I’m from uae I told my Muslim family I want to travel they called me crazy and they said girls can’t travel can’t live alone can’t walk alone and they need a man wtf? and most people here think like that
Warning if you’re a woman never go to a Muslim country but they respect you more because you weren’t born here we are more oppressed for being born here
When I first passed through Dubai in the early 2000s transiting to a different country.. I had similar feelings as you did.. like it was this weird desert place and I couldn´t connect to it at all. Was happy when the time came to leave again. Then I visited again, to come see a friend of mine who had moved there for a new job. And that second time around it was a totally different experience. Met some wonderful people and without planning for it I ended up staying. Now it´s 2023 and I have been living in the UAE for almost 2 decades and I love it and would not trade it for any other place. PS: there is beautiful nature, mountains, wadis, desert, sea.. you just need to go out of the city
Its not too bad . My nephew and his wife spent two years working there . They are young . Early thirties . Made good money and came back to South Africa 🇿🇦 to start a family . They traveled to Europe for there and saved a lot . You should put Capetown on your bucket list .❤
@@MHG796 Like Europe (with colonialism) and America, right? The only difference is that Dubai was buiilt by WORKING and PAID peoples (yes, they don't earn much, but they have free food, and housing).... Europe and America by enslaving people...Westerners please stop being hypocrites...
My father always told me that the gulf-states were fun for week vacation or perhaps honey-moon fairy-tail for the wife, but anything longer then a week is a waste and doesn’t work unless you were born there. Places like Dubai are always said to be a dream, and that’s what it is a dream!
Bro Ive lived in dubai for more then 10 years and I can say its worth it, if you go to suburban areas its cool and chill and a new side of dubai u go to Sharjah and old town its a complete different side of the main city
The main reason I could never live in UAE is the weather and the heat. Have been following some people travelling to Lebanon and although summers are warm, it's pertty much a Mediterranean climate, with beautiful Spring and Fall and cozy winters. All the best!
The look on Eli's face when she was asked to leave her own country representation in the world fair. Disappointment. I think you are an asset to your country and a truly amizing presenter of your experiences.
johnkeenan, Yes, she is. Her country will certainly discover what an asset she is when she returns to Russia wearing the medal given to her by the government of Dubai as a token of its appreciation for the very positive publicity which she did for its Emirate!
Loved your video and especially your comment about 'detours you did not mean to take' are the ones that seem to make the best memories. Unsure if you have ever visited New Zealand before, but I have made it my home and really enjoy it and thought you should put it on your to-do list. Wishing you all the very best...safe travels.
Unless you send her an invitation letter for visa application or marry her on embassy she's basically screwed for travel to NZ and anywhere else for next decade.
Love how you called her "Katyusha"; love how cute you both are in your exploration; love how you present people and countries. Such interesting video reports; small works of art. Lots of love.
@@Andre-cz3mr What do you mean by that exactly? Last I checked, the British were "northern man" and they seem to be thriving. When you live in Dubai for decades, like most of those citizens of the UK have, then there is obviously SOMETHING there to do for a "northern man".
You can't make lemonade unless life gives you some sugar to go with the lemons. Otherwise, all you get is lemon juice. As for the lassi, in Indian restaurants in the USA, it comes in three flavors--sweet regular, salty regular, and mango. (The mango version is always sweet.) In my opinion, the salty lassi tastes the way a wet dog smells.
Eli I love your insight wherever you go. You take us with you. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It never ceases to amaze me how much people around the world have in common.
Having lived in Dubai for well over a decade, I can guarantee Dubai is a resourceful city to live in. You will need to immerse yourself in the town and meet people who can put you on, depending on the area you specialise in. I love the magic city!

You just did the purest documantart of Dubai your so real and not faking this is the only honest report of Dubai I ever watch, but I lived for 3 years in emarates and I am telling you their is a lot more about it, at the end for me work in Dubai is okay but I don't like to live in it as retired or something like this. But your so real about it this is the best ❤
HI Eli, try to visit the Philippines from March to May, the summer months. Enjoy the beautiful beaches of Boracay, Siargao, Bohol, el Nido , Coron , etc. scenic and cool places like Tagaytay and Baguio. Rent a condo and Stay at the modern and secure location at BGC area in Manila. Lots of expats and people are friendly and hospitable. Cost of rent is around $500-700 a month at the BGC area. $300-500 a month around makati and Quezon City area. Cost if living is very affordable. Hope to see some of your blogs here.
As someone that’s been to nearly 80 countries you could do WAY better….pick any continent and I’ll at least give you a couple better options Although going from Dubai to Kathmandu is one hell of a wealth disparity shock, funny how much more enjoyable the much poorer country is though (as a traveler at least) Also looking at the breakfast buffet at burj Al arab and other similar places….it’s very obvious how a lot of Russian/Eastern European women of a certain age are there, and it’s quite off putting….many promised a certain life and became stuck in various positions along a spectrum that can be very troubling and off putting
I have been to Dubai many many times since my company had an office there. It's ok just to visit malls for shopping. I really can't find a reason to visit Dubai for tourism, unless one loves sand and heat.
Greetings from Scotland! It looks like an incredible place, but I think I may have enough money to visit there for maybe 5 minutes........ 😊 Always great videos from you Eli. Thanks for all the work you put into them!
@@allenk6373 Not sure why you think Scotland has a good salary! 🤔 I pay under £400 per month rent, in Dubai it would mean an extra 0 on the end! I'm a pensioner, so half my pension goes on my rent every month. NO WAY I could afford to retire there! Nice thought, or maybe a dream perhaps? 😊😊
@@peterhowells7309 400? trust me even in provinse in russia 400 for rent its a great price but in many cases its like 400 -700 for a good flat and avarage salary is like 350 dollars at max
I live in Dubai since 36 years , I have studied and lived in Germany and France and i intensively travelled the world during my career and let me tell you Dubai is way more interesting in many aspects ! First aspect is" Safety " Dubai is probably the safest place on earth , second aspect there is no income Tax , third aspect despite World Depression going on there are still so many opportunities to make money in Dubai . Yes the weather is Hot in summer but one can get use to after all Air conditioning is everywhere, YES I would easily trade Weather and nature for Dubai positive aspects and for Nature and weather Dubai allows me to visit and enjoy many countries worldwide .Dubai ❤Dubai
I live in Dubai too. Yes it's safe.. ..but it is also becouse: bad news are not coming out, shown. Press is not free, it is anyway a monarchy. And there are other places safe in the world, not many, but we have them. Taxes.. true but they get back money from "micro taxing" a lot of stuff from everyday life. So, or u have an high salary, or u have to be very cautious. Middle - low salaries get you access to a lifestyle that can be poor... crowded sharing apartments, or very far districts in the desert. Unless you don't work for a big (international) company, you get tricked on your salary specs.. example: basic salary / other voices RATIO. So when fired, settlement conditions are poor. Middle-low salaries don't allow good self retirement plans.. ..and in Dubai nobody is paying for your retirement.. ..and not everybody is a millionaire. Mostly the opposite. Regarding money.. ..it's a perfect place if you make a lot of money. From an ethical POV it's a city mostly built from dxrty money and MADE for dxrty money. Everybody knows it, but nobody knows it.😉 Weather and air... Yeah. Sun all over the year, mostly. Sometimes the government make it rains on purpose, so they say, using special tech. Many people from April/May, till ~ Sept can't stay outside for more than 2/3 mins. Let's say that you breathe 18-20hrs/day A/C. When you go to sit on your balcony (JBR, Marina) if you are lucky to have a nice view, you always have this 'ground noise' from the MASSIVE A/C systems, from the roofs.. Visiting many countries worldwide... yes. If you are "western born" (Europe, North America, etc). If not.. you might risk to have tricks that only allows you to go back home on your maybe 30 days vacations. Sometimes not to go at all. It's a system built on the skin of 'slxaves' (pakistan, india, iran, etc) that allows you to visit countries worldwide. Everybody knows it, but nobody knows it😉. If tomorrow you have only westerns and Locals in Dubai, will it remain the same, improve... ...or would it collapse down? (this is kinda of the Elephant in the room) If they die, no newspaper, nor internet site, is writing about. When it was mandatory for the companies to give, at least, a basic medical insurance for the slxaves employee, somebody complained. If you are western you might have never seen what they call an "hospital" that covers the poors medical insurance deals. Let's say, something not far from a room with tables and chairs. Veeery different from the hospitals that only rich ppl can access. And thx to this u r allowed to your beautiful life, travelling and go fxcking through tinderx etc. If you are a western, you know that schools quality is super poor, and veeeery expensive. Better to have enough money to send ur kids to study somewhere else, in the world. And yes, there are a lot of lights, watergames, desert activities, drugxs are mostly forbidden. Dubai is amazing.
There’s a reason it’s so empty. You can have the worlds best things but nobody can imagine the climate and strict rules. I might visit someday but will lower my expectations. Thanks for the honest video :)
Very well said and it sums it up perfectly: sometimes the scenic roads are the detours you never planned to make. Thanks for your videos. Traveling opens the minds. We all need to learn from each other’s cultures with an open mind. Please keep up with these videos.
I've never been in UAE but I watched a lot of videos. I agree it's very artificial and not suited for life. The only one exception is Masdar City - it's the only well thought out project built for people and not just because they can. I hope it will be a great success and show the world how cities should be designed.
As a older NY'er The city used to be amazing back in the 80's 90's but people who come here now sadly dont realize its crap compared to back then. I gladly would trade for Dubai no crime homeless people and piss smells from the subway.
I go to Dubai every few months for leisure travel and there is no other place like it on Earth. I live in Los Angeles, but I would trade that for Dubai any day of the week and twice on Sunday. The cost of living in Dubai is so much cheaper than L.A. and the weather is better, though hard to believe but it is. I like HOT and Dubai in the summer months is boiling. NICE!! Without a doubt, the most beautiful city on the planet.
@@radicalPeanut Because of the beauty of Dubai. Dubai makes Los Angeles look like a dump and that shows you just how state-of-the-art Dubai is in every way possible. If you have never been there, then you can't imagine what i am talking about. The biggest, the fastest, the tallest, the most money etc etc etc, that is Dubai and there is no other place like it. I've traveled to more then 40 countries and hundreds of cities around the world and Dubai beats them all!
Living and working in Abu Dhabi for almost 2 years and it’s absolutely amazing: work is great, salary beyond anything you can earn in Europe, mesmerizing cosmopolitan vibe with 200 nationalities , super value for money if you know your way around, lots of nature ( such as mangrove forests) around almost all of the many Abu Dhabi islands (and even in the middle of the city) , wonderful culture and fascinating history, beautiful desert and mountain sceneries and an absolute dream climate (even in summer) with blue skies and sun every single day of the year …which is wonderful if you originate ( like me) from depressing cold, dull, grey, rainy and frosty Nortwestern Europe 🥶. So happy to be here. Only one small disadvantage…..too many Russians find their way down here 😅 even though I’ve got some wonderful Russian friends in Abu Dhabi
Hello, thank-you for your feedback. I am from Canada where it's cold 6 months of the year. Can you outline the expenses ( higher end) for a family of 4( mortgage/ rentals, travel, schooling, entertainment etc). Thank-you again.
I agree with you been living in dubai for 20 yrs.. those who says it ‘s all artificial have not seen the whole of dubai with it’s nature desserts & mountains & oasis and most of all the cleanliness because discipline is practice here, peacefulness with less crime & safety of all where you can walk even in the middle of the night, leave your cars anywhere without being smash or carnap, bags, celphones without the worrries of being stolen.. that’s it .. i just so love living in dubai
You forgot to mention there is no street fights . No drunkards, can leave your car running in the streets with keys on. No racial abuse. Night life. Safety. This girl has no clue what she is talking. She say it's very hot. So what we can still move around 24/7 365 days unlike in Europe in winters you can't hardly go outside
Happy Saturday - always looking forward to your uploads. I am also surprised by the Palms area - I also thought it would be a strand of sand, water both sides, with just some houses. So interesting to see the reality - has blown my concept.
You two girls are truly fun. Katusha is a beautiful girl. Hope you´ve turned the page on the fake Russian display episode. Your face was a poem! The Yemeni stands caught my attention though the clip was brief. Nuts and fruit make for an extraordinary combination. The artificial feeling you percieved in Dubai is becoming prevalent in many Western cities. Noise, posters masking the sites, abnoxious illumination, zombie-like people and lack of natural harmony. Given your experience, you´ve become a great quasi-neutral observeress. Cheers, Eli!
People who say artificial have absolutely no clue and just repeating words. If you se how clean, safe and prosperous it is you would realize bow beautiful it is
Your videos about Russia are the best and most interesting. It’s the great unknown!! Most people have been most other places in the world but there is so much to discover about Russia. 🇷🇺 Amazing country.
Lets just accept it...Eli is cuteness You keep opening the Russian dolls and its another Russian doll, and another..and they (should all look like Eli) and she brings in a friend named Kat. And you wonder about life, and cuteness, laughter, and growing old... Giggles and laughter, and knowing I'm past doing the Polar-plunge...so that's good. A thumb-up for Eli and Kat.
I was in Dubai in 2021 Christmas time. I enjoyed it , tall buildings like New York , very expensive. My son spends a lot of time there ( working).. as a top DJ .. Abu Dubai is nice too ..
I’m living and still living in Dubai for more than 10 years….just be open minded, Dubai was built for a specific purpose, just enjoy your time and live your life.
Eli, I worked in the ME and do not miss it at all. I do live in Dude I, better known as Texas that is hot too, but at least most places identify as Mexican here. We did have a Russian open an Italian food restaurant here in town.
Love Dubai. Called it home for 5 years. However, the moist level and especially the FUNGUS and MOLDS inside buildings (from Deira all the way to Marina)is disastrous . Only brand new and recently finished buildings are exempt from the over growing molds - basically anywhere in the apartment or the office or the shop. The worst is Dubai Mall - I catch more and more shops there covering the smell by spraying scents… even on the main passages of the mall. Another thing - the air quality is poor. If you have even a slightly bad sinusitis or anything with lungs… this is not your place to go. Another thing is : be aware you could get cheated wherever you go (except inside the malls). And last but not least: Covid and Russia-Ukraine war made the prices in Dubai skyrocketing which is not a thing I can accept having on mind the service level did not improve. One thing which is nice is: people are generally kind and polite - the foreign labor are kind and polite as they are forced to be. The majority of them are coming from quite poor countries so they do not want to make ANY mistakes and being sent back home (not just fired from work). This being said - I prefer fake polite than genuine and rude people. As a tourist place Dubai is maybe quite nice. But living there… a few things must improve before I return.
There is some irony in your comment about foreign labor. People who travel to Dubai help keep the kafala system in place. It seems that on the surface, you know about it but you don't care as long as you have a good time in Dubai.
I really enjoyed this video Eli. I totally agree with your opinions of Dubai. My cousin worked in Dubai and I went to visit him for 3 days. I think it was the hot season, so I did not enjoy the city of Dubai. I did not see as many things as you did. I just found Dubai too commercial and artificial. I don't think I would like to visit Dubai again.
A city that arose from the desert in 2 decades of real estate speculation run amok is not worth visiting, no matter how pretty the skyline is. The main factor, THE HEAT&HUMIDITY. you mentioned. UGH !
@@sammyboss-yc2kr When you knock down the door of the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates BEGGING to get a work visa with the full knowledge of the salary that you will be getting when you get there, you are NOT a slave! Neither the government of Dubai nor any of the businesses there (Emirati or otherwise) are putting the gun to anybody's head insisting that they come and work in Dubai. Take a course in business management in order to know what I am talking about Einstein!
You have such a cool channel! I cannot believe I have not found this sooner. You have a long time viewer here I have never been out of United States I want to travel so much
I would love to buy an apartment in Dubai and visit there often. It’s safe, clean and there are no harsh winters or flooding like in many places today. If it’s too hot every place has air conditioning. There are restaurants with foods from all over the world, there’s every single designer shop and if you want local markets theres souqs everywhere. You meet people from all corners of the world in one place and make lots of cool new friends. And the nightclubs are just next level. You won’t find those pickpockets and bag snatchers like you do in Paris, London, Italy etc either.
@@Woollzable I wouldn’t say I’m from just one. Blessed to have always lived in a few at a time from Kenya, Germany, Canada and currently in the United Kingdom but always travelling around. Why?
I love Dubai for its multi nationality. Had a chance to meet and interacting with people from various nationality and tribes. It's quite a life experience. Other than that, it sucks tbh. For vacation or adventure, well ok. But to actually live there is quite tough imo, unless you're rich or have a big salary. One thing for sure that you will always be a second or third class resident. Have you ever live in a place that you always feel you don't belong there? Well, that 😊
I have not been to Dubai, but for various reasons I never wanted to go there. Although the warm weather like in South America would suit me. As an original European, I would like the climate, quality of life, etc. in Sochi and Krasnodar better. If I wanted to change, I would choose these two cities in Russia. Greetings from Ecuador.
Uae is a very nice country, the people over there r sweet and rlly nice. I’d def recommend to go uae for a visit or to live there. MashAllah beautiful and organized country. Everyone is amazing there and I love the security and safety over there honestly amazing 10/10, love uae.
I have been to Dubai a few times. Unless you are travelling here on a budget pre plan what you what to see. Also there is a hostel out by the airport if you are travelling on a budget. Only about a hundred meters to the metro train system. If you hav an early flight to the airport just walk out of the hostel and flag down a taxi if you have a flight out. Also if you want to experience a bit more culture travel to some of the smaller communities which have some hostels
Incorrect comment about 'everything opens at 4 pm'. It applies to Global village as its totally outdoors and not suitable to roam about during the day when its very hot. There are tons of activities to do during the day which can start as early as you want. If you want outdoor activities, there are beautiful beaches and parks. All malls are open from 10 am till midnight. There are places which open even earlier and open past midnight. There are also lots of places to eat at pocket friendly prices all around UAE and open beyond midnight and all the cuisines from around the globe. And its the most safest city in the world.
First clip i saw where the ad has more soul than the destination. Thanks for the other ones, pretty good. The islands btw. are made of local sand. Fine sand, very very fine sand.
Now i'm curious to hear about how you almost got kidnapped in India. 😅 Seems like many women who visit there have a scary story to tell. Did you travel alone or with a friend?
I love your videos from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤ ❤❤I have family In N.S.W and QLD. My Grandad was Aussie and fought with the ANZAC in the First World War in France 🇫🇷 against the Germans. Your Aussie friend Becks about Vegimite being better than Margmite!She is right ❤❤!!
You are amazing and very honest in your opinion sad to hear that they don’t let u film amazing Russian food stalls you should visit Pakistan north Hunza valley

Ditto!
My dream also.
I think you all should hire a gang to kill Dubai so you may live a happy life 😂😂😂😂
As someone that’s been to nearly 80 countries you could do WAY better….pick any continent and I’ll at least give you a couple better options
Although going from Dubai to Kathmandu is one hell of a wealth disparity shock, funny how much more enjoyable the much poorer country is though (as a traveler at least)
Also looking at the breakfast buffet at burj Al arab and other similar places….it’s very obvious how a lot of Russian/Eastern European women of a certain age are there, and it’s quite off putting….many promised a certain life and became stuck in various positions along a spectrum that can be very troubling and off putting

I have been to Dubai many many times since my company had an office there. It's ok just to visit malls for shopping. I really can't find a reason to visit Dubai for tourism, unless one loves sand and heat.
I love it! ❤
Greetings from Scotland! It looks like an incredible place, but I think I may have enough money to visit there for maybe 5 minutes........ 😊
Always great videos from you Eli. Thanks for all the work you put into them!
Better spend that money to visit a more interesting place.
@@fatalmokrane True, I'm like Eli, I don't do very well in such heat! I was a red head (when I had hair!) and the sun hates me! 😂😂
@@peterhowells7309 trust me
It’s not super expensive
So many Russian tourist are theatre
And Scotland has a good salary
@@allenk6373 Not sure why you think Scotland has a good salary! 🤔 I pay under £400 per month rent, in Dubai it would mean an extra 0 on the end! I'm a pensioner, so half my pension goes on my rent every month. NO WAY I could afford to retire there! Nice thought, or maybe a dream perhaps? 😊😊
@@peterhowells7309 400? trust me even in provinse in russia 400 for rent its a great price
but in many cases its like 400 -700 for a good flat
and avarage salary is like 350 dollars at max
I live in Dubai since 36 years , I have studied and lived in Germany and France and i intensively travelled the world during my career and let me tell you Dubai is way more interesting in many aspects ! First aspect is" Safety " Dubai is probably the safest place on earth , second aspect there is no income Tax , third aspect despite World Depression going on there are still so many opportunities to make money in Dubai . Yes the weather is Hot in summer but one can get use to after all Air conditioning is everywhere, YES I would easily trade Weather and nature for Dubai positive aspects and for Nature and weather Dubai allows me to visit and enjoy many countries worldwide .Dubai ❤Dubai
I live in Dubai too. Yes it's safe.. ..but it is also becouse: bad news are not coming out, shown.
Press is not free, it is anyway a monarchy.
And there are other places safe in the world, not many, but we have them.
Taxes.. true but they get back money from "micro taxing" a lot of stuff from everyday life.
So, or u have an high salary, or u have to be very cautious.
Middle - low salaries get you access to a lifestyle that can be poor... crowded sharing apartments, or very far districts in the desert.
Unless you don't work for a big (international) company, you get tricked on your salary specs.. example: basic salary / other voices RATIO.
So when fired, settlement conditions are poor.
Middle-low salaries don't allow good self retirement plans.. ..and in Dubai nobody is paying for your retirement.. ..and not everybody is a millionaire. Mostly the opposite.
Regarding money.. ..it's a perfect place if you make a lot of money.
From an ethical POV it's a city mostly built from dxrty money and MADE for dxrty money.
Everybody knows it, but nobody knows it.😉
Weather and air...
Yeah. Sun all over the year, mostly. Sometimes the government make it rains on purpose,
so they say, using special tech.
Many people from April/May, till ~ Sept can't stay outside for more than 2/3 mins.
Let's say that you breathe 18-20hrs/day A/C.
When you go to sit on your balcony (JBR, Marina) if you are lucky to have a nice view, you always have this 'ground noise' from the MASSIVE A/C systems, from the roofs..
Visiting many countries worldwide... yes. If you are "western born" (Europe, North America, etc).
If not.. you might risk to have tricks that only allows you to go back home on your maybe 30 days vacations. Sometimes not to go at all.
It's a system built on the skin of 'slxaves' (pakistan, india, iran, etc) that allows you to visit countries worldwide.
Everybody knows it, but nobody knows it😉.
If tomorrow you have only westerns and Locals in Dubai, will it remain the same, improve... ...or would it collapse down?
(this is kinda of the Elephant in the room)
If they die, no newspaper, nor internet site, is writing about.
When it was mandatory for the companies to give, at least, a basic medical insurance for the slxaves employee, somebody complained.
If you are western you might have never seen what they call an "hospital" that covers the poors medical insurance deals.
Let's say, something not far from a room with tables and chairs. Veeery different from the hospitals that only rich ppl can access.
And thx to this u r allowed to your beautiful life, travelling and go fxcking through tinderx etc.
If you are a western, you know that schools quality is super poor, and veeeery expensive.
Better to have enough money to send ur kids to study somewhere else, in the world.
And yes, there are a lot of lights, watergames, desert activities, drugxs are mostly forbidden.
Dubai is amazing.
You must visit Malaysia. It has all the combination of city life and enjoying the nature. The cost of living there is quite cheap and manageable.
I remember quite a few years ago when I was young. Everything new, exciting and a surprise behind every corner. Enjoy!
There’s a reason it’s so empty. You can have the worlds best things but nobody can imagine the climate and strict rules. I might visit someday but will lower my expectations. Thanks for the honest video :)
That was fun and informative to watch Eli. Thanks for posting and good luck on your next adventure.
Very well said and it sums it up perfectly: sometimes the scenic roads are the detours you never planned to make.
Thanks for your videos. Traveling opens the minds. We all need to learn from each other’s cultures with an open mind. Please keep up with these videos.
Glad that you were able to meet Kat again.
That's some honest review i love it 🙌🏼🔥
❤️ From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
I've never been in UAE but I watched a lot of videos. I agree it's very artificial and not suited for life. The only one exception is Masdar City - it's the only well thought out project built for people and not just because they can. I hope it will be a great success and show the world how cities should be designed.
might be artificial , but it looks fun, clean and quite beautiful.

As a older NY'er The city used to be amazing back in the 80's 90's but people who come here now sadly dont realize its crap compared to back then. I gladly would trade for Dubai no crime homeless people and piss smells from the subway.
I go to Dubai every few months for leisure travel and there is no other place like it on Earth. I live in Los Angeles, but I would trade that for Dubai any day of the week and twice on Sunday. The cost of living in Dubai is so much cheaper than L.A. and the weather is better, though hard to believe but it is. I like HOT and Dubai in the summer months is boiling. NICE!! Without a doubt, the most beautiful city on the planet.
Las Vegas has desert as well and cheaper than LA so why flying across the globe for heat.
@@radicalPeanut 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
you are absolutely rightful sir
@@smartidea2987 Dubai is fake
@@radicalPeanut Because of the beauty of Dubai. Dubai makes Los Angeles look like a dump and that shows you just how state-of-the-art Dubai is in every way possible. If you have never been there, then you can't imagine what i am talking about. The biggest, the fastest, the tallest, the most money etc etc etc, that is Dubai and there is no other place like it. I've traveled to more then 40 countries and hundreds of cities around the world and Dubai beats them all!
Hi I am visit Russia next month. Your channel is good. I want to meet next month. Always I love with you ❤️
that´s cool that you´re learning italian!
Thank for working hard
Living and working in Abu Dhabi for almost 2 years and it’s absolutely amazing: work is great, salary beyond anything you can earn in Europe, mesmerizing cosmopolitan vibe with 200 nationalities , super value for money if you know your way around, lots of nature ( such as mangrove forests) around almost all of the many Abu Dhabi islands (and even in the middle of the city) , wonderful culture and fascinating history, beautiful desert and mountain sceneries and an absolute dream climate (even in summer) with blue skies and sun every single day of the year …which is wonderful if you originate ( like me) from depressing cold, dull, grey, rainy and frosty Nortwestern Europe 🥶. So happy to be here.
Only one small disadvantage…..too many Russians find their way down here 😅 even though I’ve got some wonderful Russian friends in Abu Dhabi
Hello, thank-you for your feedback. I am from Canada where it's cold 6 months of the year. Can you outline the expenses ( higher end) for a family of 4( mortgage/ rentals, travel, schooling, entertainment etc). Thank-you again.
I agree with you been living in dubai for 20 yrs.. those who says it ‘s all artificial have not seen the whole of dubai with it’s nature desserts & mountains & oasis and most of all the cleanliness because discipline is practice here, peacefulness with less crime & safety of all where you can walk even in the middle of the night, leave your cars anywhere without being smash or carnap, bags, celphones without the worrries of being stolen.. that’s it .. i just so love living in dubai
@@julietmallari7370 this redhead lady is nothing but a hateful russian. dubai is wonderful tourist country.
You forgot to mention there is no street fights . No drunkards, can leave your car running in the streets with keys on. No racial abuse. Night life. Safety.
This girl has no clue what she is talking.
She say it's very hot. So what we can still move around 24/7 365 days unlike in Europe in winters you can't hardly go outside
Haha yeah sure maybe if you’re white. But ain’t that the harsh truth, having lesser melanin is the key to living an easy life here
Mashallah. Enchanting.
Happy Saturday - always looking forward to your uploads. I am also surprised by the Palms area - I also thought it would be a strand of sand, water both sides, with just some houses. So interesting to see the reality - has blown my concept.
Appreciate you are visiting friendly nations with pride, making the most of the artificially hostile situation created by those nations.Enjoy🙂
You two girls are truly fun. Katusha is a beautiful girl. Hope you´ve turned the page on the fake Russian display episode. Your face was a poem! The Yemeni stands caught my attention though the clip was brief. Nuts and fruit make for an extraordinary combination. The artificial feeling you percieved in Dubai is becoming prevalent in many Western cities. Noise, posters masking the sites, abnoxious illumination, zombie-like people and lack of natural harmony. Given your experience, you´ve become a great quasi-neutral observeress. Cheers, Eli!
People who say artificial have absolutely no clue and just repeating words. If you se how clean, safe and prosperous it is you would realize bow beautiful it is
It does seem like a giant theme park.
Some people enjoy the life they offer there.
Others like more natural settings.
Eli that was fascinating and a beautiful video, thank you Xx
Kat’s voice is so so catchy, I could listen it for hours
Your videos about Russia are the best and most interesting. It’s the great unknown!! Most people have been most other places in the world but there is so much to discover about Russia. 🇷🇺 Amazing country.
Lets just accept it...Eli is cuteness You keep opening the Russian dolls and its another Russian doll, and another..and they (should all look like Eli) and she brings in a friend named Kat. And you wonder about life, and cuteness, laughter, and growing old... Giggles and laughter, and knowing I'm past doing the Polar-plunge...so that's good. A thumb-up for Eli and Kat.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Today while watching a video about Dubai, I learned that women from Russia are beautiful.
I was in Dubai in 2021 Christmas time. I enjoyed it , tall buildings like New York , very expensive. My son spends a lot of time there ( working).. as a top DJ .. Abu Dubai is nice too ..
I’m living and still living in Dubai for more than 10 years….just be open minded, Dubai was built for a specific purpose, just enjoy your time and live your life.
Eli, I worked in the ME and do not miss it at all. I do live in Dude I, better known as Texas that is hot too, but at least most places identify as Mexican here. We did have a Russian open an Italian food restaurant here in town.
That was very joyful. Thank you foruploading:)
Love Dubai. Called it home for 5 years. However, the moist level and especially the FUNGUS and MOLDS inside buildings (from Deira all the way to Marina)is disastrous . Only brand new and recently finished buildings are exempt from the over growing molds - basically anywhere in the apartment or the office or the shop. The worst is Dubai Mall - I catch more and more shops there covering the smell by spraying scents… even on the main passages of the mall. Another thing - the air quality is poor. If you have even a slightly bad sinusitis or anything with lungs… this is not your place to go. Another thing is : be aware you could get cheated wherever you go (except inside the malls). And last but not least: Covid and Russia-Ukraine war made the prices in Dubai skyrocketing which is not a thing I can accept having on mind the service level did not improve. One thing which is nice is: people are generally kind and polite - the foreign labor are kind and polite as they are forced to be. The majority of them are coming from quite poor countries so they do not want to make ANY mistakes and being sent back home (not just fired from work). This being said - I prefer fake polite than genuine and rude people. As a tourist place Dubai is maybe quite nice. But living there… a few things must improve before I return.
There is some irony in your comment about foreign labor. People who travel to Dubai help keep the kafala system in place. It seems that on the surface, you know about it but you don't care as long as you have a good time in Dubai.
As long as there is peace and you have money, whereever you will go is a nice place.
I really enjoyed this video Eli. I totally agree with your opinions of Dubai. My cousin worked in Dubai and I went to visit him for 3 days. I think it was the hot season, so I did not enjoy the city of Dubai. I did not see as many things as you did. I just found Dubai too commercial and artificial. I don't think I would like to visit Dubai again.
A city that arose from the desert in 2 decades of real estate speculation run amok is not worth visiting, no matter how pretty the skyline is. The main factor, THE HEAT&HUMIDITY. you mentioned. UGH !

@@sammyboss-yc2kr When you knock down the door of the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates BEGGING to get a work visa with the full knowledge of the salary that you will be getting when you get there, you are NOT a slave! Neither the government of Dubai nor any of the businesses there (Emirati or otherwise) are putting the gun to anybody's head insisting that they come and work in Dubai. Take a course in business management in order to know what I am talking about Einstein!
Your March 8th short video is excellent! I keep playing it again and again!
Eli, you would love Australia 🍻🐨. Its the perfect balance between urban living and nature. The climate is tropical and its a safe place to travel.

You have such a cool channel! I cannot believe I have not found this sooner. You have a long time viewer here I have never been out of United States I want to travel so much
Dubaii is not a place it's heaven
I would love to buy an apartment in Dubai and visit there often. It’s safe, clean and there are no harsh winters or flooding like in many places today. If it’s too hot every place has air conditioning. There are restaurants with foods from all over the world, there’s every single designer shop and if you want local markets theres souqs everywhere. You meet people from all corners of the world in one place and make lots of cool new friends. And the nightclubs are just next level. You won’t find those pickpockets and bag snatchers like you do in Paris, London, Italy etc either.
Which country are you from?
@@Woollzable I wouldn’t say I’m from just one. Blessed to have always lived in a few at a time from Kenya, Germany, Canada and currently in the United Kingdom but always travelling around. Why?
I love Dubai for its multi nationality. Had a chance to meet and interacting with people from various nationality and tribes. It's quite a life experience. Other than that, it sucks tbh. For vacation or adventure, well ok. But to actually live there is quite tough imo, unless you're rich or have a big salary. One thing for sure that you will always be a second or third class resident. Have you ever live in a place that you always feel you don't belong there? Well, that 😊
Im from europe and white and i very well feel like i belong here, i dont belong to europe though.

Еще одно отличное видео Эли.
Hi lovely Eli from Russia, nice to see you again.
Very interesting documentation about Dubai. Thank you
Greets from Poland. I hope you will visit and enjoy our country soon.
I have not been to Dubai, but for various reasons I never wanted to go there. Although the warm weather like in South America would suit me. As an original European, I would like the climate, quality of life, etc. in Sochi and Krasnodar better. If I wanted to change, I would choose these two cities in Russia. Greetings from Ecuador.
We have better looking women in latin America
Love from BANGLADESH. I see your every single video.keep it up .
Uae is a very nice country, the people over there r sweet and rlly nice. I’d def recommend to go uae for a visit or to live there. MashAllah beautiful and organized country. Everyone is amazing there and I love the security and safety over there honestly amazing 10/10, love uae.
I have been to Dubai a few times. Unless you are travelling here on a budget pre plan what you what to see. Also there is a hostel out by the airport if you are travelling on a budget. Only about a hundred meters to the metro train system. If you hav an early flight to the airport just walk out of the hostel and flag down a taxi if you have a flight out. Also if you want to experience a bit more culture travel to some of the smaller communities which have some hostels
Incorrect comment about 'everything opens at 4 pm'. It applies to Global village as its totally outdoors and not suitable to roam about during the day when its very hot. There are tons of activities to do during the day which can start as early as you want. If you want outdoor activities, there are beautiful beaches and parks. All malls are open from 10 am till midnight. There are places which open even earlier and open past midnight. There are also lots of places to eat at pocket friendly prices all around UAE and open beyond midnight and all the cuisines from around the globe. And its the most safest city in the world.
First clip i saw where the ad has more soul than the destination. Thanks for the other ones, pretty good. The islands btw. are made of local sand. Fine sand, very very fine sand.
Now i'm curious to hear about how you almost got kidnapped in India. 😅 Seems like many women who visit there have a scary story to tell. Did you travel alone or with a friend?
She do FSB so sit back and enjoy.
YOU TOUCHED A PENGUIN???? IM JEALOUS!!!

YES DUBAI WORTH THE HYPE ONLY IF YOU HAVE JOB OVER THERE SECONDLY IF YOU PREFER NATURAL BEAUTY THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER GREAT CHOICES
Thanks for the honest feedback, I would have same experience like you. Nature is very important for my travel so ….
You are amazing and very honest in your opinion sad to hear that they don’t let u film amazing Russian food stalls you should visit Pakistan north Hunza valley
Eli your the prettiest and love your videos
