Are people in Dubai really that rich? What is the real life of ordinary people in Dubai?

1. Dubai is also divided into poor areas and rich areas. Not everyone is rich in every place. If it is the local population in Dubai, they are indeed rich.

2 Portraits of life in Dubai:

1. There are vending machines and poor relief stations, but there are very few.

2. I have never seen a luxury car or a police car. It should be very rare.

3. It is true that rich people keep leopards, but they usually play with them at home and do not go out on the streets.

4. It’s true that the tip is high. It depends on who gave it. Wen Yali once had a bowl of home-cooked noodles by a Chinese chef at Qixing, and the tip was 10,000 yuan off. Generally, it is 10%.

5. Most of the taxis in Dubai are Toyota, and the interior configuration of the car is indeed very good. Luxury car rentals are usually booked over the phone, and it is rare to see someone wearing a hat on the road.

6. Many people’s understanding of Dubai is due to exaggerated publicity, and they feel that it is a waste of money and extravagance. In fact, aside from its luxurious appearance, Dubai is just a normal city.

The reason why Dubai is rich:

Dubai is rich because of its special geographical location: Dubai is the best seaport in the Gulf, while many other oil-producing countries have to start from Dubai Port exports oil and imports other commodities. Dubai makes its fortune from trade and logistics, a bit like Singapore.

Dubai has a population of 2.46 million. However, less than 20% of Dubai's population is native-born Emiratis, and the rest are immigrants. Half of the wealth in Dubai is real, and the other half is tainted by the domestic media.

The gap between the rich and the poor in Dubai is huge, and it can be roughly divided into four levels:

The first level is the native Emirati, the wealthy class, who are rich and show off their wealth;

The second layer is white people who work in management or professional and technical jobs, they are the high-paying class;

The third layer is the immigrants who work in the service industry and live a well-off life;

The fourth level is the bottom workers, mainly Indians and Pakistanis, and their lives are relatively difficult.
