taxes on taxes and portraying non eu countries as Dangerous Side Of World.😂
I just came back from Dubai where I have a lot of friends living and working. All of them have one goal and it is to make enough money to by home in there own countries and leave Dubai as soon as possible. Dubai not being able to make people feel at home will destroy it sooner than expected!!! I hope that changes and Dubai survives but who knows ...
Dubai is ONLY for local people, who were born there, others are working sources. It has been known long ago. You had zero chance to feel at home. So no surprise
I am from belgium, we have an apartment in spain also (marbella). If I would live in dubai, I would never wanna come back to belgium. It is like going from heaven to hell.
If 90 % of people there are foreign, either as labourer or investor or temp, I doubt many of them will want to stick around once the growth there recedes. In fact once it starts it will probably accelerate very fast. I know people who lived there, and always only considered being there temporarily, never permanent
they like young brainless employees here, who can fill in the needs for the country to be a tourist driven economy, nothing more, there is no human right here, just restless work
really? i am confused because my aunt took her family to live in dubai after working there as a medtech for a year. idk their reason, but after learning about dubai, wouldn’t that be a bad decision? they seem to be living well and safe.. perhaps they are one of the lucky ones..?
in short: the economic growth is based on Ponsi Scheme or Multi Level Marketing, as long as they can sell stuff and get money in, they can pay previous bills, but in the future when no one wants buy apartment as investment anymore, the system collapses. the town isnt really build for working class, that keep the society running, the city is not resilient or sustainable, everything from drinking water, vegetables, grain, meat need to be imported or very costly in small units produced. all these luxury sites and apartments are empty or hotels for tourists, taking space away from people who could actually live, work and invest there but greed will destroy it, along rising sea level, they can not do much against rising sea level and sand storms from the land side.
It`s basicly a place for money laundry for wealthy dictators, Russian/Chinese Oligarchs, Drug money. The place is fake, and has zero culture because to have " culture" you need regular people who settle down and create a life. This is also the reason why the city don`t go totaly bankrupt when there is a global crisis.
You’re forgetting about the jobs generated by your “empty buildings “ or “only for tourists hotels” I live here 13 y and I’ve lived in buildings and gone on weekend vacation to the tourist hotels - on top of giving me service these two industries generate long term jobs
There might be some remarkable similarity between Dubai and Masterworks. Both collect huge amounts of money, which some day will prove to be taken by a desert storm.
Only time will tell how Dubai will adapt in the post-American imperialism World. It’s completely unpredictable at this point but I think they will make it through the transition just fine.
@Piotr Majewski There is a big difference between the real estate problem in Dubai and the one in China. The bubble in China was deliberately popped by the government. But that isn't the case in Dubai. In China, property prices went ballistic. Prices were artificially being pushed up by investors who had no interest of ever moving in to the properties they bought. The huge profit property developers were getting from the investors in turn drove developers to build more. This vicious cycle created 'ghost cities' all over the place with investors buying properties that they have no interest in moving in. All this while the average mums and dads could no longer afford a property that they *DO* want to move in to. So enter the government. The CCP LITERALLY *FORCED* the prices in major cities to come down. The unfortunate side effect of these laws was the collapse of the real estate market in major cities. And in turn the high profile collapse of the 2nd largest property developer in the country. But for many of the mums and dads in China, that was a godsend. Literally a dream come true!! There are always more average mums and dads than property investors in any country. So there were A LOT MORE winners than losers. But this clearly ISN'T going to be the case for Dubai. There will be *NO* winners in that collapse.
Like all amusement parks, Dubai will lose its novelty. Dubai has foolishly poured its oil money into poor investments that are nothing but show pieces that are expensive to maintain and will lose their appeal after a few years. Instead of long term investments that will benefit Dubai and the world, they build extravagant projects that cannot provide a positive payback.
I invested in a hotel project in Dubai the money was stolen by uniestate through Standard Chartered Bank Do not invest in Dubai or Standard Chartered Bank
The artificial, Disney like culture does appeal to a certain kind of individual. But once you are there for sometime, it wears on you, especially if this is your year round residence and don't have homes in other countries. It's great for a class of individual who is wealthy enough to leave, when necessary. The culture of a city creates a vibe that takes multiple generations to achieve. Dubai is the definition of new money. It's a fascinating test city, only time will tell if this is sustainable.
Dubai's only hope is to stop enforcing Islamic laws to attract rich people from other Muslim countries. This will for these other countries to do the same. The problem is that will anger the fundamentalists and then revolutions and civil wars will breakout and drive all foreigners out.
Any country solely dependent on tourism is going to suffer with people traveling a lot less these days. Rent is too expensive in Dubai for investors. There are current projects in Dubai that are sitting unfinished and with no new investment.
Ah, you are aware that DXB - the Dubai Airport - is operating at capacity. Planes mostly full. And a lot of people move here - and the rents are not that high compared to certain other cities (Paris, London, Monaco).
A smart thing would be for them to keep the tax free environment despite economical challenges. As soon as they start levying taxes, they will chase ppl away, they will have a crash in real estate and basically accelerate their way down.
Doing business in Dubai is becoming difficult because of licence fees, labour fees and rent is becoming costly day by day . I own a shop in Bur Dubai There is no demand. My business is not doing well.😢
I don't understand how people are living paycheck-to-paycheck with 100k because when I was making that kind of money I didn't have car leases, house leases or credit card debt. I saved up money and paid in full for everything. Hell I'm still driving a used Nissan Xterra I bought for 5k with cash. I live by the beach in Florida btw. I could quit my job now and work at a convenient store and still be okay.
Rent $3-4k , fuel $4, food groceries everything is higher here stuck here in major cities because jobs are here… that’s why we all retire by you. Forget if you have kids to feed.
Brother you don’t need to believe anything you saw in internet i am living in Malaysia ask me rather to ask an outsider, Dubai economy is flourishing they can’t see any Muslim city to be developed this is all propaganda
There is no such thing as conservatives or liberals in Malaysia. As far as policies are concerned, the Malaysian economic system from all parties is conservative by western standards. All parties want more investments for job creation, building more housing to meet demands, etc. Socialism doesn't exist in any party in Malaysia.
clearly u dont have any knowledge about economy.. questionable policies? like what ? our export biggest are E&E industry make up 40% of GDP they were growing 18fold within 20years.. thats remarkable.. our oil and gas export only about 14% of GPD.. we have 'NET' export around 22.3 billion ringgit 2022, total around 130billion ringgit.. not only that we have export the best Islamic banking to the world and no1 islamic banking..
Naomi Dean stands out from other brokers because of her realistic approach, unlike those who often set unattainable targets and fail to deliver. She's truly unique!
Another important point...these countries fight to offer services, which may no longer be needed in this region, when demand for oil will decrease significantly.
Correct. On the airport you see african families with huge bags, complete with washing machine and tv set and other stuff. Apparently, it is cheaper to go to Dubai and buy stuff there than to buy it locally, in Africa.
Yes but even that will face competition. Big ports are being built in Oman and Saudi Arabia to compete with Dubai and Jebel Ali ports. Even Abu Dhabi built a big port. KSA's ports on the Red Sea and Oman's ports on the Arabian Sea have better locations than Dubai for trans shipping. Docking in Dubai requires taking a detour and passing through the straight of Hormuz. Dubai's advantage is that their port is efficiently operated and has straightforward bureaucratic processes. Saudi ports on the other hand have a reputation for poor operations and frequent delays. But if they can solve this then their advantageous location will come into play.
A ferrari is just like a pair of jeans. You dont invest in cars unless you sell them. Cars are like a shirt its not wealth its just nice ride. Like first class in a plane you dont invest in first class its something you can afford but the poor just look to buy thats why you will stay poor
@@ollienilson1644Not an independent country, but technically a country anyway since it and the other emirates have their own Sheikh and governing bodies. As far as internal affairs go, it is pretty independent. The federal government dictates external policy but it doesn't touch the laws and developmental direction within the borders of individual emirates. Just like how Scotland is a country within the larger country of the UK, the Emirate of Dubai is a country within the Federation of the UAE.
Dabai is like the center of Middle East and Singapore is like the center of South East Asia. Both cities are good at management, marketing and finance.
Singapore wasn't a center of Southeast Asia. Every nation in Asean were independent and have their own centre! Singapore is the one who interdependent with neighborhood nations.
Dubai needs to change its policy for grant of citizenship and focus on education, IT and Industry. Its financial sector and tourism is already doing well.
Every economic power tends to come down in time. Dubai is not just facing internal (*Abu Dhabi and Sharjah) competition but also from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and soon Yemen. Too big a vision and artificial ambitions have consequences and will see in the coming month/year.
but its different now, salaries in dubai when it was found used to be 1 million dollars per year and kept devreasing until 500k a year if you only worked at a restaurant you'd make 300k$ a year, UAE did not manage there richness at the time very well to the point the salaries now are the monthly rent, whivh is very scary
Even though the Dubai isn't that "shiny city" it once was, it's still not going anywhere. I don't see any neighboring countries taking its place, no matter what sort of vision they put out. Dubai itself is known for putting out crazy visions, only for them to disappear. It is much more volatile in other areas. You can notice how things are getting more serious, everything is getting more expensive, there are charging you for everything, they are slowly introducing VAT on everything, crazy amount of empty buildings, etc.
A classic case of walking before learning how to crawl. A city that shouldn't be where it is, no arable land nothing of value. Dubai doesn't even have proper infrastructure like a sewer system. No future for you.
I used to fly through Dubai in the early 1980's and it was almost nothing. Only about 3 or 4 good hotels. As recently as the late 1990's, Dubai was still next to nothing. I stayed on Jumeriah Beach facing the Burj Al Arab in March 1996. The beachfront area where Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach Hotel are located was previously called Chicago Beach. In 1996 I stayed at the old Chicago Beach Hotel, which was actually quite nice, despite its corny name. Sheihk Zaheed Road was almost non existent. It was a two lane Road with little on it. The Burj Al Arab was not finished until the end of 1999. The Burj Khalifa was only completed about 2014/5. It is all very recent. I do like Dubai, but I think it is over-built now. When you fly into Dubai, it is often shrouded in smog which was never the case before all this development. It is a pity.
I lived in Dubai in 1989.. it was the best moment in my life as a kid fleeing civil war in Lebanon at that time. Do you know the neighborhood close to Automatic restaurant?
Well, one thing is for sure. You can't find a place quite like Dubai in this region of billions of people. Not in India, not in Iran, not in any Arab countries, even Gulf countries. A place that is A--Crime free B--Clean and convenient C--Extremely centrally located D--Stable politically and for investors (ask any Iraqi, Egyptian, Lebanese) E--A great base for locating business. So that by itself is a huge selling point. And if Dubai decides to give some kind of permanent residency to people who buy real estate, then the real estate sector will definitely go up. And Dubai has the support of Abu Dhabi which has a huge wealth fund (as does Dubai to a lesser extent).
Most of West Europe would fit that part. Media tends to overblow and protests during the Policy Burreacracy by the legislature; most of a city is always peaceful and calm except the pockets of localities where the protests take place.
@@amberjha5974 You don't know the definition of safe if you really provide Western Europe as an example. WE is riddled with petty crime, in fact, it's way less safe than Eastern Europe, whereas crime is basically nonexistent in Dubai, you have to experience it to understand it. UAE and Singapore are in a league of their own in terms of providing a safe environment. Hence it comes as no surprise that UAE is #1 in the world in the last 2 years in terms of attracting high net worth individuals, whereas Western European counties are losing theirs to immigration.

Diversification is a good thing, but industries like banking, construction, real estate, and tourism won't provide any security during economic downturns. Wouldn't they be especially vulnerable? Maybe some forays into manufacturing would help.
@Joanne "Diversification is a good thing, but industries like banking, construction, real estate, and tourism won't provide any security during economic downturns.

Emiratis are not going to work in a factory. The foreign workers are going to be doing that work. Why import then to do that when the India/Pakistani/Pilipino/ etc, can do low wage manufacturing at home.
Seems like Dubai's economic clout is could start to lose quite fast. More competitors in the region coming in could force the UAE to be competitive eventually.
What country's economy are not in deep trouble???? Look at europe, big drama everywhere... I am from belgium, we have huge taxes but still our country has an extremely high debt. IF the economy is in deep trouble, why are so many investments being done???????????? Isn't this just another dubai bashing video??? Maybe bash some countries in europe??? I just came back from dubai, I would love living there... It is safe, no or low taxes, extremely clean, safe and cheap and clean public transport, public toilets everywhere, amazing lifestyle, amazing real estate, the best hotels, friendly people everywhere, amazing service, nice weather (well in summer too hot)... You don't have all those things in belgium. Dubai is nice if you have money. I know some people that are living in dubai and they are loving it.
This is true, but the UAE has considered it, they must have a strategy to overcome it. There are also many foreign countries who have no world resources but still develop, for example, Singapore is still successful.
Singapore has a highly educated population that are willing to work hard. The citizens of Dubai don’t do any work. Most of the work is done for them by foreigners. It is not highly educated or technically competent population. That’s the main difference between Singapore and Dubai
It's unlikely dubai will lose out to other Middle Eastern countries as most of them have extreme religious belief. Most would be scared to travel to places with extreme beliefs
Dubai is not rich. Dubai’s GDP is a little lower than Boston metropolitan area’s GDP, and more considerably lower than Houston’s metropolitan GDP. Also Dubai’s population of 3.33M people is about a million higher than Houston’s population of 2.2M and about 2.6M more than Boston’s population of 600k. Turns out money can go along way when they aren’t overspent on unnecessary programs.
It's very unfortunate that Dubai was built so suburban and designed around cars. I hope future developments will be centered around people instead of cars.

I'm not very knowledgeable in investing, so I just have my investing currently in index funds mainly Too but have been putting a lot into Schd the past few months.

what's funny about this is that I get dubai real estate ads in my homecountry for houses starting from 250.000 usd, when I go to italy I get houses that start from 400.000 usd and in germany it seems I get same adds but with prices starting from 600.000. it seems the ads are targeted in relation to the wealth of the location you are in at the moment, while in reality those houses are sold to whoever is dumb enough to move in desert.
I've lived in the UAE. They're problem is two fold. This area of the world has a long history of slavery. If you're not an Emirate, you're a slave. Secondly, it's a Muslim country with the associated laws. Yes, you can drink, but it's not going to be having a glass of wine at a sea view terrace or cafe, it's going to be in a dark club, probably in a basement. And don't get caught walking on the street after you've been drinking. You won't be walking home, no matter how close home is. You'll be taking a taxi to avoid problems. Also, women can't own property. As an expat, a couple could buy a property. And if the husband dies, the property goes to his nearest male relative. This could be the couple's teenage son, or his father or brothers. Imagine the problems if the son or in laws decide to sell off the property, leaving the wife who has paid for the property high and dry.
What? Since when can't women own property? Are you talking about Saudi or Dubai here? Lol.. women in dubai can own property FYI. You're also wrong about drinking. I don't know if you're talking about the version of Dubai 15 years ago, but things have changed, buddy.

Dubai is full of hot air like the desert it's built on. Indeed, the entire Middle East is that way (thousands of years of living in a scarce desert makes them that way). During the hype, it appears awesome, but because there is no substance, it eventually collapses.
Dubai was rich from tourist. Problem was it got very boring very fast. Once you are awed by the buildings and shopping centres it’s over very quickly. You never feel the urge to return. Places like Thailand has culture and fantastic food that tourists want to return again and again.
Inevitably Dubai will weaken as time goes by. Tourism is getting very competitive and other businesses they going they face stiff competition. Miracles don't last long.
They must keep moving forward. Most of what we have today came as firsts from the middle east/Africa/Asia. Study the countries around the Mediterranean sea. Major destruction=major rebuilding. Expecting to see major innovation coming from that area of the world.
And KSA is desperate to replace UAE in the GCC. Most multinational companies have HQ in UAE as no expats want to live in KSA so they commute. Today, if you want to do business in KSA you need to set up your office there.

Maybe they will have to bring in 5% income tax ? The only country comparable to Dubai in terms of liberal rules is Bahrain. I don’t buy into Qatar , Abu Dhabi and KSA being competitive to what Dubai has to offer . Good vid , thanks.
Bahrain is far more libral and modern and tolerant than any other middle eastern country, in Dubai there are different laws for immigrants and citizens, the Dubai Gov sees us as immigrants who are here temporarily and we contribute to their economy so they tend to ignore our actions like drinking, pre marital sex, short clothes etc. Because they know they we are not a part of that country. Unlike Bahrain which has a monarchy like the British where there is a proper government they have LGBTQ rights(this should tell you how libral they are), although the Bahrain monarchy holds more power than the British monarchy but they are by far the most libral in country in the gulf. Can't compare UAE and Bahrain.
They should have built good housing for the middle class and poor, foreign workers. Any oil-built cities that cater only to the wealthy will end up failing when there's no alternative structure besides oil money, to maintain it. This is where city planning is so important.
Cheaper to live than Southern Cities in England and major cities in USA. Money goes alot further in Dubai if you know how to spend it. Live a far better life in Dubai than Liverpool, UK For the same money
Money goes a lot farther everywhere if you know how to spend it. A big problem in the West is that people don't know how to spend it. They consider makeup, false eyelashes, new cars, and large houses as needs rather than wants.
Man, Dubai's realest market has been growing rapidly, last year alone witnessed 76% of growth. Iam pretty dam sure lots western people are relocating to dubai because its a tax heaven. The propaganda against dubai is not new. We can see it from last two decades. But they are still keep growing no matter what.
Interesting Video; Investment risk may be reduced in the present economic climate by: First and foremost, you should consider maintaining asset diversification across a wide range of asset categories in a way that is commensurate with the level of the personal risks you are willing to assume, the amount of time you are willing to wait, and the specifics of your financial objective. Diversification is a tactic that might help you control your investment risk, so keep that in mind. The risk of losing money due to falling security prices is unavoidable. Because it can be challenging to make investments. Working with a financial adviser may be useful if you're just starting out on the road to building wealth, since they can provide expert guidance and advice. This Is What I See!

Look at the instability of the Region, most of Africa, and elsewhere. Dubai's a logical benefactor and destination. For the same reasons Miami, London, New York, L.A., and Sydney are so popular with the Global Rich.

It's very true that UAE and Dubai in particular are facing some economical issues regarding their "backbone" tourism and real state industries, but the government is continuously changing the laws, like the introduction of Golden and Green long term visas, more softer ways to purchase a property while still living outside the UAE etc. And is also booming it's I.T and finance industry heavily. Lastly, being born and raised in Dubai, it's much more stable, secure and safer than ever before.

Europeans and Americans. Who are mostly the pilots? Europeans and Americans. Who supplies goods and services to those skyscrapers? Europeans and Americans. Who owns the banks? Again, Europeans and Americans and Asians. So the white Europeans and Americans have built a satellite state far from their shores with added benefit of cheap labor, low risk, and great rewards. So next time don’t be too proud of the Arabs.

What are the sources for what you are saying about the laws being loosened to attract western banks. And where do you find information about the money transfers from Beirut to Dubai. Im writing a assignment about this so please help
All the properties are sold out, major buyers Russian. Dubai has impletmented Corporate Tax and soon there focus would move from oil. You should do more research before the video. Above all the local in Dubai are quit welcoming for expat I am not sure how it is in other country. The new golden visa has attract lot of people around the world.
The country has good thinking leaders who are dynamic. They have zero crime problems, very peaceful and safe. There is no country that renders so much joy and like Dubai. They can switch to level up no matter the economic challenge they are confronted with. The only problem I have is their salary structure for workers is not enough to save for a good future.
I think Beirut can take the position for rich & famous back if there is peace in Lebanon. The weather, food & nature is better. And its in a country with real history that is something Dubai is missing "a soul". But Dubai could be the new Switserland to hide your money.
Complicated ethnicity structure there, Dubai has edge that the Emiratis are ethnically more homogen, nobody wants to invest where a civil war can break out any time,
Hi, I know this is out of the topic but, does someone know what type of video or what is this style or what is this photography called that's shown in 6:11 to 6:18? thank you very much, it's gonna help me a lot :))
From the video and the well informed comments of those with direct experience of Dubai, it seems only a matter of time before it fails. Either way I would never live there, visit or invest any money.
U sure about that? Dubai is taking advantage of conflicts and disasters, because they are currently a bastion of stability. They didn't lock down or go crazy over covid rules, but instead implemented scientifically sound measures that attracted expats and tourists. With the Russia-Ukraine war, they've not stigmatized Russians and are instead welcoming them (which makes sense, since most Russians fleeing Russia don't support the war). I think they will navigate this conflict-ridden century in such a way that makes them successful.
Welcoming cowards fleeing their country rather than taking Putin out & standing by their motherland, and you equate that to great supply to be welcomed in!?! They are no different than economic opportunists /foreign migrants, something most native populous do not need nor want and if they were cream of the crop they'd be fixing their own country. I'm certainly no expert about Dubai, but it sounds like a similar opportunistic mentality to these winners you describe from Russia, that never ends well, everyone using everyone eventually goes South or blows up on all involved.
I believe the stability of dubai in a world of chaos, dubai will continue to thrive. I also live in dubai since a while. Despite many real estate available, rents keep on jumping because people are stil comin here from all over Europe and russia escaping the uncertainty of that region
you will remember my words soon enough.......dbai gonna be a shinny coffin for the vast majority pretty soon..........money will not be able to buy food ,nor water,because food and water gonna be so scarse...........they all gonna try to escape the shinny glass jungle ,its gonna be too late.
Abu Dhabi has the money, while Dubai appears to have it. who bailed out who? $10 billion in 2009. Remember, Dubai is not a country. The United Arab of Emirates is. Dubai is impressive, but the average Emirati is worth $7 million in Abu Dhabi. AD and Dubai are different economies with unique, different goals.
Its one of the best airliners in the world bro. U Dont travel much internationally probably. American Airlines dont even offer HALF the amount of international flights qatar air does.
Dubai is probably nice to visit once but I can never live there. It’s all buildings and sand which feels very oppressive to me, not to mention the heat. I need green vegetation and fresh water around me to feel happy.
This video is totally biased. The west hates on Dubai for having all the success without the discraceful societal failure. As a matter of fact, the UAE's economy is more diverse and advanced than alot of these western countries. The tech sector alone provides for more than 10% of total GDP, more than Canada! But whats more impressive is the rate at which they are progressing it is remarkably fast. PS: The UAE is a country, Dubai is just the biggest city in it, so using it as a benchmark is the same as using new york for the USA
im living here in dubai. and most of the salary here is not enough to afford a rent on those real estate. most people here are sharing low cost rental flats. those skyscrapers are half empty to be honest.
Wow.
Just returned from Dubai and I was soooooo amazed. But people I ran into that work and live there said it was unaffordable for.most.
Yeah I often wondered about those office buildings. It was hard for me to believe that they were mostly full. Also wondered about the affordability. What is your line of work if I may ask. Are you white collar worker. If so then how in the world do blue collar workers survive there.
Really? My friend said everything is good there and want to send her son there to work because salary is high
@@lyhs0219 I get two different stories. It's either a horrible place for workers or a wonderful place for workers. WTF!
There is something you are missing about the Dubai property market, money laundering.
The west has fairly strict rules for checking the source of your income, Dubai doesn't.
If you have a few million in illicit cash that you want to clean up, you buy a property in Dubai, wait a couple of years, sell it to the next "investor" and then move your millions to London or New York who are perfectly happy to only do a one level check when you say you made millions investing in the Dubai property market.
There is staggering amounts of money laundering going through the Dubai property market, replicating the "discreet" network of dodgy bankers & lawyers that Dubai has attracted over the last few decades will be more difficult than building a few skyscrapers.
It’s the money cleaning capital of the world right now. All the illicit money leaving Russia and China.
Their bubble needs to POP.
In America, only the elites and politicians are allowed to launder money, and i am sure you are good with that because when you elite Anglo-Saxons stealing and cheat, it's ok. I guess that is why they call it Anglo-Saxons crimes (white collar crimes).
Complete truth, great for pointing out. Laundered and checked only once as to source or proof of funds. Afghan, Iranian and criminal crypto cash all swimming around without shame
Right on Point! This makes for a "cute" video, but barely scratches the surface.
What really goes on in their underbelly makes the US Congress look like choir-boys
@@ashfaquekhan2276mostly Pakistani money. Around $150 billion.
Slightly more advanced than the above.
First announce a property development scheme. No real investment just paperwork (architect etc) and set up costs
Then announce attractive price for this development
Then say all units are sold offplan in 2 weeks.
So now you're ready to launder the money. Because these plots or scheme on paper is going to go up tremendously, atleast 2x or 4x.
So you now can launder 3x the money of the paper value (remember no cash actually spent yet) of the property development.
That's how Pakistani military gets it's cash out and launders it via Dubai
I was in Dubai in winter, stayed on Jumeirah Palm for some days. On our side of palm, there were hotels and on the other side, right in front of us, private villas. The villas looked great and the beach in front of them was full of white, pretty sand, the sea was deep blue and clean. and guess what, not a single soul was in those villas. I didn't see a single light in those houses. It was clear, why, once I checked the prices: starting from 3-4 million dollars and more. Somehow is demand/supply stuff not working here, you have hundreds of luxury villas staying vacant but the prices are still record high.... all in all, it looked very artificial...
They were going for a “fairytale” kinda thing without really factoring in the reality that not everyone has THAT kind of money. If only there was a balance between affordable and straight up luxury.
You said it all in one word in the end - all "artificial"!
Yes, but there arent that many „oil rich arabs“.
Same like China throwing free money and printing Yuan like there is no tomorrow. People complain west is printing money, but China is printing much more and giving cheap loans to poor countries in order to trap them for China’s own economic benefit. They recently demolished many buildings fake cities no one live there.
Come one.. every country is artificial. USA was also built from nothing. Just a different time period. Last time i was staying at jumeriah saadiyat hotel and all the villas were rented out and the basic rooms where almost all booked out. The cheapest room went for 1000 USD / night… remember.. there is a low season and a high season…. Many Emirati expats travel for around 6 months as you don’t have to stay in the emirates for too long to maintain residency

i have friends doing blue collar jobs in Dubai. Workplace safety is very very poor and they are constantly threatened by their bosses (who are also from another third world country). Life down there in the lowest rung of society is very bad, and they mostly feel alienated looking at all those sky scrapers and fancy restaurants. Unwritten rules like blue collar is solely reserved for south asian workers exist there.
And they stay because life at home is WORSE.
@@ThomasTomiczek because of foreign remittance, govts at home also wants a proportion of people working at these countries.
I'm sorry you or your friends had a poor experience as a blue collar worker in Dubai. However salary of average worker is 4 to 5 times that of their home counties plus accomodation and visa is paid by the company that employs them. Workers save and send billions of dollars collectively back to their home country. No one is forcing anyone.
@@Bharatagrawal2540 you are not getting the problem here. There are blue collar workers in all the developed worlds but why this is so pathetic at this part of the world?

These countries need their health and young age and what happens when these people move to their 60s?

Without the healthy middle class, no country can survive. A country must produce something or provide some kind of service or have some source of real economic foundation, without that Dubai miracle won’t last.

I just came back from Dubai where I have a lot of friends living and working. All of them have one goal and it is to make enough money to by home in there own countries and leave Dubai as soon as possible. Dubai not being able to make people feel at home will destroy it sooner than expected!!! I hope that changes and Dubai survives but who knows ...
Dubai is ONLY for local people, who were born there, others are working sources. It has been known long ago. You had zero chance to feel at home. So no surprise

If 90 % of people there are foreign, either as labourer or investor or temp, I doubt many of them will want to stick around once the growth there recedes. In fact once it starts it will probably accelerate very fast. I know people who lived there, and always only considered being there temporarily, never permanent
Soon dubai will be abandoned
It’s too bad they never offered citizenship to foreigners. They would’ve stayed in the hard times.
they like young brainless employees here, who can fill in the needs for the country to be a tourist driven economy, nothing more, there is no human right here, just restless work

@@intergalacticmarushe probably sold her body
in short: the economic growth is based on Ponsi Scheme or Multi Level Marketing, as long as they can sell stuff and get money in, they can pay previous bills, but in the future when no one wants buy apartment as investment anymore, the system collapses. the town isnt really build for working class, that keep the society running, the city is not resilient or sustainable, everything from drinking water, vegetables, grain, meat need to be imported or very costly in small units produced. all these luxury sites and apartments are empty or hotels for tourists, taking space away from people who could actually live, work and invest there but greed will destroy it, along rising sea level, they can not do much against rising sea level and sand storms from the land side.
That's the most relevant comment so far in my opinion despite looking rather grim
That's how economies built on tourism work, or don't work, as is so often the case.
It`s basicly a place for money laundry for wealthy dictators, Russian/Chinese Oligarchs, Drug money. The place is fake, and has zero culture because to have " culture" you need regular people who settle down and create a life. This is also the reason why the city don`t go totaly bankrupt when there is a global crisis.
They hate Christians
They persecute Asians and Africans who work in their country .......10
You’re forgetting about the jobs generated by your “empty buildings “ or “only for tourists hotels” I live here 13 y and I’ve lived in buildings and gone on weekend vacation to the tourist hotels - on top of giving me service these two industries generate long term jobs
There might be some remarkable similarity between Dubai and Masterworks. Both collect huge amounts of money, which some day will prove to be taken by a desert storm.
Yeah, It grew for decades, just like China real estate market. Bubble always pops at some point.
Only time will tell how Dubai will adapt in the post-American imperialism World. It’s completely unpredictable at this point but I think they will make it through the transition just fine.
they will start taxing income tax & corporation tax
@Piotr Majewski There is a big difference between the real estate problem in Dubai and the one in China.
The bubble in China was deliberately popped by the government. But that isn't the case in Dubai.
In China, property prices went ballistic. Prices were artificially being pushed up by investors who had no interest of ever moving in to the properties they bought.
The huge profit property developers were getting from the investors in turn drove developers to build more.
This vicious cycle created 'ghost cities' all over the place with investors buying properties that they have no interest in moving in.
All this while the average mums and dads could no longer afford a property that they *DO* want to move in to.
So enter the government. The CCP LITERALLY *FORCED* the prices in major cities to come down.
The unfortunate side effect of these laws was the collapse of the real estate market in major cities. And in turn the high profile collapse of the 2nd largest property developer in the country.
But for many of the mums and dads in China, that was a godsend. Literally a dream come true!!
There are always more average mums and dads than property investors in any country. So there were A LOT MORE winners than losers.
But this clearly ISN'T going to be the case for Dubai. There will be *NO* winners in that collapse.
@@ChinaSongsCollection Thanks for nuanced comment. Its hard to find those this social media era.
Like all amusement parks, Dubai will lose its novelty. Dubai has foolishly poured its oil money into poor investments that are nothing but show pieces that are expensive to maintain and will lose their appeal after a few years.
Instead of long term investments that will benefit Dubai and the world, they build extravagant projects that cannot provide a positive payback.

There is no such thing as conservatives or liberals in Malaysia. As far as policies are concerned, the Malaysian economic system from all parties is conservative by western standards.

Investing can be complex, so it's smart to get professional guidance when building your financial portfolio.
It's a great idea to have a conversation with financial advisors like Naomi Dean to reshape your portfolio.
I spread out my $25k portfolio across various markets to diversify my investments.

Naomi Dean stands out from other brokers because of her realistic approach, unlike those who often set unattainable targets and fail to deliver. She's truly unique!
Another important point...these countries fight to offer services, which may no longer be needed in this region, when demand for oil will decrease significantly.
The video is not mentioning Logistics, it is an important part of the UAE economy, eg 40% of all import in East Africa pass via Dubai.
Correct. On the airport you see african families with huge bags, complete with washing machine and tv set and other stuff. Apparently, it is cheaper to go to Dubai and buy stuff there than to buy it locally, in Africa.

Yes but even that will face competition.
Big ports are being built in Oman and Saudi Arabia to compete with Dubai and Jebel Ali ports.
Even Abu Dhabi built a big port.
KSA's ports on the Red Sea and Oman's ports on the Arabian Sea have better locations than Dubai for trans shipping. Docking in Dubai requires taking a detour and passing through the straight of Hormuz.
Dubai's advantage is that their port is efficiently operated and has straightforward bureaucratic processes.
Saudi ports on the other hand have a reputation for poor operations and frequent delays. But if they can solve this then their advantageous location will come into play.
Not just East Africa, Middle Eastern and Gulf countries, north Africa and other régions. It is a regional hub.

I used to fly through Dubai in the early 1980's and it was almost nothing. Only about 3 or 4 good hotels. As recently as the late 1990's, Dubai was still next to nothing. I stayed on Jumeriah Beach facing the Burj Al Arab in March 1996. The beachfront area where Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach Hotel are located was previously called Chicago Beach. In 1996 I stayed at the old Chicago Beach Hotel, which was actually quite nice, despite its corny name. Sheihk Zaheed Road was almost non existent. It was a two lane Road with little on it. The Burj Al Arab was not finished until the end of 1999. The Burj Khalifa was only completed about 2014/5. It is all very recent. I do like Dubai, but I think it is over-built now. When you fly into Dubai, it is often shrouded in smog which was never the case before all this development. It is a pity.
I lived in Dubai in 1989.. it was the best moment in my life as a kid fleeing civil war in Lebanon at that time. Do you know the neighborhood close to Automatic restaurant?
Well, one thing is for sure. You can't find a place quite like Dubai in this region of billions of people. Not in India, not in Iran, not in any Arab countries, even Gulf countries. A place that is A--Crime free B--Clean and convenient C--Extremely centrally located D--Stable politically and for investors (ask any Iraqi, Egyptian, Lebanese) E--A great base for locating business. So that by itself is a huge selling point. And if Dubai decides to give some kind of permanent residency to people who buy real estate, then the real estate sector will definitely go up. And Dubai has the support of Abu Dhabi which has a huge wealth fund (as does Dubai to a lesser extent).
Most of West Europe would fit that part. Media tends to overblow and protests during the Policy Burreacracy by the legislature; most of a city is always peaceful and calm except the pockets of localities where the protests take place.
Fully agree with you
UAE does have golden visa or permanent residency for real estate investor.
@@amberjha5974 You don't know the definition of safe if you really provide Western Europe as an example.

UAE and Singapore are in a league of their own in terms of providing a safe environment.
Hence it comes as no surprise that UAE is #1 in the world in the last 2 years in terms of attracting high net worth individuals, whereas Western European counties are losing theirs to immigration.

You're the first person that I've seen what I think, Dubai replaced Beirut! Kudos.
Diversification is a good thing, but industries like banking, construction, real estate, and tourism won't provide any security during economic downturns. Wouldn't they be especially vulnerable? Maybe some forays into manufacturing would help.
@A B Oil is less than 1% of Dubai's GDP, natural resources in general - less than 2.5%.

"Diversification is a good thing, but industries like banking, construction, real estate, and tourism won't provide any security during economic downturns. Wouldn't they be especially vulnerable? Maybe some forays into manufacturing would help."
DOnt know about that, Singapore seems to be doing fine...
Emiratis are not going to work in a factory. The foreign workers are going to be doing that work. Why import then to do that when the India/Pakistani/Pilipino/ etc, can do low wage manufacturing at home.
Rich are going to work in manufacturing 😢
Forays you say? Tally-ho!
Seems like Dubai's economic clout is could start to lose quite fast. More competitors in the region coming in could force the UAE to be competitive eventually.
What country's economy are not in deep trouble???? Look at europe, big drama everywhere... I am from belgium, we have huge taxes but still our country has an extremely high debt. IF the economy is in deep trouble, why are so many investments being done???????????? Isn't this just another dubai bashing video??? Maybe bash some countries in europe??? I just came back from dubai, I would love living there... It is safe, no or low taxes, extremely clean, safe and cheap and clean public transport, public toilets everywhere, amazing lifestyle, amazing real estate, the best hotels, friendly people everywhere, amazing service, nice weather (well in summer too hot)... You don't have all those things in belgium. Dubai is nice if you have money. I know some people that are living in dubai and they are loving it.
This is true, but the UAE has considered it, they must have a strategy to overcome it. There are also many foreign countries who have no world resources but still develop, for example, Singapore is still successful.
Singapore 🇸🇬 is hot 🔥 all the time ⏲️ but Dubai is getting the colder winters than Singapore 🇸🇬.
Singapore has a highly educated population that are willing to work hard. The citizens of Dubai don’t do any work. Most of the work is done for them by foreigners. It is not highly educated or technically competent population. That’s the main difference between Singapore and Dubai
It's unlikely dubai will lose out to other Middle Eastern countries as most of them have extreme religious belief. Most would be scared to travel to places with extreme beliefs
Saudi is trying to change that with there new cities. MBS's has arrested religious leaders who want to chase away foreigners from investing.
Dubai is not rich.
Dubai’s GDP is a little lower than Boston metropolitan area’s GDP, and more considerably lower than Houston’s metropolitan GDP. Also Dubai’s population of 3.33M people is about a million higher than Houston’s population of 2.2M and about 2.6M more than Boston’s population of 600k.
Turns out money can go along way when they aren’t overspent on unnecessary programs.
They hate Christians
They persecute Asians and Africans who work in their country
As I see, Dubai wasn't build for people. So to change it to comfortable place where to live, it will be quite hard.
disagree they’re like 50% and they will achieve 100% before 2030
It's very unfortunate that Dubai was built so suburban and designed around cars. I hope future developments will be centered around people instead of cars.
They hate Christians

Impressive video. I started a bit late (graduated from my doctorate program at age 30 in 2014 with 170k in school loan debt). Managed to pay off my debt by 2019 and currently have a house and 250k total in investments (combo of profit share, 401k and a brokerage account). I'm not very knowledgeable in investing, so I just have my investing currently in index funds mainly Too but have been putting a lot into Schd the past few months. I don’t know if that's the optimal strategy, but psychologically it is very set it and forget it, and prevents me from obsessing over individual stock performance.
Keeping some gold is usually a wise decision. You would be better off keeping away from equities for a bit or, even better, seeking advice from an expert given the current market conditions and everything that is at risk with the current economy.

They don't t produce anything. Never saw a brand Made in UAE
bc they dont have anything in uae
They produced a lot of Oil.
صدقني وجت منتجات كثيرة في أروبا صنع الإمارات. 😊
You don't see it. You burn it.
UAE produces aeroplane parts and supplies Boeing and Airbus. Google strata. What kind of brand are you looking for? Leather goods? Google Ebl. Leather goods made from camel leather or camelicious which distributes internationally camel milk drinks. These are just a few of many produced in UAE.
what's funny about this is that I get dubai real estate ads in my homecountry for houses starting from 250.000 usd, when I go to italy I get houses that start from 400.000 usd and in germany it seems I get same adds but with prices starting from 600.000. it seems the ads are targeted in relation to the wealth of the location you are in at the moment, while in reality those houses are sold to whoever is dumb enough to move in desert.
I've lived in the UAE. They're problem is two fold. This area of the world has a long history of slavery. If you're not an Emirate, you're a slave. Secondly, it's a Muslim country with the associated laws. Yes, you can drink, but it's not going to be having a glass of wine at a sea view terrace or cafe, it's going to be in a dark club, probably in a basement. And don't get caught walking on the street after you've been drinking. You won't be walking home, no matter how close home is. You'll be taking a taxi to avoid problems. Also, women can't own property. As an expat, a couple could buy a property. And if the husband dies, the property goes to his nearest male relative. This could be the couple's teenage son, or his father or brothers. Imagine the problems if the son or in laws decide to sell off the property, leaving the wife who has paid for the property high and dry.
What? Since when can't women own property? Are you talking about Saudi or Dubai here? Lol.. women in dubai can own property FYI.
You're also wrong about drinking. I don't know if you're talking about the version of Dubai 15 years ago, but things have changed, buddy.
@@jossilnazareth4402Women can own property in Saudi Arabia in their own name. They have had that right since the advent of Islam 1400 years ago. The original poster is a prejudiced ignoramus.

Dubai is full of hot air like the desert it's built on.
Indeed, the entire Middle East is that way (thousands of years of living in a scarce desert makes them that way).
During the hype, it appears awesome, but because there is no substance, it eventually collapses.
Unfortunately I agree ... despite the fact that I'd love it to be otherwise and Dubai survives
Dubai was rich from tourist. Problem was it got very boring very fast. Once you are awed by the buildings and shopping centres it’s over very quickly. You never feel the urge to return.
Places like Thailand has culture and fantastic food that tourists want to return again and again.
Inevitably Dubai will weaken as time goes by. Tourism is getting very competitive and other businesses they going they face stiff competition. Miracles don't last long.
They must keep moving forward. Most of what we have today came as firsts from the middle east/Africa/Asia. Study the countries around the Mediterranean sea. Major destruction=major rebuilding. Expecting to see major innovation coming from that area of the world.
And KSA is desperate to replace UAE in the GCC. Most multinational companies have HQ in UAE as no expats want to live in KSA so they commute. Today, if you want to do business in KSA you need to set up your office there.
@A B 10 years ago I came across comment like this saying dubai gonna fail, bankrupt etc. Years goes on dubai going stronger and more rich. Then I stop believing everything on media sosial
@@sam-gt7eq 10 years ago Dubai was facing bankruptcy due to economic collapse... they rebounded just as Miami did after 08 which left half the city vacant. But 10 years ago Dubai was the only ‘Dubai’ in the Middle East. Now they are competing with Doha, Bahrain, and soon Riyadh. Rebounding will be harder and longer. Especially when Saudis Neom projects complete. People will flock to the Line leaving Doha and Dubai. Cities trend.

You didn't mention the lack of income taxes. Dubai has the potential to attract a lot of foreign talent and investment. A lot of the big tech companies has a office in the Emirates.
Yeah right if by foreign you mean rich Indians looking to get away from Indias pollution, crime, corruption, 😂
Why would foreign talent want to go to Dubai? It has bad weather, less freedom and no possibilities of putting down roots.

The only country comparable to Dubai in terms of liberal rules is Bahrain.
I don’t buy into Qatar , Abu Dhabi and KSA being competitive to what Dubai has to offer .
Good vid , thanks.
They already have tax in Dubai, for high income earners..They also have GST. And tobacco tax and alcohol tax.
Bahrain is far more libral and modern and tolerant than any other middle eastern country, in Dubai there are different laws for immigrants and citizens, the Dubai Gov sees us as immigrants who are here temporarily and we contribute to their economy so they tend to ignore our actions like drinking, pre marital sex, short clothes etc. Because they know they we are not a part of that country. Unlike Bahrain which has a monarchy like the British where there is a proper government they have LGBTQ rights(this should tell you how libral they are), although the Bahrain monarchy holds more power than the British monarchy but they are by far the most libral in country in the gulf. Can't compare UAE and Bahrain.
Dubai has 5%VAT , 10%service charge,10% tourism tax ..worked as a migrant labour .. I can never afford to live anymore in UAE..
Abu dhabi is actually similar to Dubai...
@@Ai-vq8rj Abu Dhabi is cheaper ,more organised and has better facilities for families than Dubai .I live in AD since 1987
They should have built good housing for the middle class and poor, foreign workers.
Any oil-built cities that cater only to the wealthy will end up failing when there's no alternative structure besides oil money, to maintain it.
This is where city planning is so important.
Cheaper to live than Southern Cities in England and major cities in USA. Money goes alot further in Dubai if you know how to spend it. Live a far better life in Dubai than Liverpool, UK For the same money
Money goes a lot farther everywhere if you know how to spend it. A big problem in the West is that people don't know how to spend it. They consider makeup, false eyelashes, new cars, and large houses as needs rather than wants.
Man,
Dubai's realest market has been growing rapidly, last year alone witnessed 76% of growth. Iam pretty dam sure lots western people are relocating to dubai because its a tax heaven. The propaganda against dubai is not new. We can see it from last two decades. But they are still keep growing no matter what.
Interesting Video; Investment risk may be reduced in the present economic climate by: First and foremost, you should consider maintaining asset diversification across a wide range of asset categories in a way that is commensurate with the level of the personal risks you are willing to assume, the amount of time you are willing to wait, and the specifics of your financial objective. Diversification is a tactic that might help you control your investment risk, so keep that in mind. The risk of losing money due to falling security prices is unavoidable. Because it can be challenging to make investments. Working with a financial adviser may be useful if you're just starting out on the road to building wealth, since they can provide expert guidance and advice. This Is What I See!

Hi my friend all your comments against Dubai is just not true. I leaved in UAE since 1977 till 2013 Nov. I have seen all the progress of the developments going on. I know some of the so said cheap laborers and where close to me as friend, believe me or not they have build very nice houses back home in India; I visited them and they were very happy for my visit. Please stop hate and work for yourself and forget others.
Look at the instability of the Region, most of Africa, and elsewhere.
Dubai's a logical benefactor and destination.
For the same reasons Miami, London, New York, L.A., and Sydney are so popular with the Global Rich.
Taking early notes from Warren as to the importance of sound asset diversification and risk management It can’t be overstated. I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $300K for sometime now, I would greatly appreciate any other suggestions.
Quite true! You don't necessarily need to be a flawless investor; all you need to do is seek advice from an expert. I began investing in 2016 and pulled a profit of roughly $900k that same year despite having no prior investment knowledge.

It's very true that UAE and Dubai in particular are facing some economical issues regarding their "backbone" tourism and real state industries, but the government is continuously changing the laws, like the introduction of Golden and Green long term visas, more softer ways to purchase a property while still living outside the UAE etc. And is also booming it's I.T and finance industry heavily. Lastly, being born and raised in Dubai, it's much more stable, secure and safer than ever before.

It was the West that created Dubai, not the Arabs. And who benefited the most from Dubai? It’s the West, not the Arabs. Where are the airliners built for Emirate, Etihad or Qatar? Europeans and Americans. Who are mostly the pilots? Europeans and Americans. Who supplies goods and services to those skyscrapers? Europeans and Americans. Who owns the banks? Again, Europeans and Americans and Asians.
So the white Europeans and Americans have built a satellite state far from their shores with added benefit of cheap labor, low risk, and great rewards.
So next time don’t be too proud of the Arabs.

What are the sources for what you are saying about the laws being loosened to attract western banks. And where do you find information about the money transfers from Beirut to Dubai. Im writing a assignment about this so please help
All the properties are sold out, major buyers Russian. Dubai has impletmented Corporate Tax and soon there focus would move from oil. You should do more research before the video. Above all the local in Dubai are quit welcoming for expat I am not sure how it is in other country. The new golden visa has attract lot of people around the world.
great work as usual
The country has good thinking leaders who are dynamic. They have zero crime problems, very peaceful and safe. There is no country that renders so much joy and like Dubai.

From the video and the well informed comments of those with direct experience of Dubai, it seems only a matter of time before it fails. Either way I would never live there, visit or invest any money.
U sure about that? Dubai is taking advantage of conflicts and disasters, because they are currently a bastion of stability. They didn't lock down or go crazy over covid rules, but instead implemented scientifically sound measures that attracted expats and tourists. With the Russia-Ukraine war, they've not stigmatized Russians and are instead welcoming them (which makes sense, since most Russians fleeing Russia don't support the war). I think they will navigate this conflict-ridden century in such a way that makes them successful.
The problem is it to expensive to buy property there and the fact you can never be a citizen doe not make it sound very inviting.
Welcoming cowards fleeing their country rather than taking Putin out & standing by their motherland, and you equate that to great supply to be welcomed in!?! They are no different than economic opportunists /foreign migrants, something most native populous do not need nor want and if they were cream of the crop they'd be fixing their own country. I'm certainly no expert about Dubai, but it sounds like a similar opportunistic mentality to these winners you describe from Russia, that never ends well, everyone using everyone eventually goes South or blows up on all involved.
During covid their economy collapsed and people barely survived!!!
They hate Christians
They persecute Asians and Africans who work in their country
I wonder how long before the Russian Mafia shows up in Dubai?
I believe the stability of dubai in a world of chaos, dubai will continue to thrive. I also live in dubai since a while. Despite many real estate available, rents keep on jumping because people are stil comin here from all over Europe and russia escaping the uncertainty of that region

This video is totally biased. The west hates on Dubai for having all the success without the discraceful societal failure. As a matter of fact, the UAE's economy is more diverse and advanced than alot of these western countries. The tech sector alone provides for more than 10% of total GDP, more than Canada! But whats more impressive is the rate at which they are progressing it is remarkably fast.
