Entrepreneurs are leaving the UK in record numbers - and many of them are heading to Dubai. But is it really the tax-free paradise people claim, or just another overhyped billionaire playground?

In this episode we fly to Dubai to find out what’s actually going on. From multimillionaire founders and property developers to ex-Special Forces leader Ollie Ollerton, we speak to the people building businesses and new lives in one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. They reveal the truth about the opportunities, the costs, the mindset and why thousands of entrepreneurs are choosing Dubai over the UK.

From billionaires and beach clubs to startup founders chasing opportunity, this is a raw look inside the city that’s becoming the global hub for ambition.

Lovely place if you don't like trivial things like freedom of speech, elections, women's rights, race equality, human rights, but hey there's no tax and it's sunny..great stuff.

Honestly can't belive anyone thinks that place is good. Just scratch the surface of the place and find out what it is what it stands for and what it's it's doing. Its a dangerous place

The UK might not have Dubai’s skyscrapers or year-round sunshine, but it has things money can’t build. Rolling green countryside, ancient forests, rugged coastlines and four beautiful seasons that transform the landscape throughout the year. Wildlife lives alongside us too, from hedgehogs and foxes to deer in misty morning fields.
There’s also a freedom in everyday life, the simple ability to hold someone’s hand, show affection, speak openly and be yourself. Add to that the NHS, caring for people regardless of wealth, and a history woven through castles, villages and centuries-old streets.
Dubai has luxury and spectacle. The UK has nature, seasons, wildlife, freedom and a society built on shared care. 🌿🇬🇧

If you paid £50 for coffee and omelette, is that not really a hidden stealth tax?

I lived in Dubai for 10 years, I sold properties which shapes the Dubai skylines. I'm back in the UK now until it's safe to return. God Bless Dubai.

Those workers are living like slaves I've seen videos of where they live and it's worse than a prison. Hundreds of men with 5 or 6 to one open room and no bathroom. 1 set of toilets for hundreds of people. Dubai is ok if you are rich but the other side of Dubai is rarely shown on screen.

Excellent documentary. Shame the Middle East didn’t check the upload schedule first. Keep an eye out for those safe Iranian missile and drone attacks.
