00:00:01,850 --> 00:00:07,439
hey guys and welcome to Dubai Dubai as a
2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,809
city and an emirate in the United Arab
3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:12,000
Emirates known for luxury shopping
4
00:00:09,808 --> 00:00:14,548
ultra modern architecture and sandy
5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,500
beaches Dubai was turned from a desert
6
00:00:14,548 --> 00:00:20,239
backwater into one of the world's most
7
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:23,460
futuristic cities in less than 50 years
8
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:25,589
where is Dubai located in the eastern
9
00:00:23,460 --> 00:00:28,050
part of the arabian peninsula on the
10
00:00:25,589 --> 00:00:30,149
coast of the Persian Gulf the city is
11
00:00:28,050 --> 00:00:33,270
growing so fast I was actually visiting
12
00:00:30,149 --> 00:00:35,399
it back in 1995 with my dad and when it
13
00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:37,980
came here for the second time I couldn't
14
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:39,329
recognize anything my first impression
15
00:00:37,979 --> 00:00:41,729
was that the city is just so
16
00:00:39,329 --> 00:00:43,530
overwhelming different parts of the city
17
00:00:41,729 --> 00:00:45,449
are just so spread out and it's not
18
00:00:43,530 --> 00:00:46,649
clear had to get from one place to
19
00:00:45,450 --> 00:00:50,570
another
20
00:00:46,649 --> 00:00:52,859
[Music]
21
00:00:50,570 --> 00:00:55,140
first of all let's point out some
22
00:00:52,859 --> 00:00:57,238
cultural aspects although two buys the
23
00:00:55,140 --> 00:00:59,009
most liberal or the seven Emirates it is
24
00:00:57,238 --> 00:01:00,859
still an arab emirate and much of its
25
00:00:59,009 --> 00:01:03,420
culture is influenced by islam
26
00:01:00,859 --> 00:01:05,250
criticizing the royal family local laws
27
00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:06,000
or the country in general will probably
28
00:01:05,250 --> 00:01:07,409
get you in trouble
29
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,719
drinking in public or just being
30
00:01:07,409 --> 00:01:10,228
intoxicated in public is also against
31
00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:12,118
the law
32
00:01:10,228 --> 00:01:13,950
when visit in public places you got to
33
00:01:12,118 --> 00:01:16,290
follow certain dress code make sure you
34
00:01:13,950 --> 00:01:18,150
cover your shoulders and knees also no
35
00:01:16,290 --> 00:01:20,310
kissing or hugging in public you will
36
00:01:18,150 --> 00:01:22,680
hear a call to the prayer five times a
37
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:25,409
day no matter where you are outside in a
38
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,540
mall or at a business meeting filming
39
00:01:25,409 --> 00:01:30,649
people is basically legal you got to ask
40
00:01:27,540 --> 00:01:30,649
for their permission first
41
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,269
coffee good
42
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:41,069
the population of the city is 3.3
43
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:44,879
million people and every year it
44
00:01:41,069 --> 00:01:47,879
increases by 170,000 people you might be
45
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:51,408
surprised by the locals or Emiratis only
46
00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:54,089
make up about 10% of the population
47
00:01:51,409 --> 00:01:56,100
looking at all the luxury of Dubai it
48
00:01:54,090 --> 00:01:58,228
might seem that everyone must be pretty
49
00:01:56,099 --> 00:02:00,780
wealthy around here which is often the
50
00:01:58,228 --> 00:02:02,609
case for locals and some high-skilled
51
00:02:00,780 --> 00:02:06,349
expatriates coming from countries like
52
00:02:02,609 --> 00:02:06,349
the US UK and Canada
53
00:02:09,008 --> 00:02:12,969
but it's a completely different story
54
00:02:11,348 --> 00:02:14,859
for the construction workers and the
55
00:02:12,969 --> 00:02:19,239
taxi drivers that come from Pakistan
56
00:02:14,860 --> 00:02:21,819
Bangladesh India Nigeria Egypt and other
57
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:23,439
countries who only average about six or
58
00:02:21,818 --> 00:02:27,098
seven hundred dollars a month
59
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:31,628
hi Briana I'm not move I'm from
60
00:02:27,098 --> 00:02:32,949
Bangladesh what's your name my name is
61
00:02:31,628 --> 00:02:34,509
Sarah Muhammad who do you come from
62
00:02:32,949 --> 00:02:37,359
Pakistan Peshawar
63
00:02:34,509 --> 00:02:39,370
nice to meet you yeah they don't live in
64
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,500
fancy neighborhoods rather they live in
65
00:02:39,370 --> 00:02:43,299
communities such as this one they can't
66
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:45,639
afford to bring their families over here
67
00:02:43,299 --> 00:02:47,920
and sometimes several men have to share
68
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,199
one room they're here to make some money
69
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,328
and send it back to their home country I
70
00:02:50,199 --> 00:02:54,909
want to mention this guy he's from Egypt
71
00:02:52,329 --> 00:02:56,560
you saw us on the subway trying to
72
00:02:54,909 --> 00:02:59,109
figure out how to get to a certain place
73
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,719
and he came to our rescue he took us all
74
00:02:59,109 --> 00:03:04,359
the way to the destination and then even
75
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:07,090
stopped to buy some cold drinks which
76
00:03:04,359 --> 00:03:09,040
was very nice of him none of those
77
00:03:07,090 --> 00:03:11,019
people had plans to stay here longer
78
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:13,689
than they need it to be cuz UAE
79
00:03:11,019 --> 00:03:15,789
citizenship is almost impossible to
80
00:03:13,689 --> 00:03:17,650
obtain even if you're born here it
81
00:03:15,789 --> 00:03:19,120
doesn't change anything unless one of
82
00:03:17,650 --> 00:03:21,819
your parents is an Emirati
83
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:24,159
just imagine the situation say a young
84
00:03:21,818 --> 00:03:26,229
couple that comes from Egypt comes to
85
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:28,120
live and work in Dubai they give birth
86
00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:30,548
to a child who grows up gets their
87
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,799
education here gets a job afterwards and
88
00:03:30,549 --> 00:03:34,060
continues living and do by thinking that
89
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:36,430
Dubai is their home
90
00:03:34,060 --> 00:03:38,469
then that person's working visa is not
91
00:03:36,430 --> 00:03:41,739
extended for whatever reason and they're
92
00:03:38,469 --> 00:03:43,419
told go home go home where they asked go
93
00:03:41,739 --> 00:03:48,159
home to Egypt where that person had
94
00:03:43,419 --> 00:03:50,139
never been in their lifetime in Dubai
95
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:52,689
the number of man exceeds that of women
96
00:03:50,139 --> 00:03:58,000
by more than double there's about two
97
00:03:52,689 --> 00:04:00,579
and a half males for every female today
98
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,039
less than 5% of the Emirates revenue
99
00:04:00,579 --> 00:04:05,680
comes from oil instead the economy
100
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:08,098
relies on trade tourism aviation
101
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,909
financial services and real estate
102
00:04:08,098 --> 00:04:12,219
tourism is doing well
103
00:04:09,909 --> 00:04:14,500
Dubai's the fourth most visited city in
104
00:04:12,219 --> 00:04:18,639
the world the city had 15 million
105
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:21,439
overnight visitors in 2016 but the real
106
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:24,169
estate situation is another story
107
00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:25,040
who want to invest in Dubai have to keep
108
00:04:24,170 --> 00:04:27,110
an eye on the market
109
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,970
several years ago Dubai already found
110
00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:31,069
itself in a difficult situation when it
111
00:04:28,970 --> 00:04:34,310
needed a twenty billion dollar bailout
112
00:04:31,069 --> 00:04:35,870
from its oil-rich neighbor Abu Dhabi to
113
00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:39,459
escape a debt crisis caused by
114
00:04:35,870 --> 00:04:41,840
collapsing property prices since 2014
115
00:04:39,459 --> 00:04:44,419
residential property prices have dropped
116
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,939
by more than 15 percent and are still
117
00:04:44,420 --> 00:04:49,250
fallen the housing market remains
118
00:04:46,939 --> 00:04:51,560
oversupply and you're looking at all the
119
00:04:49,250 --> 00:04:54,079
ongoing projects I get a feeling that it
120
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,819
might stay this way for a while at the
121
00:04:54,079 --> 00:05:00,560
same time they're expecting the city
122
00:04:55,819 --> 00:05:03,110
population to double by 2027 everyone's
123
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,680
betting on Expo 2020 to turn things
124
00:05:03,110 --> 00:05:05,569
around
125
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:10,400
for which Dubai is ready to spend eight
126
00:05:05,569 --> 00:05:12,230
billion dollars on infrastructure Dubai
127
00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:14,060
has always been an attractive place to
128
00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:17,960
run a business for yet another reason
129
00:05:14,060 --> 00:05:19,819
zero taxes but in 2018 the government
130
00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:22,819
implemented value-added tax
131
00:05:19,819 --> 00:05:26,439
v80 at a rate of five percent not too
132
00:05:22,819 --> 00:05:26,439
bad but it's not zero anymore
133
00:05:27,129 --> 00:05:32,810
Dubai is in the desert and it's hot
134
00:05:29,620 --> 00:05:35,959
summer days can be as hot as 50 Celsius
135
00:05:32,810 --> 00:05:38,089
or 122 Fahrenheit and it's sunny
136
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:39,859
throughout the air it is hotter here
137
00:05:38,089 --> 00:05:42,109
than in Phoenix Arizona so you get the
138
00:05:39,860 --> 00:05:43,819
picture even the taxi drivers from Egypt
139
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:45,439
that I talked to said that in the
140
00:05:43,819 --> 00:05:50,360
summertime it's hotter here than it is
141
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:53,418
in Egypt it's in the deserts of water
142
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,250
supply is a major challenge close to 99
143
00:05:53,418 --> 00:05:57,409
percent of potable drinking water in
144
00:05:55,250 --> 00:05:59,629
Dubai comes from desalination plants
145
00:05:57,410 --> 00:06:01,790
just imagine how many cubic meters of
146
00:05:59,629 --> 00:06:04,370
water they need every day for the city
147
00:06:01,790 --> 00:06:06,319
in this part of the world you know a
148
00:06:04,370 --> 00:06:08,689
city is wealthy when it has a lot of
149
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:11,269
green parks and gardens and palm trees
150
00:06:08,689 --> 00:06:14,000
you know divided in the desert so it
151
00:06:11,269 --> 00:06:17,149
takes a lot of water to keep it all
152
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,589
green and nice everywhere you will see
153
00:06:17,149 --> 00:06:23,089
some water systems and some hoses look
154
00:06:21,589 --> 00:06:26,829
at this flowers
155
00:06:23,089 --> 00:06:26,829
they're hoses everywhere
156
00:06:27,660 --> 00:06:32,760
they can't have too much fur in when
157
00:06:30,509 --> 00:06:38,789
it's 50 outside I mean you gotta keep it
158
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:40,589
short right Dubai is not very walkable
159
00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:42,720
so you'll have to be reliant on public
160
00:06:40,589 --> 00:06:46,279
transportation to get you around but
161
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,990
most people just prefer to use taxes
162
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,729
Dubai is jam-packed with things that are
163
00:06:48,990 --> 00:06:53,040
designed to be the biggest or the most
164
00:06:50,730 --> 00:06:55,980
extravagant in the world it has this
165
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,110
attitude of nothing is impossible the
166
00:06:55,980 --> 00:07:00,150
Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in
167
00:06:58,110 --> 00:07:02,220
the world it's an eight hundred and
168
00:07:00,149 --> 00:07:05,159
thirty meter tall tower that dominates
169
00:07:02,220 --> 00:07:08,550
the skyscraper filled skyline by the way
170
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:10,320
Burj in Arabic means a building while
171
00:07:08,550 --> 00:07:11,910
without a doubt it's a true masterpiece
172
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:13,949
it might be just a little bit of an
173
00:07:11,910 --> 00:07:15,540
overrated site for tourists do you
174
00:07:13,949 --> 00:07:17,219
really want to waste two or three hours
175
00:07:15,540 --> 00:07:19,770
in line just to see the city from above
176
00:07:17,220 --> 00:07:21,390
I decided to pass on the idea because
177
00:07:19,769 --> 00:07:24,180
you can admire the building from outside
178
00:07:21,389 --> 00:07:26,399
for free but did you know they're
179
00:07:24,180 --> 00:07:28,980
already building a toll or building it's
180
00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:31,259
called Dubai Creek Tower and it will be
181
00:07:28,980 --> 00:07:33,860
at least 100 meters taller than Burj
182
00:07:31,259 --> 00:07:33,860
Khalifa
183
00:07:34,588 --> 00:07:40,868
Dubai has the world's largest flower
184
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:43,929
garden Dubai miracle garden the garden
185
00:07:40,869 --> 00:07:45,699
has a total of 45 million flowers so
186
00:07:43,928 --> 00:07:49,978

00:07:45,699 --> 00:07:49,978
area and take a break from the busy city

[Music]
189
00:07:52,649 --> 00:07:58,418
we are in the beautiful miracle garden
190
00:07:56,168 --> 00:08:00,938
in Dubai and it seems like it's
191
00:07:58,418 --> 00:08:02,649
everything they've been lacking all the
192
00:08:00,939 --> 00:08:05,379
greenery and all the different kinds of
193
00:08:02,649 --> 00:08:06,728
flowers devised basically a desert and
194
00:08:05,379 --> 00:08:09,399
over here you feel like you know
195
00:08:06,728 --> 00:08:11,378
Thailand and it's just a wonderful place
196
00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:13,629
and you should definitely visit that if
197
00:08:11,379 --> 00:08:15,789
you're in Dubai during the summer months
198
00:08:13,629 --> 00:08:24,099
the garden stays closed for obvious
199
00:08:15,788 --> 00:08:27,098
reasons it's too hot man sorry I didn't
200
00:08:24,098 --> 00:08:30,128

roads in the world for five years in a
202
00:08:30,129 --> 00:08:34,240
row the Emirates had been number one
203
00:08:32,708 --> 00:08:36,458
when it came to quality of roads
204
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,438
according to global economy and of
205
00:08:36,458 --> 00:08:40,489
course if you have some super roads you
206
00:08:38,438 --> 00:08:48,418
need some super cars right
207
00:08:40,490 --> 00:08:48,418
[Music]
208
00:08:49,309 --> 00:08:53,189

00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:56,610
conditioned bus shelters and there's
211
00:08:55,110 --> 00:09:00,450
more than a thousand of them right now
212
00:08:56,610 --> 00:09:02,639

213
00:09:00,450 --> 00:09:04,770
longest fully automated metro system
214

where all trains run without drivers
215
00:09:04,769 --> 00:09:09,240
most of it above the ground they have
216
00:09:07,049 --> 00:09:11,639
two lines a green line and a red line
217
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:14,490
the red line goes along the main Dubai
218
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:15,840
Street Sheikh Zayed highway there are
219
00:09:14,490 --> 00:09:18,450
three different classes of service
220

silver class women and children only and
221
00:09:18,450 --> 00:09:24,060
gold class a ticket to the gold class is
222
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,950
two times more expensive than usual the
223
00:09:24,059 --> 00:09:30,750
best thing about it is it doesn't get
224
00:09:25,950 --> 00:09:32,129
crowded during rush hours a problem
225
00:09:30,750 --> 00:09:34,710
chest petitioner Dubai is pretty
226
00:09:32,129 --> 00:09:37,200
convenient and the best weight is to get
227
00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:39,480
an old card which is good for subway
228
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:42,030
it's good for bus the only thing it's
229
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:46,470
not good for is monorail which have to
230
00:09:42,029 --> 00:09:48,199
pay separately Dubai is also known for

them is monorail the ticket is very

right time right people what but what
461
00:20:44,179 --> 00:20:47,990
about the parks my first impression is
462
00:20:46,490 --> 00:20:50,870
that the city's nothing but a concrete
463
00:20:47,990 --> 00:20:53,029
jungle and there's no parks well it's
464
00:20:50,869 --> 00:20:55,009
not like that there are plenty of parks
465
00:20:53,029 --> 00:20:56,720
this one's called Al Barsha where people
466
00:20:55,009 --> 00:20:59,710
come to go jogging or just take a break
467
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,710
from the busy city life
468
00:21:01,660 --> 00:21:10,580
they even half golf courses here can you
469
00:21:04,490 --> 00:21:12,440
imagine so how did it all start Dubai
470
00:21:10,579 --> 00:21:16,220
was a village of fishermen and Perl
471
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:18,320
hunters until the mid 20th century the
472
00:21:16,220 --> 00:21:21,230
best way to look at this distant past is
473
00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:23,299
to visit the Dubai Museum it is located
474
00:21:21,230 --> 00:21:27,130
in the fort alpha Healey which is the
475
00:21:23,299 --> 00:21:29,690
oldest building in Dubai built in 1787
476
00:21:27,130 --> 00:21:31,400
pearl huntin was the main source of
477
00:21:29,690 --> 00:21:33,679
income for the local population back
478
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:36,320
then but the invention of artificial
479
00:21:33,679 --> 00:21:39,590
pearls by the Japanese in the 1930s
480
00:21:36,319 --> 00:21:41,329
destroyed the economy in 1968 Great
481
00:21:39,589 --> 00:21:43,099
Britain abandoned the Protectorate of
482
00:21:41,329 --> 00:21:45,169
the Gulf countries right around this
483
00:21:43,099 --> 00:21:47,449
time oil was discovered and from that
484
00:21:45,170 --> 00:21:52,190
moment the Emirates got quick start in
485
00:21:47,450 --> 00:21:54,319
the development they say driving a car
486
00:21:52,190 --> 00:21:56,779
in Dubai is not for everyone
487
00:21:54,319 --> 00:21:59,029
locals say that if you miss an exit it
488
00:21:56,779 --> 00:22:01,639
might take you 20 to 30 minutes to get
489
00:21:59,029 --> 00:22:03,920
back on the route speeding fines are no
490
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,960
joke for example if you exceed the speed
491
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,630
limit by 20 kilometres an hour
492
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:11,090
your fines gonna be an equivalent of 82
493
00:22:08,630 --> 00:22:13,280
dollars but if you exceeded by 80
494
00:22:11,089 --> 00:22:16,549
kilometers an hour it's gonna be eight
495
00:22:13,279 --> 00:22:18,678
hundred and twenty dollars once a
496
00:22:16,549 --> 00:22:21,169
British tourist got stuck in Dubai after
497
00:22:18,679 --> 00:22:23,120
racking up forty five thousand dollars
498
00:22:21,170 --> 00:22:25,759
in speeding tickets in a rented
499
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:28,039
Lamborghini in four hours it triggered
500
00:22:25,759 --> 00:22:30,170
every speed camera on Sheikh Zayed Road
501
00:22:28,039 --> 00:22:35,359
and they wouldn't let him go until the
502
00:22:30,170 --> 00:22:38,150
paid the fines in full one of the newest
503
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:40,549
additions to the city as the Dubai frame
504
00:22:38,150 --> 00:22:44,080
you can see it from a distance its high
505
00:22:40,549 --> 00:22:46,579
it is 150 metres it has a glass floor
506
00:22:44,079 --> 00:22:50,769
the idea is that it splits the
507
00:22:46,579 --> 00:22:50,769
into the old part and the new part
508
00:22:57,460 --> 00:23:04,250
what's it like for the locals live here
509
00:23:01,390 --> 00:23:06,440
Emiratis like I said make up only 10 to
510
00:23:04,250 --> 00:23:08,680
15 percent of the population they get
511
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:12,009
plenty of perks from the government like
512
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:14,570
$20,000 or more as a wedding present
513
00:23:12,009 --> 00:23:16,910
polygamy is allowed so you can have more
514
00:23:14,569 --> 00:23:19,549
than one wife there's an Arab joke about
515
00:23:16,910 --> 00:23:22,100
this if you have one wife she will fight
516
00:23:19,549 --> 00:23:24,819
with you if you have two wives they will
517
00:23:22,099 --> 00:23:27,439
fight for you
518
00:23:24,819 --> 00:23:29,809
recently the introduced mandatory
519
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,430
military service so now a Marathi man
520
00:23:29,809 --> 00:23:34,039
who have finished secondary school and
521
00:23:31,430 --> 00:23:38,029
aged between 18 and 30 will have to
522
00:23:34,039 --> 00:23:39,769
serve a year and four months did you
523
00:23:38,029 --> 00:23:42,079
know they have a Ministry of happiness
524
00:23:39,769 --> 00:23:43,879
fear Sheikh Mohammed who is vice
525
00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:45,919
president and prime minister of the
526
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,200
country and ruler of the emirate of
527
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,660
Dubai said that he's not going to
528
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,610
tolerate poor government services and he
529
00:23:50,660 --> 00:23:54,110
declared that he would remove staff and
530
00:23:52,609 --> 00:23:56,329
officials who are not performing well
531
00:23:54,109 --> 00:23:58,189
he's also known to visit government
532
00:23:56,329 --> 00:24:00,470
departments when they least expect him
533
00:23:58,190 --> 00:24:02,809
one time he was visiting Dubai
534
00:24:00,470 --> 00:24:05,269
Municipality and he was surprised to
535
00:24:02,809 --> 00:24:07,429
find directors and senior officials not
536
00:24:05,269 --> 00:24:09,789
present at the workplace during his
537
00:24:07,430 --> 00:24:09,789
visit
538
00:24:10,089 --> 00:24:16,730
they say Dubai has a development plan
539
00:24:12,890 --> 00:24:18,650
until the year 2017 that's impressive
540
00:24:16,730 --> 00:24:20,930
but is it a comfortable City for
541
00:24:18,650 --> 00:24:22,640
foreigners while salaries are
542
00:24:20,930 --> 00:24:24,890
competitive they say that one of the
543
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,140
biggest challenges here is to build a
544
00:24:24,890 --> 00:24:29,030
circle of friends people come and go all
545
00:24:27,140 --> 00:24:30,770
the time and to make friends with the
546
00:24:29,029 --> 00:24:33,170
locals is not that simple
547
00:24:30,769 --> 00:24:35,750
some people say that Dubai doesn't make
548
00:24:33,170 --> 00:24:37,400
them feel like they belong there some
549
00:24:35,750 --> 00:24:39,380
people told me that in Singapore after
550
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,420
work you go drinking beer with the
551
00:24:39,380 --> 00:24:44,540
locals but in Dubai it's just not
552
00:24:41,420 --> 00:24:47,000
happening there's internet censorship
553
00:24:44,539 --> 00:24:49,879
and voice calls and Skype and whatsapp
554
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,069
are restricted be careful what you post
555
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,050
on social media there's been cases when
556
00:24:52,069 --> 00:24:55,609
foreigners got in trouble after posting
557
00:24:54,049 --> 00:24:58,039
something negative about Dubai on
558
00:24:55,609 --> 00:25:00,589
Instagram or Twitter what about women
559
00:24:58,039 --> 00:25:02,359
rights while I'm not a big expert but
560
00:25:00,589 --> 00:25:04,339
how do you play numerous attempts of
561
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:07,009
members of the royal family to flee the
562
00:25:04,339 --> 00:25:09,230
country just read about Princess Latifah
563
00:25:07,009 --> 00:25:10,579
but try to flee but got caught and she
564
00:25:09,230 --> 00:25:15,319
hasn't been seen
565
00:25:10,579 --> 00:25:17,798
since March 2018 on the bright side
566
00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:20,269
there's definitely been some progress
567
00:25:17,798 --> 00:25:22,129
Dubai has recently loosened its liquor
568
00:25:20,269 --> 00:25:25,220
laws to allow tourists to purchase
569
00:25:22,130 --> 00:25:27,110
alcohol in state controlled stores they
570
00:25:25,220 --> 00:25:29,179
ended prison sentences for loan
571
00:25:27,109 --> 00:25:30,949
defaulters before if you are late with
572
00:25:29,179 --> 00:25:33,440
payments you could be sentenced to jail
573
00:25:30,950 --> 00:25:36,798
for up to three years now you just get a
574
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:38,990
fine instead of jail time the city is
575
00:25:36,798 --> 00:25:40,849
very safe and that's despite the fact
576
00:25:38,990 --> 00:25:44,960
that it has millions of visitors from
577
00:25:40,849 --> 00:25:47,178
all over and most importantly it's a fun
578
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,829
place to live in it's a melting pot of
579
00:25:47,179 --> 00:25:53,480
different cultures and there's so many
580
00:25:48,829 --> 00:25:55,490
events happening all the time to me
581
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,679
Dubai's like the amusement park of the
582
00:25:55,490 --> 00:25:59,870
planet where the most daring ideas are
583
00:25:57,679 --> 00:26:02,419
implemented some of them succeed and
584
00:25:59,869 --> 00:26:04,308
some fail but everybody wants to come
585
00:26:02,419 --> 00:26:06,200
here and see it for themselves and you
586
00:26:04,308 --> 00:26:08,778
can't help but admire the determination
587
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,889
of Dubai to be moving forward and I want
588
00:26:08,778 --> 00:26:12,710
to end this video with a quote from
589
00:26:09,888 --> 00:26:13,668
Sheikh Mohammed the race for excellence
590
00:26:12,710 --> 00:26:16,519
has no finish line
591
00:26:13,669 --> 00:26:18,559

592
00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:20,929
