Lexus broke?

Thank you so much for sharing all those insights in your videos, they’re super helpful !!

Thanks so much for this - very helpful! The 4 quarterly cheques which are post dated, are they typically dated at beginning of quarter? Example: Renting from Jan'25 to Dec'25, so cheques have dates of 1st Jan'25, 1st April'25, 1st July'25 so on or mid of quarter is also an option? Also, what's the typical lock in period? If failed to meet, security deposit is what you forego right?

Hi love the video’s been watching them all. I just want to give a little advise on the malls in Abu Dhabi the best two in my opinion are Yas Mall and World Trade Center Mall. Been to Abu Dhabi a lot even lived in Abu Dhabi for a few months .

Hatta, Hollywood sign there’s Braşov sign also. Keep it up 👍🏻

Just wondering how much do you need a month in income to live a decent lifestyle for a family of four. I know it depends but generally ?

You should put costs of living here as a family. Most people are most concerned about that. Prob a separate video on that would be good

Have you done the breakfast at Royal Atlantis? You don’t have to be a resident and it’s incredible. Loving the videos.

Very informative please keep up the good work. Dubai is definitely what you make it. Can be flashy or lead a more normal life. We’ve enjoyed our time at Sobha Hartland but now moving further inland to a villa. More bang for your buck.

Hi, nice to see another video from you. Can you please make a video about health insurance? Specially for people who don't have an UAE employer and want to work remotely.

Hi Buddy. Im flying out to Dubai on the 26th to celebrate my sons birthday. Im also a follower of yours recently. I would love to grab a coffee and discuss your move over as I too am working on do this so your insights are valuable to me and would really appreciate your time. Im coming from the UK.

Thanks Im moving to dubai in 3 months and this is very helpful

One of the most popular reasons people from the UK move to Dubai is for the tax benefits which you did not discuss at all. After six months of being in Dubai are you both now non UK residents for tax purposes and could you explain what that looks like?

Thank you for sharing. We moved almost 5 months ago. Best thing we did.

Good video but I think the following would have been better to explain: - did you sell up in the UK and buy a place in Dubai? Are you renting? - how did you move into the place where you’re living in Dubai? - what type of work do you do and what are the job opportunities out there for anyone wanting to relocate with family? - what are your rough monthly expenses running a family, paying for gas/elec etc over there? - have you signed up to any health care? Many have been to Dubai to visit on holiday but those wanting to move from the UK to Dubai or Abu Dhabi, what are the initial steps you took?

What camera do you use? It’s amazing! Can’t wait to watch later tonight

Your videos have been so informative! Thanks for sharing, we’re making the move out there later this year. Can you guys recommended a good visa company to help process visas? It feels like a bit of a minefield!! I’ve heard such mixed things about some companies xx

Best app for driving in Dubai and UAE is Waze, it tells you where speed cameras are, roadworks, traffic jams, and which lanes to move into for exits etc 🙂

Recently relocated to Dubai in December, Coffee sounds great 👍🏻

Don't be gay, or do gay things.

My husband and I moved here 20 years ago with a 5 and 8 year old. They grew up here and we don't regret a thing. We had never lived overseas before this move and were very naive. Financially watch your money not only with spending but also especially if Investment companies try to badger you into investing with them. There are many sharks over here who prey on new expats. We got bitten badly and speak from experience! Generally though life has been amazing over here. Children are much safer here than the UK. They do lose friend groups more easily here though as everyone leaves eventually and that can be hard for your kids. Again speak from experience. I wish I hadn't sold our property in the UK and had rented it out. That was a mistake. We didnt buy here as the build quality is so bad and most property is not Freehold, therefore, the land is never your own. Schools are expensive and vary massively in how good they are. We got education and rent as part of our employment package 20 years ago and still get rent to this day and you need that as part of your employment package although that's rarer these days. Rent prices are crazy. The first year living here is very costly. People have no idea when they come on holiday and then want to live here how much their wallet will take a hit to set up everything.

Hi guys hope u good, can you pls tell me how much money I Need per calendar month for family of four to live like yourselves🎉TNX

Hi guys, Should have seen our excitement this evening when we saw your video show up on our RUclips… again. We did miss the content. We currently live in Melbourne Australia and are coming to Dubai later this year. Plan for now is to stay for 6 months. We find ourselves relating so much to your content!!! Keep up the great work guys!!

I'm relocating to Dubai this September with my wife and two year old. Your channel has been super helpful with solid advice. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Thanks for the info, but can you comment on what’s it like living in an Islamic country?

Excellent, informative video. Please keep it up

👍

Love it!

Im not a racist, but why are white people from the UK and Western countries wanting to move to muslim majority countries in the Middle East when you dont like Muslims? i dont get it. Please do reply

Great to see you back! Just settling in to watch!! 🫶

What are the services charges like for your building. Happy 6 months!! 🎉

I love your videos, but please do more of them 😊🙏🏼

I am visiting Hartland international school and Sobha Hartlands when we visit next month based on your videos so thanks for all the great info you have provided. I am a little worried about the school fees though as I worked out fees at that school would be around 39k gbp for my three children!! What am I missing? 🙈 xxx

Great, I'll be watching this with the Mrs later! Need all the tips and insight before our arrival in June!

Your traffic fines are likely to be for crossing the yellow lines at exits/entries to the highway… particularly on SZR.

Hi. I’ve commented on a previous video so forgive me for asking a similar question to my original one. We’re considering moving to Dubai in the future but cannot find anyone on RUclips talking about the “rules” of living in Dubai but keeping a home in the U.K. It’s been suggested that we give up U.K. residency (not citizenship) but then we can only stay/work in the U.K. for a number of days apparently, do you know of this rule? I’m also concerned that as we will no longer be residents we aren’t entitled to insurances on our home/car/life etc etc. again can you put my mind at rest with regards to this, the small print says very clearly that I need to reside in the U.K. to have these insurances. A few answers to these sorts of questions would really help. There’s probably a whole ex pat forum out there that actually answers everything I’m desperate to know about but I’m struggling to find it.

we have been here 5 months and its gone so fast!

great advice! is Rileys arm ok?

Hi mate we are in Dubai and landed just after Christmas. Your content has really helped us out. More than happy to meet up. Sorry about what happened.

Not in Dubai but just to say that I find your vulnerability really brave and refreshing. There are so many lonely people that live in big cities and if they all made posts like this then the loneliness crisis would be solved. Respect to you ☺️

I've attributed 1500 gbp per month for the grocery shop, 750gbp for eating out and 1000gbp for adhoc activities, what do u think? We're 2 adults and 3 kids from a food only perspective, do you think this is doable?

Definitely recommend going to visit the other Emirates Specially while the weather is good 😊

well done Alex, great decision , you are now free as a bird

Thank you for the vlogs. My favourite family to watch in Dubai. Relocating with my family soon. And if we see you we will definitely say hi and get an autograph and photos with our favourite Dubai family.

Great to see a new video! Thanks for sharing your experiences and insights about Dubai. I do have a few questions around schooling if that's ok? After six months, what's your view on the school? Would you say it’s equivalent to a good UK public school? I've heard extracurricular activities can be quite costly and school time ends quite early so wondering how do you guys arrange kid's time after school? Many thanks!

These mini vlogs are really good. But I am also missing your longer vlogs.

Loving these little vids! Thanks for sharing

Congratulations 🎉

Well done, guys! Congrats 😊
