Is Dubai still safe? – level 1

30-04-2026 07:00

Dubai is a very big and beautiful city. It has many tall buildings and many tourists. People go there because it is safe. They can make a lot of money there.

But now there is a war nearby. Some rockets and drones hit the city. This is a big change. Some people are afraid. They want to go home to their families. Many people from other countries live in Dubai. They like the city because it is new and exciting. But most people there do not come from Dubai. Many workers build the city. Their life is very hard. They work for little money. Some tourists do not like this.

Dubai is a place for big dreams and new ideas. People want to know if the city is safe for business. Everyone is waiting for the war to stop.

Difficult words: nearby (not far away), exciting (what makes you happy and interested), dream (something what you want to happen very much).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What change in circumstances made some people in the city afraid and eager to return to their families?
