Hi guys, welcome to the city of Dubai. Some... Man, it's hot. Some interesting facts. It's the largest city in the UAE.
The most important commercial and financial center of the entire Middle East. Located on the shores of the Persian Gulf. It was founded in 1833. The area is 3,885 square kilometers.
Population - 3.5 million people. But that's just facts from Wikipedia. If you have not been here - these phrases will seem much more interesting to you: Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.
Dubai Mall, the largest shopping mall in the world. Artificial islands, highways in the desert, and other interesting things. Rocket Man.
Dubai Police (Yes, this is the real Dubai Police), and of course Emirates airline with its luxurious first class seats. Well, as you've noticed and many of you know very well, this is one of the hottest cities in the world. Right now, in June, it's +44 Celsius. And in July and August it can be 50... I even get tears in my eyes from the heat. How can that be?
And in July and August it can be 50 and even higher. And yes, that's when construction is going on, skyscrapers are being built, work is going on. Now, of course, there aren't many people, but in general people live here. And in the summer, too. So, right now, this city and this country is one of the most popular destinations for people from the CIS. Both for a temporary visit and for permanent residence.
What are the prices here? First of all on gadgets (after all, we are a channel about gadgets) - today we'll see. Let's call a taxi, and go to the Dubai Mall. The biggest mall in the world. Ah, what a releif. It's really VERY hot here, and no shorts...
Yes, I'm in pants, but no shorts help. Pants, shorts, it doesn't matter. Above 40 Celsius makes no difference. That's actually why it's like this. That's a good idea, by the way. There's also these umbrellas on your head... So, let's call a taxi, UBER. Everything works, a foreign credit card is linked, we're ready. Can't see a thing.
Such sunshine that the maximum brightness of the iPhone is absolutely not enough. This is how you can see. We call the cheapest UBER that we have here. It's 35 dirhams for 18 minutes. The Lexus ES is coming to us, which is the cheapest economy that is here.
Something cheaper and worse than the Lexus ES in UBER is not available here. - What kind of earnings can be called good for a taxi driver in Dubai? How much can you earn as a driver? - I make 4,000 to 4,500 dirhams a month. - Is this your car? - No, it's a rented car. I get 35% commission for it. - 35%? - Yeah.
- How much is the fuel? - Fuel is expensive these days. 4.02 Dirhams a liter. - Okay, thank you. - Can I ask you where are you from? - I am from Pakistan. - From Pakistan? - Yes.

It is one of the most beautiful Apple Stores in the world. Its panoramic windows with curved panes of glass overlook the Dubai fountains. - Ah, the mask? All right.

- From Uzbekistan? Beautiful country. Let's go. Well, tell me how you are here. How long have you been here? - Yes. I've been living here for a long time, eight years now. I used to be in logistics, but I recently changed direction. Now we're in marketing.
- We are very interested in places where smartphones and other electronics are bought in bulk and then sent to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan... - Here, in general, this whole market is full of phones... - Is it possible to buy 200 used iPhones here? Transport them to Almaty and sell them by the piece? - No problem. - Anyway, do you like it here? - I like it very much. Because you can see the color around here, right? - Thank you.
- Here's a good example. They come up to you, they ask you, they offer you something. - Oh, look! They got it all! - Come in and ask. - How much is the PS5? - Hello, how can I help you? - Hi there. - How are you? How's your mood? - Yeah, it'll get better if you give me a good price for a PS5. - Yeah, sure. - How much is the PS5? - 2,380 Dirhams.
- 2380? The lowest price? - The lowest. Wholesale price. - That's wholesale? - What if you buy 100 of them? - I just told you the wholesale price... Well, there's a $5 discount I'll give you. Because that only leaves us with two or three percent.
- 2-3%? Do you have 100 in stock? - Of course I do. - Do you? - Yeah. - I look for people on Telegram if I'm shipping to Kazakhstan. Through fellow travelers, through groups. In Dubai there are Kazakh groups, special groups that have people with tickets to Kazakhstan, I negotiate with them.
We take a passport photo and his data, for a certain amount of money, of course... - Well, it's a piecemeal thing. Not 100 in a bulk. - Well, if he's selling his "luggage place".
There are people who sell their luggage place, you can... 20, 30 kilos are allowed. - Yeah. - And these 20-30 kilos, you can load the Playstation in your luggage for us and we'll pay you.
And that's it, you leave, no problem. - That's interesting. - Where are you from, if that's not a secret? - I'm from Dushanbe, Tajikistan. - It's a nice city. - Here is our card, please take it.
- Thank you. - Hardware, anything, wholesale prices, retail prices - please. Write in, get in touch. - Thank you very much. Pleased to meet you. - Likewise. - Okay. Kim. Thank you. - So, we agreed to buy 100 Sony Playstations.
- It's not a problem here at all. - And deliver to Almaty. - That's cool. - Here, suitcases. 55 AED. - Yeah, very cheap. And here, look, a flea market.
- Yeah, you can get all kinds of stuff here. - Gucci! And here's Adidas! They've got everything! Right here on the street. - The main question. How much do you have to earn to live normally in Dubai? - It's a tricky question. It's different for everyone.
The more you earn, the more demands you have. - Well, what's the average? - Well, I think from $3,000. - Well, that's quite a lot. - Well, that's considered an average wage here. Here's the store, our guys are here. I buy from them all the time. - Isn't there a bigger selection over there? - Here too, yeah.
- Hello - Hello brother - You need to sell a service like that. - Yes. - How much for...? - What model are you talking about? There's an iPhone 8, and there's a 7. - What color is that? - Eight, 128 GB. - Can I see it? - Yeah.
- Is it new? - It's new. With 1 year warranty. - This is the seventh iPhone, right? The iPhone 7, 256GB. - Yeah. - How much is it? - 800 dirhams. - How about 100 of these? - You need 100 of these? - Well, could you find 100? - Yes. For 700 each. - 700? Sounds good.
- Oh, that's a discount already? - Yes, 100 dirhams off. - Hello. - Good afternoon. - How do you do? Russian? English? - Yes, speak Russian, no problem. - Can I... Do you have an elevator? - Elevator. - Where to? - We have a warehouse upstairs. - A warehouse? Really?
Oh, cool! Ooh! Nice! That's a good one! Can I get one, too? - New iPhones in any quantity and any model can be arranged. - And how much cheaper than the Apple Store will be? - Than the Apple Store? - Yes, in percentage terms. - Let me give you a simple example. - I have a Pro Max 256 green Pro for 4400. In the Apple Store it costs 5200.
800 AED difference. That's $220. - Is that the price you can sell it for? - Yes, we can sell it for that price, and it's got an official one-year warranty from Apple. - And if it's no secret, where do you get your smartphones from? How does that work? - Well, Apple sells their product in official stores. And they include the price of store rentals in the price. And that's very expensive. And we buy directly from dealers who take the smartphones from the factory. We buy 500, 1,000 at a time. Because of that, the price is lower.
- Well, that's a big difference. What is the name of your store? - Our store is called "Magnet". - Magnet? - And our company is named Amidu.
- We have an outlet in the free zone as well, we sell wholesale there. - That's great. We recorded it, we'll leave a link in the video description. Thank you so much for your time. - Have a great day. - Thank you, and you. Guys, what more to say? First of all, thank you for watching this big episode.
We thought you'd be interested to see the full picture of prices in Dubai. By the way, we didn't tell you about the apartment rentals. The guys just told us, $1000 to rent a two-bedroom apartment minimum, plus $300 utilities and internet. Not cheap, of course, but that is the price. We don't specifically recommend anything.
It's up to you to come here and buy yourself a new iPhone, or come and buy 1000, with a shopping cart as a gift, and roll it all up to the airport and try to take it away - it's your own business. Keep in mind, we don't specifically recommend anything to you. But the prices are really impressive. The discounts are substantial... - I'm your subscriber! - You're watching our channel? Thanks, bro. Another subscriber met.
Waiting for your comment, hello from Dubai. 41 Celsius (it was even 44 today) in June. And 50 in July. Keep that in mind when you're packing. And shorts instead of pants won't save you - it's always hot here. But interesting. Looking forward to your comments, see you, bye!
