Dubai woman finds living in Mumbai expensive, returns within 15 days after heavy traffic and non-stop honk

A woman who lives in Dubai has said her short visit to Mumbai left her drained, not because she did not enjoy being home, but because the city's traffic, noise and rising costs wore her out faster than she expected. She was back in Dubai within 15 days.

Farah shared her experience in a video on Instagram, comparing daily life in the two cities. 15 days in Mumbai and now I'm back in Dubai and honestly I was expecting a major culture shock, but Mumbai said, relax, we have upgraded too, she said.134516397Why did she find Mumbai so expensive One major thing which I have observed this time in Mumbai is expensive, Farah said.

Yes, the city has significantly become more expensive than we used to say that Mumbai is affordable. Na na, it's not. She admitted she could not speak much about rent, saying, I cannot comment much on rent as I do not pay it in Mumbai. But she pointed to everyday spending instead.

If you're going out, you're spending not less than like 5 to 6,000 rupees, which initially was a bit less. Everything else has become more expensive, she said.

She also brought up salaries, saying she did not feel they had grown at the same pace back home. So if in case, if you are in Dubai with a better salary package, stick to it, she said.
