The Sudanese businesswoman who married a German, loves the desert 🏝️, & has a successful Camel-milk chocolate business is my favorite part of this very well-made documentary. Thank you. 👍😎
In 2003, 33 test holes were drilled to study the strength of the bedrock underlying the structure. "Weak to very weak sandstone and siltstone" was found, just metres below the surface. Samples were taken from test holes drilled to a depth of 140 metres, finding weak to very weak rock all the way.
Yeah, Great informative video Indeed. UAE Great Country, Great Food and Great Amazing People. I spend a lot of time over there and enjoyed the multi cultural life. Much love and respect from Pakistan. 🌍🌹
This is a Very Good Documentary. Keep It Up
Wow,ang dami flamingo.masarap b yan kainin.
I love your videos very much they are very knowledgeable brilliant keep it up
Music is too loud!
Very good, best and marvelous documentary.
Appreciates the hard work.
Please make video on Istanbul, turkey.
Those wooden boats are cool.
There's a word for what this movie calls "dow-boats." We call them "dhaos."
dhow
/dou/ noun
a lateen-rigged ship with one or two masts, used in the Indian Ocean.
And if they asked around. somebody could probably tell them how to pronounce the mysterious "Qatar."
I don't think it's a matter of stupidity. The guy is just English. is all. They're not born that way: they have schools and mass media that make them like that.
It the most amazing thing to see so many people from all around the world working side by side...
Dubai is an amazing place to visit, an engineers wet dream. Driving into downtown at dusk/night, feels like you're playing a Star Wars VR game.
John Tomoson Yes and go to prison with no trial if you are gay, or not married and sleep in hotel room with spouse.
John Tomoson Enjoy your skin cancer
@Garcia Calavera just like Arizona, Nevada. Etc.
mark pope that’s not true
GtheMVP. I would never even visit a place where the ruler kidnaps and imprisons his adult daughter
Spark, do you have any SEA documentary?
Dubai is situated on the Persian Gulf coast of the United Arab Emirates and is roughly at sea level (16 m or 52 ft above). The emirate of Dubai shares borders with Abu Dhabi in the south, Sharjah in the northeast, and the Sultanate of Oman in the southeast
Design of the boat is so beautiful! How incredible!
Lots to see and do in Dubai old town is amazing
Its nice that in the public market selling fish they have uniform..it looks beautiful and you can easily identify those selling products like fish and those buying through the clothes they wear.
I have been to Dubai many times and enjoy it every time I visit
Wow, I honestly had no idea Dubai was so open and cosmopolitan. Interesting place.
Believe that...and then get yourself incarcerated just because you infringed any of their stupid and evil medieval Laws...!
👌
it's not
How I can find this amazing music in background
Does Spark Company also provide technician service?
GREAT DOCUMENTARY..I REALLY LIKE IT....LOVE U DUBAI
The technician that the Spark Company takes, gives it to the supply and it has a direct contact with the company.
A travelogue so glowing and full of praise... Makes me wonder if this can really be the paradise on earth it claims to be? Huh?
Dubai is Extremely neat it's a neat city.
Jaden Claws. Neat with a lot of heat😂😂😂
Exactly. Clean, neat and almost no street crime. But then you have all these people complaining that it is "soulless". So if you go to a big filthy, american city and get mugged on a street corner you can say to yourself that in comparison to Dubai, this city has SOUL!!!
music is louder than voice, hard to hear
useful comment. cheers
OMG! Hanging around for 15 years and not a word of Arabic! WOW!!!...
"We can freely express ourselves, except about religion" In other words, then can not...
And i like their fake excitement for art, ignoring the fact that it's just one of many new ways to make tons of money, because the oil money is fading.
Nice documentary though. Dubai is a beautiful city. The contrast between traditional center and modern extravagant outer circles is beautiful.
And you've got to love the UAE for using their wealth for improvement. They reinvest everything. That is amazing. Other oil rich countries like Saudi Arabia or Russia use most of it for wars, while their people stay poor. Or Venezuela who just failed in every way.
Nice
16:30 al faheedi old town district
Is it just me or does the guy at 2:04 look like Will Smith!!
yup thats the other brother abdul smith
Mwawi Mfuni that’s his brother lol
It's just you...
Lol he looks like an older will Smith!
@@davidk6656 he does look like Will Smith. U seem like a very racist hateful person 😒
i love dubai. was ther 2015.
Even though the university is free the students men and woman are affluent ( the girl interviewed was wearing Christian Dior glasses). The poorer and probably younger men and woman striving to be middle class or have a decent life are already working long long days. Not going to university. Free or not they have no choice but to work.
Boy that's what I do. Show up at a construction sight in my sandals.
The camel chocolate! My favorite part of this documentary. Thank you for sharing.
I hoped one the i would like to visit to see the golden fantastic beauty's outstanding standards tall so greatest excellent beauty's charming amazing memorable place comments by Kamla Samlal
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
At 17:33 the student insinuates her education is free? Is university/college free in Dubai? Can anyone confirm pls? I googled and found no definitive answers. Thanks!
It's free for citizens and highly expensive for international students.
I Hope The 4 Rivers Come To Reality ! It's Balance The Rift Of Desert Quality *
What is that
Oil rich is extremely serious... look at Dubai... wow... an amazing work of art... not what you hear about in the media... wow...
I thought the Chocolate Camel was pretty cool!
Beautiful Dubai 🌹 👍 🌹
I love watching your fantastic awesome amazing building it have great successful gorgeous intelligence beauty outstanding place by k'samlal
Dubai??
Dubai is not a Megacity.A Megacities population must be 10 million.But Dubai population only 2 million.
I loved the chocolate camels, made with actual camel milk. Great to see a sudanese having a successful business, shame what's happening in sudan.
@Mr. P. Enis Hell on earth
Fira Nurmino. Subsidised by KSA.
Music is to load 😒
Why this is example of bad documentary ? It doesn't stick to a main subject (DUBAI). It follows more personal life of people that live there.
background music is too loude
The title day skyscrapers. Why am I watching boat building?
Who's the man at the end lol hawt
Love Dubai!
Fuck Dubai mistreated innocents ppl n slaveries. W/o oil or slaveries Dubai just like hell nice n hot bc they are too stupid n lazy to wrk or do anything.
Data Mining. I take from that you are male? This is the place where the ruler has kidnapped and imprisoned his adult daughter. You could not even pay me to visit this place.
17.46
1330 that where the bullet goes.
who is spark?
im sure one day the desert will take everything back too hot for my liking never thought i would miss green grass and forests i guess you have to leave where you are from to understand how beautiful Europe is
Nikola Bakich Yh And rape fu gees which are over running Europe now thx to the EU and that witch Angela merkel.
nah been to europe a couple of times but i would say it one of the most overrated place on earth. I have visited all majore european cities as well as the smaller tiny ones which have no tourists but none of them are even in my top 10 best cities. I prefer metropolitcal cities of the middle east and lush areas of east easia more than europe. (btw switzerland is the most overated country in the world)
Amazing city 😍😍🇦🇪🇦🇪
They speak Arabic and English interchangeably. That's cool
11:45 i don’t think he want that😭
Who have dream to visit Dubai ...like me ?
If your dream is to visit Dubai, then you're not dreaming big enough!
Best documentry ever
😁
Propaganda is not documentary. UAE subsidized this.
I'm pretty sure a Dubai would never wash a single dish.
Uae is the best tourism place
🇦🇪 البيت!
The music is too noisy compared to the narrator
16:55 these people can do anything when it comes to money but can't plant trees and make it green!
Alpsbeach Bruh... Dubai is planting lots of trees in other parts of Dubai. It’s also harder to plant trees in a desert unlike the USA.
@@tickyotacky Oh they can make artificial islands like dubai palm but in the land they can't do anything to grow trees wow! ok got it!
Is this the place where the ruler kidnapped and imprisoned his adult daughter?
No that is in Saudi Arabia.
Incorrect. Princess Latifa bint Mohammed Al Maktoum is a member of the DUBAI ruling family.
Princess Latifa’s vile father is best mates with Elizabeth of England so that doesn’t say much for her! (But then Lizzie’s son is pretty vile as well).
Yes two daughters are still missing:(
To all believers and non believers, "THE FINAL JUDGEMENT," is at hand, know that what you choose and accept for your spirit (including your actions in the carnal), will be your eternal fate... You must be very cautious how you choose to live from here on out!
Please there are no lukewarm heavenly bodies in Heaven!!!
Choose now, in your heart and spirit, righteousness or evil?!!
I wanna go there one day, for have some fun, very very cute city in the world
Yes Moray you are correct and also where the wife of the ruler fled Dubai to London to escape from him and is in the posses of a divorce. When going there Dubai, be very careful, its not what it seems at times
john kidd. You could not pay me to go there.
how this country got water ?
Athallah Fathur Harahap Wells. Water channels.
@@nikkisultan68 in desert ?
Water in UAE and many other middle eastern countries is produced through desalination.
nabeelmohammedca I think he means initially.. like a hundredyears ago
underground reservoir
it is called Arabian Gulf
Interesting the native people speak of “what they have done here” as if they made a personal sacrifice, but it really comes down to the wealth obtained through oil profits. With the fortunes made it is natural to develop the country.
venezuela had more oil then uae just look at their country lol.
The worat place I have ever visited is Dubai, materialistic life
UA-cam moderator
Yes the city is magnificent but with no poetry and songs. Zero emotions only money speaks not drop a respect to the labours who toil to build the city not even money to make the livelihood great only exploitation.
hahahaha, that was good Subrato, I would also add on top of no music and poetry, NO DANCING :) I love some Indian movies but lets face it, we cannot complain that the world is not like a Bollywood movie. And exploitation... yes it does exist but it is not worse than India, Pakistan or Bangladesh where many foreign workers come from.
Think for your india where innocent people are killed by RSS.and not spread gober.they not like.
@@beldiman5870 Yes you are to some extent right but this is not matter of compare with south Asian countries where I agree exploitation does exist but we cannot expect from here cause so much afluenza is there so much grandeur exist where exploitation does not fit should uplift the basic lifestyle which is must for human being. And world expect this from these petro dollar rich countries where we know poetry and emotions have no value only sycophancy matters
@@subratachatterjee672 Thanks for your reply. I was wondering why people from the Indian subcontinent keep on coming to the Gulf countries for work , despite all the abuse, poor working conditions, broken promises regarding payment, etc. Thousands of workers ( especially in constructions) are dying every year. What is your opinion about this? Cheers
The power of oil !!!
"Everyone in Dubai lives in luxury"?? Have you also asked the Indians and Pakistani that are hid far away from the city somewhere in the desert? That are kept there and treated like slaves, beacuse they took their passports and indebted them? Not a single word? Very poor to show only the fassade the city wants us to see. Quality journalism looks differently. But probably the tourism authority sponsored this video, didn't it?
People are so naive...
26:57 Her.
Ya, no thanks.
Haters be haten. You know dam well if you had the money you would want to go.
Oh brilliant debate technique. If you disagree with me you are jealous. Right!
The Jaguar King. I would not dream of going to Dubai. Even the rulers adult daughter has no basic human rights. She has been kidnapped and is currently imprisoned.
wouldn't go there even if they paid me. You must be insanely naive.
Slave to the Grind Skid Row
City of illusion like USA
The sisters cover themselves in dark cloth, and wrap themselves in darkness why?
When they could have chosen white and green which is mentioned in AL Qur'an about those whom are successful and return to ALLAH.
Too many mistakes being made by people falsely claiming Islam.
Un countries around the world.
There is no Equal right for Non Muslim in Abu Dubai.
They don't give Citizenship to Non Muslim and Even don't allow to be Build church on their own land
Traditional Kalasnikov .
And THEIR 'boy' STILL invests in infrastructure.
Slave to the dollar.
I agree....it sparks up the docu
25 minutes, the Muslim women that put you in "Awwwh"
do they really have to wear the same clothes?
Lol 😂😂😂 it's their traditional costume. And they proud of it.
Same like different tribes in our native country have their symbolic garments you ignorant prick.
It is so that the poor and the rich are not differentiated, to bring people closer together and to emphasize the quality of personality and not superficiality. Additionally, the clothes allow for the circulation of hot air through the body and act like a chimney in the hot dessert.
80% Indian owned then why are they so poor?
ان الارض لله يورثها من يشاء من عباده والعاقبة للمتقين
What is that even supposed to mean?
ILove Dubai going to settle in Dubai from India long live Islam
31:58 is a bold faced lie. My main problem with the UAE is that it lives on the labor of what is very nearly slavery, it houses great poverty, & the only reason it 'thrives' is because massive quantities of currency are funneled in to the city by extremely rich men. there is no real social net to protect the lower class of people, they either do or do not serve the upper class, which determines whether they starve or flourish. When new construction is underway, 'slave' quarters are built to house the migrant workers, their passports are held by a supervisor, so they cannot leave willingly, and their pay is often withheld until the company deems to release it....they are also paid based on the nation they hail from & not the current fair wage of the nation they work in. Pointing out the beauty of the UAE is easy, there is much beauty to see, the great wealth has seen to that, but the coin has two sides & one cannot tell an honest story about the UAE without looking at BOTH sides. Another problem is Islams brutal treatment of women & homosexuals. A woman has some say in her life, less if she is from a poor family, but she cannot do much of what a man can, & we all know what the karan says about gays. The funny thing is , liberal people are the ones who often accept islam with open arms, & they are the very ones it will subjugate. im a man, a well to do man, who is straight, i would do quite well in a Shariah ruled nation, can you say the same?
With you I could, Master.
In this documentary only positive and good sides of Dubai are mentioned! It is clear, that this documentary is done for business proposal.
Mehdi Hazara and would you make such a documentary to downsell yourself?
Harry Martin Goebbels wouldn’t. It is not a documentary, it is called propaganda.
How did Israel get such a strong influence on USA government ???
Dubai.. hmm? Kinda like the old saying "When you wipe the lipstick off it's still a pig!
Said the pig 🐷
Well, that's what the pig said :)
"We are completely free to express ourselves, except of course, for religion." The definition of oppression by religion.
It's respecting religion. Just because you're infidel and can desrespect religion, doesn't mean everyone else is
Its funny how these Westerners are always behaving like their religion and culture is the only one that matter encouraging someone to disrespect their culture is the greatest arrogance
@@mrmusi4512 You are an infidel to thousands of other religions out there. You just happen to believe 1 specific religion that's much worse than others. Your religion thinks a known pedophile is a prophet. In fact, your people worship his name when you do mundane things, or kill people. A known warmonger and a pedophile.
Dubai is a very dangerous place if you believe in freedom of speech and democracy do not go there it’s really bad for your health
HAHAHA
That is what I understand. If you say something about the King and his family, you go to prison. If you kiss in public, you go to jail. If you living with a man not married you go to prison. Too strict for an American from Oregon.
Oof
