Traveling the Middle East: Dubai to Abu Dhabi (UAE)

[@BH-br4ee]

You're always so grounded wherever you travel, Gabe. You never seem to lose your calm.

[@garry0098]

This man deserves more likes

[@12abax]

you too

[@NicoleHRRCP]

Merry Christmas Gabe! THANKS for the amazing video's, look forward to next year's line up

[@IndigoTraveller]

I see what you were saying about the camera now Gabe, but video still came out well. Looking forward to Oman. Peace!

[@queenesther3369]

Hi Gabe, nice to know you came here in Abu Dhabi ! Enjoy 😊 more power to you!

[@enaanand]

I love your videos sooo much! I love how you just wander around and we can see a lot of non-touristy things... ;) It gives me the feeling of really being there myself!

[@rocco...]

$58 for a nice room, scrumptious meal and warm weather to boot. Not too shabby mon ami.

[@astrostar43]

I luv the sound of the call to prayer! Caught up with u!

[@tothenationsworldwidetrave4734]

Awesome video! So wonderful to see this country!

[@wanderingspirit7021]

Thank you again for another great video. You paint a pretty picture every where you go.

[@ravi2396]

Hi Gabriel i religiously watch the Ad's completely all the way to the end after i read from one of your members why they do it. I don't know whether you knew or not the commercials on your videos are actually worth watching and so tempting to click on them and actually make a sale from them. You are very special and even the Ad people know that. Happy holidays, travels, and safe journeys to you my friend.

[@alexivanovs]

Hey Gabriel, Nice to see you are as passionate as ever. Proud of you for investing (not over-vesting) in new gear and being humble about it. Keep rocking the flow and wish you all the best in 2018. :)

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks Alex, have an epic 2018 as well.

[@naser1436]

If you are still in AD, don't forget to go to Alain city and specially see the amazing farms in the middle of the sandy dessert and you must claim the mountain Jabal hefeet and enjoy the amazing view hot water spring.

[@Qataradventure]

realy love to travel around the world now im here at qatar so my next destination is other country

[@stankormy5717]

Lots of stunning buildings there! The food you ate looks appetizing. The camera is working well. Nice room you got.

[@happypenny4433]

Merry Christmas Gabe !!

[@omarab865]

Gabriel: I think you should’ve looked into the culture of the UAE because we have great culture but not many people know about it.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I haven't been here very long, so I'm learning a little about the country and the culture as I go along. A lot to learn and I'll probably leave in a few days still not knowing all that much, it would take spending more time in a country to really get to know it.

[@omarab865]

Gabriel Traveler I hope you come soon again :)

In Oman you must visit Alrustaq city they have this amazing volcanic water spring called Ain al kasfah, which is super hot and very therapeutic water, also try to go to the green mountain and climb to the peak, which is the highest peak in the Middle East, it's an easy climb and amazing view, and also go to Muttrah in Muscat must east authentic Omani grilled meat called Mishkak or mashakeek.... To explore Oman you need years, few days are not enough.

[@gato7908]

Pretty swanky room for a budget traveler, but you deserve it 😜

[@momplaygroupfouz4946]

Oman is beautiful you will enjoy it! Go to Jordan (Petra)! You'll love it.

[@davidsmith956]

Look at you living like a King with all these fancy hotel rooms. Looking forward to more videos from Abu Dhabi. The peace and quiet of a private room must be nice after your stay at the hostel. How strange did it feel going from India to the UAE with the less people and cleaner cities? Safe travels.

[@Q_QQ_Q]

i think this room is better than 65$ dubai room which was only a bit biggeer but pretty useless for one person . this $50 abu dhabi room is cool . . like the balcony too lol

[@andipianotchr]

Cool shirt Gabe. I know just going somewhere you haven't been to yet is fun and I'm really trying to feel it in Dubai but somehow all that concrete just isn't cutting it for me. looks like a concrete jungle. At least in LA it's pretty buildings and A LOT of art on our buildings. I hope more is to come that proves it all has much more to offer. Hope you're having a great time tho, my friend. ☺

[@speer458]

After seeing the buildings it's good you are in Abudabi from your Sony .cam

[@94vrcommodore]

Looking forward to seeing more Vlogs around the middle east. Keep up the work with your new camera. Happy you've treated yourself to a nicer hotel. Merry Christmas. :)

[@carltonthulo2217]

I have been to both Abu Dhabi and Dubai numerous times, and I feel that although Dubai may be more popular, I still prefer Abu Dhabi

[@chriswalls2262]

For me. It’s like Las Vegas mate. Can’t wait for you to leave.

[@retro527]

Las Vegas is soooo different from any city in the UAE lol. Dubai is kinda like South Florida.

[@BACKPACKTOPIA]

You can use "maps.me" which is a free phone app that I've been using all over the world for the last 18 months and it's always been super helpful. It has the same function as google maps but their map design is actually so much nicer. Really looking forward to see more hands on low budget info about this part of the world!

[@Jessicatx956]

Yay great another awesome video can’t wait to see it I love your videos Gabe keep them coming 👍🏻👌🏼🙂

[@faygo12]

50.00 a night. ok what am i missing?????? you'll pay more to stay at a Red Roof Inn outside of Detroit. What keeps their rates so low and Wow what a nice room!

[@yourbestselfuae1717]

you are doing a fine job, good audio, glad to see you 8n a nice hotel.

Cool bus front cam thing

[@chrisbrown8748]

This is going to be a epic trip👍👍

[@m.channle]

Iam from Oman come and you will enjoy , u can use local buses those are new buses with wifi , very clean and cheap ..places you must visit Mutrah , Sur "sink hole" , Wadi bani Khalid, Wahiba sands ...etc , food is almost same as Dubai but cheaper , what else ? u can ask me ..enjoy your stay in Oman

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Excellent, thanks for the tips, I'll write them down.

[@m.channle]

anytime feel free to ask

[@susanwood8086]

you are totally brilliant. am binge watching your videos on youtube.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Excellent, thanks!

[@denonoshten]

Gabriel you are awesome.We want to see you in Moscow :).

[@GlobalAdventurer]

Just a suggestion, if it will help. When you get the time, download the GPS app called "HERE we go". The Android Authority highly recommends it too. It's the only app I use for walking around or using a taxi or bus, so I always know where I'm at. It works with airplane mode activated too. Works everywhere I've been, even Nepal. Good luck, and thanks for all your videos.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Excellent, thanks, I'll check it out.

[@costitravel]

Merry Christmas!

[@travels129]

With 124 subs makes big difference for your traveling

[@margietucker1719]

That bus is the nicest one I've seen you on in awhile. A marked contrast from the India buses. Obviously a wealthy country has the money required to have top of the line infrastructure. Nice seats, good air-conditioning...I bet it even had a bathroom! (still remember the awkward problem you had on the bus with no bathroom ;) It was a lesson to us all...for that could happen to any of us. THIS bus...comfort, and no worries!

[@AnuragGupta2410]

Margie Tucker hi Margie, the bus that he has taken is from Dubai to Abu Dhabi which are two largest cities of Emirates, while in India he mostly prefers places in tough terrains where such luxury buses just can't operate, if you ever visit India and need to travel between major cities placed at short distance, you will get quite a good no. Of air conditioned luxury buses and also air conditioned trains with onboard catering for short & long distances, it's just how you choose to travel, if you prefer extreme luxury, you can spoil yourself with Palace on wheels and Maharajas express kind of luxurious trains. India is a vast country so railways & flights are preferred mode of transport for us & tourists as well ,for this reason the luxury bus services stay unnoticed in background, which mostly working professionals travelling intercity use when they can't get ticket in train.

[@atifkhanthegreat]

These buses are made by Mercedes

[@tea34iced]

There is a Hostel in Dubai Marina Area which is ATtheTop Bed & Breakfast for 126aed a night with Palm atlantis sea view...

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks a lot and Merry Christmas in return.

[@sukhikaur6065]

The video quality is good .nice video gud luck to you

[@IxDyNaMiczZxI]

Hi Gabe, you should look into downloading an app called "Maps ME" for your smartphone. Its free and you can download offline maps for places you choose, a much better option than google maps since you only need your location settings on and no mobile data. Looking forward to seeing your Oman videos, I hear its really nice!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Someone suggested another one called Here We Go and I downloaded that one. Yeah I'm looking forward to Oman as well. I'm very close now.

[@JeniferCornell]

Dessert haze. Never seen this. Cool video 😊

[@kristina8461]

Hey Gabriel, nice video! The image quality of the Sony is really good, the colours and crispiness of the image are way better than the Gopro. Also the audio seemed better, you are not using any external microphones right? The stabilization did not bother at least myself too much. However maybe you could consider getting Kimble (i.e. sort of stick like gorilla pod, but with inbuilt stabilization)? Enjoy Abu Dhabi and looking forward to your Oman videos :) Its more fun to see you exploring places which are new to yourself. Merry Xmas!!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Awesome, glad to hear it Kristina. No, I'm not using an external microphone. Merry Christmas and a happy 2018!

[@b.m.48933]

Hey Gabriel, I don't like your new camera. It's too shaky! It makes me nauseas.

[@aymanalfred1498]

great man

[@RoadsonWheels]

Awesome 👏 😎

[@Rambroo92]

@Gabriel Isn't that Ghubaiba Bus station at 0:40? I live nearby. I missed the chance to meet you I guess. Damn it!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yep, you got it. My hotel was just a few blocks away from there.

[@patce8094]

Nice video Gabe Merry Xmas

[@jwilcox3145]

I think the stabilization issues would be solved with a small gorilla pod or tripod. The quality is amazing!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Excellent, glad it looks good.

[@garisyabagaskara3930]

I wanna see you travelling to africa

[@yanceyboyz]

Gabe you absolutely have to go to the sheik zayed mosque in AD it’s one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Planning to go there tomorrow.

[@yanceyboyz]

Gabriel Traveler awesome! It’s incredible and actually worth doing the tour for some really interesting facts you may otherwise miss. Have a blast man!

Long live Abu Dhabi

[@nautiboiscuba]

The video quality is awesome but I do agree it is a bit shaky

[@jaymeez]

I hope you plan on doing a unboxing and/or review of the new camera...

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

If I get the chance to do a review yes. Not unboxing since I no longer have the box, lol.

[@jaymeez]

Great! Those Sony cameras are excellent. The kit lens 16-50 mm is light and very capable for excellent video and photo. There is also a 18-105mm lens which could be good if you didn't have to lug it around as a travel vlogger, since it's bigger and heavier but it does give you more flexibility. Putting myself in your shoes I'd get the cheap but very good kit lens 16-50mm with some extra "knock off" batteries from Amazon or where ever & a small lanyard to put around your wrist to minimize the chance of dropping it or in the unlikely chance of someone trying to snatch/grab ir from you. All the best Gabriel! :)

[@chacongarcia]

Where do you buy your bus tickets , online or at the bus terminals ?

Hi Gabriel, Do you have any planned trip to the continent of Africa like Kenya, Tanzania, or any other country? A reply would be greatly appreciated, thanks

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

At this point no, I don't have plans to go into Africa on this trip. I'm thinking of going to eastern Europe after the middle east.

loving these recent videos... keep traveling Gabe.. side note, is this on your new camera? Stabilization seems a little shakey

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks Dan. Yes it's with the new camera and I agree. I just posted a comment explaining a few things, check it out (you should see it if you refresh the page).

[@arilebon]

Stabalize in post-production?

[@RicardoRMedina]

Gabriel Traveler: Your trip to Morocco was in my opinion the best representative of middle eastern Arabic culture. Your videos of Dubai and UAE shows these countries too westernized and dull, too much concrete.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I agree. Looking forward to Oman, I think it will be more interesting.

[@omarab865]

Morocco isn’t middle eastern nor Arabic. Arabic cultures are in Yemen UAE Saudi Arabia Oman Kuwait Bahrain Jordan Iraq Arabs are people from the Arabian peninsula. Morocco is a Berber ethnically but Arabic speaking In the UAE we have a lot of Arabic culture but people who go focus on the modern things not the culture. Here are some cities you’ll find Culture Dubai: Bur Dubai(Al Fahidi Bastakiya) Deira ( Dhows and Abras and Souks) Hatta (Mountains with Springs and castles) AbuDhabi: Castles and Forts within the Island On Bani Yas Island is one of the oldest churches Al Ain (Forts mountains springs Bronze Age tombs Palm Gardens) Fujairah ,Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain: Pearl Diving Traditional Fishing Traditional Cooking Etc Within the People you’ll find: Traditional Cloth and its functions Perfumery and Fragrances Food Hospitality Camels Jewellery (pearls) Hunting (falcons) Coffee making Religious Activities

[@RicardoRMedina]

Do they speak Arabic?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yes you guys are right, Morocco isn't middle east at all or Arab ethnically, but they do speak Arabic.

[@skepticproof]

Half moroccan are arabs, each their reagion, and yes they feel middle eastern more than anything else, plz leave racism away from this positive channel.

How you get a bus ticket?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I got the bus ticket near where I was standing when I started the video, there's an office nearby.

[@usedbrickie9166]

Sorry, but I liked the old cameras way better. You asked... thanks. You would have thought Santa would have been a little nicer. MB

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Which old cameras? You mean the GoPro?

[@usedbrickie9166]

Yes, but maybe not for everything. I even liked the old Icon. Check out the video on Karl Watson's camera choices. I know he's probably got a fortune invested in his equipment now but I'm sure he didn't start out that way. I think he had a little Sony Handy Cam, $400 range. I thought it did a great job but I don't think it's water proof. I know stabilization is super difficult packing all that gear and I can live with whatever you have. It's us older farts with not quite the vision we had is the problem. Everything you do is perfect in my book that's the hole journey. Have a great holiday Gabe, thanks

[@samirperez6838]
