Nice words thank you very much and agree with you on that. Its impressive how far people can travel by land, how everything works and how things around you are changing. Welcome to our channel.
I have been to 154 countries and territories in 45 years of travel,most by air but your video has gave me the push I need to travel more,thank you for the inspiration
Wow you got a lot! And thank you very much. Thats good to hear. Just wait for new videos. There will be a lot of interesting countries, which you maybe already visit actually.
There few people who have a true passion for travel,I just love it,it all started for me my 1st time outside Europe to Istanbul to watch turkey v England in 1984 football,I was back in Istanbul in December 2024 and I had the same excitement,some streets had not changed,street traders selling fish sandwiches at 22.30 ,I happen to also be a street trader,thank you again for your videos,I live in Bangkok and next month I will visit a friend in Bali visit 2 cousins in wellington New Zealand on to the Cook Islands and then Australia for dinner with a Peruvian couple that I meet on pilgrimage to Bethlehem in 2022,I sometimes forget how good my life is
You are welcome. Yes its really great sometimes to return to some places, we werevin istanbul like 10 times and always excited to be there. Some places when you were so many times can feel like “home” already. Your plans sound very good too! Enjoy them all
The best way to travel! And from the Price its for everyone affordable (excluding Accommodation costs) and more valuable: you see more from the Landscape. Thats what you dont get with Planes!
Thats great! By train after ankara you can actually get only till tatvan or kars. Then only bus at the moment. But definately go further its a great adventure👌
It's quite an interesting video. This is an outstanding video! Your efforts in providing accurate and reliable information are highly commendable. The video is perfectly organized, and your detailed explanations are exceptionally comprehensive. Wishing you all the best in reaching 1 million followers soon..
For sure do it. Its a great trip. Big difference between uae and iran. We have many videos from iran on our channel, you can check if you need some info
@Letsgobyland I understood bits and pieces of the post by Alexei Maksimov, who no doubt wrote the post in Russian. Although by the early-2010s I’d taught myself to transliterate that language’s alphabet, understanding others has been hard. That said, I admire the sound of Russian, with Canada, the country in which I have always lived, having one of the largest Russian-speaking communities in the world outside the former Soviet Union.

That's a loooong but interesting trip.I think that the longest I've done by land and sea was Istanbul (Asian side)to Middlesbrough in northern England.I used trains,ferries,buses and foot.
Thanks for your efforts and for recording it. I am going to watch again in more detail. I think you LIKE busses, and multiple busses. There are (or were when I lived there) express busses from major cities, such as Shiraz to Tehran etc. Also, if I had been planning this I think (only think?) that I would have looked at crossing Saudi Arabia, going to Alexandria and taking a boat to Piraeus - it might be a better journey. I cannot say that definitively as I have not done it, but it would be worth reviewing.
Thank you also, and you are welcome. Well trains are better bzt they were fully booked so we used buses. We wanted to stop on the way at some places to explore more, so thats why we didnt take express buses. Good idea about piraeus. Will look at it!
We took high spee train in turkey when we were going to dubai from amsterdam, we have video about that journey on our channel. From dubai to vienna we wanted to take a different route
I like the idea of traveling by land even if it takes a little longer. Yet until there are trains that travel underneath more of the world’s oceans and gulfs, air travel may very well be the most practical way of jumping between continents that unlike nearby parts as well connected by train, road or boat.
@ Before having viewed that video of yours I hadn’t known there had been ferries linking the UAE to Iran. get after that they’re no doubt our links overland between Iran and the European Union that don’t involve travelling through Russia. I grew up with the 1980s in Canada during an era of a massive Iron Curtain between countries in Western Europe and those further east. After the 1990s breakup of the Soviet Union, followed by that of Yugoslavia, links by road and rail made overland travel into many other parts of Europe easier. That said, who would’ve thought that, pandemic aside, travelling overland between Belarus and the EU would in 2021 become a lot harder, followed by overland travel from Russia? Although the Yugoslav wars had long ended, making travel throughout much of the Balkans a lot easier, Ukraine isn’t that far from parts of the Balkans, with Romania bordering Ukraine in the northeast and southeast. Hopefully travel through the Balkans to the EU will continue to go smoothly, even with all the issues so many within the Balkans still have, because as the Russo-Ukraine war has shown, land links can be severed for years. Who knows if travel by bus, airplane or train will resume normally anytime soon between the Belarus-Russia Union State (BRUS) and EU countries that border such Union State? It might not have been from the 1990s to January 2022 necessarily a breeze to cross from Belarus or Russia to any EU member state bordering either former Soviet republic, but things have become a lot harder since then including bans on some types of vehicles registered within the BRUS from crossing into the EU and trains that if operated by the Russian or Belarusian state railway company are now banned from entering the EU to pick up or drop off passengers there.
@ yes. You are right. Hope some things get better and improve. Also when we travel to russis we had to go through estonia which is only eu country allow to enter russia. About iran to dubai ferry yes many people dont know about it. Its not very populat tourist direction. We did 4 ferry journeys between iran and dubai and saw in total 1 group of chinesse tourist.
You can check separate videos from almost each journey. Or on our second channel we will soon publish videos from destination we visit😉 /@realsoundsoftravel is our second channel
You beat me! I felt the same seeing the day # with no information of the whereabouts 😢 . I has been desire to travel through this region. I thought i could do it vicariously through this travel vlog. IMO, the vloger killed the joy of this wonderful journey going through different kinds of terrain, countries, and people. Request you redo the vlog with more travel info, starting from Sharjah all the way to Vienna.
A really interesting video. But I wouldn’t like to do the journey in 20 days, I would miss a lot of the scenery sleeping I would be so tired. Taken at a leisurely pace, fantastic but at higher cost, and cheaper to fly.
The only reason was we went through turkey before when we went to dubai from amsterdam. So wanted to explore different countries on the way back. We have video on our channel also from amsterdam to dubai via turkey.
Helooo from California, such a beautiful film long journey,Train from Armenia 🇦🇲 to Georgia is the best , I take that many time to go to Black Sea ,thanks for amazing experience you shearing for your travel channel,
We are a couple, so me and my girlfriend. The only thing was on the dubai-iran border is a female department and department for men, thats it. We could travel in a mixed compartments etc…
Trains in iran were fully booked. Some routes only bus possible and for example to go kars from georgia is a bit complicated so easier to go by bus straight. When we went from amsterdam to dubai by land we used train ankra to tatvan. You can check video on our channel too. So thats why…but train ankara to kars is on our list and we will do it soon
13:26 this says”welcome Mehdi” who according to their beliefs is the companion of Christ in his decent to earth. Mehdi should be landing in Iran according to them.
You are welcome. We choose bus because when you go from Georgia to Turkey there is no train connection near by. So its easier to take a bus. From Ankara we could take a train to Istanbul but we decided to basicaly cross whole turkey by bus. Just for fun. We used trains in turkey in opossite direction on our journey Amsterdam to Dubai. If you want to see trains in turkey we have videos on our chennel too.

so you would spend 10 times more and take so long when with 300 € you can fly one way to Dubai from Vienna? Do you know the basics of economics?
