Dubai's Security Image Questioned by Long-Term Resident

An academic, who has resided in Dubai for two decades, has recently commented on the city's well-established reputation. Their long-term perspective offers unique insights into how the emirate is perceived and how reality may sometimes diverge from that perception.

According to the academic, the observation of smoke plumes and sounds of explosions in some of the city's most exclusive areas challenges Dubai's established image as a haven of security and safety.
