The gulf states aren't really like proper advanced economies and are never going to be the same as places like NYC or London. They are built from the proceeds of oil, a limited resource, using slaves from places like Pakistan. Ultimately as countries transition to renewables and oil is no longer available, these places will fall back to being the fishing villages they once were. The 'crypto bro' and tax avoiding companies that they are also currently sustaining are never going to be long term options. Even tourists have started to view the places as a bit tacky. The strong rule of law is not properly balanced with human rights, and freedoms we take for granted, they are essentially dictatorships, and there have been countless examples of imprisonment of westerners for things like 'accidentally brushing up against an Emirati' or 'going bankrupt' (a crime in UAE). I hope you enjoy your trip, but these are not places that are comparable to proper countries, they are essentially temporary theme parks paid by oil and human suffering.
Why does it matter to u as an expat/foreigner? Gulf states citizenship are meant to be for gulf people only even if you lived there for 50 years or born there .. Expats are welcomed to work for good salaries and quality of life .. Unlike NYC or london there is no chaos or political instabilities or other propoganda shoved in ur throat .. life is peaceful and quiet in UAE and i love it. Greetings from a UAE Expat.
@@deadbeat5165 Not sure you read my comment. If you prefer to live in a monarchic dictatorship, complicit in modern slavery and lack of human rights and freedoms, that's up to you. I was simply saying that the salaries are not sustainable long term, as they are based on a finite resource - oil. The reason salaries are high is because tax is low, and reason tax is low, is because vast oil reserves are subsidising daily life. It isn't a proper country.
I am from Nepal coming soon to abu Dhabi
I hope your next destination is Bangladesh🥰🇧🇩
