Welcome to the UAE! Not British but I moved from the UK to Dubai so can relate to a lot of your experience. There's lots of great things, but the most fantastic aspect of Dubai is the sheer variety of (halal) food and the safety especially as a Muslim. I've always loved your content but found it more UK-centric, hopefully we'll see more UAE content with you here!

Been here in the UAE since 2008 (british expat) what I can say is it's not as cheap to live here than it use to be... for me it's soon time to head back as can't wait to be back with the extended family, money just can't fill that void.

You need around £10k to start. Lots of set up costs. You have to pay for any paperwork you need. School costs and transportation are very high. My advice is do your calculations first. You may find a small difference in your tax free salary compared to your UK salary. School starts at 7:30. Very early and exhausting for kids. The weather from April to Oct is unbearable, reaching anywhere between 37-45 Celsius

An unwritten rule you will realise soon is that as a British / Western expat you automatically qualify as "rich" and therefore incur higher costs in general. Upscale neighbourhoods with organic grocers and posh UK curriculum schools aside, if you only speak English (as opposed to as a second language in addition to Hindi/Urdu/Malayalam/Tagalog/Arabic) you tend to get tourist rates and miss out on insider deals in local shops and "normal" places outside of malls.

Salaam from someone who has spent most of life in the UAE. Happy to provide answers if you have any questions on Dubai / Abu Dhabi.

Welcome to Dubai! I would definitely like to know more about Sharia-compliant investment opportunities available for Western expats, particularly Canadian non-residents, living in Dubai (for beginners).

here what i see is you are always an outsider even if you are born or lived here for generations. if you have job or a lot of money or a business you can live happily with out any regrets. if you dont do something fishy in and to uae.

Great video Mohsin, I think you've really taken to the content creation ma sha Allah

1. Things will take longer than expected 2. Initial start up costs are high 3. There are whatsapp and telegram groups that cover all information for moving

Inshallah, moving to Dubai after Eid. Would love an invite to those groups.

Been here almost 9 years - great life compared to UK - would be good to be added to some of these WhatsApp groups…

I’m moving with my partner to Dubai in next 3 months and I will really appreciate those WhatsApp and Facebook groups you are talking in the video 🙏🏼☀️

gr8 video on this topic UAE is the safest place on this planet with a luxurious lifestyle

Been here for a month to scope things out, so can say I've heard similar advice. I am dreading going back to UK and feeling somebody is going to mug me in London or hear some racist taunt. Dubai is safe and diverse.

Salaam Mohsin, JazakAllah for sharing your honest views re the move to Dubai. May it be a prosperous yet rewarding new chapter for you and the family. Strongly considering a move to Dubai InshaaAllah. Could I ask to be addd to the groups please. JazakAllah Khairun.
