A video showcasing Dubai’s safety is going viral and getting much attention online. In the video, influencer Leyla Afshonkar does a test to see how safe the city is. To check the city’s security, she left her jewelry on the hood of a parked car and watched from the distance to see what people would do. She was surprised when no one even looked at the gold. Leyla waited, finally picked up her jewelry, and put it back in the car.

In Dubai, a video of ‘how safe the city is’ has attracted much attention on social media. Finally, in the video, the influencer Leyla Afshonkar tests how safe the city is by taking a test. She takes her gold ornaments, places them on the bonnet of a car, and waits to see what people would do. As she expectedly thought, no one pays attention to the metal as if it does not hold gold. One moment, a woman bending down to pick up an object that has fallen and places the object back on the car.
The video begins with Ms Afshonkar placing a gold necklace and earring on the front of a blue BMW. She then took her jewels to the next store and left the jewelry out in the open. To her disbelief, the jewelry remains unmoved for half an hour. After about 30 minutes, no one on the live feed has directly interacted with the gold in some way or form. She said while laughing uproariously in the video, ‘tell me Dubai is not the safest country in the world.’
Ms Afshonkar shared the video a few days back. Since then, it has accumulated more than 20 million views and over 1 million likes. The clip led to an online debate, with some people praising Dubai’s safety and others doubting whether the stunt was real.
The Viral Responses Of Social Media Users
“If you touch it, they will whip you in jail and will deport you back home and ban you forever from entering the country. It’s not the people and safety; it’s the law that dictates safety,” commented one user. “Is Dubai really this safe? Or do they pay influencers for such marketing?” asked another.
Some users testified to the fact that the city was safe. “It is safe. The public fears that, when arrested, the repercussions are sharp and severe. The service cabbies offer there must be seen. ‘If they fail to maintain a rating over 4.7, they are fired and sent to either Pakistan or India,” posted another user.
Another user commented, “I once forgot my handbag with a laptop, passport, and cash. An hour later, I realized it was missing. Two hours after that, I retrieved it from the exact spot where I left it. Nobody touched it! “Dubai is safe, but this video is scripted as (0:16) same girl in white & black spotted (0:38) standing behind this main girl at jewelry store watching all these recorded videos,” pointed out one X user.
Dubai is incredible, making its residents careless, leading to challenges when traveling to countries with different safety standards.
