I do really enjoy all of your videos and the endless enthusiasm you have but I have to say that Dubai personifies all the soulless aspects of our modern world. I can't wait to see you enjoying Asia, here's a tip from me, visit The Philippines, a beautiful country with wonderful people and not ruined by tourism :)
Great to hear your thoughts Peter and I know you will not be alone in your feelings towards Dubai- it’s a polarising place. Thanks for the Philippines tip- we may well add this onto our list after Indonesia🙂
Totally agree with your first sentence, Peter.
Everything looks superficial, my gosh, it's Monaco without the class
Freddie, if you guys come to Bangkok and want to explore bike culture in this amazing city I would be more than happy to show you around.
That would be epic to see you showing him around Bangkok! There is no one better suited for it than you, Dana! Please make this happen!
I am so excited to see your middle eastern and Asian adventure! My family and I watch your videos as a way of seeing new parts of the world. One thing we would love is to hear the people speak in the regions you visit. Hearing the way they use language and the accents are such a part of knowing a place. Your stuff is awesome as it is, so no pressure to change anything. Just food for thought.
Thanks Ravi, delighted you’re enjoying the content! And I like this idea- we’ll try and incorporate this into the videos🙂👌🏻
Reminds me of a cross between Vegas and Disneyland. Craziness!
Wow! I have heard about Dubai forever but I have never seen it like this. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I worked with an Indian gentleman who had family There and would visit quite often. That makes New York City look small . I live in a quiet town on the New Jersey shore . Way to busy for me . Have fun be safe anxious to see more videos
Great video, Freddie and Monica. I really enjoyed your perspective as visitors to Dubai. It’s an interesting country where wealth is displayed in full view all around.
Dubai really is a city of the future.
Just flew back to UK from Dubai. What an amazing place to ride but the heat during daytime is extreme. Loved riding Harleys during the evening though.
I’ve noticed the bikers seem to come out after sunset- I definitely understand why!
@@FreddieDobbs JBR seems an area where bikers tend to meet up during the evening. Saw a Honda goldwing gathering few days ago and some interesting bikes daily (alongside Lambos :))
Crivens, there is traffic and there is traffic….stuff nightmares are made of methinks. Keep safe folks xx
I was amazed at how much traffic there was, especially considering how many lanes there are😳
I lived in Dubai for a total of 9 years, riding a bike all the time. You really do need to keep your wits about you because of the terrible standard of driving and the sheer volume of traffic. I’m now back in the UK, where the Derbyshire Peak District provides a much better lifestyle and the riding is much more fun. 😀
Very interesting!
Travel time, exciting. Have a great trip Freddie and Monika, looking forward to the next stops.
Thanks very much!🙂
Hi , once more a stunning video , from both of you , surprising what a few gallons of oil can build in 50 years . Catch you both on your next video , take care and enjoy .
This is very true!😆🛢️🏙️
well that was an eye opener thank you both.
Thanks for the video Freddie. I never would have seen stuff about Dubai because it’s not a place I have been interested in but it’s nice seeing it through your eyes and more importantly through a motor heads eyes.
Really glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
I stayed around the marina area of dubai and if anyone wants to go that is the place to stay great choice freddie and monika.
Sorry Freddie, clean & safe it may be which is a big big + in this day & age ,but it still looks like a rich boys Benidorm. Wouldn't go to both if you payed me. Loved all the other videos.
Yep back in the day when I was working over there Dubai was relatively cheap, but it’s gone full circle. Car spotting is always interesting. I had a Honda sportbike over there, so bikes are about. Good to get outside of Dubai downtown if you can.
Very interesting, I didn’t expect it to be quite this expensive.
We’ll definitely head out of the city because I’ve been told there’s a very good biking culture here🏍️🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@FreddieDobbs it actually depends on where you want to eat- pricesoften depend on the brand and location, you can easily find a lot of great restaurants ( especially Asian) where the food is excellent and the price relatively cheap. Remember, Dubai has loads of migrant workers , most of whom are not well paid, so there are thousands of restaurants who cater to this population and the Asian Middle class.
Wow what a stunning city looking forward to the next vid Freddy 👍
Looks a beautiful place very expensive very clean but not at all Environmentally friendly with all the Big powered vehicles!
Enjoy guys.
Very true- there won’t be any environment awards won here😳
Thanks🙂🙌🏻
Wow. I've gotten fascinated by the beautiful scenery of Dubai. It look so special.😀👍👍
Every time, you are amazed in every beautiful Natural places, like Spain, Canaries, Sicily, English Countryside and others. Therefore my question could be: what are you doing in that hellish place like Dubai? Sorry, I wouldn't even go there for free
Curiosity is the big reason I wanted to visit🙂
If only I would be single with no family, I would travel the world like you guys. A friend of mine just went to Dubai today, but I had no time since it is school. All I can be exited at the moment is a new motorcycle which comes and of the month. Enjoy your desert trip.
Fantastic, congrats on the soon to be new motorbike!!🏍️🖤
As usual, a top video you and Monica's films are always a cut above.
It nice to actually see Dubai. I've only ever had stop overs there for a few hour's and never left the airport.
If you're heading for Bali, you will love the contrast. Personally, I prefer countries like Bali and Thailand earthy and real with no glossy exterior.
Likewise with me- Dubai’s only ever been a stop over until now. I can’t wait for Bali, for the exact reason you mentioned🙂👌🏻
It reminded me a little of Singapore. If you have never been to Singapore you would probably enjoy it, meticulously spotless everywhere, the most hospitable people you will ever meet, I would go as far to say no crime, I've never even seen a Police Officer or Police car on any occasion I've visited. Well worth a visit if you ever get the time. 👍
Funnily enough we’re going there next!🙂
@@FreddieDobbs I’m sure you will both love it. I highly recommend Orchard Road but take a fat wallet. The Botanic Gardens are worth a visit even if you’re not necessarily into plants etc, take an evening walk alongside the Singapore River and of course amongst many other attractions there is the Merlion. Taxis are very cheap, crime is generally non existent due to the harsh penalties. Enjoy. 👍
Agree Singapore is amazing and I last visited in 1989 on the way to New Zealand.
@@richardhowell4824 It's changed a lot in the last few decades, it's my favourite stop over destination enroute to Australia. 👍
Most bikers head towards the mountains in the weekend. There's some good roads out there with twisties. there's also a few biker coffee shops- like Cafe Rider or Bikers cafe. Also there's Dubai Autodrome where many go for track days, and finally you have the desert for off road/ dune bashing.
Thank you so much for this, Chris!🙌🏻
Awesome video and awesome content Thanks Freddie and Monika
Have a great time Freddie, enjoy your time in Dubai
Thanks!🙂🙌🏻
Good Morning Freddie and Monika, Greetings from Hamburg 😊
Hi Julian, have a great day!🙂👋🇩🇪
5:40 I stayed for 8 nights at the Hilton on Jumeiah Beach from 3-11 September,2022. Great hotel in a fantastic location. There are also cheap fastfood takeaways in the same area MacDonald's,Burger King,and KFC,etc. We used the metro everywhere instead of taxis. It took less than 30 minutes to get to the Burj Khalia on the metro. So much cheaper and no hassle with traffic. I would definitely go to that area again.
I was wondering how good the metro is Clive, because the traffic is relentless here😳
@@FreddieDobbs That is a good reason not to get taxis. The meter is still running while you are in traffic. The metros are fantastic. They run every 4 minutes,are spotless,and even have women only carriages.
While you're there, you need to check our Café Rider... It's very close to where you are staying, a cafe restaurant, custom cafe racer workshop, urban rider style shop... It's in Al Barsha... Also Triumph, Moto Guzzi and Enfield dealers in that area. BTW, roads are so aggressive and driving so bad, bikers tend to ride for leisure only, and head out away from the city and into the desert...
Loads of Royal Enfield bikes around due to the big Indian population.
This is fascinating re the biking culture, thank you for sharing this!
Cafe Rider will be the next video🙂🏍️👌🏻
A good friend of mine who recently passed away still owns a apartment on the Palms which is currently rented out
I’m sorry to hear that Craig. But what an incredible place to have owned a property. We’ll drive onto the palm this week to explore the area- I have no idea what to expect!
Looking forward to this video series. Dubai looks pretty familiar to an American. Kind of seems like it could be Miami or Las Vegas.
Another great vlog Freddie, and what an insight of life in Dubai , looking forward to the next one!
Thanks Martin🙂🙌🏻
Amazing
As a Canadian I enjoy car hunting when away as well. In Cuba I look for the different Euro and Russian cars( I grew up with 50s cars), Mexico is full of cars we do not get in Canada. I to like the Dodge Challengers, had one in High School, and bought one in 2016. Recently subscribed because of British bike content, we are planning a trip to London. Planning on visiting Bike Shed and Ace Cafe then my wife forcing me to Corrie fan tour in Manchester. Love the channel.
Oh hello Welcome. Do let me know if you need anything. Glad to help. Have fun. Definitely take a ride to Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Towards Al Ain.
And please feel free to take my Triumph T100 Bonneville 😁 for a spin.
And you are right, for some reason Harleys are super popular here. Triumph has a decent following here but can't be compared to Harleys or even Indian. They love the big bikes here.
And you'd find more bikes on the weekend here , that's when the typically take it out for a ride with the gang. Not many use it for daily commute.
Thank you so much for this info, Rageeth, really appreciated🙂🤜🏼🤛🏼
Absolutely loved this. PS Having visited Dubai a few times en route to NZ and SA, I'd say it's not for me, but the joy you and Monika have on being there is infectious.
Thanks Jed🙂
Ohh Freddie & Monika just wow! Judging by the ferris wheel, I’d say you are in Jumiera Beach 2 I seem to recall? I’m guessing you’ll be going up the Burj Khalifa too? Enjoy!
Spot on and we’ll spotted, Steve! We need to make sure we visit the Burj Khalifa!
Enjoyed the video Freddie and Monika 👍. What I particularly like is your relaxed style and calm presenting of your surroundings. Love car spotting when I am travelling too so keep that up. For me Italy is my favourite destination for a car spot (be it old fiats and alfas in the country or super cars in the city). Keep up the great vids 👍😀
Agreed- Italy’s car spotting heaven! I love seeing the old Lancias, Pandas and 500s🇮🇹
Another awesome video, you two.
Hello from barbados,
great Sunday morning viewing from the beach lol
I hope you’re having a BRILLIANT time, Malcolm!🙂
Good video as always, Greg insight into Dubai
Obviously Dubai is to be avoided. Hell on earth
Dubai can be described with a single word....money....tourists spending it...mega billionaires making it..reminds me of Las Vegas..lol...great video...looking forward to the next one!
This is very true. Thanks🙂
Welcome to my country, try visiting khorrfakkan and abudhabi
Thank you sir🙂🙌🏻
Nice city, so very clean 🤯 even the car parking under ground is so clean....
Sid Khant would have a field day there if he was mayor of that city with all those gas guzzling cars. He would be rubbing his hands non stop. But then again, they would kick him out if he started applying the same rules as he does in London. The locals wouldn’t take any 5h17 from him!
As always Freddie and Monika great video, but Dubai looks like my idea of hell, impressive yes, beautiful no.......
It’s a VERY polarising place!🇦🇪 But I do agree- impressive is a better word to describe Dubai🙂
Nice! I tried very hard to spot some litter - absolutely none! Then you look at our UK road sides in the country - crap everywhere. So sad.
This is so true!
I find it sad that England has become so dirty but it sure looks a better place to live than Dubai. What a soul destroying place.
Well that's a big WOW and I didn't believe my eyes Freddie cobbled stretches' of road, how fabulous is all that lighting and those buildings too I can see the beauty and the sheer feat of building excellence .But when I showed my wife she missed the whole of what I saw saying "disgusting decadence'' there are more naturally beautiful things to see but hey I liked it 🤣 great watch guys 😉👌👍
Great to hear your thoughts. It’s been very interesting hearing what people think of Dubai- it is incredibly polarising!
Your wife was right.,
See real Dubai and go shopping in the Souk (market) and also one of their cold stores such as Spinney's. Its not all shopping malls and flash cars.
Incredible! I wish you a big succes in jungle of buildings and as you said in a country with deep wallets!
Spectacular! Dubai is great, just what my brother said as he was there a month ago for their anniversary. Addendum: I had an 82 Bronco in 82, loved it , never gave trouble except for the trouble I got it into.
I LOVE the old Broncos! I’m so glad they brought it back!🖤
Wow! Wasn’t expecting Dubai to be like that! What a petrol heads dream (except the traffic)
This could be your greatest adventure yet. It looks perfect weather, how hot is it?
Still need to see Monika’s new haircut! Have a great time and we will enjoy coming along with you both.
It genuinely is a petrol head’s dream- I’ve never seen anything like it😳
The weather’s perfect; 25 degrees in the day and 18 at night🙂👌🏻👌🏻
Fun to journey with you great shots of the town and terrific opening music. I assume that there’s no poverty in Dubai
Glad you're enjoying it but it looks awful to me. And the price for a coffee is crazy! Also I'm sure I spotted two gixxers there 😊
You are probably living in jbr area of Dubai.thats why you have found it expensive.but if you come to Deira or bur Dubai area then you will get cheap restaurants and supermarkets.
You have a car, so consider a day trip to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, only 1.5 hours away from Dubai. Also very interesting but more laid back and less congested than Dubai.
The Mosque in Abu Dhabi is probably the greatest free show on earth, an experience you will never forget, no I'm not biased to their religion.
Interesting, thanks for the heads up!🙂
Wow… they have a STRONG American muscle car scene!
VERY strong. I was surprised by the strength of the muscle car scene here!
Nice welcome 😊 to new part of the world 🌍 I hope you can also explore the Asian countries lots of love and respect brother 🎈❣️I love your vlogging 🎈🎈🎈❣️the way you are awesome
Really appreciate it! Absolutely; Singapore and Indonesia will be next🙂🤜🏼🤛🏼
@@FreddieDobbs wow kewl, Indonesia, can't wait for the new adventure here in Indonesia, hopefully not roaming on Bali only though.
One of my favourite places. I love how family oriented it is at night time. Shame for those workers though😢
Yeah, the news reports on the treatment of those bused workers highlight some shameful humans rights abuses.
Isn't it strange how in London and other UK cities the ULEZ expansion continues, in order to keep the cities clean and healthy, when Dubai is doing the opposite and has cleaner cities and it doesn't look like any smog 🤔 It's a bit too built up for me, fascinating place though and I'd love a bike out there especially with that traffic, but no doubt the heat of the day wouldn't make it too much fun. Excellent video 👍
I was curious about this too, Dale- there is no London-style dirt on any buildings and no visible sign of any smog. I can’t wet to get out into the desert!🏜️
By the by, when are you guys coming to Brazil? You would love it down here, brother.
Blimey. £100 a day for that apartment. That’s a result! I thought it was ultra expensive over there.
Im getting flipping Land Rover Adverts now 🤷♂️ 😂
🤣🤣
Amazing Freddie. Now I know why it cost $14.00 to fill up my bike. Oh ya, and $50.00 to fill up my Dodge Challenger.😁🇺🇸
Spot on. You have a Challenger… my LORD!! Nothing cooler on the roads🖤
Really enjoyed that. Just the right length of time. Still stunned at the price of the coffee.is it a dry state?
Really enjoyed your latest offering. Saw you in Colchester Kawasaki the other day and was wondering what location you prefer 😂
Haha no way- I saw a Super Meteor in Colchester Kawa for the first time on that day!🤩
Your channel is fantastic, but Dubai doesn't appeal to me, mountains and scenery but guess I'm an oldie. Cheers Freddie and Monica
Morning Freddie and Monika. What a place ! 🏴
Morning Mike!🙂👋🏴
Oh Freddie, you'd do anything for Monica.
2 Gixxers ride by
Freddie: I haven't seen one sport bike
Me: Brutal Freddie, Brutal 😂
Half theme park half Truman show ... and just as fake . It's what happens when money pours out of the ground.
A great insight , have a good time both of you.
Hey Freddie, amazing video. Just curious, do you watch football, if yes then which club do you support and who's your favourite player?
Hi Protyay, I very lightly follow football but don’t have a favourite team. My favourite player I’ve ever watched has been Zidane🙂👌🏻👌🏻
As always a great video. Highlights how screwed up things are though doesn’t it. Here we are talking about a few wind turbines and electric powered vehicles and this town is saying, nah I don’t think so, we ain’t going to bother with that sh!t.
You are spot on Tim
Nice to see Dubai is doing its bit to save the world. What with all the huge cars and laser lights etc.
I like cars as much as the next man, but driving around in big V8s, V10s and V12s is bonkers when the average speed you can muster is walking pace. Your little Fiat is much better suited to Dubai than any of those cars ( providing the air-con was working, that is )
As you can, probably, tell. Dubai is not the place for me. However, I do love your enthusiasm for everywhere you go. Looking forward to see how Dubai pans out for you and Monica.
Place looks nice enough, but the relentless procession of posuers blipping their high performance engines every 10 seconds would really get on my tits.
Also, 17 quid for coffees and cake? Visitors here are definitely getting rinsed good and proper
Freddie is there any natural beauty, it all seems so man made
In the built up centre, there is no natural beauty, apart from the beach and sea (we’ve just been for a swim- it is beautiful).
We’ll drive out into the desert this coming week to get away from the city and explore🏜️
That’s exactly what a air hostess told me on the plane, she had a flat there but did not seem very impressed with Dubai.
Its the morals and ethics of these sort of places that get me.
The way the locals treat migrant workers et al.
I used to have cigarette breaks hanging out with a Bangladeshi and a Nepalese doorman at a 6 star hotel. They enjoyed my company, and me likewise theirs, but the rude manners and arrogance of ùber rich locals coming and going inc their kids with 5k Ferrari branded wristwatches etc really bugged me. The obscene wealth can be soul destroying for what this world has become.
Fascinating. I did think this may be the case.
awesome
Hey Freddie, when you're back in the UK, see if you can pull some strings and hop in a Ineos Grenadier for a day :) Definitely up your alley!
I would absolutely LOVE to try one!!
Welcome to Dubai buddy
Thanks very much!
Wow, thanks to start on a freaking balcony. My God! Why? It is real fear. Had to fast forward
Haha you may struggle in Dubai because every building seems to be a sky scraper😆🏙️
@@FreddieDobbs good to know. Grew up in New Jersey and right next to New York. But they don't put balconies on those skyscrapers. Been up in many of buildings in my time. Just not on balconies. I do have PTSD when I went up in the empire state building and up to the crown of the statue of liberty 🗽. Great video.
My brother was living in Delhi and he said driving out there was difficult because there are so many lanes on the motorways and everybody has a job even for the simplest things plus he was handling hundreds of thousands because no one deals in banks over there how are you finding it.
I do agree- the huge amount of lanes means motorway driving isn’t the most relaxing because you’re always having to make sure you’re on the correct side of the motorway when they often split in half to the left or right😳
Regarding cash- luckily everything’s card payment in Dubai, so I didn’t withdraw any cash at all
Big NO from me. Worst place I’ve ever been, pretentious, hot, soon to be heavily polluted concrete jungle…. 👎
Go easy on the coffee at that price! Crikey!! 😂
I was shocked- it does make me savour each sip a bit more at these prices😆
@@FreddieDobbs Most we paid in Dubai pre covid was £16 per cup but it was sprinkled in gold leaf.
King's Road on a Saturday night , Chelsea drive past 🤣
Spot on😆
Freddie, lemme know, you want to borrow my Z06, it's yours! Lol
Ron, Yosemite
I’ll remember this, thank you Ron!🙂
It’s not true what you said about food prices in Dubai. It can be as cheap as $3 a meal for food in or around dubai at the right places
Great video both but I have a question for you, I put a positive post on here earlier this morning that included a link, the post has been removed. For future reference did TH-cam remove it or did you? Just so I know not to do it again, no problems, looking forward to your next one.
Hi Felix, this is very interesting. I never delete comments (good or bad), so I definitely didn’t delete it🙂
I believe TH-cam removes all links in comments.
@@mrcintheuk4641 Thanks for that, I was beginning to think that was the reason rather than Freddie removing it, he's to polite to do that.
@@FreddieDobbs Didn't think you would but had to check, out of interest the link was to a flip photo video I put up recently, 'Lee & Jan cruise the Persian Gulf' I'd be honoured if you were to view it, some eye candy cars.
There is a ferrari tematic park
What do all these people do for a living over there? driving all these expensive motors ?
Welcome to petrol head heaven! Enjoy the visit.
Thanks Kev!
@@FreddieDobbs is bikers are around, you just have to keep your eyes peeled . Once you’ve been here a while this temperature is bliss for riding!
Its a while since I worked in Dubai for a short period. Its better than going to a car show in the variety and exotica. However not a place I would ever return to. Any electric cars😂😂 why would yu when ice sound like that
Very interesting to hear you’d never go back! A few Teslas- and I do mean a very few😆
Shops at Waitrose……why aren’t I surprised?
I'm getting more jealous of Freddie and Monica.
Try the Spanish latte at %
Thanks Dean, I will do🙂
Very few bikes? 😅😅😅 Talabat riders alone!!!!
if you want to see bikes head to biker cafe in jumeirah. its a biker haunt. having lived there i can say bikers as you said head out of the city to hatta or the coast roads but the biggest bike scene is playing in the sand. Fuel used to be a gallon cost the same as a litre in the UK but now its gone up considerably. water cost more back in the old days. 🤣enjoy your time there chaps. love your vid 😍
Biker Cafe video is tomorrow- I loved it!🔥 If I lived in Dubai, the first things I’d buy would be a dirt bike and rugged4x4 for dune fun!😆
I’ve heard prices have shot up in recent years. The food is the most expensive I’ve ever seen!😳
@@FreddieDobbs as you know mate i did just that for a fair few years back in the days when dxb was affordable. glad you both made it to BC, look forward to the video. food wise most generally went to choithrams as spinneys and waitrose were way over priced. 👍
8:20 you did because you filmed 2 Gixxers earlier in this video 😂
