Can’t help but say I think you’re bigger than life. You bring me so much joy. Thank you for sharing your adventures. I look forward to them!

[@DownieLive]

Wow, thank you! That is such a kind comment. Thank you Julie! Have a great day!

[@kathleenchild]

So happy you’re keeping an open mind and taking opportunities when they’re presented. Visiting new places, trying new foods and experiencing different customs/cultures and traditions can help you gain an appreciation for diversity.

[@merrileeheard3889]

Mike might not be larger than life, but his adventures sure all❤

[@jeffreyspencer4005]

WOW!! Mike, so amazing to be able to "share" the experience with you...I have never seen anything like it! Safe travels and thanks for taking us along... 🙂

[@DownieLive]

More to come!

[@itsnotme07]

Nice! As a former employee of Polaroid's Credit Union.....LOL A Polaroid picture...priceless!!

[@DownieLive]

Right?!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

0:36 I love this ‘80s Edgy Guy Hairstyle we have here.

[@Floppycombtownsend-mz7zf]

I like how he goes around and does things that we probably don't no about🤔🤔

[@sogg223]

Mike, love the content and the way you go into cultures as well as the trips. Your definitely adding to the bucket list

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

One cannot watch this video (let alone any of your videos) without a perpetual smile and absolute pure joy circulating throughout the veins. This video was a true adventure. The people you came into contact with were all so friendly and hospitable. Thank you for being a beautiful light in the world. God bless you 75 pretty cool plane logo. Quite the cliff hanger ending; I look forward to the next episode.

[@DownieLive]

Thank you so much! That’s such a kind comment 😊

[@matthewhildebrandt1901]

What a fantastic experience! Very cool. As always, thanks for bringing us along, Mike!

[@shawnhillman8630]

Wow Mike, what a great adventure! Thank you for taking us there. I have some new plans coming up I see.

[@LILPETE15]

Love the Padres decal at 10:51 , greeting from San Diego!

[@humansomewhat2167]

Love the historical reenactment, that is really cool and a fun way to bring the liveliness into consideration that those ruins once had in their heyday.

[@gaylepowers3981]

Wow! Another new and unique experience. I just love traveling with you. Keep up the good work. WONDERFUL!

[@katherinec2759]

So much of that scenery just looks like someone built it for a movie set! It almost doesn't look real. Absolutely incredible!

[@jasonmacneil2256]

Mike, you are the BEST!! Keep doing what you're doing, my friend!!

[@heathermcdermid3673]

Can't wait for next week, wow just wow. And the outdoor dining lounge OMG, everything just everything.

[@kevinwells4986]

I watch you as much as I can. I am going to watch this because my son-in-law is coming back from Saudi Arabia tonight. I'm proud of what he does, but it is difficult in travel - and you do that all the time. He manages sound systems, and does the mixing at performances. It was his first time there as well. I look forward to hearing his experience albeit he probably did not have much free time. Thanks Donnie for all of our videos. I have never been disappointed!

[@Evelyn-yj2es]

I love watching people going to different places! It is so entertaining! 😄

[@redgarcia1427]

I'm VERY glad I found your channel! It is one of the best on KZbin!! It's more like a television series than just ramblings of places you've been! I can't stop watching!!✌🐢

[@patriciafuchs5970]

You do the coolest things! All the beauty surrounding you, it deeply saddens me that there is war near by. We need peace and brotherhood.

[@Mochi-sn3ud]

This was so amazing to see and you are so blessed to have experienced this adventure and take me along

[@bobmatrix1]

Your channel is my bucket list! Keep up the good work!

[@722guy]

Man went from showing Vancouver parks to getting that arab money..big ups

[@DownieLive]

Except I didn’t get paid any money for this video (just gifted free flights by Red Bull), but I see your sentiment, and honestly… that Vancouver Park video was when I almost quit. I guess you never know how far you’ll make it one day. Thanks for the support.

[@heatherrowles9930]

Loving the new experiences and the new locations Mike. Keep travelling and taking us with you.....looking forward to next week and the next adventure.

[@patrickgibson6648]

What a fantastic opportunity for you. I glad your enjoying it and sharing with us.

[@peonycottageboutique4154]

Incredible. Loved this video and can’t wait til the next instalment. And business class. Love it. That’s the way travel should be for everyone.

[@zoozabdol7028]

I strongly recommend you to visit Najran since you’re already in the country (it’s my hometown and it’s really worth visiting)

[@SinanDrip]

Thank you for taking us with you! Wonderful Area 😍

[@iandingle3640]

What an awesome trip! Thanks for sharing!

[@rikkiechambers4959]

Love this .. what a beautiful spot ! Excited for next weeks full episode !

[@Tbpker22]

Mike, this is adventure plus-plus-plus!!! Such great fun - thank you!

[@terrybc7004]

Mike you do such a great job to find all these trips of yours! Keep up the great work!!! That A380 is HUGE!!!!!!!

[@DownieLive]

It’s so big!

[@sidnistandard]

LOVE these journeys that you share with us, Mike!

[@lamarblake]

Your videos always make me feel like I'm right there beside you. What a fantastic experience!

[@T3CHGY007]

Now that's is what you call an adventure! Can't wait for next week!

[@smiley_squirrel]

Thank you for sharing another video with us.

[@jonathanknight6484]

Thanks Mike for another great adventure. I can't wait for next week!

[@LucasParleF1]

What a cool video man! I’m excited to see what’s coming next week 👀 And very happy to have shared this experience with you 🙏🏼

[@DownieLive]

You too, Lucas! Meeting you and Stephane made the week so much more fun. See you again soon, I’m sure!

[@annettedidiodato6193]

Wow...what an experience. Thank you for sharing with us....Look forward to you interesting videos each week...❣

[@pauletteliddell2923]

What an adventure. Glad you had a good the.❤ Prayers to stay safe. 🙏👍

[@trevorfletcher6335]

My favorite channel man! Keep it up and keep smiling.

[@Niteskate1]

Wow Mike just incredible, what memories you must have, and the buildings created so long ago by hand.

[@neoxyte]

Thanks for another great upload as always.

[@joshstauber3335]

Man that is beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing. Alula is a very popular place right now for its ancient discoveries that are being found.

[@bobtuckey2409]

What an amazing trip Mike! You’re one lucky guy. Keep up the good work.

[@DeborahAiles]

We just never know what adventures we will discover next! How awesome! Thanks Mike! Stay safe!

[@andrewkast4087]

Amazing adventure! I would have never expected scenery like this in the desert! Thank you for the invitation!

[@Diane-cv7jb]

Wow! What a nice experience! Thank you for sharing and enjoy!💛

[@DownieLive]

Thanks for coming along, Diane!

[@John_Fugazzi]

This was truly unique, even for your channel, which is always full of surprises, when you said you would surprise us with what you were going to Arabian desert for, my guess was an auto race. I would never have guessed a falcon race viewed from an indoor facility. those rock formations were reallly stunning as well.

[@DownieLive]

It was such a stunning landscape

[@steveinarkansas8643]

Not much anyone can say but WOW. What a great trip you were offered and by sharing it, I'm sure there are a lot of us viewers that would like to and some that can go. Thank you

[@PokhrajRoy.]

3:08 Awwwwwww this is so cute ❤

[@Lynn-sz9gp]

Awesome video Mike! Thank you for sharing.

[@DownieLive]

You bet!

[@fashiongirlvargas1]

Loving the vlogs 🫶🫶missed u after two weeks glad ya back

[@zhukov43]

Can’t wait for next week, awesome content as always.

[@joycedysart3610]

What an amazing place...can't wait for the next video

[@candacejackson5044]

The flights looked amazing. A little jealous of the travels, even though I never would picture myself going to Saudi Arabia. Enjoy your videos because you make them fun and educational as well as enjoyable.

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

Ohhh!!! This will be thrilling no doubt! I cannot wait to see this.

[@marlenemacfarlane6199]

Amazing video of your trip to the desert the airport’s were awesome

[@cederian]

Its a good day when a Downie Live video drops!

[@sheilaathay2034]

Sure does look like Utah, where I live. You're right, Michael! Thanks for the trip!❤🎉

[@SamARFDF]

Beautiful place!!

[@dennisud]

This one was well worth the watch. I suggest a few events in South America. Just look up a few for a future adventure!

[@katherinespencer2633]

What a fabulous experience! Lucky you!!

[@groovyroses]

Wow what an experience from flying from Hong Kong to Saudi Arabia to the desert and everything in between. Thanks for sharing your adventures. I always looking forward to the next video.

[@DownieLive]

Our pleasure!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

4:12 I remember going here and obviously ranked with anxiety that I’m going to lose something or get lost in the vast expanse of this megastructure.

[@DanielleGlick]

I've been following you for years and coincidentally have been looking at Alula as a travel destination for a small group trip I'm planning. You're the first vlogger I've seen actually go there, so thank you! I heard they have just started to develop this area for tourism, and I guess your promo trip means they are officially ready to welcome visitors. Would you say so?

[@DownieLive]

It sure seems like they're ready for tourism. We were welcomed everywhere and it seems like tourism based development is well under way.

[@DanielleGlick]

​@@DownieLive Thanks for the response! The places you went in this video looked a bit like tourist traps, and not even ones designed for English speakers. Did you happen to notice if there are opportunities for an English guide to take you out into the dessert for more of a real exploration of ruins, without actors and candles everywhere?

[@DownieLive]

@DanielleGlick oh yes. There is so much open desert space. But… I’m not sure what you’d do out there…

[@christopheroliver7589]

I'm in complete awe of that open-air restaurant toward the end of your episode. What a unique experience this is for you, Michael. Have a great time!

[@martinparker8731]

Just a casual Apache and Black Hawk sitting at the airport 😂

[@Toreld52]

Wow, this was a nice suprise ❤ Thank you.

[@DownieLive]

Glad you liked it!

[@Raven.1234]

Wow this has been the most magnificent video you have shown to date! Stunning!

[@DownieLive]

Thanks so much 😊

[@caseylynch1993]

They have a beautiful country. Reminds me of the desert where I live, near Palm Springs. Love the desert. Just not loving California anymore, I need a slower paced city life.

[@AileenMalingin]

That is awesome. Freaking cool. I only be able to travel once in a while that is why I always look into your youtube channel.

[@jessoncho5190]

This is why I sub to this guy he shows every part of the world and in any video I do not miss at least 2 seconds

[@orlabuckley9641]

Wow that looked amazing Mike

[@hovelbunker713]

Love the content!!!

[@ringsystemmusic]

Ayyyy welcome back king! Edit: holy cow the play at the tombs is an excellent idea.

[@Mattdewit]

I loved the softy ice cream remark because there is free ice cream in the Dubai tranfer terminal as you might know

[@MrRobertcarnell]

I heard of Emirates but first time seeing someone on it. Very nice. Lot of attention to detail with stars on ceiling and the Polaroid idea. Too bad about the rush and not seeing their lounge. But the airports seem like size of West Edmonton mall so you had to rush :)

[@DownieLive]

Hahaha, true! The airport was huge!

[@SebJanke]

Awesome that you get to go to the launch of the aston martin F1 car!

[@errollleggo447]

The sunset through the rocks is what got me.

[@DownieLive]

OMG same!

[@DannyA3579]

Falcons are just such gorgeous birds. I got to hold one in Abu Dhabi. Incredible.

[@pamelajohnson9260]

Oh my goodness. Fabulous.

[@LocaldudeCA]

This is awesome. I want to visit this place.

[@DLeadVox]

💛💛💛 Thank you for taking us with you! Without you, we would never be able to experience it.

[@bajlandiabajlandia5898]

Adventurous movie😍!

[@robbe3334]

i found this channel through the narrow boating in wales series of videos. and since those series i would love to see you do Göta kanal in sweden including göta älv. wich makes you travel across the entire country. i was personally unable to find anyone on YT who has filmed the entire journey through.

[@NickGoesFar]

I lived and worked in Kuwait a few years back and when I had to make a business trip back to the United States I intentionally booked my route on emirates on the A380 - I spent most of the flight in the back lounge with a few other passengers. It was amazing! Of course...sans polaroid back then, what the heck!

[@junegagnon6506]

Hi Mike! Love your videos. My husband and I are from Abbotsford BC. So I try to watch your adventures via videos on KZbin whenever I can. This is so neat because I have been so enamored with watching videos and learning about Jordan. If I was younger I would have loved to have gone there for a trip. But now we are armchair travelers . I am wondering if you will be going to Jordan? I guess we will see, eh...Enjoy your trip and time there..all the best...June ..🐪

[@DownieLive]

Thank you June! I'm not planning on going to Jordan anytime soon, but it's definitely on the list. I'd love to see it. One day.

[@Kanadiankid]

Been watching you for over a year and the content keeps getting better!! Cheers from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@DownieLive]

Awesome! Thank you! I really appreciate that.

[@MTLud]

Another awesome video mate as per usual

[@DownieLive]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tomtilden4611]

Thanks!

[@DownieLive]

Thanks so much, Tom!

[@niceguy5976]

This was a fantastic adventure. Just when you think it's over, there is another surprise right around the corner, and even more after that. Can't wait for next week!

[@DownieLive]

Can't wait!

[@zapper302]

Absolutely amazing adventure so far. What an interesting cultural experience that was.

[@goodson77784]

You do a good job of being upbeat!

[@carynmcentee6725]

This by far is the top 5 of coolest places you've been. I still love your Porsche driving on ice experience

[@DownieLive]

I agree, those 2 trips are some of my top experiences.

[@angelagendreau3586]

Awesome, I loved this

[@iamcoreilly]

Awesome adventure!

[@lesflynn4455]

It's a good thing the race isn't held in July, it's held in the middle of the northern winter. Everyone is still wearing t shirts in the middle of the day. It's a brutal place.

[@zoeazsss5035]

Looks like a glamourous trip. How lucky you are.

[@douglasvieira1990dv]

Omg the Dakar !!!!!!!!

[@terrynewell8968]

Very cool! Did you know camels originally came from Canada and their closest relative is the moose. This was on a PBS special.
