Nas Daily Having 2nd Office in Dubai & Will Live There Half the Time

While some Singaporeans don’t like Nas Daily, we have to admit, it’s nice to have our country praised. 

In March 2019, the popular travel vlogger announced he would be moving to Singapore, and went on to list several reasons why:

  • Singapore has banned smoking in most outdoor areas, a huge boon for non-smokers
  • We have ‘forced’ people of different races and ethnicities to live together in harmony
  • Singapore has solved the traffic problem with a system that continually limits the number of cars on the roads
  • Cars are parked in reverse, which saves space
  • Pulau Semakau, unlike most landfills, is so clean and beautiful it is resort-like
  • Singapore’s NEWater means that not a drop of water is wasted

Some Singaporeans rolled their eyes so hard at this that they started seeing into the back of their heads, but others felt proud. 

I can’t believe someone likes my country so much.

But now it seems that Nas has a new love, and we’re nothing but old news. 

Nas Daily Having 2nd Office in Dubai & Will Live There Half the Time

Nuseir Yassin, better known as Nas Daily, will be building a second office in Dubai and living there “half the time”.

The vlogger announced the move in a Facebook post on Saturday (6 Dec), which garnered over 12,000 shares at the time of writing.

Speaking to CNA, Nas said: “We are growing fast in Singapore and now we want to build a second office in Dubai for the Middle East market.”

He clarified, however, that this was simply an expansion, and not a move.

“I’m gonna be one month here, one month there,” he wrote.  “To be clear, it’s an expansion. Not a move.”

So, why Dubai?

Progress, Diversity, & Zero Tax

In his 4-minute announcement video, Nas outlined the reasons why he chose the United Arab Emirates city.

Nas said he was amazed by the progress Dubai has made in the last 49 years, before which it was still largely a desert.

Dubai is known for its ultramodern architecture, such as the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Frame.

One reason Nas chose to expand his operations there is that he wants to not only see the progress made in the next 49 years, but be a part of it as well.

Another attraction of Dubai for Nas was its diversity, as 90% of its population are immigrants.

This, he says, allows you to make friends with people from all over the world.

Nas also chose Dubai to build his second office because the UAE does not levy income tax on individuals.

This means, as Nas said in his video, workers get to keep all of their earnings.

“In other places, you pay someone $5,000 a month, and they barely have any money left. A lot of it goes to taxes”, he said.

“Crazy People”

Nas also noted that people in Dubai are “crazy”, but in a good way.

You have to be crazy, he said, to build the following things:

  • tallest building in the world
  • a palm-shaped island in the ocean
  • plants that convert seawater into drinkable water
  • nuclear power plants
  • a shark aquarium in a mall

Most of all, you have to be “crazy” to build a city in the desert.

“And I love crazy people,” Nas said.

Jealous Singaporean: Eh, I’m also crazy, okay? I once queued for hours outside a Foot Locker outlet with hundreds of people during a pandemic.

Nas: Uh, not that kind of crazy. 

The 28-year-old said he’s a big fan of cities that are clean, hard-working, and determined to succeed, like Singapore and Dubai.

“I am convinced the next Europe and the next America will be in Asia and the Middle East,” he said.
