Inside Dubai: Playground of the Rich - BBC

[Restless Native]

Dubai seems like a place that people who want to give off the image of being rich go, but the genuinely wealthy never go there. I only ever see z listers and pretenders there. Granted, you'll see a few high level athletes there, but you never catch the likes of Richard Branson and co there. Seems like Ibiza in the middle east, but without women being able to walk around in bikinis.

It looks boring AF to me

I’ll give you another perspective if Dubai - yes it’s a playground for the rich a little like Monaco however there are many that live here and live normal lives just like we would in the UK.
Most of the expats who live here found the show vulgar and not at all why real life is all about.

I don't get the appeal of going there on holiday - is it just to go shopping? The poor treatment of immigrant workers and complete lack of history doesn't make me want to go at all.

Wouldnt go there in a million years

Saw a bit of the first episode last night, glad everyone thought that child was a complete brat!

Watched this, child was a brat alright.
Her mum was a pain in the arse.
Dubai just looks like a very false place to live but agree the extravagance was sickening (even though I appreciate people can do what they want with their money).
