Chris Builds Dubai
A Brit building a life — and businesses — in Dubai. The e-commerce journey, the family relocation, and the real Dubai beyond the highlight reel.
The story
I moved my family to Dubai, and I'm documenting all of it.
I'm Chris. In 2026 I moved my family from the UK to Dubai and started sharing the whole thing — the wins, the admin headaches, and everything in between.
I've spent years building e-commerce businesses, and now I show what actually works: selling online, growing income, and setting up a life abroad. Alongside that, you'll get the family side of relocating and the corners of Dubai we genuinely love.
No fake luxury, no filters. Just an honest look at building something real, in one of the most exciting cities on earth.
