What a lovely couple, he obviously takes good care of her you can just see how happy she is, wish you could do more on them how they met and how she fitted in the culture
I can remember the days before the UAE got united. I collected postage stamps back then, and I had more stamps from the countries that now make up the UAE than from any other countries. There is no such language as "Pakistani." Since Hasham's language is so similar to Hindi, I'm guessing his native language is probably Urdu. The relationship between Urdu and Hindi is very similar to the relationship between Serbian and Croatian.
Hello friend I'm from Pakistan In Pakistan we have many languages just as in India there are many different languages But we are united by one language, which is Urdu In Pakistan we call it Urdu In India they call it Hindi
Dubai is not my cup of tea. It's secured and you can make a lot of money. But too much materialism and luxury. Even the Mosque looks like a piece of luxury. It's missing the spiritual elements. Go to IRAN and SYRIA if you can. You'll experience real culture that goes back thousands of years. And people are the nicest in those countries.
The weather in Russia sounds like Scottish weather - we say in Scotland you can get 4 seasons in one day. This was a really brilliant programme, what a place - but I will stick with Scotland. Thanks so much for this xx
@@alexysq2660 oh, I believe you. Maybe some day, when the situation around the globe stabilizes, I'll be able to travel there. Tour the distilleries, see the sights)
@@SwapBlogRU I do hope you shall, am pretty sure you'll love it; Edinburgh is especially nice, btw ! And, yeah: drinking truly does play a fairly big part in the "local culture", i suppose one has to admit 😏🥴😊.... ~🩷💖
Hi Ellie I am following you here For me, the UAE, as you mentioned at the beginning of the video, is just towers, markets, and a luxurious life I love following your videos about life in Russia and learning about the regions of Russia and the different cultures in Russia As always, this video was amazing, too
i love your honesty, im 17 years old i was born and raised in the uae. in-fact i never left the country that's why i hope my studies go well so i can leave and explore the world
are you a citizen of the uae? if yes get in contact with the ministry of education of your emirate and/or of the federal ministry of education. I was at summit for emirati education in abu dhabi last week and they have amazing sponsoring initiatives for emirati citizens to go abroad
Good luck with your stay in the UAE, Eli. I thought this video was very interesting - I really appreciate how you are always looking for the “real” culture of a place. And it was your point that the real culture and history of UAE is what is happening now. I hope that it remains, and grows even more, as a place that is so multicultural 🙏🏼. I have one request, Eli: would you please consider providing subtitles? I am hearing impaired, and even with good quality speakers/headphones I still find it very hard to hear everything being said. Much love from Brisbane, Australia 💛☀️😊
If you don't know already, just press the subtitle button, automatically you will see the subtitles in English, for this video, if the subtitle is in another language, press the settings button go to language if it is available, then auto language, scroll down until you find the language of your choice..
@@chaqillenikita748 ????? strange? it's You tube!? should be a standard setting, just went into YT settings in my account and was able turn on or off subtitles there.
You're assessment of Dubai is correct....luxury and shopping malls galore. I lived in Abu Dhabi for a year. I don't miss the heat and humidity. ***added...all three of you guys have really good English skills. O think you would like the Northern part of the U.S. it gets really cold and snowy and you still have good warm summers. The people are friendly and I'm sure you'll find a group of Russian or Indian speaking people who already live in the area. Give it a try!
I found your comment about the oil to be telling. Russia has been one of the world’s largest oil producers, and it’s politicians and oil execs own massive yachts and theme park like properties, but a large majority of the population still lives in relative poverty. 🤷🏽♂️
Going to Dubai seems like it would be like someone visiting Las Vegas and thinking that's how every place is in the US.... the strip isn't set up for real life it's supposed to be an over the top tourist experience
Vegas was built as a gambling place…and then converted as a vacation place offering luxurious hotels, restaurants, pools, shows and quick weddings. Buy if you take these fake things it just sand….just like that country😢😢😢 I like to live in a place that is green, where it rains, and where trees grow…here in Florida we have the best of both worlds…
If you live in the Emirates it is a very different experience. You get to know people from all over the world and enjoy different cultures and perspectives. Many people form life-ling friendships and enjoy the beach and sea. I lived there for 20 years and we have many life-long friends. We felt very happy and safe there. As a tourist you wouldn't experience it the same way of course.
if you live here in new york, or toronto or london etc. you get to meet people from all over the world as well as tons of locals. you mix with everyone everyday. there aren’t the barriers the emirates put up. there’s no us versus them.
But it’s very separated it seems. The locals vs the expat community. Enjoying the expat nature of the country with all the diversity is great, but as Eli puts it, that’s not the local history/culture of the indigenous people. I
now can you imagine me as an African ,dealing with Russia's winter ,I would take a week of snow over a week of 40 degree heat ,but vice versa if it comes to a year ,I can take the heat longer
You've been very diplomatic Eli, but I think that the reason you don't like it is that it's fake or should I say not genuine. If you want the opposite of that, go to Sultanate of Oman, you'll be amazed.
I visit Dubai every year alone , for 8 days... Firstly - the safest country in the world , secondly - cool shopping and wonderful sea. But I would never want to live in UAE ...
Russian girl's impressions of the UAE & expat life in the Emirate of Ajman. Interesting and engaging video. I support your video. Watched the video on March 09, 2023 very like.Thank you
Why should i be surprised she was leaving russia?? Bad times to live in kremlin palace. "Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, and the last river poisoned, will you realize that money and gold cannot be eaten or drunk" 🌈🌐🌏🌎🌍🌐🌈
Great job trying to understand the country. Going beyond first impressions. Travellers' Wisdom. Awesome shots. That mountain range at the end was amazing. And i had to lol when Hasham was trying to teach you the pronounciation. 😆 Rent is cheap ! According to Google, the income goes from €2700 up to 4000. Holy moly.
"Rent is *cheap"* you say ?? But according to what Khasham was saying in the video, a typical flat goes for anywhere between 8 100 to more than 8 700 $US per month...!! That makes even *London* appear relatively "reasonably priced" 😆.... Might those figures have perhaps been misprints or miscalculations then...??
@@chriswatchingponies9877 Oh, per *year;* i had missed that actually, thank you. And yeah, you're right then: that actually *is* pretty cheap 😆...! ~🩷🩵
@@Ouroldchannelkk Yes, i'm afraid i had at first missed that it was per year actually; am so sorry 😒, but am certainly glad to know that you are not actually paying so high a rent as i'd originally thought/misunderstood it to be 😊...! ~💖
You see only the brigh side of the Dubai. But .if you see dark side of the Dubai . You will change your mind . All those luxurious behind there are Slavery .tears . Deaths . But keeping hidden
Dear Eli, I watch you all the time, you are a lovely girl. I watch and listen to KALINKA. The beautiful kids dancers are truly amazing. My 80 year old heart breaks when I hear that over 100 thousand Russian kids were sacrificed by Putin, for what? I’m an immigrant from Hungary 1956, I learned Russian in Hungary, I love to say that I’m American with Hungarian roots. Your empty apartment buildings are a sign of the 100000 + lost their lives because your so called leaders. YOU MUST STOP HIM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WAKE UP PRINCESS.
Is this your way of saying Ukraine was right to murder all the civilians, in the Donbas, and other Russian speaking regions since 2016? .... Go away idiot.. Ukraine is about to fall, its out of ammo and sleepy Joe is asking all his allies to give them more ammo, that they do not have. Blame NATO not everyday Russians Mr CIA troll.
I am very glad to hear that you have a secured income, wealthy enough not to worry for tomorrow and not having problems to solve, having savings and not losing investments and so on, but you don't realize that most of the people around the world must fight for today's and tomorrow food, having no security and stability and that is why no time for politics.
Hi Eli, Since you can go to the UAE, can you travel to Ireland (you would love it and they would love your red hair)? Have you been to England or the United States? Your videos are great! 🙂
Hey Elii, just having lots of ressources in the ground doesnt mean that your country will become rich. In fact if you look around many countries that have lots of ressources are quite poor. Why that is? That happens when you do not spread the income you generate by selling those ressources to your whole population but a few people use this wealth to become super rich themself. The UAE is one example how to do it right, Norway is a better one. In Norway the profits from the oil and gas are put into a investment fund owned by the state and its population. This has made Norway one of the richest countries world wide. In Russia there are a handful of oligarchs that basically control all the wealth and so not your government can put this money to use. Yes it might have a trickle down effect of some sort, like when an oligrach wants to build a new villa and there is not a good road to the location then he may build a better road so he can go there more comfortably and of course the workers that build the stuff get paid too. But the largest part of his money does nothing to create more wealth in russia. I know for a fact that every € publicly invested in germany creates roughly 10 more €. Example: A new highway is being built. The workers who build it get their wages and buy food and clothing with it. The clothing company can buy new machines or hire more workers and the farmer too. Now the tractor company can do the same and so on. Second big problem of russia is most of the ressources are located in places nobody wants to live in like in the far north or in inaccessible mountains. This leads to increased extraction cost for those ressources and therefore a smaller profit. For example Norilsk Nickel exracts precious metals in Norilsk near the arctic ocean. Nobody would move there without some strong motivation in form of a much better pay. Also machines and infrastructure in those rather extreme locations tend to break down more easy as in warmer climates which all drives up the cost. But Norilsk Nickel cant raise the price for nickel as high as they would like but has to sell it for whatever the current world market price is. Which limits the profit. Add to that that the russian society is basically still in the early 20th century from its development for the largest part. Which is further amplified by the bad russian civil infrastructure (not many roads, no internet in many places) which leads to slow travelling news and only slow travelling people. Factor in that Moscow is basically the center of russia and the rest becomes gradually worse the farther away from Moscow you are means also that not that many people can come together in one place to protest against it. If we germans all would decide that the politcs in Berlin are shit and we want to protest there so they can see our anger for themself we could easily have like 10 million more people there within a day. Could you bring 10 million more people to Moscow if you wanted to protest against your government if you wanted to in 24 hours? I doubt it. All those things make it easier for your elite to control most of the population and also to make many people uninterested in politics cause they fell like they cant change a thing. So is russia responsible for where it is right now? I say yes, you cant control everything like market prices and stuff but if you have next to no will to develop your country and society into something more modern then you will be forever stuck in the past. Which is best represented by your victory parades each year. You are celebrating a victory that was 80 years ago cause you have nothing else to be proud of more recently, sad but true. Nobody else has parades for the victory over the nazis anymore, you know why? We have moved on, nobody really cares that much about something that happened 80 years ago. We usually have to much to do living our everyday life. But the russian backward mentality is what is limiting russia.
I fell asleep reading this diatribe mate, but what i read was sort of a passive aggressive BS attack on Eli. As for the riches of Germany, foreign workers are making the roads. Corporate owned stores foreign owned, are robbing the people who have the money, with extortionist food prices, most of the food stuffs are from overseas. The average German gets Sweet FA from your so called investments in country. Same here in Australia, we are rich, but we have nothing. The foreigners own it all..
The Grand Mosque was quite impressive, but the Starbucks kind of surprised me. One of the best things about the desert in the summer are the warm nights when you can relax, eat and drink outside, after the sun goes down. The desert can have its charm and serenity, but I try to schedule that for winter or spring. Camping in the California deserts in the winter and early spring is very memorable. The nights are cool and the days are perfect. You were very diplomatic at the end and put a nice spin on your visit. Who knows, maybe it will flourish... You're the best Eli! I love your videos wherever you trek. Much affection from Texas to🐨🦘Stay safe and Enjoy!
You should try Tel Aviv, the most Russian city in the world outside of Russia - 20% of the people from Russia or the former USSR - and a very hip and fun city on the sea.
Eli from Russia, now you know how Pakistanis are, I expect your next destination will be Lahore Pakistan, where I come from too. I have lived, worked and played semi professional cricket in UAE and Oman back in 80s. And I recommend that you visit Oman where the real Arabian culture is very much alive. For last 35 years I have been living in UK and I invite you to be my guests when ever visit London in future.
you should go to Philippines... expirience the warm filipino hospitality and culture... Visit manila BGC and expirience the tropic island life Bohol or Palawan
Of course they have a history, but they destroyed most of it & built modern buildings. Their entire country is similar in size to Moscow & their massive oil money is used in that small area whereas Russia has to spend its oil money to develop the biggest country in the world - & so the results are different. That couple were quite odd & not interesting. The girl looked like a child of parents who drank too much & her comments "it's hot here" were so simple-minded. It would be better to have talked to real locals. Why do you call the video "leaving Russia"? It sounds political & I think it's intentional & not good because it's not the first example from this channel. Just remember - people who stab their country in the back, especially in wartime, will stab their friends & family in the back. Nobody likes a traitor.
This was another interesting and excellent video, Eli! The music was very good and appropriate. The people you visited were very kind. Most people in the world are good people, and your videos show us this.
Hi Eli you're lucky to get to travel around much and share so many interesting videos. Love em thank you! I too..wish to have a climate with 4 seasons but here in Singapore is boring. Average temp is 26~32°C throughout the year. I hate the humidity. You will not like it too! :)
Oh Eli...and I forgot to mention. Regretfully our government go along with the US agenda and put sanctions on Russian related banks. Now we are under Putin's list of non-friendly country towards Russia. Can you tell Putin that I'm so sorry about it and I'm not a part of it please? I'm longing to visit my Russian and Ukrainian friends in Russia someday :(
Waiting u when u visit India, nice to see your scenic expertise, how you capture India , Because India is actually essence of whole planet!!!!! Of course Pakistan included!!!!!!!, India Pakistan are from same river!!!!!! Don't believe in divisions))), like Russia & Ukraine r same !!!!!, difference is only when USA ND Uk intervene))) ha ha ha
So you think the Ukrainian people feel they are Russian now? That they want to be part of Russia? Somehow I think they do not want to be part of Russia. I know it sounds crazy
You are suffering from culture / environment shock, we all experience when one travels to different countries. After you have experienced world travel there's really only your parents , good luck !
Go to Costa Rica. You can get a refuge visa there temporary residency. You will love it there . Pura Vida . Nature . Lovely weather and people. I know . I own a home there.I also Been to Dubai 5 years ago. I know how it is there
I have very fond memories of the UAE. Back in the '90's we could not believe that there were Soft drink vending machines on street corners or how clean, laid back and relaxed it seemed. No idiot would try and Assault me, rob me or stab me because they were on drugs. I loved shopping, risking your life when crossing the Dubai River aboard the Water -Taxis and just the lifestyle. _ Happy Days.
Hello Eli, try Philippines. You'll find beautiful places here. You will experience Filipino hospitality and of course, our delicious foods. Am sure you will enjoy learning our culture. ❤️
Like you Eli, I visited UAE about 5 years ago due to airline schedule. It was very interesting but I like trees, cooler weather, seasons, etc. like you have back in Central Russia. It is difficult to change our likes when we grow up in seasonal areas. Will you come to visit the USA in the future? It shouldn't be hard to get a visa for working.
My nephew is a hotel manager in the Emerates. He rives motorcycles, him and his kids ride horses and they have an active look life. If you want to experience the soul you need to get out of the malls. Go to a desert picnic and discover the so many things there. I know my nephew loves it there. Enjoy your trip
Is fascinating how such a desired place for people in reality has no soul. I was there, thanks Eli for speaking your mind and not only showing tourist places and how wonderful those cities are
Think about what you are saying. People have souls, places do not. Perhaps you mean that connection between people, which of course is more difficult when you don't know many people. And when you walked past a masjid, and heard the athan calling to prayer, it had no affect on you, so perhaps it is you that has no soul? It's just a perspective right? At least the government cares about it's people, and the leader has a vision, and has created a safe country. Now you can list all the other places that fulfill that criteria.
@@SA-cloud Whether you're a Muslim, or not, your thinking is very literal, like most Muslims. Of course, places don't have souls, but it seems that you don't understand figurative speech, (as in a figure of speech). When people talk about the soul of a country, or a city, it's more a figure of speech, than an actual soul, as for humans. But that might be too hard for your mind to imagine, isn't it? I'm not picking on you personally, since this's true for the 99% of Middle-easterners, of whom I'm one, myself, hence, Sci-Fi being the least popular form of entertainment here. As for the government that takes care of its people, yes, I agree with you 100%, because that's the only way that that form of government, as in the whole Middle East region, can actually justify its legitimacy, minus any form of a representative government. So, every Emir, or King, or even President, in this region, must act as father, who takes good care of his citizen-children, even treat them as little children, who must be rewarded for good behavior, and punished for misbehavior. And this probably explains why Middle-easterners in general are of the least emotionally mature people on earth, having the lowest EQ in the world. They live and die as some of the most emotionally retarded people in the world, live and die never knowing the true taste of freedom, live and die never knowing what personal sovereignty is, live and die never knowing what complete independence and self-sufficiency is, live and die never knowing what total self-responsibility, and live and die forever remaining the emotionally-retarded children of their Emir. A society without renewable wisdom, creativity, arts, invention, technology, without ever reaching its full human potential. Oh, but they're so good at recalling and remunerating their past accomplishments, as well as, in imitating Western culture to the extent of following them into the shaft of a lizard (as per the Hadith of the Prophet).
@@kauaimu Wha, so complicated! Don't be so crazy, because, yes democracy is wonderful, but do you really know what's behind it? Take the UK. The people really have little control over their elected representatives. They can walk into the parliament, and lie, you you know it's a lie, but they pretend it's the truth. I am not like others you may happen upon, not at all, for I know much more about this reality than most know is possible. And that isn't just some idol talk. For a moment, imagine what I am saying. Yes, you will meet very few people that really know. Oh, don't jump to conclusions, I'm simply a shadow, I hardly exist, only from time to time, I was made to understand things others do not. Humans can be the most noble of creatures or worst than animals. The race is the same for all, some have decided to understand more than what they eyes deceive them to understand. Some, were rewarded beyond what they deserve, but then, truly, He creates and chooses out of them. We are only here for a short while anyway. Oh, and my imagination is first rate 🙂- I will delete this post, you will not understand.
@@kauaimu you don’t speak for Muslims, Middle Eastern people, or anyone for that matter. You have a personal hatred you just projected on a stranger. Your opinions are very bias. Arabs in general are arguably the smartest people in the world. Just because you’re from ignorant people personally, doesn’t mean you have the authority to speak for all Arabs and or Middle Eastern people. Pathetic. And so very condescending. I know you “didn’t mean to be rude” but you have no class and it shows.
Hi Eli, I do like your videos on place in your country it so big with so many ethnic groups and so much history, my I make suggestion some time in future travel you may like visit Chengdu szechuan western China next province is Tibet autonomous region of China stay safe
Hi Eli, Good video. In terms of your comment about “How can UAE be so nice when Russia pumps so much more oil than UAE you are only part right. Yes the government choices on spending matter. But to be fair Russia has a much larger population to spread that money across and a much larger territory on which to try to build infrastructure. Russia could absolutely do a better job than it does now, but only a handful of tiny countries could ever hope to match what UAE has done. I agree that UAE has no culture, but that’s not what attracts people. If you ask someone, “Do you want to live someplace where the housing is new, the streets are safe and there are lots of good jobs available?” There is a pretty good chance that they will say “yes, at least for awhile!”
Let's say you don't want to spend your time shopping in malls AT ALL. What can you do in the UAE ? You say you didn't have a chance to experience the real culture of this place, maybe it is not accessible for 95% of the population who are just employee for the petrol money of the emirates. The nationals represent how much of the population, 10% ? The petrol wealth is trickling to them only, whatever culture they has become materialistic consumerism . It's just a petrol republic. But I noticed your Pakistani friend was very nice and humble and made a great effort to make you have good time.
I get the same feeling when there. People like their own community hubs there and get their sense of belonging. You can find locals if you stay there long enough and you will get invited in to their homes, that is where the magic is.
Bravissima Eli. Stai quasi divenendo un'entnologa. Hai una naturale attitudine alla descrizione delle diversità. Migliorerai.... e saraii ancora più interesante. Grazie
Я очень горжусь своей землячкой (я из Перми и вполне могла бы быть вашим учителем по возрасту и по профессии, много лет живу в США), но мне становится очень стыдно как учителю в моменты как этот 11:30 - математика, видимо, не ваш любимый предмет. Страна по площади 5/1000 от России, по населению 1/15, доходов от нефти получает в 3 раза меньше (да, это не просто по запасам на 5-6 месте, а по доходам от продажи, что по-моему, более актуально). Включите воображение на минуту - страна по площади в два раза меньше вашего родного Пермского края имеет 1/3 дохода России от продажи нефти. Добавьте, или вернее отнимите, необходимость прокладывать и поддерживать в рабочем состоянии тысячи километров нефтепроводов на широте полярного круга по тайге по вечной мерзлоте через реки и горы, при отрицательных температурах 6 месяцев в году, затраты на разведку в тех же условиях (и ведь иммигрантов, как в Эмиратах, не заманишь в такие условия ни на какие деньги) Мне кажется неправильно сравнивать страну где от самой дальней нефтевышки до ближайшего порта 100 км с теми условиями что есть в России.
Oh I had teachers like you, I didn't learn anything because for teachers like you the only agenda is to shame, the only thing I remember is not feeling good enough. Shame on you for shaming others.
When I visited Dubai in 2015 I didnt get to see or do anything bc I was sick and some other personal reasons but I too did not enjoy it. I also felt its only shopping malls and busy city buildings etc. Everything was far and had to walk alot or drive alot so it was really miserable. I am like you in that I prefer a place with nature and locals sharing their cultures not shiny new buildings
What needs to be talked about is the 90% expats who are migrant works who do service and construction work. How are they treated; talk to them or Human Rights Watch. The word that comes to mind is exploited? Your thoughts Eli?
If there is no greenery, forests or natural it's not Uae's foult because UAE is desert country, if you want grow a tree in UAE you have to spend thousands of dollars, so don't compare UAE with other countries,
@@Ouroldchannelkk Ofcourse yes, even dessert 🏜️ with its natural flora and fauna 🌵🌴 looks osm, but what I & Eli mean is, in Dubai man made concrete jungle lacks soul. 😭
Perhaps it's not for you, but so many Russians are buying property there now for obvious reasons. 50 years is a short timeframe for what the UAE has achived, and the leader takes care of his people. He also has a vison for his country. Personally, I think having a place in the UAE is perfect if you can afford it, it's located to get to many other places in 6 - 7 hours, so you can be other places when it's too hot. 😄 What I like to do it deal with the positives of things and places; having travelled to a few other cities I like, but I see the same old issues and visionless leaders, and tax, something that you don't have to pay in the UAE.
Having 2 such lovely friends in Dubai Eli puts back all the character that Dubai normally hasn't got, not lost, as it never has had character. Hasham's Urdu is entwined so much with Farsi, that being a Farsi speaker one can very basically communicate with a Urdu speaker. Depending on his accent Hasham may not agree with that, but I have no problem using Farsi when ordering food in a Pakistani restaurant. I'm Australian but learnt to speak Farsi in the South West of Iran (1970's), with heavy Kurdish overtones and an Aussie accent to add flavour😳 Eli you'd be surprised how many Russian, or Slavic words are in Farsi, but unfortunately not enough to communicate with. Dubai, the city, is sterility on steroids, ugh!! All that desert is where the character of Dubai (the UAE) lays, under the stars with the noises of the animals and birds of a night, such natural beauty. Hot of a day, yes, but so what. The desert people have so much traditional culture, however finding them in their traditional camps can be a problem but their hospitality is beyond reproach. Sharing a cup of tea with them is quite priceless. As usual with all your videos Eli, this video is factual and faultless.🙏🙏💗💯
Is it expensive to live there? Initially I saw how much the apartment rents for, I gasped at the price if I understood it right. How much does 1 person need to live comfortably there? I really enjoy your videos, and your friends were so delightful as well.
Hello Eli 👋 Thank you for another very interesting video. And very informative as well. We get the opportunity to visit these places with you as you travel and share your experiences with us. I really appreciate that. I spent some time in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait when I was younger and yes I agree, it can get very very hot there. But, the people always treated me with respect, so I cannot say anything bad. It is always very nice to experience different cultures and try their foods. As always Eli, thank you for such a beautiful outlook on life, you are so refreshing, and gorgeous as well. ❤️
Why the malls? Their leaders wanted, specially Dubai, to be a financial center in preparation for the depletion of oil and gas. This is done employing labor and professionals from other countries. Many of my govt officemates got hired in the UAE.
Maybe give Oman a try; it's right next door from the UAE. The weather is the same, but otherwise it gets rid of the UAE's other downsides. The people are on the average friendlier and more grounded, the nature is way better (yay mountains!), the cities are built at a human scale, their history is more interesting as they were essentially the Portugal of Arabia and had colonies stretching from Pakistan to Zanzibar. And it's very safe for women travelers. It's easily my favorite country in the region; maybe that will change if/when I ever get to visit Iran.
Bcos unlike europe there’s no preserved architecture from past All are modern day skyscrapers which we can see everywhere these day Uae somehow is not showcasing it’s culture instead I see riches with skyscrapers
Russia is my favorite country. Moscow is amazing and has nothing to envy to other world capitals such as Dubai, New York etc. Abu Dhabi is nice! If you like people go to Iran, they are amazing and so welcoming.
Not having the opportunity to speak with very many everyday people there says much about your not being able to gage the depth of the local population. A longer stay would have given you a better feel about the place. Very insteesing and informative video. I hope you have opportunity to visit the United States for a few weeks or more and also hope you eventually go back to Russia and begin a business offering fun tours of places in your own country. Your heart is good and your journey is so interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Eli; I enjoy your programs. The Emirates and really the whole structure of industrial society is just a 'flash in the pan' (as we say in the USA, not sure where that comes from). The techno-industrial world is 100% dependent on a massive flow of fossil fuels-- note that they are 'fossil' fuels, an inheritence from the past. The 'world' burns 100 million barrels (42 gallons per barrel) per day of petroleum

Urdu and Hindi are the same language. One language was loaded with Arabic and Persian and the other with Sanskrit words. Grammar is 100% the same.
Yes, if you listen carefully he corrected her. I'm not sure if he was that happy when she suggested Urdu was like Hindi!
Dubai is not my cup of tea. It's secured and you can make a lot of money. But too much materialism and luxury. Even the Mosque looks like a piece of luxury. It's missing the spiritual elements. Go to IRAN and SYRIA if you can. You'll experience real culture that goes back thousands of years. And people are the nicest in those countries.
The weather in Russia sounds like Scottish weather - we say in Scotland you can get 4 seasons in one day. This was a really brilliant programme, what a place - but I will stick with Scotland. Thanks so much for this xx
Thank you guys for your wonderful whisky
Russia has several climate zones but in most cases the weather is way more stable.

Hi Ellie
I am following you here
For me, the UAE, as you mentioned at the beginning of the video, is just towers, markets, and a luxurious life
I love following your videos about life in Russia and learning about the regions of Russia and the different cultures in Russia
As always, this video was amazing, too
If they can build it, why not?
i love your honesty, im 17 years old i was born and raised in the uae. in-fact i never left the country that's why i hope my studies go well so i can leave and explore the world
You should start with eastern Siberia
are you a citizen of the uae? if yes get in contact with the ministry of education of your emirate and/or of the federal ministry of education. I was at summit for emirati education in abu dhabi last week and they have amazing sponsoring initiatives for emirati citizens to go abroad
How would a Russian stand the heat of Dubai, you're amazing
As a Russian I can tell you that there is AC every in UAE and you will not be in direct sunlight mostly.
the best thing about UAE is that i don't have to live there 😂
Good luck with your stay in the UAE, Eli. I thought this video was very interesting - I really appreciate how you are always looking for the “real” culture of a place. And it was your point that the real culture and history of UAE is what is happening now. I hope that it remains, and grows even more, as a place that is so multicultural 🙏🏼.
I have one request, Eli: would you please consider providing subtitles? I am hearing impaired, and even with good quality speakers/headphones I still find it very hard to hear everything being said.
Much love from Brisbane, Australia 💛☀️😊
I will pray for your ears to open
If you don't know already, just press the subtitle button, automatically you will see the subtitles in English, for this video, if the subtitle is in another language, press the settings button go to language if it is available, then auto language, scroll down until you find the language of your choice..

Canadian here; if there's no snow on the ground it's too warm.
You're assessment of Dubai is correct....luxury and shopping malls galore. I lived in Abu Dhabi for a year. I don't miss the heat and humidity.
***added...all three of you guys have really good English skills. O think you would like the Northern part of the U.S. it gets really cold and snowy and you still have good warm summers.

May Allah bless you both.
Yes that's true. She was our speacial Russian guest.
@@DrJab Thank you. 😊
Given the geography, extreme heat and opulence, it seems very similar to Las Vegas.
And just as soulless.
Las Vegas has homeless, drug addicts and conmen. The UAE dont.
I found your comment about the oil to be telling. Russia has been one of the world’s largest oil producers, and it’s politicians and oil execs own massive yachts and theme park like properties, but a large majority of the population still lives in relative poverty. 🤷🏽♂️
Going to Dubai seems like it would be like someone visiting Las Vegas and thinking that's how every place is in the US.... the strip isn't set up for real life it's supposed to be an over the top tourist experience
Vegas was built as a gambling place…and then converted as a vacation place offering luxurious hotels, restaurants, pools, shows and quick weddings. Buy if you take these fake things it just sand….just like that country😢😢😢 I like to live in a place that is green, where it rains, and where trees grow…here in Florida we have the best of both worlds…
If you live in the Emirates it is a very different experience. You get to know people from all over the world and enjoy different cultures and perspectives. Many people form life-ling friendships and enjoy the beach and sea. I lived there for 20 years and we have many life-long friends. We felt very happy and safe there. As a tourist you wouldn't experience it the same way of course.
🫶🏻🫶🏻
if you live here in new york, or toronto or london etc. you get to meet people from all over the world as well as tons of locals. you mix with everyone everyday. there aren’t the barriers the emirates put up. there’s no us versus them.
@@aitchteathere isn’t, as an Emirati I feel sad that you feel this way. The majority of emirats are welcoming and friendly.
@Synth Cat
You would need to find a more civilized and humane place to live.
But it’s very separated it seems. The locals vs the expat community. Enjoying the expat nature of the country with all the diversity is great, but as Eli puts it, that’s not the local history/culture of the indigenous people. I

I am the opposite, I definitely prefer the cold. But I do prefer dry hotness to humid hotness.
Hope you get to visit Serbia sometime
Ja mislim da je rekla jednom da je bila , a i u nas u hr :)
But I read that the people that go there to build are treated like slaves
You've been very diplomatic Eli, but I think that the reason you don't like it is that it's fake or should I say not genuine. If you want the opposite of that, go to Sultanate of Oman, you'll be amazed.
They seem like a nice people/culture but I don’t trust it. Get a bad feeling/vibe from how the society is set up.
Eli you need to travel Southeast Asia to get melt by weather, culture and pleasure all at the same time!
I visit Dubai every year alone , for 8 days... Firstly - the safest country in the world , secondly - cool shopping and wonderful sea. But I would never want to live in UAE ...
Russian girl's impressions of the UAE & expat life in the Emirate of Ajman. Interesting and engaging video. I support your video. Watched the video on March 09, 2023 very like.Thank you
...Eli the plot twist expert :) ..the real reason for visiting UAE not yet revealed..so can't wait for the part 2 😎👍
Why should i be surprised she was leaving russia??
Bad times to live in kremlin palace.

Great job trying to understand the country. Going beyond first impressions. Travellers' Wisdom.
Awesome shots. That mountain range at the end was amazing.
And i had to lol when Hasham was trying to teach you the pronounciation. 😆
Rent is cheap ! According to Google, the income goes from €2700 up to 4000. Holy moly.
"Rent is *cheap"* you say ?? But according to what Khasham was saying in the video, a typical flat goes for anywhere between 8 100 to more than 8 700 $US per month...!! That makes even *London* appear relatively "reasonably priced" 😆.... Might those figures have perhaps been misprints or miscalculations then...??

I have the same feeling when traveling to UAE..
Dear Eli, I watch you all the time, you are a lovely girl. I watch and listen to KALINKA. The beautiful kids dancers are truly amazing. My 80 year old heart breaks when I hear that over 100 thousand Russian kids were sacrificed by Putin, for what? I’m an immigrant from Hungary 1956, I learned Russian in Hungary, I love to say that I’m American with Hungarian roots. Your empty apartment buildings are a sign of the 100000 + lost their lives because your so called leaders. YOU MUST STOP HIM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WAKE UP PRINCESS.
Is this your way of saying Ukraine was right to murder all the civilians, in the Donbas, and other Russian speaking regions since 2016? .... Go away idiot.. Ukraine is about to fall, its out of ammo and sleepy Joe is asking all his allies to give them more ammo, that they do not have. Blame NATO not everyday Russians Mr CIA troll.
I am very glad to hear that you have a secured income, wealthy enough not to worry for tomorrow and not having problems to solve, having savings and not losing investments and so on, but you don't realize that most of the people around the world must fight for today's and tomorrow food, having no security and stability and that is why no time for politics.
Hi Eli, Since you can go to the UAE, can you travel to Ireland (you would love it and they would love your red hair)? Have you been to England or the United States? Your videos are great! 🙂
Yes, she studied abroad in the US at a university in West Virginia.
Eli, you are the bright spot of the day.
Hey Elii, just having lots of ressources in the ground doesnt mean that your country will become rich. In fact if you look around many countries that have lots of ressources are quite poor.
Why that is? That happens when you do not spread the income you generate by selling those ressources to your whole population but a few people use this wealth to become super rich themself.
The UAE is one example how to do it right, Norway is a better one. In Norway the profits from the oil and gas are put into a investment fund owned by the state and its population. This has made Norway one of the richest countries world wide.
In Russia there are a handful of oligarchs that basically control all the wealth and so not your government can put this money to use. Yes it might have a trickle down effect of some sort, like when an oligrach wants to build a new villa and there is not a good road to the location then he may build a better road so he can go there more comfortably and of course the workers that build the stuff get paid too.
But the largest part of his money does nothing to create more wealth in russia.
I know for a fact that every € publicly invested in germany creates roughly 10 more €. Example: A new highway is being built. The workers who build it get their wages and buy food and clothing with it. The clothing company can buy new machines or hire more workers and the farmer too. Now the tractor company can do the same and so on.
Second big problem of russia is most of the ressources are located in places nobody wants to live in like in the far north or in inaccessible mountains. This leads to increased extraction cost for those ressources and therefore a smaller profit.
For example Norilsk Nickel exracts precious metals in Norilsk near the arctic ocean. Nobody would move there without some strong motivation in form of a much better pay. Also machines and infrastructure in those rather extreme locations tend to break down more easy as in warmer climates which all drives up the cost.
But Norilsk Nickel cant raise the price for nickel as high as they would like but has to sell it for whatever the current world market price is. Which limits the profit.
Add to that that the russian society is basically still in the early 20th century from its development for the largest part. Which is further amplified by the bad russian civil infrastructure (not many roads, no internet in many places) which leads to slow travelling news and only slow travelling people.
Factor in that Moscow is basically the center of russia and the rest becomes gradually worse the farther away from Moscow you are means also that not that many people can come together in one place to protest against it.
If we germans all would decide that the politcs in Berlin are shit and we want to protest there so they can see our anger for themself we could easily have like 10 million more people there within a day. Could you bring 10 million more people to Moscow if you wanted to protest against your government if you wanted to in 24 hours? I doubt it.
All those things make it easier for your elite to control most of the population and also to make many people uninterested in politics cause they fell like they cant change a thing.
So is russia responsible for where it is right now? I say yes, you cant control everything like market prices and stuff but if you have next to no will to develop your country and society into something more modern then you will be forever stuck in the past.
Which is best represented by your victory parades each year. You are celebrating a victory that was 80 years ago cause you have nothing else to be proud of more recently, sad but true.
Nobody else has parades for the victory over the nazis anymore, you know why? We have moved on, nobody really cares that much about something that happened 80 years ago. We usually have to much to do living our everyday life.
But the russian backward mentality is what is limiting russia.
I fell asleep reading this diatribe mate, but what i read was sort of a passive aggressive BS attack on Eli.
As for the riches of Germany, foreign workers are making the roads. Corporate owned stores foreign owned, are robbing the people who have the money, with extortionist food prices, most of the food stuffs are from overseas. The average German gets Sweet FA from your so called investments in country. Same here in Australia, we are rich, but we have nothing. The foreigners own it all..
@@Lex-Hawthorn 😀👍 i slept also
The Grand Mosque was quite impressive, but the Starbucks kind of surprised me. One of the best things about the desert in the summer are the warm nights when you can relax, eat and drink outside, after the sun goes down. The desert can have its charm and serenity, but I try to schedule that for winter or spring. Camping in the California deserts in the winter and early spring is very memorable. The nights are cool and the days are perfect.
You were very diplomatic at the end and put a nice spin on your visit. Who knows, maybe it will flourish...
You're the best Eli! I love your videos wherever you trek. Much affection from Texas to🐨🦘Stay safe and Enjoy!
every kind of American fast food chains you can think of lol
You should try Tel Aviv, the most Russian city in the world outside of Russia - 20% of the people from Russia or the former USSR - and a very hip and fun city on the sea.

Are you planning to come India? We regularly watch your TH-cam channel
I couldn’t even imagine visiting a place that disrespects women like that. It’s not a place where I’d ever want to live or see.
you should go to Philippines... expirience the warm filipino hospitality and culture... Visit manila BGC and expirience the tropic island life Bohol or Palawan
Of course they have a history, but they destroyed most of it & built modern buildings.
Their entire country is similar in size to Moscow & their massive oil money is used in that small area whereas Russia has to spend its oil money to develop the biggest country in the world - & so the results are different.
That couple were quite odd & not interesting. The girl looked like a child of parents who drank too much & her comments "it's hot here" were so simple-minded. It would be better to have talked to real locals.
Why do you call the video "leaving Russia"? It sounds political & I think it's intentional & not good because it's not the first example from this channel. Just remember - people who stab their country in the back, especially in wartime, will stab their friends & family in the back. Nobody likes a traitor.
Great video! Any thoughts about checking out digital nomad hot spots like Budapest, ChiangMai, Bali, etc? Good luck :)

Been to Dubai 5 years ago. I know how it is there
I have very fond memories of the UAE. Back in the '90's we could not believe that there were Soft drink vending machines on street corners or how clean, laid back and relaxed it seemed. No idiot would try and Assault me, rob me or stab me because they were on drugs. I loved shopping, risking your life when crossing the Dubai River aboard the Water -Taxis and just the lifestyle. _ Happy Days.
It's all the things that only money can buy. It's a sterilized fairyland that excludes all imagination and authenticity. Not my thing.
Hello Eli, try Philippines. You'll find beautiful places here. You will experience Filipino hospitality and of course, our delicious foods. Am sure you will enjoy learning our culture. ❤️
Like you Eli, I visited UAE about 5 years ago due to airline schedule. It was very interesting but I like trees, cooler weather, seasons, etc. like you have back in Central Russia. It is difficult to change our likes when we grow up in seasonal areas. Will you come to visit the USA in the future? It shouldn't be hard to get a visa for working.
Please don’t come to the United snake of America Eli. I want to leave the United snake of American myself to come live and work in mother Russia 🇷🇺
My nephew is a hotel manager in the Emerates. He rives motorcycles, him and his kids ride horses and they have an active look life. If you want to experience the soul you need to get out of the malls. Go to a desert picnic and discover the so many things there. I know my nephew loves it there. Enjoy your trip
Is fascinating how such a desired place for people in reality has no soul. I was there, thanks Eli for speaking your mind and not only showing tourist places and how wonderful those cities are
I agree, I wouldn't travel there. Only if it was for work but I wouldn't go sightseeing or living there.
Think about what you are saying. People have souls, places do not. Perhaps you mean that connection between people, which of course is more difficult when you don't know many people. And when you walked past a masjid, and heard the athan calling to prayer, it had no affect on you, so perhaps it is you that has no soul? It's just a perspective right? At least the government cares about it's people, and the leader has a vision, and has created a safe country. Now you can list all the other places that fulfill that criteria.
@@SA-cloud Whether you're a Muslim, or not, your thinking is very literal, like most Muslims. Of course, places don't have souls, but it seems that you don't understand figurative speech, (as in a figure of speech). When people talk about the soul of a country, or a city, it's more a figure of speech, than an actual soul, as for humans. But that might be too hard for your mind to imagine, isn't it? I'm not picking on you personally, since this's true for the 99% of Middle-easterners, of whom I'm one, myself, hence, Sci-Fi being the least popular form of entertainment here.
As for the government that takes care of its people, yes, I agree with you 100%, because that's the only way that that form of government, as in the whole Middle East region, can actually justify its legitimacy, minus any form of a representative government. So, every Emir, or King, or even President, in this region, must act as father, who takes good care of his citizen-children, even treat them as little children, who must be rewarded for good behavior, and punished for misbehavior. And this probably explains why Middle-easterners in general are of the least emotionally mature people on earth, having the lowest EQ in the world. They live and die as some of the most emotionally retarded people in the world, live and die never knowing the true taste of freedom, live and die never knowing what personal sovereignty is, live and die never knowing what complete independence and self-sufficiency is, live and die never knowing what total self-responsibility, and live and die forever remaining the emotionally-retarded children of their Emir. A society without renewable wisdom, creativity, arts, invention, technology, without ever reaching its full human potential. Oh, but they're so good at recalling and remunerating their past accomplishments, as well as, in imitating Western culture to the extent of following them into the shaft of a lizard (as per the Hadith of the Prophet).
@@kauaimu Wha, so complicated! Don't be so crazy, because, yes democracy is wonderful, but do you really know what's behind it? Take the UK. The people really have little control over their elected representatives. They can walk into the parliament, and lie, you you know it's a lie, but they pretend it's the truth.
I am not like others you may happen upon, not at all, for I know much more about this reality than most know is possible. And that isn't just some idol talk. For a moment, imagine what I am saying. Yes, you will meet very few people that really know. Oh, don't jump to conclusions, I'm simply a shadow, I hardly exist, only from time to time, I was made to understand things others do not.
Humans can be the most noble of creatures or worst than animals. The race is the same for all, some have decided to understand more than what they eyes deceive them to understand. Some, were rewarded beyond what they deserve, but then, truly, He creates and chooses out of them.

Hi Eli, Good video. In terms of your comment about “How can UAE be so nice when Russia pumps so much more oil than UAE you are only part right. Yes the government choices on spending matter. But to be fair Russia has a much larger population to spread that money across and a much larger territory on which to try to build infrastructure. Russia could absolutely do a better job than it does now, but only a handful of tiny countries could ever hope to match what UAE has done. I agree that UAE has no culture, but that’s not what attracts people. If you ask someone, “Do you want to live someplace where the housing is new, the streets are safe and there are lots of good jobs available?” There is a pretty good chance that they will say “yes, at least for awhile!”

Let's say you don't want to spend your time shopping in malls AT ALL. What can you do in the UAE ? You say you didn't have a chance to experience the real culture of this place, maybe it is not accessible for 95% of the population who are just employee for the petrol money of the emirates. The nationals represent how much of the population, 10% ? The petrol wealth is trickling to them only, whatever culture they has become materialistic consumerism . It's just a petrol republic. But I noticed your Pakistani friend was very nice and humble and made a great effort to make you have good time.

I get the same feeling when there. People like their own community hubs there and get their sense of belonging. You can find locals if you stay there long enough and you will get invited in to their homes, that is where the magic is.

Я очень горжусь своей землячкой (я из Перми и вполне могла бы быть вашим учителем по возрасту и по профессии, много лет живу в США), но мне становится очень стыдно как учителю в моменты как этот 11:30 - математика, видимо, не ваш любимый предмет. Страна по площади 5/1000 от России, по населению 1/15, доходов от нефти получает в 3 раза меньше (да, это не просто по запасам на 5-6 месте, а по доходам от продажи, что по-моему, более актуально). Включите воображение на минуту - страна по площади в два раза меньше вашего родного Пермского края имеет 1/3 дохода России от продажи нефти. Добавьте, или вернее отнимите, необходимость прокладывать и поддерживать в рабочем состоянии тысячи километров нефтепроводов на широте полярного круга по тайге по вечной мерзлоте через реки и горы, при отрицательных температурах 6 месяцев в году, затраты на разведку в тех же условиях (и ведь иммигрантов, как в Эмиратах, не заманишь в такие условия ни на какие деньги) Мне кажется неправильно сравнивать страну где от самой дальней нефтевышки до ближайшего порта 100 км с теми условиями что есть в России.
к тому же населения во всей стране (включая мигрантов) меньше, чем в москве

When I visited Dubai in 2015 I didnt get to see or do anything bc I was sick and some other personal reasons but I too did not enjoy it. I also felt its only shopping malls and busy city buildings etc. Everything was far and had to walk alot or drive alot so it was really miserable.

What needs to be talked about is the 90% expats who are migrant works who do service and construction work. How are they treated; talk to them or Human Rights Watch. The word that comes to mind is exploited? Your thoughts Eli?
You are right Eli, no nature no soul. Even city built with pure gold becomes soulless without nature ⛰️🏔️🏞️🌲🌳🌴🌵.
It's basically just a rich people's playground.
If there is no greenery, forests or natural it's not Uae's foult because UAE is desert country, if you want grow a tree in UAE you have to spend thousands of dollars, so don't compare UAE with other countries,
Nature is something gifted by God. And in UAE nature is just desert. If you see desert is nature too. Its part of mother nature.

Ofcourse yes, even dessert 🏜️ with its natural flora and fauna 🌵🌴 looks osm, but what I & Eli mean is, in Dubai man made concrete jungle lacks soul. 😭
Nice to see you again and your sweet smile. Bye bye😘😘😘
I agree with you. Shopping malls are where civilisation goes to die.
Perhaps it's not for you, but so many Russians are buying property there now for obvious reasons. 50 years is a short timeframe for what the UAE has achived, and the leader takes care of his people. He also has a vison for his country. Personally, I think having a place in the UAE is perfect if you can afford it, it's located to get to many other places in 6 - 7 hours, so you can be other places when it's too hot. 😄
What I like to do it deal with the positives of things and places; having travelled to a few other cities I like, but I see the same old issues and visionless leaders, and tax, something that you don't have to pay in the UAE.
Having 2 such lovely friends in Dubai Eli puts back all the character that Dubai normally hasn't got, not lost, as it never has had character. Hasham's Urdu is entwined so much with Farsi, that being a Farsi speaker one can very basically communicate with a Urdu speaker. Depending on his accent Hasham may not agree with that, but I have no problem using Farsi when ordering food in a Pakistani restaurant. I'm Australian but learnt to speak Farsi in the South West of Iran (1970's), with heavy Kurdish overtones and an Aussie accent to add flavour😳 Eli you'd be surprised how many Russian, or Slavic words are in Farsi, but unfortunately not enough to communicate with. Dubai, the city, is sterility on steroids, ugh!! All that desert is where the character of Dubai (the UAE) lays, under the stars with the noises of the animals and birds of a night, such natural beauty. Hot of a day, yes, but so what. The desert people have so much traditional culture, however finding them in their traditional camps can be a problem but their hospitality is beyond reproach. Sharing a cup of tea with them is quite priceless. As usual with all your videos Eli, this video is factual and faultless.🙏🙏💗💯
Now, this is a comment/feedback I can totally get behind of, being a person of this region, myself.
@col McLaurin Urdu and Persian are similar in Alphabets and kind of same in accent too.
Dubai is an over rated city, I'd actually go as far as to say it's disgraceful
Is it expensive to live there? Initially I saw how much the apartment rents for, I gasped at the price if I understood it right. How much does 1 person need to live comfortably there? I really enjoy your videos, and your friends were so delightful as well.
Its not that expensive same as anywhere else in the world and depends which part of the city you live. Thank you for your kind words.
Welcome to UAE , I’m local guy watching ur videos. Great videos you’re making 😊. If you want to know more about UAE, let me know
*_I hope you have a pleasant journey, Eli, respect wherever the ground is stepped on, that is our Indonesian philosophy of life_*
no way i will visit that country
I have to say that I really loved this particular video. Very well done Eli.
wstydu nie macie, jedź do buczy i irpina i pokaż mogiły cywilów w lesie,
Hello Eli 👋
Thank you for another very interesting video. And very informative as well. We get the opportunity to visit these places with you as you travel and share your experiences with us. I really appreciate that.
I spent some time in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait when I was younger and yes I agree, it can get very very hot there. But, the people always treated me with respect, so I cannot say anything bad. It is always very nice to experience different cultures and try their foods.
As always Eli, thank you for such a beautiful outlook on life, you are so refreshing, and gorgeous as well. ❤️
thanks to hashim for representing pakistani hospitality
and love for Eli from Pakistan 🇵🇰 ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 💕 💖

My husband name is Khasham 😀 خشام. We recently visited Pakistan. My husband family showed true Pakistani hospitality. ❤️. Its in our channel.
Why the malls? Their leaders wanted, specially Dubai, to be a financial center in preparation for the depletion of oil and gas. This is done employing labor and professionals from other countries. Many of my govt officemates got hired in the UAE.
Maybe give Oman a try; it's right next door from the UAE. The weather is the same, but otherwise it gets rid of the UAE's other downsides. The people are on the average friendlier and more grounded, the nature is way better (yay mountains!), the cities are built at a human scale, their history is more interesting as they were essentially the Portugal of Arabia and had colonies stretching from Pakistan to Zanzibar. And it's very safe for women travelers. It's easily my favorite country in the region; maybe that will change if/when I ever get to visit Iran.
The architecture is the thing I would like to see in real time but the complete atmosphere around feels dead.
Bcos unlike europe there’s no preserved architecture from past
All are modern day skyscrapers which we can see everywhere these day
Uae somehow is not showcasing it’s culture instead I see riches with skyscrapers
Eli i like ur videos. Love from Bangladesh.
Again, thank you so very much, Eli. Again, I am learning so much from you.
Be safe and have fun.
❤
Russia is my favorite country. Moscow is amazing and has nothing to envy to other world capitals such as Dubai, New York etc. Abu Dhabi is nice! If you like people go to Iran, they are amazing and so welcoming.
Glad to hear 'bahut achcha' from you, Eli. Take love from India. 🇮🇳
HI ELI... ILOVE you... ILOVE RUSSIA intelligent person like you 💋💋💋💋
Not having the opportunity to speak with very many everyday people there says much about your not being able to gage the depth of the local population. A longer stay would have given you a better feel about the place. Very insteesing and informative video.
I hope you have opportunity to visit the United States for a few weeks or more and also hope you eventually go back to Russia and begin a business offering fun tours of places in your own country.
Your heart is good and your journey is so interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Eli; I enjoy your programs. The Emirates and really the whole structure of industrial society is just a 'flash in the pan' (as we say in the USA, not sure where that comes from). The techno-industrial world is 100% dependent on a massive flow of fossil fuels-- note that they are 'fossil' fuels, an inheritence from the past. The 'world' burns 100 million barrels (42 gallons per barrel) per day of petroleum
