I was in Dubai in March for a uni trip, fell in love and moving over there is in my two year plan. When I came back I found your videos and have followed you since 😊 Really useful information, I really like this style of video with you facing the camera and chatting away as if it’s like a youtuber & friend kinda vibe. Also love that there’s not a massive intro of rambling on about other things unlike a lot of youtubers out there. Direct and straight to the point!
Really great video, well done hun 🤗
Ohhh what a lovely comment!!! Thank you so much for the feedback and good luck with your move! ❤️🥰
it’s cute to see that someone actually fell in love in Dubai, that has been one of my worries about moving there coz I kept hearing that it’s hard to make relationships
Everything you said is 100% true. Recycling was a huge bugbear for me when living in Dubai along with constant taxis! And I know so many people who got into HUGE amounts of debt and couldn’t get out of it because of the over the top lifestyle.
I know right! Thank you for watching 🥰❤️
Hello, Mabel nice vlogs don't stop, My opinion is that Dubai is a great city one of the best in the world, whenever people make a decision it always has a consequence either bad or good so the best thing is to plan ahead and family should have a role on that so no regrets occur afterward, when you travel somewhere you must have a goal you would like to achieve especially away from family, it's not easy but it's reality, in the end, no one to blame for shortcomings but people themselves, sorry i took so long but the truth has to be said, good luck ans best wishes.
I used to live in Dubai, and I agree 100% with each point. Especially the lack of public transport / not very pedestrian friendly.
Personally from my experience in the 90s and 2000s at least. I felt there wasn’t much of a Dubai community. Lemme explain
So Dubai has many different cultural backgrounds. But in e.g USA or Canada or UK, most of the people will still socialize and be a community together even if different cultural values. But in Dubai? I never seen or experienced that. Groups felt more divided and stayed within their same circle etc. Idk if that’s how Dubai is now, but it’s what I honestly experienced back then
Hmm yes I think that’s still quite true! I think workplaces can bring people together sometimes though! Thank you for watching!
Great video, please do more.. I am thinking of moving November/December time and find these types of videos helpful
Will do!
Thanks for the info. Probably will move to Dubai working in the Four seasons resort Dubai Jumeirah Beach in 2 or 3 months!!!
i love watching this videos as I'm planning myself to move to Dubai, and this is soo interesting. I have been in Dubai for a week and loved it and could def see myself there, just need to figure out how much money to bring, how to find a place to stay, work and i'm packing and moving. Your videos are super helpful and hope when I move in to meet you for coffee
Thank you so much for watching!

Great video! Moving in a couple months and this was an interesting perspective 👏🏽
Thank you for watching and good luck with your move! 🥰
In reference to your last point, I think people will assume certain things about British people in Dubai because it tends to be the party-loving, materialistic British who reside or holiday in Dubai. For example, a British musician who loves poetry etc ... that's not the type who will move to Dubai. They will either stay in Britain or maybe move to Berlin
I mean this if you feel prejudice from other Dubai locals
It bears mentioning in Jul/Aug and couple months before and after it is too hot for almost anything. Leaving the best idea an air conditioned space. But I hear British rule in UAE so go ahead and enjoy. Hot weather is small price to pay considering the opportunities and possibilities for a British in Dubai.
Moved here 3 months ago and missing home so much! Dubai certainly not big on recycling. Brunch I haven’t done but the food here is just not the same as back home… is it also just me or are people lazy here because basic services are so cheap? Like washing your car, cutting your own grass if you have any, cleaning your house ect. I’m trying really hard to see what I actually like about Dubai, and honestly the only thing I enjoy is the safety, clean public transport and quick government services
No they are lazy! The idea they don’t do that much but hire abs abuse maids to do their basic work for them us mind boggling! They do nothing and all they do is shop shop shop and pile on the weight get sick with diabetes and die young! Working out 🏋️♂️ or cycling I understand the weather can’t permit that , but one can in the cooler winter months, is not a thing there! Only the expats do that! They abuse their workers. Money is the god that they worship
Hi I’m from Jamaica and I’m planning on moving to Dubai next year
british! i think. im north of seattle and i meet people from across the pond. dont forget about your family! they miss you. i know this as a family member who has had people move away
On one hand I'm hearing "Oh Dubai is so safe, great, fun etc." then I watch these other videos that tell stories of women being jailed and blamed for being brutally raped, drinking alcohol, for greeting a man with a kiss on the cheek etc. and that low wage workers are treated as slaves. So is Dubai super amazing or is Dubai a shiny fun trap that takes away your rights and freedoms once you make one innocent mistake?
There is a lot of modern slavery in dubai which is awful. I have never known anyone arrested for anything you mentioned though I know western media has these stories in the past. I have heard of drug related arrests however but if you follow the rules I would say you’ll have no issue at all. 👍😊 it is super amazing though everyone will experience it differently I’m sure just like any country or city
Thank you for watching 😊
Nice video, do people there struggle to interact like making friends and relationships ?
Hi! I think actually it’s one of the easiest places in the world to make friends, because there’s so many expats everyone is looking for new friends and very welcoming 🤗
Whose the handbag designed by?
I’m coming to uae to live to do business here so I need to know what do you mean by recycling in palm jumairah you are working
lovely video Mabel. that is so interesting to hear, such a shame that they don't do much for environmental issues at a small scale yet they are so proud that they have built a sustainable city. xxx
I agree! I expect it will get better soon. Thank you for watching!
Mabel the recycling really upset’s me, I hated not recycling my rubbish while I was in Dubai. The country is so advanced in so many things but when it comes to recycling it rubbish!!!
Me too! I hope it improves soon!
Mable what are the small business opportunities in small scale investment in UAE in day to day to life necessities?
Good work keep it up Appreciated
Can u do shopping vlog
I have been searching for a job in Dubai and I seen a couple of which was paying 4000 aed per month, is that an ok salary to live in Dubai?
Hi! I think 10,000+ is a good starter salary if you want to live on your own
we miss you Mabel xxx Mum and Nora
Miss you too guys!
Watching today
Did you move back to the UK & then back to Dubai?
No I didn’t move to UK
whats ur age? i really want to leave the uk too, im 27 right now and studying soi have 3 more years left. sometimes i feel too old but its been my dream to leave the uk lol
Hey! I’m 22, but honestly I’m a baby! Most people I meet out and about in dubai are 27+. Lots of people move over for work so I would say don’t let that put you off! Although I would say expect to meet quite a few 35+ year olds who act ten years younger 🤣 not a bad thing! My advice just go for it, you can always change your mind and go back. You’ll regret not trying it!
@@mabelgoulden872 🥺 I’m 22 too and I’m thinking about moving to Dubai too.
@@Jessica-li2ib do it!! My advice to anyone is you only regret what you don’t do. It might seem scary but if you take the leap, you’ll either love it or you can go home, nothing is permanent so take the chance! ❤️
@@mabelgoulden872 yes
@Good For Nutting haha. That’s funny! Thanks for watching!
You should do more videos speaking to the camera!! Thank you for your honesty darling! 🤍
Thank you for watching! 💗 I will do more!
Honesty? For real?
Interesting video. Wish you would touch your hair less often while filming though, it can get a little distracting
What do you do for a living?
Social media marketing 😃
How were you able to move to dubai at 19?
I got offered a job here :)
I love dubai east or west dubai is the best
dont you miss christmas?
Lol
sweety i need some info about your uae experience reply me asap plz
I’m just saying from the point of view of someone that’s been in the military. None of those things sound that bad or intolerable.
They are totally tolerable and I agree not bad at all in comparison to other countries! I like living here a lot 🤗
Lack of Nature? Greens? Waterfalls...
No need to touch your hair every 10 seconds. It is really distracting to the actual content.
10000 views and you’re the first to mention it! I’d try closing your eyes next time 😊
*in dubai touching her hair in public potentially 20 years in jail? So while indoors she has no choice* 🤣
I miss you 😘😘😘😘😘💋💋💋💋💋💋
Why did u move to Dubai? If you miss your family
For my job and a new experience 😊
S E E if you can go ten seconds without tossing your hair around. You won't be living in dubai much longer if you keep calling them wasteful and comparing them negatively with the uk,,,And no, not every one lives luxuiriously, the phillipino and indian and bangladeshi service workers arent and they make up a huge percentage of the populous
Thank you for watching and engaging with my growing channel 😁
No downsides then, good.
We Arabs should do more to be better.
No-one gets drunk on yachts all the time 🤣,
Honestly brits in dubai do 🤣
Are you British.
This has to be the most ignorant video I have ever seen. What about the fact that human rights are literally not existant in that country? (If you aren't rich). This country is bulid on modern Slavery. What about these people? But I guess it is just important to you that you can live in luxury. The audacity to talk about problems like: everything is unlimited, people make assumptions about you.... That is ridiculous.
Hi Theresa thanks for watching! Dubai has many faults I agree but I’m speaking from my personal experience only
@@mabelgoulden872 Yeah but that is the problem, you only care about what affects you and not about other people who's suffering you support
@@theresatapken9934 I don’t cover it on my channel but if you’re looking for that information you can for sure search it on CZcams for your research. Good luck 😊
@@mabelgoulden872 Mhhm my problem is that in your videos you make Dubai look like a wonderful place to life in and therefore make more people come there, even though this country really shouldn't be supported. If you live in Dubai you don't care about other peoples rights and that it just a fact.
I think you'll find a lot of governments across the world dont care about their own people's rights. Where ever we live, our taxes are probably going towards something unjust.
I want to be with you Will you be with me ...?
