9 Misconceptions People Have About Dubai And The People Who Live Here

Avatar

We’re just a bit sick and tired of listening to all the ridiculous things people think and say about Dubai. How we all drive sports cars, have private swimming pools full of cash money. Ok, some people might, but for the average Joe out here…it’s just not like that. 

Here are some of the most common misconceptions people make, we dare you to tag (name and shame) the friends who have made these comments…so they don’t make the same mistake again.

1. That we’re all absolutely minted

2. That we live in places like this…
