Qatar isn’t aiming to be Dubai. They are looking to be in the vein of Luxembourg and Singapore. Tiny yet wealthy and powerful.

I’ve lived in Qatar as my husband worked there for several years, we both have two Master degrees each. Coming from a Western country, you can only live there as a highly qualified professional on a work visa (or dependent visa if your spouse works there and qualifies to bring family members along). A work visa is tied to the job and requires a lot of paperwork. It’s not like you can just choose to “move there” or “get sponsored” randomly. As a single you will “just” need a job (which you gotta secure first, good luck) to move there; if you have a family and are NOT on a package salary, school fees for children and living expenses for a family can easily surpass your salary and then the whole endeavour becomes totally infeasible. So, no you can’t just move there just because you want to.

Qatar is a heaven for someone who have a family with a good job there , lot of benefits with nice salary ..... as an Arab i recommend it for people who have +10 years of experience in fields like IT , Gaz and oil , Hospitality , healthcare , journalism ( especially in aljazeera)

The reason why people in Qatar are more conservative with their wealth is because Qatar has old money. Dubai is very new money people who are rich but not necessarily wealthy. You can always tell the difference when you see how someone presents themself.

Really enjoyed your video. I'm in year 6 of living in Qatar from London and I love the calmness and the lack of pressure to be materialistic. But love the freeness of Dubai. Qatar is beautiful 😍

Was married to a saudi and lived in the middle east and absolutely loved it. One thing to note is that Texas tech has a university in Doha and theyre pulling out of the country due to what i read was concerns about future security. I think Qatar would be an amazing place like Abu Dhabi to live and they are marketing in the USA to immigate to Qatar but im just not convinced. You can work and retire very quickly living in the ME as an expat but like you mentioned, you need a sponsor and if all heck broke loose, the life you built there is not yours. You might want to understand islam and sharia law before making any decisions as there is not alot of enthusiasm for other faiths so ….. too hot year round this girl but i loved my time there and was treated like royalty so i was grateful and will always love the people and culture. 😊

I lived in Doha, Qatar for 1.5 years and it was extremely boring (unless all you care about is shopping). The business owners only care about themselves/making money and show little concern/respect for their clients & employees. And rent is extremely expensive, I lived in the Pearl and it's not nearly as "luxurious" as it's made out to be. It's all a facade!

I acqired a Golden Visa and now have three rental properties in Doha. My ROI is around 45% yearly. Doha is 20xs better than the US and safer. I have been welcomed , feel free to be my authentic self and experienced no racism as a Black Expat. I've had numerous conversations with the local natives about the west and theyd rather many of them not be here lol. LOVE Doha AND their culture!

Dubai is Swarovski and Qatar is Baccarat,if you know.. you know

Having just returned from the middle east, you are spot on with Qatar. It’s not as glitzy, fast-paced, open and populated like Dubai, but it still offers something. I think it’s an easy move for anyone considering it, otherwise, try visiting to getting away from the buzz of Dubai! Great video

Lámidé, I stumbled upon your channel for the first time and I'm impressed! You're far from a typical KZfaqr - so much heart and authenticity. Your content is a breath of fresh air! The great level of information encoded with emotion and empathy in your videos make them truly remarkable. Can't wait for more! Blessings from Jamaica 🇯🇲.

You summed up Qatar / Doha so well; culturally, not much has changed from my childhood memories, but it's definitely booming, and the architecture seems to have advanced tremendously. I remember thinking how boring it was as a kid, but I appreciated it as I got older, visiting family, compared to Dubai.

I am ready to be sponsored, that place is like a dream. Beautiful. imagine working for a company and not have to struggle for rent, mortgage, or medical and to not pay your entire earnings in taxes. smhh US need to take notes, oh and the cleanliness, views and no crime. its lie heaven on earth.

Qatar airport alone is mind-blowing. 😍

14:48 that’s wrong. Matter of fact if you purchase any properties in Doha you get 99 years residency plus if the property cost more than 1 million dollar you get a life time residency, free and free education. On top of that you can sponsor your 1st degree relatives to live with you for as long as you own the property first certain years

Greetings from the US! You have a new fan... luved the combination of facts, history, economics, and yes aesthetics - subscribed👍🏾

Lovely video. I appreciate the way you put all the narratives together cohesively and how clear and warm the video and your personality came through ❤

Ooh I've been waiting for this vlog! ❤

Qatar is the safest in fact there’s no crime at all, the crimes committed are insults or injustice, because these things are illegal. Qatar is amazing in my opinion it’s the best

I lived in Qatar 15 months and i loved it!!! planing to go back

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Very informative, thanks!!🤩

The editing was amazing in this video! Doha is beautiful and I think a great place to settle down and more family friendly whereas Dubai is very much the city lifestyle vibe more!

Great video structure hun 👌🏾 I can see this style opening up a lot of doors for you ✨

Less than 100 years is amazing.

New on your channel. Videos are awesome. Much love from Ghana 🇬🇭 ❤

I live here now for work and absolutely love it. I could see myself moving here in the future. I'll post videos of my time here in Qatar soon....I loved your video!

Been here 6yrs ago and I can tell Qatar is the best

Great video. Very informative.

Didn’t skip a second in this video, good review!!

Love this style of video, looking forward to more!

Thank you for sharing. I loved my visit to Dubai and will definitely be visiting Qatar.

Cool video, very informative

Qatar is the place to be if you want the core benefits of Dubai/UAE without the riff raff and superfluous flashiness of Dubai.

A really nice overview of the laidback version of the UAE...good to have options. I am a new subscriber!

Very well narrated Lamide, well done!

I do appreciate these videos about the UAE especially from a black person's perspective which for me is important. Love the knowledge on the economics. Although I haven't been in Dubai for long enough I think less flashy areas I would prefer. I loved Abu Dhabi vs Dubai, so I am keen to have more info re other UAE areas. Qatar, Saudi etc. I wish I was smart enough to be in finance. Numbers just is not me. Not for lack of trying.

Loved the structure of this video! Qatar is goals!

Very organized and well put to video, very interesting and informative I enjoyed watching and learning. My daughter lives in Doha Qatar, she is a flight attendant for Qatar Airways. One day I hope to visit there

Great info Sis. I like your content and I subscribed. Thx

I really enjoy seeing what it is like on the other side of the world... thank you

great video! very insightful

Thank you!!!

Great video

Great video LE. I was just there for the first time about the same time you were. I really, really, reeeeally adore that place. I"m going back in a few weeks to see what I missed. Thanks for you video. I JUST MAY, move there! Thanks again

Thanks for your review & honest content 👍. I am adding Doha-Qatar to my travel bucket-list 😄 Stay Blessed always!

As an American, I lived in Doha from 2006 - 2012. I have been living in Dubai since leaving Qatar. I like both places but for my liking, I enjoy Dubai a little more.

Interesting! I've enjoyed watching!

Great content ❤

ENJOYED YOUR PRESENTATION 👍 🎉

Thank you for doing this video.

This is magnificent ❤

❤ Beautiful thank you ❤

Beautiful vid - you should check out Saudi too

This was awesome

Great video ❤

Such a great video

Doha was amazing I visited several years ago. Great for a weekly stay I loved the condolania theme park Villagio it was great for families. The boat ride in the mall was awesome. Respectfully I covered a bit and still had fun!!❤❤ my phone is filled with fabulous pics…great memories. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

Cheers to almost 50k subs 🎉

Editing is excellent. 😊

My husband wants to move to Dubai from the US after visiting and meeting several expats while doing our scouting trip. A couple people mentioned Qatar as an alternative as they were about to move there. We didn't get a chance to visit but will put in on our list for next time. The conservative fashion is really not of interest to me. I love to look and feel fabulous at all times and being conservative in my clothing doesn't allow me to feel free to be me, at all times. Great info.

Great video really!! Thank you for sharing this. Would be great to get a similar content for Abu Dabi.

Great video. I would like to visit Qatar some day. I've been to Dubai 2 years ago, and I still want to go back.

Wonderful video 😊 added Qatar to the list of places to visit. I always see their flight attendants and I must say they dress nice.

This is my first time watching one of your videos and you have really enlighten me on what it’s like living in Qatar as an expat. Thanks for taking the time to create this video.

Thanks 🏝

such a great video! more vlogs would be great. loving your lifestyle in the middle east

What a great experience I loved it . I love Dubai and hope to visit other cities in the future ❤️❤️😍😍💯💯💯👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

I been when I was in the Army I loved it.

As an American, I envy how other countries protect their citizens. Not allowing investors to take housing away from locals should be a standard everywhere.

Beautiful and a lot of wealth there.

Great video as usual 🔥 You look beautiful Lamide, your makeup looks flawless !

Hello, new subscriber here. Thanks for sharing your experience and culture of Qatar, I really enjoyed it.

Nice content ❤

I love the queen there. She my mentor I do not need to meet her although one day I wish that I could. But this lady is the real deal. she not always in the media. She cares for her people , She always building something to benefit the people not her self. And that is what I love about her. Heck I have started dressing like her in somethings. He is the real deal

I loved Doha! It is so relaxed as compared to Dubai.

Love this informative, historical documentary style vlogs 🎉

Interesting! Good video

Herstory is appreciated including your loveliness British born perhaps Lewisham with the accent i detect

Great video and also great insight. Thanks

Wow I’m literally looking to move abroad & this pops up. It’s crazy because I’ve been deployed here multiple times and i actually love it there. I may consider it. I was leaning towards Southeast Asia or checking out Cape Verde. Thanks for this video 🫴🏿💜

I love a video like this it gives you a different view of the middle east. Whenever I talk with friends about places like Qatar, Dubai, Kuwait etc, they keep saying negatives things.

Beautiful Place 🤗

Really helpful video, especially girvibg prices in pounds!😊👍🏻

Hi Lamide, new subscriber from the UK here and found your channel whilst looking into relocating to dubai....never considered Doha but to be fair it's more up my alley than Dubai so will definitely start doing my homework now......is it easy enough for foreigners to relocate there/Visas etc? Great video and content by the way....thank you

Great information even for foreigners 👍🏽😉

I lived there - loved it. but yes depends on the kind of job, salary package and benefits you have in order to live "comfortably"

I LOVE❤ THIS COUNTRY FROM RIGHT FROM WHEN I DISCOVERED YEARS (2020)

If you love to pray, want a peaceful life with glitz come to the Gulf countries. It is100% safe in all the countries follow rules and you will live happily for many years.

I loved Qatar just very hot in the summer cant even walk outside but very beautiful there.

very informative. id love to see you travel to Oman next.

the analysis is quite good

Interesting video. I emigrated from the UK to Dubai last year simply because it was the place i knew i liked in the region. Seems I should go check out Qatar soon!

Yes, Qatar is very safe, we know you grew up in the UK and originally from Nigeria!!! A long way!! its safe

Pretty cool
