Dubai: The Safest Place To Live During Covid

Are you looking for the safest place to stay as a traveling digital nomad if you are then listen up because i’m going to tell you all about why dubai is the safest place for us to be right now so for those of you that don’t know dubai handled the crisis and the
pandemic really really well they have very very strict rules around going out and when they were in self-isolation you could not go out more than one person at a time without showing a certificate and as a result the way they handled it they have got very low rates of infection however that is not the only reason why i think that dubai is the number one place to be right now so first of all they have amazing hospitals first-class healthcare and if you’re going to be anywhere where a global pandemic comes you for sure want to be in a country that can treat you if you do get ill and if you get the right health insurance and travel cover it means that you’re going to have first-class health care whenever you need it the second reason that i really do think that you’re in safe place if you go to dubai is that when people are traveling right now they are going to the doctor getting a blood test or a swab test to clarify that they don’t have covid and then they’re traveling and that will allow them to get into the country that they’re going to because they can prove that they don’t have the virus however dubai have taken a extra layer of protection on this plan so when you arrive in dubai they will take your doctor’s certificate they will look to see that it’s valid and then on top of it they will carry
out their own tests to make sure that from the time that you had the test versus today that you don’t have the virus and then on top of that of course if some people have made up their certificate it rules out all of the fraudulent side of it as well so they’re really really super strict on getting in the country which means that they’re protecting it really really well the third reason is that the prices have gone down if you are booking through a hotel
you will probably see that prices don’t
look like they’ve changed very much
however
when i was living in dubai we were
paying for a one bed flat
around three thousand pounds a month
which of course on an english wage or
a european wage feels like too much
money however
right now if you go on airbnb i’m seeing
really nice apartments in the best part
of dubai tamira beach residence which is
right on the beach in the touristy area
for 12 to 1800 pounds a month including
all of your bills and everything
so if you think about it that is a
really good deal if you are going to go
to a hot spot like tulum
in mexico which is where a lot of other
name ads are going at the moment
you’re going to pay about 900 pounds a
month for a luxury villa
when you compare it sure you can get
more room but if you look at your
surroundings you’re putting yourself in
a safer place and it’s really
not costing that much more the next
thing that you can do is get the
entertainer app on your phone
so it costs around 50 pounds to get but
once you have it you can eat out for 50
off in loads and loads of restaurants
and bars which means as a nomad
you can travel around enjoy it all at a
real fraction of the cost
and the fifth reason of course is that
they have amazing
wi-fi everywhere literally wherever you
go
if you’re in the malls they’re
restaurants even on the beach
they have wi-fi so you can just work i
know jake
i’ve been on my sun lounger in bali with
my laptop when the sun’s saying just
doing my work and thinking oh my god i
can’t believe this is my life
and i highly recommend that you guys try
it because it’s really liberating and
it’s cool
and then of course this is the sixth
reason which is when you’re in nomad
part of the journey is meeting people
and settling
and finding friends that are new friends
and they’re like travel friends
and when you’re in dubai it’s full of
expats you all you have to do is go to a
gym class and you’ve made a best friend
for life
literally so one of the reasons that i
love being there is that you can just go
to any class you can meet a group of
people
and then you’ve got people to hang out
with pretty much from the moment you
decide to do that
and number seven and a i’m kind of
linking them together
is of course it’s sunny so i’m british i
had to leave bali so that i could go on
lock down in cornwall at my parents
house which was beautiful in the summer
but winter’s coming and i just don’t
want to be stuck in a cold country
during winter so
i’m determined that i’m going to be
traveling once again and dubai is sunny
but you know in the winter
it’s only sort of 27 to 30 degrees so
honestly it’s not too hot
and the the pro of that is that you’re
then going out and you’re getting
vitamin d in your skin which of course
has been well publicized by all the
doctors because
vitamin d is very good for preventing
you from getting covered so
it’s a win-win and that does roll on
very very nicely
into 0.9 which is about aircon now of
course
it’s very easy to spread a virus when
you’re all breathing through the same
aircon unit and yes
dubai is full of aircon and flats and
malls and restaurants all with air con
on however
when it’s winter you don’t need the air
con on and
um something if you do get too hot that
i sometimes do
you can buy a plug-in fan from the local
supermarket and then just use a fan in
the building and then
you’re not breathing in and circulating
air conditioning air
and number 10 your visa lasts for 30
days so you really don’t need to move
around that much which makes it super
safe
so you can go there do your 30 days
because your weekend trip come back to
the country
and your 30 days will start up again
which makes it ideal for nomadic life
and then on top of that you need to
remember that you’ll be outside doing
outdoor activities which is
better for you because you’re outside
and you’re not indoors
breathing other people’s air in so if
you are a digital nomad and you’re
thinking where am i going to go right now i highly recommend dubai i’ve been on a lot of forums and looking at where i should be going because i was thinking right i’ve got to be moving on now winter’s coming and i love the idea of tilium in mexico but let’s just be honest mexico at the moment haven’t handled the pandemic very well so i’m not 100 sure that i would feel safe there it’s also not got the facilities that dubai has got if something was to happen and you just don’t know at this stage what’s going on so highly recommend it if you aren’t a nomad and you’re thinking of becoming a nomad then you’d
definitely be in the right place because i teach
