People Are LEAVING DUBAI To Live Here. Is This Emirate THE FUTURE of the UAE? | New Sharjah

[@QHuda_A]

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.

🤍🤍

[@darrenstevens5692]

I feel that it is conservative but it is not super conservative like other parts of the Middle East.

[@briangibbs1976]

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

[@Lamideelizabeth]

Oh amazing! Best of luck 🥰

[@NoMadKid]

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.

[@Lamideelizabeth]

Still looking to visit RAK, surprised about the Casinos though

[@NoMadKid]

The Casino will be the biggest in the world and it will open around 2025 or 2026.

[@saradigota7201]

good vieuw on that nomadkid,how it is. How bout Qatar?

[@Godsmustbecrazi3]

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

[@Lamideelizabeth]

Oh cool!

[@iamchisquared]

LOOL 😂 just got back from Sharjah! I had such a lovely time!! Yes it’s the only dry state, more traditional & notably more conservative

[@Lamideelizabeth]

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

[@zachary3603]

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

[@AbdulazeezSule-w4e]

That's really cool. I use to live in Sharjah

[@petersmith2040]

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.

[@Lamideelizabeth]

A lot of companies in dubai require you to come in, it’s not as simple as just don’t go in unfortunately 😫

[@vanessaredhead3446]

Thank you for this video I also loved being in Ajman which is 30 mins from Dubai by car

[@deenapie]

Sharjah is the best!! Been living here for 22 years now as an expat; safest city I've ever been in my life (I've traveled a lot across diff continents). You can literally walk around at night alone as a woman and never have any worries, it's so peaceful and no one will bother you. Heck, you can even leave your doors unlocked with the key visibly still in the door and no one will take advantage of that lol

[@jasminekelson4990]

Thanks for sharing this, really insightful.

[@Around_the_way_finance]

Interest peak hearing the ladies running universities. Trying to figure out my masters route.

[@Lamideelizabeth]

🤍🤍

[@paulgates4083]

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..

[@Kemetique2030]

Thanks for the video 🙏🏾

[@ladyfitness67]

Thank you for sharing. I was literally looking to book a month nomad travel to Dubai this July/August

[@Lamideelizabeth]

You’ll love it - get prepared for the heat though! Those are hottest months 🥵

[@eliteenglishdictionary]

Better to go when the weather cools down in October, November, December.

[@AyyLondon]

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)

[@Lamideelizabeth]

😂😂😂

[@darrenstevens5692]

LOL! Dubai is not even half of London. Dubai is a peanut.

[@fedgraca6434]

traffic in sharjah could make the journey 2 hours long from sharjah to dubai marina

[@LadyMareshah-xk8xv]

Thank you for sharing this video! I appreciate it!

[@Lamideelizabeth]

You are so welcome! 🤍

[@zachary3603]

Arjman is also beautiful!

[@Frank_10085]

interesting video. thank you for sharing. is there a video of Abu Dhabi coming???

[@Lamideelizabeth]

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

[@Frank_10085]

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

[@darrenstevens5692]

I noticed an Abu Dhabi video earlier.

[@mawutojineku]

Beautiful. Please do Ajman abd the rest

[@ogueriviews]

This is interesting! I just love the emirates.

[@Lamideelizabeth]

It’s a cool place!

[@40_484]

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 🔥

[@faay8912]

What’s the website you used to find houses to rent please ? And what are the best sites to use 🥰

[@Lamideelizabeth]

Bayut and Property Finder x

[@sportingarenatv7495]

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.

[@Lamideelizabeth]

Thank you! & no sorry

[@sportingarenatv7495]

Ok I understand

[@akhtarmohana2999]

where were you renting in Business Bay?

[@Lamideelizabeth]

There’s a video on my channel

[@jabsdrahm.3232]

Is it normally that green??

[@MMMC-z8y]

It’s irrigated so not naturally like that.

[@homodeus8713]

Prefer the conservative feel of Sharja

[@Lamideelizabeth]

Each to their own ☺️

[@darrenstevens5692]

It's just little more conservative but not really conservative compared to other parts of the Middle East.

[@Hanifmv]

Like arriving at the Sharjah airport. Reminds me of some very good old days. People are also very nice at the airport

[@darrenstevens5692]

Back in the good old days Sharjah was smaller.. people were friendlier.

[@ladi1212]

I'm struggling to understand why Sharjah is so expensive. Even comparable to Dubai and Abu Dhabi with less choice and more restrictions.

[@Lamideelizabeth]

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

[@darrenstevens5692]

Because over the years it has been becoming more and more populated.

[@Car-guy307]

Which is the cheapest place to live in the UAE

[@Lamideelizabeth]

Not sure, probably one of the less popular cities, most places outside of Dubai and Abu Dhabi would be relatively cheap

[@timekademery]

Gorgeous little lady!

[@Mat1wa]

Hi which website was that you searched those villas please may i ask, was it zoopla?

[@michaelj3282]

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.

[@msvee1320]

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.

[@Nazarene_Judaism]

Maybe Africa should build places like this .....

[@Lamideelizabeth]

They definitely should

[@Nazarene_Judaism]

Annnddd they won't. lol

[@darrenstevens5692]

Africa already has places like this .. are you ignorant? Just go to Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritius.

[@Nazarene_Judaism]

@@darrenstevens5692 I'm talking about backward black Africa. Not civilised parts of Africa ran by Arabs.

[@davidicusb]

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.

[@darrenstevens5692]

Yeah but a lot of people still manage to find alcohol there.. I think ras al khamiah is more tourist friendly.

[@davidicusb]

@@darrenstevens5692 I'm sure you can find it. The real problem comes if & when you are caught with it.

[@stephymeissenheimer-foster8169]

Thank GOD it’s dry…it’s wonderful to raise children in an environment that is conservative. 🎉❤

[@expertradesx]

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.

[@manni192]

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?

[@expertradesx]

@@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

[@manni192]

@@expertradesx 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.

[@expertradesx]

@@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.

[@divyv20]

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 ?

[@manuelregiment]

❤🇬🇭🇬🇭

[@manni192]

No thanks, feels more like the Indian subcontinent

[@Lamideelizabeth]

Are you talking about the UAE in general or Sharjah?

[@manni192]

Sharjah. Dubai felt much more diverse

[@darrenstevens5692]

Dubai is more International. Many people just live in Sharjah because they are low income earners normally..

[@Moose-wj8sc]

It’s best to keep people like you in one area.

[@alexnevermind2764]

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???

[@DrAminaYonis]

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.

[@Lamideelizabeth]

How exactly do you expect regular people to make it a place worth staying? 🤔

[@MMMC-z8y]

The root problem is corruption and no average Joe is a match for that. You will chase your tail trying to fight it.

[@Test-bd6rq]

@@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

[@darrenstevens5692]

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..

[@mohammedsharif916]

One can work in Dubai live in Sharjah that's what most people do

[@BullSheet-ut5xw]

Everyone knows about shariah bye
