Emirati Dream
House of the Horses, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Akram is a Pakistani immigrant in Dubai, an Emirate in UAE in which immigrants takes a huge 80 % chunk of total population. He came to Dubai for the Emirati Dream with his wife and baby daughter in 1996, and things have been going well until a few years ago. A massive influx of recent immigrants means he is replaceable. A steady living cost increase also forces the man to send his wife and daughter home. “I miss them sometimes, that’s why I want to work in Duty Free shops in the airport so I can get a free round trip ticket home every a couple of years”, he says.
