$1,200 Luxury Villa in the Desert 🇦🇪

- Where better to escape to in these perilous times than somewhere remote? I see that the big travel vloggers like Kate and Nate are all living in RVs or camping in tents.
My accommodation in the UAE's desert was something like a tent. Well the roof was like a tent anyway.
The Ritz-Carlton Al Wadi dessert is the most I've ever spent on a hotel room. Well, not a hotel room but a detached and secluded luxury tented villa with a private swimming pool. Such things don't come cheaply in the United Arab Emirates but I was celebrating a very special occasions and such things are worth spending a little extra on.
Being in the middle of the desert there were the typical desert animals roaming around. Mostly camels and oryx. I got on a lot better with the camels than the oryx as you'll see in the video.
Again, I was smart to bring my own mini bar supplies. It seems that all the hotels in the UAE have removed their mini bar items as part of the current 'rona restrictions to reduce the number of contact points. Okay, the real reason was that I didn't want to pay 10 times the price for my Coke Zero but the previous point is still valid.
I really enjoyed the private swimming pool in the villa more than anything else. I had complete privacy and was able to reenact my experience at the nudist hot springs in Sumatra (after the camera was turned off!) The water wasn't quite as hot as the hot springs but the pool was temperature controlled so that it stayed at a constant 29 degrees C.
Unfortunately the pool has a huge metal handrail that really gets in the way of swimming. If there were one thing I could change in the hotel it would be to get rid of that. There were other things I wasn't too happy about such as huge stains on the carpets and chairs and a wooden floor that was all scratched - you expect better than that in this standard of hotel. In fact at that price you expect everything to be perfect.
The hotel is actually a resort and there's loads of desert activities that you can do there. Being the middle of summer it was just too bloody hot though. The only thing I did was go play with a hawk for 5 minutes and then came back to my villa with a t-shirt that was soaked through with sweat.
So was the villa worth the money? Of course not. How can any accommodation be worth that amount? But for a special occasion I was happy for the luxury experience.

Asprey...most appropriate shower gel!
Those Oryx horns look sharp!

Feeding the cat is a good act I gave the video a like as soon as I seen your kindness to Gods creation Good job mashAllah
that cat would come home with me. soo fkg cute
Just wanted to say how much our family enjoys your videos. We all sit together, get our dinners, and settle down for Dale. Beats Netflix! We like how you're so open to everyone, not letting a few bad apples poison your attitude to a place. And you're very funny without making a show of it. Just being yourself. Keep it up, we appreciate the work you do!
Thanks Troy!
Wow...
You said it with the right words. Dale is probably the funniest person without ever trying to be funny. His videos are pure gem. Love you Dale.
@@Dale_PhilipYour videos are too cool
Hey Dale. I'm sorry if this sounds a bit flowery, but ever since I've been introduced to your channel its really meant a lot to me. It helps me with stress, and I'm a large fan of your vids. Thank you.
Cool bro, thanks for watching.

Thank you..
When you were checking in....."I got attacked by a oryx"....I dont think the receptionist heard or understood, lol. Ace Ventura in the desert!
Khalid J That ‘oryx’ was just a staff member dressed up. Ditto the camels. It’s like Disneyland.
Dale's videos never feel lengthy . The only channel in CZcams where I feel this
Ya man's strong legs helped fend off that bloody Oryx.
You are quality mate. Lol
Sorry I laughed at the Oryx part 😬🤪
Naughty Oryx 😂
come to uae he will come closer to you
Dale : we dont like fancy stuff
Also Dale : living in one of the luxury resort in the world😂😂
😂
That fall over killed me 😂😂😂
Hahah that oryx. What a way to check in.
2:09 It was at this moment that he knew...he f$cked up.
Lmfao
That was a close one with that wild Oryx Dale 😱 Absolute class act feeding that cat. Stay safe mate :)
A 46 minute video from my favorite Scotsman on a boring Thursday afternoon? Is this a dream?
Happy Anniversary, Dale. Thank you for taking us on your journeys. I am thoroughly enjoying your travels. Love from Arizona.
Anyone else just randomly liking comments just for CZcams algorithm get this handsome man to the top?👍🏻😂
I'm so frustrated that my man's out here single. LADIES, YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF A GEM.
He's single 100% by choice because I've put in my application and it got sent beck🤣
@@jinx724 lmao 🤣🤣🤣
@@jinx724 I would send it back too ngl
@@j75dutch64 I would never submit it for you 🤢 problem solved
@@jinx724 look at you 🤢🤮
As a UAE citizen I love this accent 🥰🥰💕 glad you enjoyed our nature 🤣🤣
Camels are friendy. Their like giant dogs. Very intelligent creatures.
It was very kind of you to share a bit of your meal with that poor cat. It was heart-breaking to see how it was crying non stop. It was probably very thirsty too and the chlorinated pool water was surely repelling.
Oryx attack was unexpected really, and that was a scary and fun element in this vlog.
you're enjoying your solitude every introvert wishes for. For now, I can only live through you
Thank you for feeding the poor kitty. It made me happy to see that.
I don't know how 45 minutes passed within 10-15 minutes 😅.....Other vloggers will make 3-4 videos of each 30 minutes lengthy & Dale only one 45 minutes that's the beauty of this channel. Always real contents 🌝
BRO DID YOU JUST GET ATTACKED BY AN ORYX? Your very brave, if that thing even just walked towards me, I would have passed out insta. Great resort btw
An experience that I will never forget
2:06 that charge was close, think falling down actually saved your ass from getting hit mate haha
Those Oryx horns look sharp!
👍👍👍
Hhhhh yeah
"My old granny had a old big pouf in the living room"
😂😭
I am so impress when you give the food for cat, it's touching, and speaking about bali, we hope that it will reopening soon to foreign tourists, now so many tourists stuck in bali, and they're happy with that, they said that they're stuck in paradise😀
Not a nice welcome to be attacked by an angry oryx at such an expensive hotel. Lucky you didnt get badly hurt, really long horns. But it turned out to be a fun video.
Thats why you don’t invade his private space like a moron, I guess you’re right tho that the hotel should know there’s people like this and then complain🤔
I love how friendly Dale is with everyone
Wonderful video. Typing that before even watching the video completely, knowing 100% that content was,is and will be great forever. That's the confidence that we have on our man Dale!!!👌👍
Such faith! 😁👍
💯
@@Dale_Philip - Great content. 💯 true ..
Yes!!!
Agreed, I always like it before I watch so I don't forget lol he's always got great content. I found Dale back in April and since then I've watched all his vlogs. My favorite CZcamsr
1:58 I am laughing out loudly , my mom is asking 'what happened'? 😂😂😂😂
That oryx accident had me laughing
6:16 ok mind a story time Dale?🤣
YESSSSS
Nothing better than a break up party and enjoying alone
you broke up with the girl from tinder
its just me myself and I, the perfect 3 some
No-one talking about the fact he almost just died by being impaled by an onyx 👁👄👁
You won my heart feeding the hungry cat. Cheers to you mate. I hope your videos do well and you prosper.
12:13 that's the reason why most hotel refridgerators are busted😂
Looks like its so hot in the desert he decided to open the fridge to cool the room while vlogging🤔
I love how he writes "saying hi to the camels" in his timestamps
You are the best vlogger , you dont put unnecessary music and hundred of unnecessary effects like other so called vloggers, you are great !!!!
Is it just me or was eveyone else cringing at the fridge door being left open for do king??!! 😂😂 shut the door Dale ! 😂
Every man should be blessed with life like this!
You are having a lot of fun there. Just continue that throughout your life🙏.
You are so good at what you do, you make 1 hr videos still am not bored! Great job ! Exploring the world
Gotta love you for what you are doing for your followers ♥️♥️♥️♥️
U.A.E is an Amazing country and that villa is BEAUTIFUL
I love walkers brand, but the one with ginger. Soo good dipped in coffee.
Your vlogs somehow makes my mind relax and forget the problems in my life and depression. Thank you Dale for your wonderful adventures vlogs. I wish I could be your friend.
Lots of love from India
Such a peaceful and relaxing place it is and beautiful too..
Thank you so much for feeding the cat 💖💓💓
Dale, I love your videos. I love learning new things and having new experiences even if only vicariously through you. Camels are domesticated, Oryx not. A plastic toilet seat is cheap no matter where you find it - not enough support. There is beauty in all the different regions of the world. I shouldn't complain about the weather here in Cincinnati when it is in lower 80's and high humidity - it could always be worse. You make me laugh out loud at certain points, Thanks for all this. You are my kind of human being.
Your very kind hearted Dale for feeding the cat.
This vlog is really cool.The luxury in there is really nice.I want to travel soon. Thanks for this and be safe always.♥️
Coronavirus ain't stopping Dale Phillip!
But an Oryx might
Ain’t stopping nobody, unless you have no self discernment.
Coronavirus is a joke
And his 2 strong legs
@@aarongarcia4381 - That it is, a bad joke on us little people of the world.
Another super engaging video. The Oryx might heard you saying " Bloody Oryx" .......& happy anniversary Dale. Enjoy!
Just discovered these videos and now completely bingeing 😅😅 love them!
Dale - we don't like fancy stuff
*also Dale showing his luxury room ...
hahaha
I like and respect this channel as it seems like the money Dale is making on CZcams he throws it right back on making great content for us all! Great job! Enjoy life Dale 👍
Dale, your videos are a stress buster! Feels like we are experiencing all the places ourselves. Keep the amazing work up! I keep searching for the new video everyday 😅 Looking forward to more
2:08 An arabian Oryx just chilling in the garden 🤣
Priceless ...
Dale's vlogs are excellent. Never get tired of watching them
You keep going above and beyond young man! Thank you for another outstanding and entertaining video! Many thanks for not cutting out any of the bloopers. I've always enjoyed watching you spill food during your adventures ... it's a highlight for me. But being threatened by the oryx, earned you an Academy Award nomination! Not only did you prove that you have two strong legs to run backwards, but also a padded Scottish bum to absorb the impact! I would be willing to bet that 90% male viewing audience you mentioned, will select you for the award! Stay safe and healthy.
I am happy that I discovered your channel recently....So I have many more videos to binge on ;)
Great vid Dale, lovely room you had there Mr Scotsman, food looked fab too, made me hungry watching that vlog, have a great trip. 👍
Its not much but want to say thank you for your content. I most enjoy watching it, you have a gift!
Cheers bro! 😎👍
Wow you’re really enjoying yourself in these dubai vlogs :o
And you do make some nice vlogs cause most people always explore like new york that has like 1000+ vlogging videos already and you chat with the locals and show a lot of the experience
Totally underrated youtuber mate no long and you'll be up there with the greats, look forward to seein you succeed!
Been there for 3 nights. From saturday till Tuesday. Love the experienced...
touch of kindness feeding the cat good job scotman feel good factor the words i like in your vlogs bloody,yumyum,fantastic,smashed it /with the rate they charge they need to take care little things to make it worth it
Great vlog as always Dale! Been watching your vlogs during quarantine. The part where the oryx charged at you was totally something I didn't expect and made me laugh (sorry about that 😁 You weren't injured thankfully).
You cant make things like that up.... Then when he was on the ground the Oryx was looking all sad at what he did.... 🏃♂🏃♂🏃♂🏃♂
Hi dale am from India and you are the only foreigner traveler whose videos are so amazing and i just always eagerly wait for your travel videos to watch :) Enjoy and Live your life to the fullest bro ;)
Just found your channel but no matter what else you do these were all amazing experiences you will hold for life. Living your best 1
Thank you for feeding that cat I am happy it decided to eat too
I've watched all your videos and they get better and better over time. In these latest ones you seem very happy. Great camera work, much better than other vloggers. Always looking forward to seeing your vids. Keep having fun, enjoying life and sharing your joy.
Thank you very much!
16:22 "99% Men saw that video, never again" 😂😂😂
We just love your videos,we keep watching it over and over again.
Have to love UAE for pure luxury and absolute decadence 👍😀....great video mate!
DALE.." It's the simple things in life that make you happy" ....meanwhile Dale is staying in a $1200 Per night luxury hotel, sipping on Kombutcha, eating fancy dates and shortbread shaped like camel's in the middle of the desert in the UAE. 😂😂😂 So simple Dale 😉🤣
Judging by his facial expressions and panning of the camera around the room when he said that, I'm pretty sure it was a joke
I am the guy who said come to Qatar but I can’t stop watching all ur vids
Dale I think you enjoyed a lot with an private swimming pool and the villa waiting for your next video dale❤️
You had the best moments in your life in that hotel. So beautiful place! Love it!!
Oh you've changed your wee profile picture. Very nice one
HEYYYYYYYY ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEO😃😃😃😃😃😃
"""""""LET THE ROAD OF THIS TRIP COVER THE WHOLE WORLD"""""
🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Wow, what an opener with the oryx charging you! I'm so glad you're OK.
Thanks Amanda.
I don't usually watch travel vlogs. But since I started watching ur videos, can't stop. I ❤ watching you.
Dale is low-key the funniest vlogger out there 😂
Its always a delight to watch your vlogs, dale :)
Dale you are a true inspiration on we don't need anyone else to be with us to stay happy. Solo is stress-free innit mate!
Wow! Amazing and beautiful desert! Beware of the Oryx :)
What a great house in the middle of the desert where hardly anyone is! It really is freedom on Earth! :) and yes, simple things are wonderful! The part of the video that you swam with the desert background is wonderful! and, slow reading is the best! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😊 Enjoy your adventure! 😊
Simple things ? ....
Don't be sad dale u're not single
U got that two strong legs with ya
I really like the tent personally. At least it is not like those traditional hotel rooms with over 80% concrete walls. The pool in your room is just unbelievably awesome! You should be loving it! :)
1200 £??? You must be kidding ???....
@@michaelahass2695hey if you got the money why not
Im enjoying your videos so much…good looking Dale with kind hearted…my hearts melted for what you’ve done to that cat…salute❤from Sarawak, Malaysia❤️
Now you’re talking, Amazing Dale hopefully you can post more videos around the deserts
I was waiting for your review of the fries. lol
It's too bad that the meal didn't add up to the poshness of the hotel. Your review was spot on and honest. Hope to see more in the near future. Have fun!
Such a wonderful channel. Love watching your videos, Dale. So much humour and fun content. Bloody brilliant. However, spending $1200 only to be welcomed by a charging oryx is another experience 😂😂
I like desserts. If you love desserts, there are some beautiful ones in America and Australia going cheap.
Enjoyed that. With you on the comments about stained carpets and furniture. Also learned its a bad idea to walk up to an Oryx 😁👍
