has caused outrage in recent days after continuously mocking the situation in , while claiming she is in her 'refugee era' after leaving the city to return to the UK.
Amid the uncertainty about the US-Iran war, there have been several international influencers, including well-known British names, singing their praises and lauding Dubai as the 'safest place on earth'.
As eyebrows were raised about the veracity of these claims, the Daily Mail learnt that Dubai's hard-line regime would not hesitate to imprison or deport anyone whose output was judged 'harmful' to the reputation of the UAE.
There is also said to be a renewable 10-year 'Golden Visa' for influencers and their families – provided they say the right thing about Dubai, pushing its luxury lifestyle and above all, its safety.
Yet when it comes to Luisa, it is hard to gauge whether her latest remarks are in a bid to abide with Dubai's regime, are merely the result of being tone-deaf, or if she is leaning into the art of 'rage-baiting'.
Rage baiting is a tactic often used by influencers and involves sharing social media posts which are deliberately controversial, provocative or misinformed in order to drive engagement through angry reactions.
Luisa, who boasts 712,000 Instagram followers, 142,000 TikTok fans and 430,000 Twitter followers, has a habit of stirring up controversy.
Since finding fame as the runner-up on The Apprentice in 2013 she has often found herself in the headlines as a result of her remarks.
Luisa Zissman has caused outrage in recent days after continuously mocking the situation in Dubai, yet she has a history of causing outrage with her scandalous comments
Notably, last year, Luisa came under fire after comparing breastfeeding mothers to 'grass-munching cows' - while advocating for women who opt to bottle feed their babies.

The minute-long clip was titled 'Another day, another rant' as Luisa defended her stance despite receiving backlash for it in the past.
'I know this is a controversial subject and I have had backlash on my opinions on breastfeeding before,' the mother-of-three began.
'Let's talk about my hate for breastfeeding. I really don't like breastfeeding. I didn't do it and I don't like it.'
'I understand it's marginally beneficial. When you look into the actual benefits of breastfeeding over bottle, it's literally smidgens of a per cent.
'Your kid isn't going to die if they're bottle-fed.' she continued.
Addressing women who 'can't, don't, or won't' breastfeed, Luisa affirmed their decision to bottle-feed and explained it did not reflect on their capabilities as a mother.
'So if you're sitting at home with your baby and you're feeling like s*** because Sarah, the grass munching cow with her tandem twinnies on her boobies is making you feel like s***, don't let that affect you,' she said.
'You're doing a great job, mama. You don't need to breastfeed to have a healthy baby.'
The video divided opinion, as several viewers were quick to call Luisa out for 'demonising' mothers who opt to breastfeed - with pro-feeders saying it needs to be 'normalised'.
According to the National Heath Service (NHS), formula milk does not provide the same protection from illness as breastfeeding, while giving your baby breast milk has long-term benefits.

It can reduce the baby's risk of infections as well sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), along with the rise of developing conditions like cardiovascular disease and obesity.
When it comes to her parenting style, Luisa also shocked followers when she revealed she had smashed her children's' iPads in front of them because they were making them 'devils'.
In August, Luisa posted a picture of the broken device on her Instagram grid, as she candidly explained she had gotten so angry she'd cracked the screen.
Alongside the photos, she wrote: 'I could pretend it's all roses and sparkles but today the kids p***** me off so much I smashed their iPads up in front of them!
'No more tech for us, it destroys their brains, creates little monsters and makes them devils. More sports, more family time & more discipline loading!'
The post received a divided response with some arguing that breaking the expensive piece of technology - which currently retails from £329 - was a waste of money and she should have tried other forms of discipline first.
When asked why she didn't just confiscate them, Luisa said:' I wanted them to see them being destroyed and knowing getting them back was not an option!'
