- Today, I am visiting Sharjah one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. In my experience Sharjah does not have the best reputation amongst expats but this experience might change your mind.

Sharjah has been my favourite city since I was six years old visiting my mom's side of the family. Sharjah is only a new discovery for Western expats. It's a beautiful, family-oriented old city ruled by a more conservative and welcoming Sheikh. It's also a UNESCO-protected city (hence why it's the greenest city in the UAE). You can literally walk around at 3 am and feel completely safe.
🤍🤍
I feel that it is conservative but it is not super conservative like other parts of the Middle East.
Happy to see some content about Sharjah, I'll be moving there soon for a job opportunity and have been trying to do some research
Oh amazing! Best of luck 🥰
Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.
Basically each emirate provides something different.
Dubai is more international, touristic, consumer friendly.
Abu Dhabi is very pro scientific and AI research.
Sharjah is the family and conservatism hub.
Ras Al Khaima is for resorts and casinos now.
Still looking to visit RAK, surprised about the Casinos though
The Casino will be the biggest in the world and it will open around 2025 or 2026.
good vieuw on that nomadkid,how it is. How bout Qatar?
LOOL 😂 just got back from Sharjah! I had such a lovely time!! Yes it’s the only dry state, more traditional & notably more conservative
Which parts did you visit?! I was only around new Sharjah so I think I might go back for the beach and stuff but not sure if it’s worth it
I actually love the fact it's dry tbh. The amount of times all my "benefits" on holiday are just free booze.. I don't drink xD
Interest peak hearing the ladies running universities. Trying to figure out my masters route.
🤍🤍
Went American uni in Sharjah and yes there’s sharia law there. It’s actually nice. U have the factory outlet as well. From what I see here it’s changed a lot ain’t been there since 2007
Oh cool!
Prefer the conservative feel of Sharja
Each to their own ☺️
It's just little more conservative but not really conservative compared to other parts of the Middle East.
Thank you for this video I also loved being in Ajman which is 30 mins from Dubai by car
Arjman is also beautiful!
That's really cool. I use to live in Sharjah
interesting video. thank you for sharing. is there a video of Abu Dhabi coming???
Yes there is, I wasn’t going to post it as I don’t feel like it’s my best work but I think I’ll just put it out anyways
Yes, Looking forward to that video.
I think an uploaded video which is not perfect is better then a "none uploaded video". Don't be to self critical. You do a great job :-) It will help your YT channel anyway and will provide good information for other people as well. Kind regards
I noticed an Abu Dhabi video earlier.
❤🇬🇭🇬🇭
Thank you for sharing. I was literally looking to book a month nomad travel to Dubai this July/August
You’ll love it - get prepared for the heat though! Those are hottest months 🥵
Better to go when the weather cools down in October, November, December.
What’s the website you used to find houses to rent please ? And what are the best sites to use 🥰
Bayut and Property Finder x
now i know what peterborough would look like in the sun. so..if you're a social pariah in need of a good library then u know where to go..
How does one find courage to show face n make content. Man i want to do some stuff in online space but dread the camera n ish. Ur content is 🔥
Beautiful. Please do Ajman abd the rest
Thanks for the video 🙏🏾
One can work in Dubai live in Sharjah that's what most people do
Thanks for sharing this, really insightful.
RAK is more tourist and expat friendly especially with the upcoming opening of the Wynn Casino Resort in the area. If you hate the traffic jam in Dubai, work from home and don’t drive to work in Dubai, RAK is the ideal location to reside in the UAE.
A lot of companies in dubai require you to come in, it’s not as simple as just don’t go in unfortunately 😫
New subbie here loving the content

Gorgeous little lady!
Which is the cheapest place to live in the UAE
Not sure, probably one of the less popular cities, most places outside of Dubai and Abu Dhabi would be relatively cheap
Is it normally that green??
It’s irrigated so not naturally like that.
Thank you for sharing you are very good at what you do please do you know agencies that help people get jobs in the US from Nigeria.
Thank you! & no sorry
Ok I understand
Thank you for sharing this video! I appreciate it!
You are so welcome! 🤍
where were you renting in Business Bay?
There’s a video on my channel
Sharja to Dubai is roughly 30 minutes apart, in my part of South London it could take 45 minutes to drive from my house to Tesco which is under 1 mile away (thanks to “low traffic neighbourhood” schemes killing london)
😂😂😂
LOL! Dubai is not even half of London. Dubai is a peanut.
Maybe Africa should build places like this .....
They definitely should
Annnddd they won't. lol
Africa already has places like this .. are you ignorant? Just go to Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritius.
@@darrenstevens5692 I'm talking about backward black Africa. Not civilised parts of Africa ran by Arabs.
This is interesting! I just love the emirates.
It’s a cool place!
I like the fact that Dubai has a low tax rate and in general the UAE but the fact that is one of the most misogynistic countries out there I would think it twice. I think women were allowed to vote just in 2006. Women are forced to cover themselves in such a hot weather. I just can't and I don't understand why women would like to move there. I'm a woman and I will never.
You need to learn to keep quiet instead of making yourself look stupid. There are no elections in the UAE so how did women get the right to vote in 2006?
@@manni192 Voting rights for women in the United Arab Emirates
The UAE is not a democracy, therefore Emiratis do not choose heads of state. Starting in 2006, however, the government began to allow men and women to vote or stand in the Federal National Council (FNC). In the years since, more people have been granted the right to vote and, in 2015, nearly a quarter of a million people took to the ballots. Interestingly, nearly half of the voters were women

@@Charlielovee so you are saying men AND women were given the right to vote in local affairs at the same time? What's misogynistic about that? Stop with your xenophobia about countries where women are not forced to walk around half naked.
@@manni192 having an opinion about something that denigrate women is not xenophobia. Why don't you check the stadistics about men killing women in arab countries because they don't wear a hijab? I also come from an arab family. Can I be allowed to have an opinion? lol.
I'm struggling to understand why Sharjah is so expensive. Even comparable to Dubai and Abu Dhabi with less choice and more restrictions.
I think it’s this particular area which is filled with the locals who are quite well off, but yeah I was also surprised with some of the prices
Because over the years it has been becoming more and more populated.
Hi which website was that you searched those villas please may i ask, was it zoopla?
Like arriving at the Sharjah airport. Reminds me of some very good old days. People are also very nice at the airport
Back in the good old days Sharjah was smaller.. people were friendlier.
Sharjah traffic is even worse than Dubai. I moved to Dubai in 2005, been here ever since, I now live in RAK, the best Emiate by far, and an hour to Tecom by the E611.
Just don't live in Al Hamra.
No thanks, feels more like the Indian subcontinent
Are you talking about the UAE in general or Sharjah?
Sharjah. Dubai felt much more diverse
Dubai is more International. Many people just live in Sharjah because they are low income earners normally..
It’s best to keep people like you in one area.
There's no way I'd live in Sharjah - especially at those prices! It's a dry-state - and there's not really anything going on there. I don't see it. Ras-Al-Khaimah would be a far more interesting alternative.
Yeah but a lot of people still manage to find alcohol there.. I think ras al khamiah is more tourist friendly.
@@darrenstevens5692 I'm sure you can find it. The real problem comes if & when you are caught with it.
Thank GOD it’s dry…it’s wonderful to raise children in an environment that is conservative. 🎉❤
Hey Lamide Elizabeth , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?
I’ve noticed you never get a real answer from an immigrant. Why isn’t she using her “skills” in her country to make it a place worth staying in???
Because if I stay in London, i’ll get my phone snatched as I walk down the street, attacked at night, low pay, dirty streets, unsafe for kids, crumbling healthcare….. and the list goes on. So, no I don’t want to fix the country, it’s not my job.
How exactly do you expect regular people to make it a place worth staying? 🤔
The root problem is corruption and no average Joe is a match for that. You will chase your tail trying to fight it.
@@DrAminaYonisthat is an exaggeration. And You and others fail to state that without a good job the UAE is not the easiest or affordable to live. There is also no citizen rights, you are different to the locals. So UAE is good for the short term not long term (I am talking from experience for both UAE and Qatar)
So yes London isn’t amazing but nor is UAE the world has good and bad everywhere. Just depends on what you need in your life
There ARE citizenship rights.. I have met many people who have married the locals or they came to the UAE back in the 1950s.. even recently some people apply for citizenship and they get it..
Everyone knows about shariah bye
