Ado Dubai

A no-nonsense guide for German entrepreneurs on UAE immigration, business, and real estate, stripping away the hype and focusing on facts.

The brief

This is a German-language video podcast that serves as a strategic manual for entrepreneurs considering the UAE. Host Ado Kaatz dissects the realities of company formation, real estate investment, and taxation in Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah. The show deliberately punctures marketing hype, focusing instead on net yields, legal structures, and the common pitfalls that German investors face, often using on-screen data to illustrate points.

Unlike many Dubai-focused channels that showcase luxury, Ado Dubai actively debunks hype by dissecting misleading marketing, such as gross vs. net rental yields, and focuses on the unglamorous but critical details of due diligence and legal structures.
