My honest thoughts about Dubai after living here for 2 months

from Get Real with Jasmin · host Jasmin Pan

Hi, I recently moved to Dubai, and let’s just say… it’s been a wild ride. 😳 From unexpected luxuries to things that straight-up confused me, I’ve experienced some serious culture shocks in my first two months here. So today, I’m giving you my brutally honest, unfiltered thoughts about Dubai—no sugarcoating, just real talk. Some things totally blew my mind (McDonald's table service?! 🚨), while others made life way harder than expected (why does everything require 10 fingerprints?! 😭). And don’t even get me started on delivery culture, giant malls, and phone calls from the post office.  So whether you’re thinking about moving to Dubai, just curious about life here, or love a good expat rant—this one’s for you! 🇦🇪 【Get Real with Jasmin’s Podcast】 🎧Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-real-with-jasmin/id1772832530  🎧Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4DPFQd7tNvkWONndkaZCB0 Want more of the real stuff?
