Dear Dairy, today I met to a brother who left Sweden to open up a coffee shop in DHA (Coffee Lab) and another brother who left the UK and has paid off an apartment which he intends to let out on short & long term stays. Allahumaabarik
You and Hassan Rafique awesome bloggers who are sharing transparent information about Pakistan and leaving up to us to decide whether to relocate or not and not always sharing the good things and hiding the bad things. Keep it up. 👍🇵🇰
I have been waiting for a video on this topic. Thank you for posting. May I suggest you periodically make videos on different Returnees from overseas and how they are earning their living. This will be very beneficial for your viewers who are thinking of moving to Pakistan but are concerned about jobs, finances, etc. JazakAllah
Love your content. I've been visiting Pakistan more and more in the last 3 years, after not going for over 20 years. Really regret not going more before. Seeing you visit Pindi and Islamabad especially really makes me feel homesick for PK. Keep up the good work 😊
Good luck to the young owner of new coffee shop in Islamabad. Hope his business prospers like Dunkin's Donut and Starbucks. However, the fact remains that Pakistanis are tea-drinkers, not coffee-drinkers. I am sure he did his market research prior to plunging himself into coffee business. May be his customer base is the expat population. Location. Location. Location. Coffee shops and tea houses succeed in densely populated or tourist areas with heavy foot traffic. He must sell hundreds of cups of coffee and sandwiches each day to make a decent profit. In the West, the gross profit margin on coffee business is 50%.
Yeah I think if his location was in the general Islamabad area it could be more busy and crowded. I've never had a good cappacunio or iced coffee in Pakistan yet so hopefully this brother succeeds
I respect that. I am from the UK - British Pakistani too - and wanted to relocate for my Deen as well. However, I was thinking a Muslim country in the Middle east. Initially I was thinking Dubai but that isn't the best place to practice Islam. 🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩
@@MyBritishPakistaniLife Malaysia has a very expensive my second home visa if you wish to settle there. But Malaysia will be tye next Taiawn as semiconductor companies are already investing there
I’ve lived and worked in both Dubai and Qatar over the last 7years. I was in Qatar for 5years and been in Dubai the last 2yrs. I’ve got two young children; a 7year old and a 4yr old. If you’re wanting to move for to practice Islam I’d recommend Qatar over Dubai. Im working in Dubai at the moment but trying to find work in Qatar again which is where I started. I regret moving here to Dubai. I’d even suggest Abu Dhabi ahead of Dubai if its for deen.
Salaams, very informative video as always. Could you please try to find out what typical utility bills are in Phase 8 Bahria Town, including society maintenance fees and compare them with your costs in Wah Cantt? Thank you.
Assalam u alaikum. I'm really considering spending a few months a year in Pak, as the winters in the UK are not good for my physical and mental health. However, fast internet is a real big concern. I run my own online business, so I need fast internet all the time. Last time, I was staying at a 5 star hotel and their Internet was terrible. Also, I have a Jazz 4g dongle that I use on the move in Pak, but again, same issue. Please advise.
@ukanwars it is better to stay in an apartment as opposed to a hotel for two reasons. Fast broadband and cheaper daily rate. A hotel will have one broadband modem and share the Internet with repeaters to each floor of the hotel and therefore cutting the speed. Whereas an appartment will have its very own dedicated (10mbps minimum) wifi modem.
Can you do a vlog on apartments that are up for sale and ready to move into in Islamabad and are located in secure areas. Not far away places like Bahria Enclave, but more within and around DHA, Gulberg Greens etc
@IM-fq3rz there are hundreds of appartments available that meet your requirment. The only issue is that the market is down right now, and the people are not willing to drop their prices for me.
First off Congrats to brother Farhan for his coffee business, insha Allah with your exposure he'll get more customers that are local and even the expats. One of the few business that always are bound to thrive in Pak are food business, because people love eating out over there. With most businesses getting away with corruption and foul politics, food business can be hit and miss, hopefully for this brother though it's a hit as he's introducing something new taste.
Its still a big risk moving to Pakistan, internet blackouts whenever the government wants, inflation is crazy, your electricity bill was higher than mine in the UK. But each to their own.
@@asifdutchmaster8705 you pay less than £150 a month for electricity in the UK? What appliances do you have at home? How many people live in the same house?
@@MyBritishPakistaniLife @MyBritishPakistaniLife Please remove your fantasy glasses and realize earning decent money is bollocks in Pakistan. i am getting 170 pound electricity bill on just one ac 1.5 tons which we only use 12 hours to sleep and don't have much appliances other than fridge and few fans .Average earning here is 200 pounds and my monthly electricity bill in summers is equal to what i earn. People better stay in UK unless you have links in army. Just stop being hypocritical chump
@bluesclues132 load shedding does not occur all over Pakistan. Where I live, we don't have blackouts. The two housing schemes I visited, Bahria and DHA, have their own diesel generators to supply demand during load shedding.
@@MyBritishPakistaniLifeload shedding happens but yes Bahria town have own infrastructure system well organised and advanced eg generator, clean facilities.
@@Bhkeeif you are in touch then good. I believe they are doing another service apartment project in mumtaz or top city. Sector D in csc was supposed to be done by them but they anly made few villas and thats it.

Been following your channel for a long time, since a year or so ago! Visiting Islamabad InshaAllah and would be great to meet up whilst I am there. Was going to share my contact number, but if there is another way to communicate please let me know.
I have hope in the mercy of Allah in regards to Pakistan, it has so much potential and will only be reached once tawheed is established and shirk bida sins turned away from as is the well known sunnah
I can't help but point out the irony of you mentioning that those who live in the west are helping fund israel whilst you yourself are using an American business (RU-vid) that you generate revenue for from which they inevitably pay tax on to the American government.
these guys dont understand that by boycotting in pakistan you are harming local manufacturers and distriubtors lmao you aint hurting israel. The way finance capital works now these corporatiosn dont even make money on product sales, its from real estate holdings and speculation on stock market
Lesser of two evils mate. Theres a big difference in the impact effect and the amount that funds israel. Atleast he's doing some good stuff. Don't be so negative.
these companies dont make money from sales anymore, in the era of the reign of finance capital they speculate on the market and buy property thats how they make money. Mcdonalds doesnt make money from sales, it makes money from stock price going up when interest rates are low on the dollar people gamble and speculate on stocks has nothing to do with sales

Don't blame you as this UK is horrible, I rather live in Islamabad Pakistan bahria town. Yes Pakistan needs security and development and order fast if all of us are to come ever back. Pakistan has to change, it also needs women safety law and order. However, I rather move to Dubai or Sharjah and visit Pakistan. But dead right about the tax money whr it's going....lifestyle in the west is not worth losing your deen. May Allah grant you jannah as the main thing you have made hijra, and you will be rewarded fot it - and your children will remain muslims. As many in the west rather are in depression, anxiety, drugs, gangs, prisons, sexual depravity and become atheists, it's a depressing life UK in general it is depressing never did like it. We have to move for the sake of the deen and Allah, nothing like a Muslim country.
