    99% or people in Dubai can be classified into one of 3 groups. Just 3.
    1) People with a UAE passport. Rich and powerful.
    2) Rich expats working for corporations based in Dubai because there is no income tax, who cozy up to the local authorities.
    3) Poor, foreign workers that have no rights, live in deplorable conditions, and are at the mercy of the other two.
    The nobles, the aristocrats, and the peasants.
    Modern Feudalism.
    And trust me, each one of those behaves exactly how you'd expect them to behave towards the others. It's fucking depressing.

    As a person born and raised for 16 years in Dubai, and lived in Sharjah. This cannot begin to scratch the surface on the dystopia that is that fucking corporate hell hole. No birth right citizenship, no attainable process of gaining citizenship either. From day 1 of my birth until I left, the government treated me as a guest, going so far as to not allowing my family to be even considered permanent residents, but temporary residents. This applies to every single Arab, Nepali, Bengali, Indian, just everyone who isn't Emarati. You need to continuously renew your residency or risk deportation to whatever hellhole you tried escaping from to raise a family.
    This is but 1 example of human rights abuses, how about Emaar and other Khaleeji companies building recruitment offices in impoverished nations, signing contracts with workers some up to 30 years of labor, only to confiscate your passport when you arrive, even though its not "legal". This country is simply built on the backs of slaves who deserve to be freed. The fact they are viewed as lesser is genuinely disgusting, as they're human and without them, this sandcastle of a nation would literally grind to a halt.

      Totally correct! I also spent a decent chunk of my childhood in Dubai/Sharjah as my dad is in oil and gas and the amount of effort he had to put in to get the Emarati’s to treat the workers (mostly Indian/South East Asian) with even a small shred of decency or concern for their safety was absurd. As an example one was going to send 30-40 workers into some tanks to do some coating/painting without doing a gas check and he had to argue for hours with the local site manager to stop him from doing it and when the other British supervisor took a gas test the levels were like 2-3 times a lethal dose, basically if my dad hadn’t been there to argue there would be at least a dozen deaths and I’m sure that same story probably played out many times more at other sites. It’s very depressing how little their society values the lives of other humans in general.

      Okay, the human rights violations are awful, but the citizenship situation is a non-issue. Most places don't have birth right citizenship, that's more of an American continent/Oceania thing. In most places citizenship is inherited. The Emiratis have the right to maintain exclusive control of their territory, something Europe woefully forgot to do in their nations. But yes, the working conditions are not rightful.

    I am from Germany and there was also a story in one late night show during the pandemic where the host made fun of the same topic.
    There were quite a few German influencers who decided to go to Dubai, they also made tons of videos emphasizing how great Dubai is.
    They talk about how in Germany you are so restricted, nothing is allowed and the profession of "influencer" is not taken seriously etc.
    Then they compared it to Dubai there it is so much better because you actually get a "license" which makes being an influencer so much more professional.
    However, that license is basically just an agreement to a set of rules of what you are allowed to say and do, but apparently for them that is not restricting at all.
    (The guy who said that Germany is so restricting btw. made a prank where he paid with fake money and got into trouble. Try that shit in Dubai my guy)
    A female influencer also made a prank video in Dubai and immediatly got into trouble because she was spotted via CCTV. She then uploaded a video apologizing
    for what she did, she praised the police for intervening and how those levels of "security" actually make her feel safe.
    Dude if that happened to her in Germany, there would be no apology, she would be pissed that she was monitored, she would have called Germany a "Surveillance state" and trashed the police.
    Most influencers are braindead and/or have no morals, they do what is required to get sponsorships and brand deals the rest does not matter to them. Most of them probably do not see their own hypocrisy.

    I was born and raised in Dubai and it’s sad how dystopian it is. Nothing there is real and they can say whatever they like in the media. They will lie about how hot it is so that builders cannot stop despite the fact it is over 50 degrees c. They cover up murders to make the crime rate lower and they put people in prison for minor charges for one person but not the other. It’s a horrible place and I would never go back despite it being my ‘home’. I am not proud of that or that place.

    Ive had an Indian worker from my state. He was a security guard that got really upset one day and I asked him why. He said his wife from India had a baby but she really needed his help as his wife couldn't manage at all, but Dubai was preventing him to do so since they confiscated his passport which really made him upset. Ive researched about workers in Dubai and these workers came from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka construction workers. They were being paid around $175 monthly or less which is just upsetting, and nearly 2-3 or more Indian workers suicide in Dubai every day. Now that's only just India, so just imagine how many people take their lives in every other countries I've mentioned totally. Add up to that, my mother who was Indian had to work 12 hours a day in office, and they treated Arabians very differently. Caste system in Dubai is way more common than you think, and even if you have the money to spend on expensive stuff as an Indian, they still value Americans or other richer countries than us and even sometimes gives us lower service.

    The story of that Dubai Frame is interesting. The building has a height of 150.24 meters and a width of 95.53 meters. The design was selected as the winner of the 2009 ThyssenKrupp Elevator International Award from 926 proposals to select an emblem for Dubai that represented its "new face". The project idea was initially conceived by Fernando Donis, who also helped design the CCTV Headquarters in Beijing and Jeddah International Airport. The idea behind it was when he was designing the structure, he saw Dubai as a city full of emblems and rather than adding another one, they proposed to frame them all.
    Five years after Fernando Donis won the competition, Donis said he was offered a contract by Dubai Municipality, but one of the clauses stated that he waives his intellectual rights to the project. He said that clause was a direct breach of an earlier clause in the original competition brief which stipulated that the author will keep his copyright. In 2016, he filed a lawsuit in a US federal court against the Municipality of Dubai and ThyssenKrupp Elevator. In his lawsuit, Donis claims that he has not received either a contract or compensation for his design. In 2018, it was reported that Donis and the Municipality of Dubai were engaged in a legal dispute over ownership of the copyright, but the case did not reach any conclusion

    I personally always tried to be as generous and polite to the underpaid workers from countries like the Philippines and Pakistan, and what’s even worse is that many other expats of the middle and upper classes kinda just shove the human rights violations under the rug and never address the issue.

    Yup, those fancy islands they created off the coast came at the cost of huge environmental effects. Resulting in changes to area wildlife, coastal erosion, alongshore sediment transport, and wave patterns. Sediment stirred up by construction has suffocated and injured local marine fauna and reduced the amount of sunlight that filters down to seashore vegetation. Variations in alongshore sediment transport have resulted in changes in erosion patterns along the coast, which has also been exacerbated by altered wave patterns as the waters of the Persian Gulf attempt to move around the new obstruction of the islands. Palm Jumeirah changed the water's spectral profile and increased the water surface temperature around it.
    The most mind-blowing fact about the Burj Khalifa: The former Palast der Republik lives on through the Burj Khalifa in Dubai! The Palast der Republik opened in 1976 and was the main gathering place of East Germany or the DDR in East Berlin. Besides parliament, it also had restaurants, a performing arts center, a post office, a casino, galleries, a bowling alley, and even an indoor swimming pool! The Palast was demolished in the 2000s to rebuild the old Stadtschloss. After the demolition, about 35K tonnes of steel from it was shipped to the UAE for the Burj Khalifa's construction! So by visiting the Burj Khalifa...you're also visiting the Palast der Republik. Its steel was also sent to Turkey for Volkswagen engines.

    So I was born in Dubai 25 years ago to an Indian family, lived there until couple months ago and something I don't think has yet escaped the bubble Dubai lives in is the Emiratisation Scheme that the government is advocating for since the start of this year.
    If you've read the other comments you'll see that unless your father is an Emirati Citizen, you can't become an Emirati person regardless whether you were born there and have lived there and have contributed to the economy all your life. Since we're not actual citizens and simply expatriates, we have no rights and having no rights means they can essentially do whatever they want and we can't do anything about it, one of the big things is under paying non-Emirati folk (excluding people holding non-brown country passports). They will blatantly tell you, if asked, that you are being underpaid as an Indian person compared to someone with a British passport, solely based on where you're from. And don't even try to compare salaries with Emirati people, they get paid exorbitant amounts, for example an intern is usually not legally required to be paid but some companies will offer salaries varying between AED 1,500 - AED 2,500, however LEGALLY you cannot pay an Emirati intern less than AED 10,000, a salary that most expatriates will never ever see in their lifetime living in Dubai.
    Emiratisation has been around for a long time but its being pushed a lot more recently as a lot of the Emirati population don't work as they don't NEED to work (everything is provided for them) hence they are a huge burden on the government. To counter this, the scheme is actively trying to push out non-national people from high-paying jobs to accommodate to their citizen's high standards as they will never work in low-paying starter jobs. Which is hilarious because the nationals that hold jobs never do any work, they simply delegate to their underlings who are usually under paid Indian and Pakistani people. Since expats need a job to survive in Dubai, I guess this scheme will continue to work but if you are someone with an undesirable skin colour and passport, you will most likely never see any job growth.

Shortly after he came back to work in the uk.

His friend who went out with him was sikh, and he was suprised the amount of racism he received. The uk embassy had to step in because when showing his passport to get though borders, they didnt believe it and thought to be migrant.
