- Imagine waking up and stepping outside to hundreds of identical Disney like castles. In 2014 that was the idea to create the Burj Al Babas village. A company wanted to build 732 chateaus for wealthy foreigners but in 2018 they went bank rupt on this 200,000,000 dollar project. Today only 537 stand in a mountainous area in Turkey completely abandoned. Join us on our journey to the abandoned Burj Al Babas.

I don’t understand why they built so many without selling along the way to keep the money coming in. Why build so many uncomplicated houses ? Very strange.
Exactly
China has real estate problems as well. The people thought putting money into real estate was their way to grow their fortune. So they invested in companies that built places like these or houses that will never get built because the company ends up folding.
build them in sections and sell/rent them as you build. who on EARTH thought building all of this at once was a good idea??
What would be the best way to do it?
I, as a Turk, this is the best idea for bankrupt.They succeeded.
@@jesuslagunes3658to build like 5 have them move in build 5 more
probably thought theyd save some money that way haha
We, as a Turk, follow you as a family, when that dishonest security guard realized that you guys tourist,he immediately asked for money, I wish you had complained… I would also like to thank Mr. Engin for hosting you well.
Moureno and Carter are both beautiful people. We had a very nice and fun time.
@@enginersoydan i know engin,carter his is good man,we follow him,and you also good man engin.
@@enginersoydan thank you so much engin,I subscribed you channel
@@amazingguy1 thank you sir. 👍👍👍
security guard in civilian clothes? 🤣
Holy cow, a 200 million bucks project completly abandoned, its heart breaking. Why they dont give just one of these castles to me?
hell yeah I agree with you🤣🤣🤣
what would you do with it ? You would essentially be living in a brick house with no electricity plumming or heating? not to mention you would need to repair the house to make it even protect you from the wind. then there is also the fact it is in turkey a country known for there questionable treatment of non turks.
being given one would be worse then not being given one because you will have something useless in your life that ypou need to wworry about
@@si2foo lmao true and the houses are in the middle of nowhere
I get what you mean, they are beautiful, but there are too many and they need finishing. Wealthy people wouldn't want to live like this, all in the same identical property, it's madness. I would only like to teleport there to explore them, although having seen one would know them all! I would not want to live there or be gifted one. Not ideal. But magical to hang out there for a short time.
I take it
WOW! It's amazing to me the waste of money on this project! Thank you for sharing, and what a nice guy you got to meet! Hope you both enjoy your trip!
Not a waste they probably made a movie and got more money than they originally made for the first part and the second probably designs.
Both properties were crazy. It was a really cool explore. I enjoyed it. Neat, neat and more neat. Too bad they never got finished. What a waste. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Thank you!
Easy to say in with hindsight why it failed. But:
1. Nearly 120KM from the Black Sea or anything remotely resembling sea front
2. The prices indicated on the brochure are comparative to 1-3 bedroom flats and apartments in central London. Overpriced.
3. Closest airport is over 140KM away
4. Whilst in the mountains, it doesn't offer anything remotely 'picturesque' or something out of the ordinary.
5. Surrounding areas look very underdeveloped.
I feel sorry for the people who purchased properties before the construction started. Poor advise.
Could you imagine what they would look like if they could have finished them, just how amazing it all would be.
Amazingly abysmal.
Somebody needs to buy and finish this project immediately.
@@johngirard8554 Finally someone who believe money comes from tree.
@@johngirard8554 Disney needs to buy it
They were beautiful abandoned. I could only imagine how beautiful the outcome would be if they succeeded. Seems like they bit off more than they could chew. Awesome video!
Thank you for showing us your travels getting to turkey, no luggage, troubles with the security guard, and meeting the great Turkish man who invited you into his home. The journey is half the fun.
Shame they ran out of money but I also couldn't imagine saying I'm the 26th Castle on the left 😂 Great content
😂😂
Thank you so much for another amazing journey. I was so worried about you when you were hanging out at that random dude’s house. Lol. Love cats too
I love your channel!!! This is better then watching Netflix…
Hundreds of identical castles...kinda defeats the idea of owning a castle
They suburbanized an otherwise unique design. Looks almost dystopic.
It's interesting that none of the weeds and other random vegetation is so brown, not a bit of green anywhere.
Creepy!!!
The styrofoam is for insulation and stop the air getting through the cracks
Makes sense but wouldn’t you need something over the styrofoam to keep it from weathering?? 🤷🏼♀️
@@shanlynn81 there is an outer coat which would help with weathering you can see how it looks like a wood product which is like a cement board
This is such an awesome underrated video. You documented something so interesting and made an awesome friend. It's so wholesome and cool :-)
When you can't decide on how your Minecraft base should look.
We're you able to get all your stuff back? And I'm happy to hear you both made it safely home! God bless you both 🙏
Great video buddy, this is a dream for every urban explorer!
Thank you bro!
Off the bat I was going too say China and definitely not Turkey. From conception this idea was doomed too fail.
Booya.... you couldnl't have hooked up with anyone better than Moreno...loved his channel for years. This is great...what a wonderful surprise and a great team up. AWESOME
Two of my favorite explorers together in Turkey. What a treat. What a unique experience that you made a new friend who cooked for you and invited you to stay in his home for the night. Shout out to Engin! How did I miss this video 2 months ago? My bad. It won't happen again.
The kindness of strangers, gives you a nice warm feeling.
Carter, I absolutely love your channel, awesome stuff, hi from 🇬🇧
What a waste of money time and effort, doesn't make any sense to build so many all at once without selling any of them and finishing any of them.
Styrofoam for decoration and insulation. Concrete roofs are a great idea. They would never need replacing and would not be damaged in hail storms. No garages = no sale! Maybe the market just rejected the whole idea.
Aw how cool,Bigbankz and Maureno exploring together only one missing is Remon,where is he?👍❤️🇺🇸
Damn, they know how to waste imagine all the trees they had to chop down and all the Resources they had to mine to build all of those. when they could have built so many houses for actual people 🤯
I really enjoyed this video. Thank u for ure hard work and showing us everything.Looking forward for ure next video.For now God Bless u ure wife and ure buddy that was with u today.
Rumors have it that there's plans to finish this project in 2022 hence security....seems they're trying to make some money on the side lol 2k dang.
Amazing explore and with two of my favourite explorers! But such an ill thought out project for the investors in the Disney castles.......such a waste. Why not space the buildings out and sell a few of them off to fund the next phase? This was a criminal way to ruin a naturally beautiful area. It should never have been started.
Well done guys.
Thanks for sharing such an awesome/amazing video. That was so cool, I can just about imagine how they would of looked if they were finished!👍
Such a wastage of money !! Anyway, another amazing find. Thanks for sharing BB. Love from India ❤🙏
DailyDoesOfInternet brought me here
same
Wow crazy abandoned city good work BB HJ ( xplorer llttf)
Thank You! Beyond strange! And why the styrofoam on the outside of the houses that make it look like wood? Gave me goosebumps just watching it
The Styrofoam is used to for testing different looks and styles, it's cheaper to make and simulate than the actual materials, which is why it was only seen on the test houses that were more developed.
Well, George Bluthe Sr really hit a home run with this lot. Michael is going to be livid.
The first homes you hit look to be "Sarot Country Villa". Could be wrong, but they do look nearly the same.
Wow BigBankz! So glad you got to show us this place! Enjoyed it very, very much! Stay safe! Looking forward to Alabama. You rock!
Thank you so much!
So many why's, why did a company make so many should of focused on 20 houses not 500 gees crazy
Hey! It's great to see Maureno on here. Nice to watch two guys that I follow take us on a journey to Turkey!! Can you imagine what this place would look like if all those mini castles were all done..great find guys! Stay safe healthy and blessed out there...from Southern California 🍃🍂
wow beautiful country, loved the castles, your friend I don't know how to spell his name turned out to be awesome, and I love cats too, I had a cat she was a grey color long haired, if I held food up above her head she would stand on her back feet, I could move it in a circle and she would turn around on her back feet in a circle, she passed July of this year and was 14 years old, I really enjoyed the video and can't wait to see the rest, thank you for sharing
I want.
To go.
Camping.
There.
It will be a multiple-day expedition. The first night will be camping on a hill overlooking the place. I wake up the next morning, do a morning routine like making breakfast and packing up as I overlook this place in the distance: like having a goal physically in sight. I explore for a bit and set up a new camp somewhere either in the middle of the road or in a house. Maybe I'll set up some torches or something, or make a place for a bonfire. I'll probably like make a mark here by making a safe campfire or something like that, not with something that would ruin the whole place like with spray paint or something stupid. And if I make a campfire, on the third day, I'll go back up the hill and see the place as the sun goes down. The idea of the campfire came from me being able to see it from a distance on top of a hill.
Though, I probably won't go here alone. I definitely want to bring some friends. It would be like a fun place and a cool thing that I'd want to do with my best friend(s). A wonderful and mysterious experience.
The whole place also gives me vibes as I would probably want to live in a place like this in a zombie apocalypse or in some sort of dystopia. Hopefully, it will be isolated from the rest of society. It will just be me, maybe a couple of other people in my group, and a whole bunch of identical Disney castle things.
200,000,000 for 732 castles? That's less than 250k per castle o_O
The construction and materials in these structures is very similar to what I've seen on movie sets in various locations. They too are created using fiberglass and styrofoam which have a great appearance but up close are crumbling and seriously flawed.
Did you ever find out what the first houses were with the styrofoam on the outside?
Bro Disney needs to buy this and make it really happen
The Friend you made Mr. Engin was really awesome. I love how welcoming and happy he was to share his home with you guys. It is very wholesome to see such a connection with a great friendly local
What a ride! This is next level, amazing work - can't knock your persistence!
What a stupid idea and what a waste of raw materials and energy
Seriously, You guys are so brave to be doing all the traveling and unknowns just to make these videos. I am so happy to watch all I can. Be safe stay well an rested. Thank You both an your new friends . ❤❤
Are there any developments like either of these that are occupied? I know abandoned is your thing, and you do it well, I just think it would be interesting to see something like that full of residents. Safe travels, enjoy!!
lol…. Check out any 50s suburban subdivision probably pretty close.👍🏻 by the way. He does do it well & Explomo (Maureno & Remon) have an awesome channel too! It was an unexpected surprise that blew me away!
@@MaMaSmo123 I would like to see a neighborhood full of this type of novelty housing with people living there. I've never seen 50's suburban homes that look like these.
Grosse Pointe Shores, a Detroit suburb located on the western shore of Lake St. Clair, is the wealthiest town in Michigan.
Not meaning to offend anyone. I'm 73 and we had plenty of high brow inner city suburbs we used to ride thru on Sundays with their Caddy's in the Driveway and castle like peek bedrooms. ...Houses rarely stay the same when people add their own touches. Sorry you felt I was criticizing you.
@@MaMaSmo123 didnt feel criticism, just misunderstood. I want to see a neighborhood like in the video. The novel houses like in the videi, 3feet apart with people residing there.
Even the castles are built using Styrofoam. I dont know why they do this in Turkey but its common.
No rhyme nor reason to those houses. What a terrible waste.
Are these places not Homeless people's paradise?
As someone who lived through the 70's and have seen my fair share of tacky, these houses do rank right up there with brown.
The camera movements are hard to keep track of. I had to stop watching.
This man is so kind and welcoming to u both to his home.
Crazy they're all concrete! They'd withstand hurricanes!🌀
Creepy giving very much occult
Your videos are becoming better each time ☺ getting a little like Steve Ronin
The border between Asia and Europe in Turkey does not run on land but in the Bosporus.
Just started watching your content bro what a beautiful spot wow urbex explore is awsome nothing better then a good explor and good back story
Hi Maureno, nice to see you two together. I'll look forward to watching your version of this intriguing explore.
Wow unreal what a place 😯
This is so crazy How this Company spend so much money in building this amazing beautiful castles and never got done! What a waste? Instead of building less but been able to finish the project! I wonder why they don't give or sell them to people who don't have a home
There! I don't know how wealthy people are there? It's probably like you either have money or your poor on poverty there? Please stay safe 🙏 and I hope you can actually get your stuff back? Thanks for sharing
The styrofoam fixtures would likely have been sprayed over with a thick stone-textured paint. Not uncommon in cheaper builds.
Hey Explomo, If you're from Amsterdam, do you know my favorite Dutch trance DJ, Armin Van Buuren? Gotta love ASOT💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶 amazing find guys.💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖
It’s funny to hear you call them Disney Castles because Disney based their Castles on true European castles. I think they actually started with a foam base. Thinking of your first stop.
Exactly. It is so silly to me.
Foam could be for echo and noise traveling reduction purposes in the area, because the houses were built so close to each other that you could hear your neighbours fart if people chilled outside in their gardens
Too many too close!
I find it hard to believe they never started with 15 and could see how it would go. They could keep money coming in as they continued. Sad about this money and time wasted.
Great videos guys, Stay safe an well.. I really enjoy BB an Explomo videos. 👍😊❤️❤️
I hate flying even when everything goes right. I can’t imagine how furious I’d be if I flew halfway across the world in my luggage didn’t show up.
Love you BigBanks and Maureno I love explomo!!! You guys are awesome!!
why they need to build 530 castle..they should build 100 castle then sell it .when someone buy it then build another 100 castle ..
Awesome video!
Hopefully Daily Dose brings you some much deserved subs/views 🤑🤑😁😉
I don't see the draw of 732 identical Disney castle homes. Who were they marketing these to ? 732 Michael Jacksons ???
The foam on the outside is for isolation purposes, Its commonly used in Balkan and surrounding countries
This is a good example of superiority of socialist system. In socialist country government provide citizens with free lodging, in capitalist hundreds of houses stay empty.
The developer must have be grown in a Hong Kong residential skyscraper... He used the same mindset for these and it really look like a bad nightmare, who the hell would live in such a village?
Technology is better now with 3D printing.
Did any humans build these little styrofoam creations?
Why didnt they just opened with what they had. And with time they could have completed the project. Crazy how they dont have the money to complete. Eyes are bigger than pockets.
How another investors don’t get interest in buy this all project and continue to get it down, they could make a good money out of this, of course they wouldn’t pay the 200 M but they could pay half and finish this beautiful project
I can't help but to think whoever did this got greedy. Think about it. If they only did 300 (wich is still a crazy amount) they could have finished it and they would have made money off of it by now.
Concrete! Styrofoam? Cost cutting? That's crazy but they do have different construction codes if at all in Turkey. Were they the same builders as the castles that went bankrupt? I have so many questions! Lol
What? I wouldn’t live there for free. It looks scary and creepy. Not to mention I don’t anything I’m low income😳
And people are homeless I'm gathering a group of homeless people who are clean of drugs and mental issues and starting a community here... Farm, water catchment and sola we're stealing and doing what ever it takes real mad max style. I'm definitely living in luxury for free
Nice. Finland had many times loan fuckloads off money and turkey is doing think's lke this.! Nice. We are never going to get those loans back.
The reason why its Styrofoam is because it's cheap materials and cheap development. One of these houses would be beautiful if done properly and not part of a mass ant-nest like complex.
This happened in China too. Selling a dream for investors they build whole cities that will never be lived in and even promise houses that will never be built as a ways to increase their wealth. Everyone thinks real estate is the way to make your fortune but sadly that’s not always the case. Big building companies sell the dream but they are the only ones making money until the money dries up and the ponzi-esque scheme crumbles. They needed more and more investors to pay for the building of homes that others had already bought.
Its so odd that you guys refer to them as disney like castles. These type of castles are included in all types of fairytales. I am not sure what makes them particularly "disney like" to you guys.....
This is very interesting and People Need Places to Live.
Sooo, why do they have security if it's abandoned? Who is paying for security?
Wow
Really enjoyed this exploration. The first set of houses were kind of creepy how they were all built the same. The castles are pretty, just bizarre that they have so many castles. Thank you for showing us this.
If it had been successful, you would have had all these houses close together and all the same monotonous style without variation. Ugh!
They put them too close together,they should have arranged them better,with front yards, & backyards,& swimming pools. LoL
It’s in Asia. They live close and multiple people in one house.
Came from tik tok, good job spreading yourself socially. GL
