I really enjoy your videos. They are so authentic....no loud music, no clickbait, just honest experiences during your travels. So refreshing!

@etcrobb 6 лет назад

Thank you for allowing me to relive my journey to old Dubai. I was there back in 1993 and your journey takes me back to the boat ride and the gold souks. I have been looking at my old photos that I took in that vary location and several of the buildings have not changed at all. I was in the US Navy on a submarine when we visited several ports in the area. This video was epic and I look forward to to following and seeing many more Middle Eastern videos! Thanks for taking that journey for us that can otherwise not travel like you do!

Nice video Gabe!! I thought we'll never get to the elusive Gold Souk!! But glad you finally found the place. Keep going mate!! Enjoy.👍

@marinabassi3767 6 лет назад

Just got lost the souks in Dubai thanks to you :-) ! Much better than following a plan or a tour guide... I have been living in Tunisia for over 12 years now and the over eager and friendly sellers in the souks are just the same here... The boat ride gave me a veery tiny whiff of Venice in Italy on a vaporetto, less the history and the architecture. And the price, much better in Dubai !

you ignored everyone telling you the gold souk was down to the other side. youre already on the souk side of the river.

Yes, because once I was in the spice market then I wanted to check it out, rather than go straight to the gold souk.

Dubai is so beautifull

@laken1804 6 лет назад

It's seems to me that all the hype about Dubai is the expensive hotels that they built for the ultra rich, which are out of reach of the average individual. I find a lack of development for the middle class tourists who are really the people who make the bulk of touristic travelers. There is no fascination no attraction. Not even a decent middle class resort to keep the median tourist interested. They talk about the big malls the big buildings, those are everywhere in the world. A place should offer that extra something that is cultural and entertaining to keep people coming back. All in all Dubai is a boring place.

@PXx12345 6 лет назад

Gabe I kept thinking you were looking for some gold soup, not souk and couldn't work out why you didn't just grab something to eat from anywhere! Looks a cool video especially the spice market and the creek with the boats

@GabrielTravelerVideos 6 лет назад

Gold soup....I guess that would be with pumpkins? Sounds tasty.

@PXx12345 6 лет назад

Haha actually yes it contains pumpkins, red lentils and carrots! Thanks for emailing your books in Pdf format by the way, will be reading them over the holiday period. Already have my flight booked to Santorini for next year and planning on island hopping round the Cyclades after watching your videos with the mountain bike around the same islands! Thanks for posting some excellent videos of your travels. Paul

I had an aggressive rug salesman in Turkey who just wanted me to buy a rug. I told him I’d like to look at his rugs but that he would probably get resentful that he would spend so much time in his shop showing rugs I wasn’t going to buy. He got it and we ended up hanging all evening and when it was time to go, no bad feelings. It was a cool evening.

I noticed a tourist walking around with his backpack on the front but isn’t dubai supposed to be really safe with almost no thieves?

@FD-hq7hg 5 лет назад

It's safe and it actually depends on the area. There are many pedestrianiazed walkways with lots of people but there are other places that seem kinda empty. Plus because of the weather most people prefer to stay indoors in shopping malls

@GlobalAdventurer 6 лет назад

I can't believe you are in Dubai! My favorite area is Bur Dubai. I've been there 3 times in the last year. There are some inexpensive hotels, but it's the added vat, tourist tax and service charge that kills the price.

@GabrielTravelerVideos 6 лет назад

I moved to a hotel in the Bur Dubai area actually. $65 including taxes and it's really nice, at least a 3-star. So yeah there are some decent deals to be found.

@SuiGenerisAbbie 6 лет назад

Curious to know how hot it was each day you were in the UAE, please.

@GabrielTravelerVideos 6 лет назад

I'm not sure of the exact temperatures. Keep in mind this was in winter so it was cooler than the summer, but still pretty warm. I'd say highs in the 80s and 90s. Can't imagine summer there.

@SuiGenerisAbbie 6 лет назад

I just went to weather.com and looked up Dubai. Then, I clicked on "Monthly Averages" and scrolled down to the month in which you were there and posted your videos! I reckon there are only two seasons in Dubai -- Damn Hot, and ... Blast Furnace Hotter!

so in this video you state that the population is 3,000,000? in the video that i saw before this one, you say 5,000,000. i guess it decreased since the last vid by 2,000,000 within minutes.

@GabrielTravelerVideos 6 лет назад

3 million is the population of Dubai. 5 million is the entire metro area. So both numbers are right. I'm never quite sure which one to quote.

@SuiGenerisAbbie 6 лет назад

Ohhhh man, the people are so persistent, LOL! And, they do love to haggle, I have to say. Start low and then gradually work up to your highest price.
