📌 Phuket trip with Max: https://apply.thebackstagecircle.com/phuket
I came to Dubai to meet Mallika, an Indian who’s been living in the UAE for the past two years and also works between London and Singapore. In Dubai, she sells luxury property to ultra-rich clients. Mallika shared why dating here can feel like business, what foreigners often misunderstand about the city, and the only right way to deal with Dubai billionaires. Enjoy!
