Traveling the Middle East: Dubai to Abu Dhabi (UAE)
This man deserves more likes
you too
I see what you were saying about the camera now Gabe, but video still came out well. Looking forward to Oman. Peace!
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. :)
Thanks Alex, have an epic 2018 as well.
Merry Christmas Gabe !!
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.
For me. It’s like Las Vegas mate. Can’t wait for you to leave.
Las Vegas is soooo different from any city in the UAE lol. Dubai is kinda like South Florida.
You're always so grounded wherever you travel, Gabe. You never seem to lose your calm.
Lots of stunning buildings there!
The food you ate looks appetizing.
The camera is working well.
Nice room you got.
Merry Christmas Gabe! THANKS for the amazing video's, look forward to next year's line up
Pretty swanky room for a budget traveler, but you deserve it 😜
Yay great another awesome video can’t wait to see it I love your videos Gabe keep them coming 👍🏻👌🏼🙂
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
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!
Gabriel you are awesome.We want to see you in Moscow :).
Gabriel Traveler if u need a editor for you'r videos, hook me up!
Long live Abu Dhabi
Merry Christmas to you Gabe!
Thanks a lot and Merry Christmas in return.
I luv the sound of the call to prayer! Caught up with u!
There is a Hostel in Dubai Marina Area which is ATtheTop Bed & Breakfast for 126aed a night with Palm atlantis sea view...
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.
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.
Gabriel Traveler
I hope you come soon again :)

realy love to travel around the world now im here at qatar so my next destination is other country
you are doing a fine job, good audio, glad to see you 8n a nice hotel.
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!
I wanna see you travelling to africa
$58 for a nice room, scrumptious meal and warm weather to boot. Not too shabby mon ami.
Visit Bahrain also....
Oman is beautiful you will enjoy it! Go to Jordan (Petra)! You'll love it.
Hi Gabe, nice to know you came here in Abu Dhabi ! Enjoy 😊 more power to you!
Hey Gabriel, I don't like your new camera. It's too shaky! It makes me nauseas.
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!
I hope you plan on doing a unboxing and/or review of the new camera...
If I get the chance to do a review yes. Not unboxing since I no longer have the box, lol.
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! :)
Another good looking hotel for cheap.
Awesome video! So wonderful to see this country!
How come you travel alot Gabriel... What do you do for a living, where does the money come from...?☺
I make a living from youtube. :) Here's a video that explains more:
ruclips.net/video/D5joCrtdLWs/видео.html
Was there a toilet on the bus? Or, can you ask the driver to make a "pit stop"?
I forget if there was a toilet on that particular bus. Sometimes there is and sometimes there isn't. Have you seen this video?
ruclips.net/video/YBp2b8vKSGM/видео.html
Thank you again for another great video. You paint a pretty picture every where you go.
Nice balcony.....:-)
Great for a relaxing conversation.
Are you in UAE now? Would love to meet!
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
Excellent, thanks for the tips, I'll write them down.
anytime feel free to ask
Great channel! Keep up the good vibes :)
Sir Iam in Abudhabi. .. how can I see you? ?
it's PERSIAN GOLF for ever.arabian peopol can't change a fact.if you have enogh education you can discover it. it is easy to express but thinking is hard.choice is very easy. i just ask one question: how long your country existe? don't foget someday Your country was ours.bahrain is the last part of iran which separated from iran 40 years ago.
It's little Shaky like making vedio on Mobile, Amazing bus ride 👌
Who in their right mind who go there. It is not safe. They can arrest you and torture you and you have no rights. If they even find medicine on you that is legal in your country but banned in theirs they will jail you as a drug trafficker. The prisons are full of people being tortured. It's madness.
Very nice thanks from Bangladesh
Btw that intro music isnt uae (: so.
As a American i have notice that you cant refill in restaurants except hardeez plus the cola and Pepsi tastes lot different than the american version
I was in Abu Dhabi last Friday.
How do you get from Italy to Dubai by boat? Through the Suez canal? 🤔
no maybe he took a plane from italy to dubai
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.
I agree. Looking forward to Oman, I think it will be more interesting.
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
Do they speak Arabic?
Yes you guys are right, Morocco isn't middle east at all or Arab ethnically, but they do speak Arabic.
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.
Where do you buy your bus tickets , online or at the bus terminals ?
a lot of jelling in the beginning, the plan ... go to abu dhabi
Bro booking. Co is expensive hack find other ways to get budget traveling
I can't imagine how bad those cities stink.
Welcome to. India kerala. My frened
I live in Abu Dhabi
Arabian gulf :(
Its the Persian Gulf but ok
Great video regardless, keep it up :)
On Google maps it says Arabian gulf. I guess it depends who you ask.
Arabian Gulf is used by most of people it is because there are 7 Arab countries on it but 1 Persian country on it.
عُـمَــر آل بــَـدَوي you must be hanging around a lot of arabs then because most people ive spoken to call the the persian gulf. It is also internationally recognized as the persian gulf. Also Persia has a huge coastline with the gulf so while there is only one persian country, it not like the have a tiny coast line with it like most arab countries do.

But Arabs have more control over it.

I’m Arab myself and Emirati
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
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.
You must be met tons of Russians there :)
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.
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. ☺
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.
6:45 - ""problem is my cell ph svc is not working here"" thats not a problem, download the region using offline maps of google on wifi in advance!?!
Sorry, but I liked the old cameras way better. You asked... thanks. You would have thought Santa would have been a little nicer. MB
Which old cameras? You mean the GoPro?
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
great man
I guess they call the Persian gulf the Arabian gulf there huh? Kind of like in Korea they call the sea of Japan the East Sea 😊
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.
Awesome 👏 😎
Hello sir,when are you going to visit China?thank you
Ken Yup: We want to see the real china (outside of the big cities), hopefully gabe will make it there someday!!
Deepak
That's fine hope he will be there
Hopefully he can compare the rural areas with China and India if he decides to visit rural area of China
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. :)
Thanks, Gabriel. Wishing you a Happy New Year and safe travels in 2018.
After seeing the buildings it's good you are in Abudabi from your Sony .cam
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
With 124 subs makes big difference for your traveling
nice
Merry Christmas!
Go to Syria next. I can guarantee that would be memorable n adventurous 😂
M G man if it was only 10 years ago maybe
Which city did you like more ?
I'd say Dubai is more interesting.
Wow, less expensive that I personally thought...
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!
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.
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!!
Awesome, glad to hear it Kristina. No, I'm not using an external microphone. Merry Christmas and a happy 2018!
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.
Excellent, thanks, I'll check it out.
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.
Planning to go there tomorrow.
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!
Dessert haze. Never seen this. Cool video 😊
The video quality is good .nice video gud luck to you
How you get a bus ticket?
I got the bus ticket near where I was standing when I started the video, there's an office nearby.
What is name of your hotel ?
It was called Hawthorn Suites.
What a beautiful room for 50 dollars a night!
Awesome video..Merry Christmas Gabe !!
The video quality is awesome but I do agree it is a bit shaky
What is your cell phone company, Gabriel, please and why do you think you did not have any service in Abu Dhabi? Man, that was inconvenient, wasn't it?
I use T-Mobile which has great international coverage, but it doesn't work in all countries. It just depends on their business dealings with certain countries I guess. Not sure exactly the reason.
Got it! It surely must be terribly frustrating to land somewhere and then find out ... YIKES, I have no cell phone service!
It's not too big of a problem for me actually. I got my first smartphone two years ago, so I'm used to traveling without one. The main thing is finding places without having google maps, but then I just write down the directions to my hotel in advance. But still, having the phone service is definitely better.
Yes, there are always work-arounds. I actually MISS the old days of no social media and "smart" phones. I actually still own my old flip (3G) cell phone, and use it so little that I can't conceive of wasting $40 month just to own a phone.
@Gabriel Isn't that Ghubaiba Bus station at 0:40?
I live nearby. I missed the chance to meet you I guess. Damn it!
Yep, you got it. My hotel was just a few blocks away from there.
Oh and merry Xmas dude!
And how much ?
4:33 bus ticket was 25 dirham or $7.
Eid Milad Saeid to all and to all a good night!
So many sports cars on the streets😍😍😍
Hey Gabriel :) Are you doing something special for Christmas for yourself while traveling or is it just like a normal other day? I mean how is it beeing on the road during those kinda days?
Wish you happy Christmas :)
Nothing special, just another day traveling. I'll be here in Abu Dhabi.
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!
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.
These buses are made by Mercedes
This is going to be a epic trip👍👍
