One thing I love about the Arab nations is how well they have adapted to the modern world while at the same time harnessing their traditional attire
SLIPKNOT j ye
Not just the attire. We keep traditionsm. Some families traditions, some arab kids grow up with arabian horses. Some arabs like me are farmers and have camels and sheep. Some arabs grow up with falcons and know how to hunt using that. Some arabs grow up by the see and they learn how to dive. We never left our traditions, not by attite or tradition and culture but we still make sure to get our degrees and learn. This is why I know how to type in English and know basic sciences and pursue engineering.
As arabs we always say don't forget who was good to you, from parents to people and to the country that provided free education and health for us. So we mucy learn to give back to this blessed country.
@@mbreeze2203 it has a lot to do with your ability to keep Islam as it is in the Middle East without changing it with foreign religions and cultures.
Unfortunately as an Indian we haven’t been able to keep up our culture because of the invasions and rampant mix of foreign tradition and cultures in my country.
When I visited Dubai, especially the global village gave me an idea of how your culture is still preserved
@@slipknotj2581 In fact, my brother, we Arabs have a popular proverb that says: who has no past has no present or future. That is why we care very much about our heritage and our traditional clothes. We drive the most expensive cars, but until now we raise and love camels, and we can also wear the most expensive international brands, but we wear our traditional clothes like the sheikh in the video.
this only apply to the Gulf countries (UAE, SA,Kuwait...etc). Most of other Arab countries like Syria and Iraq are still believe that the only good thing in life is their traditions and their countries are the lowest of the low.
The guy drives himself around Dubai, with his 1 and only car, with the same license plate without any type of protection. ( Atleast any of I know of. ) Shows how secure Dubai is.
one only car but that number plate costs more than 10 of those
@@previas4764 hahaha
@@previas4764 the number plate is priceless, nobody from the general public would be able to have that number plate on their car
because ppl are scared to even criticize him
@@fatimaab7619 why would we criticize him? hes doing so many good things for our country
I liked this man right from the start...He can drive himself as well as do good stuff for his country ....Wish him good health...
Builder99 your opinion will change after watching that video made by his daughter.
@@jerryrawlings8885 you know nothing, its Islam rule
I am Muslim and got 3 sisters and Muslims do nothing like what this man does. We don’t lock women in cages, don’t torture them, don’t jail them so I don’t know what you are on about
Aab V yeah but that what does that have to do with his religion? Islam doesn’t tell us to lock women in cages😂 anyways I don’t like the man he’s just pure evil
An egotistical potentate. We don’t want this kind of self-centered leaders.
Wao, I never knew the Sheikh is this humble, simple and logic; that's what I call impressive leadership, he even owns a communication link specially dedicated to his people, wow!... Now, you try that in the western world, and see what happens next. I am very proud of the Sheikh, he has done really well for his people, to be very honest...
I find Arab dresses really fancy, Japan should have kept our traditional dress too
Khabib Nurmagomedov 2 really true
Freddy Pedraza true
@Khabib Nurmagomedov 2 The difference between Arabic and Japanese clothes is that the Arab is simpler an easy to clean.
the Arabic clothes have actually been modernized and are made of a softer Japanese cloth.
Easier to wear and live with on a daily basis. Kimonos arent
Interviews with the ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, are rare. But with Dubai hosting Expo 2020 and signs that its economy is rebounding strongly after the global financial crisis, he spoke exclusively to Jon Sopel and took him for a drive around Dubai. bbc.in/1hOCIYH
Pretty cool aritcle. This man has servious power!! Don't mess him
I appreciate him
I am really proud to be an Emarati. People like His Highness made us into very civilized and modern with their hard work and good planning.
Thanks for the share. Seems like a humble nice chap
A good politician is a good person who knows themselves better, even their powers
the best place i have ever been by far, i loved every minute there
May God Bless you Sheikh Mohammed
Sheikh Mohd is an awesome leader. A visionary who changed the map of the world and history forever. Created Dubai out of desert. Truly inspirational!!!

dont westerners know that dubai does not depend on oil (-_-)
It depends on oil quite a bit, but its been making a huge push towards other economic areas.
+Dustin The Ninja no it does not! in fact, its oil almost ran out. however, investment from oil-producing regions have an effect.
+Dustin The Ninja oil is only 5% on Dubai's income
+AG34r 66% of its exports
Dustin The Ninja Congrats officially Dubai is oil poor. Let's see what happens now. Probably more buildings lol.
I love dubai ! Like it is my home my life and sheikh mohammed is a very nice man
Amazing leader!!! Visionary and an amazing poet. Such a nice person, Dubai is blessed to have such a great leader.
i love you sir , God give you long life ,this is my wish God give us one like as you.
I have never seen any leader at such a high level driving his car ... all use chauffeurs and boast about it... this clearly indicates that he must be a very down to earth person :)
He's fucking lying I saw him once with 5 or more body guards and him sitting in the passenger seat
Souptik Ferdinand Gupta He is down to earth. And a great poet.
Lord Farquaad McMaster lol everyone who says that happens to be local or a 4ner whos never lived in dubai
alotic ragger I'm neither. I'm foreigner who lives in Dubai. ( 4ner? Really?)
There is always a pleasure in driving yourself no matter how many chauffeurs you have.
I just wish our leader are like him. God bless you sir.
You said you are not a good driver, but we say you are the best leader in the world.
Born Leader ! Leaders' Leader ! Worth Emulating ! Commanding Respect ! Humbly Royal ! Simply Royal ! Maashaa Allah !

الله يحفظك ويطول بعمرك شيخنا محمد رفعت رؤوسنا عند العالم كله ❤️
this guy is such an inspiration. my friend told me he was just an ordinary taxi driver in india and with his hard work and dedication he became the ruler. hats off to him.
Well, that's not true..
What? Hahahahahahahah noooo
Who told you that?
He is the son of the past ruler.
Bro what his name shown in video
lol why would he be a taxi driver in india? i lived in dubai when his dad was the ruler of dubai
+jxcess3891 taxi driver in india? lololol. your friend lied to you. He is from the royal family that has ruled Dubai since over 150 years ago.

والله العظيم أهل الإمارات وحكام الإمارات وشيوخ الإمارات تاج وألف تاج على راسي أنا أحييكم من العراق وأتمنى أخدم وافدي الإمارات بروحي ا
Emarati and Proud
Proud of what? What is accomplishment is done by being of a certain nationality? We should all stop this "I am proud to be of so and so country. It's ridiculous, with all due respect.
Mr.Ahmad Al-Haji UAE is a beautiful country. This is due to the intention of Sheikhs. They paid a lot to foreign workers and developed UAE.
M.ABRAHAM LINGAN What about the labour workers from poor villages in South Asian countried who physically built the entire country and are part of a lot of major industries? The ones who faced harsh labour conditions and abuse?
Grow up people and travel the world to know what is right from wrong. I am not interested in arguing or even discussing anything with anyone on this page.
***** I've lived and worked in the Middle East for several years; I made my money and I left. It is people like myself who made evrything possible from running businesses and corporate planning; to designing buildings and running the economy- the Gulf countries would be nothing without the Asians, Americans and Europeans- keep that in mind.
As for the 'abuse' there is plenty of it especially toward hardworking migrant workers from South Asian countries; don't pretend like you know nothing of it. This isn't a 'reality' and is far from any sense of morality. We are talking about modern Islamic states in the 21st century; what do you think of it? Where are the Islamic values being instilled in the minds of Muslims today? Talk about fairness and respect you people have none of it.
This person is amazing I'm his biggest fan😭
For the amazing country they have become, whatever problems he may have, my full respect to the Sheikh.
we UAE residents live by peace and harmony codes because of such sheiks
we are not from the UAE
however we feel lucky to live in such place
where people treat each other with respect
what car you got mercedes amg?
Wonderful leader! Just love how humble he is driving around all by himself!
yeah but there are maybe 4 cars infront of him 3 to his left 3 to his right 4 from his back cause he is the city leader aint no way they just gon let him drive all by himself

I love how he is down to earth! great person with a great vision!
so grateful i am from UAE
love from india to HH and all nation!
Mr. Maktoum where is your seat belt !?
He doesn’t need seat belt, the seatbelt needs him
its his own road no one can tell him anything
he is one of the best ... he listen to his people and do what they need
huge chunk of respect and admire from me as Saudi Cetizen to his highness Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid. I wish more leaders like him exist in my country Saudi Arabia
Hats off to HH, he is soo humble. He has seen his dream come true and guided this place called Dubai to what it is today....it has taken centuries to make NY, London, Paris, Singpore,Tokyo, Hong Kong, Moscow, Delhi, Cairo, Rio, LA and others...still not to what this young city is today....better respect this herculean task, money many do have, but not the will to spend on cause as this....
That’s why his country changed from a desert to an advanced one, it has such a great and humble leader!
Respect and love to you
Great man..............love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
الله يحفظك
What a Visionary Leader!, I am one of his greatest fan! He is not only a ruler of UAE.He wins hearts.
Masha Allah may Allah bless him for long live and love you sheikh
الله يحفظكم يا الأماراتين .من العراقي المتغرب في فنلندا
if all leader could be like him and work like him the world would be better
Imagine common man suddenly coming in his way and yelling at him in front of bbc guy 😂
RESPECT !
Great Man with True Simplicity
Respect from Libya
Such a great man
Thank you for supporting our great revolution.
Hope to see Libya one day become a strong industrial economy like UAE.
How's the revolution going?? Was it not better under Ghadafi? Just curious.
MindEff It may have been more secure during the times of the past regime, but political chaos is to be expected after any revolution. France had 10 years of chaos and bloodshed after their revolution in 1789. The US had a civil war after their independence. India, USSR.....many more examples.
Democracy has a learning curve that can only be learned the hard way.
Taher Assaid Yes, Iran also comes to mind. If what they have now can be called democracy. I tend to favor the devil I know!
Taher Assaid u people fucked urself with the urge for democracy in the way manipulated by the west. gaddafi was an autocrat but he bloody took care of his subjects with the oil money. Now, Libya is in mess because the so called democrats were the mere puppets of the west. Libyan people have the right for democracy but it should come in their own terms, and not just forced by Nato bombardments. Once you give the foreigners the right to mess with ur country, they will mess you forever. At least, Assad is smart enough to know this.
I really respect the man, he is the one leader in my opinion who actually gives something back to its community! and the laws here whatever you want to call them actually help you and the country! I did not plan anything before coming to Dubai, just a better job, but now I really want my family to come see (in future probably live at) this place! its just amazing!
wish you all the best
He loves his G-Wagen
Amazing leader.. There is a lot we can learn from this man.
I really like this man n his good vision
he is more humble as you can see ,i saw him visiting places in dubai, alone. and never hesitates to indulge or be neared by anyone who wants his presence, a great leader in deed, a man with a big heart , not only to his people but to all living there in dubai. god bless sheikh rashid .

The UAE has the best leaders in the world! I say this without a doubt. I envy them.
Have you seen how they treat the migrant workers?
@@chitti1120 migrant workers get treated badly by their own people. our government has put rules but organizations don't follow them, so you can't blame the leaders or the government for that. migrants are luring other migrants who are poor with fake job offers and force them to work. that's not the government fault.
@@balderswag government needs to tackle this issue and I don't think they will do it because without exploitation these countries wouldn't be that attractive and successful. For rich places and people to exist, someone needs to suffer first. We have seen this throughout history. History is repeating again. lucky for them, the majority of people don't know such exploitation therefore no one will speak out and those rich guys will get richer and exploitation will continue.
@@Al_Man9oori why? Scared if this is exposed and gives ur filthy country a bad name? Good! That's what I want. People need to know the truth.
czcams.com/video/gMh-vlQwrmU/video.html watch and learn the truth
I live in Dubai and I've been to some great places like the Atlantis and the Burj al Arab
I love this country!!!!!!!!!!!
+Blair Willow do u still live there? how is the standard of living there? minimal wage? I start to get bored in the UK and I'm looking fora new start/ adventure.
Excellent I respect you
My fav..god bless him..i love tht he is our ruler. M not emirati..but i hv been born n brought here..so its kind if my mother land..
O Come on people, Though I am not a Khaleeji man, still I respect this man for what he is doing for his country, I can see that what ever good that Arabs do, still there will be some people to write some nasty things about them.. Give us a break and do give some good comments where they should be given instead of all that SHIIIIT you write in here. I think he is much much better than many rulers especially from the Eastern countries that gave his own people a better living standard than many others who only cares in promoting their own families to the wealth and has forgotten all about the country people.
He is doing a Unique job and must be appreciated for his work towards his people.. May the Holly Allah bless and rewards him for his doings.
As long as one family rules, he is no different than other tyrants. Just having wealth around does not mean people are O.K. look at the destiny of Mubarak,Qadafi, Shah,...same destiny is waiting for Saud family, Bahrain ruler,...
Sandy b Except monarchy countries in the middle east are the only countries that have not been affected by the arab springs, and most successful.... Including jordan ofc.
Sandy b no difference with Queen of 16 countries eeh
But the only difference is the Queen is driving in pompous golden Carriage but this guy drives himself
No my dear Sandy, this man is trying his level best to serve his country in the best manners. As long as he is continuing his behavior towards his country and the people there, then there is nothing to be frightened of. I am not a Khaleeji but the truth must come out, he is a good man for his country and the people who share his country with him.
By the way, I love your name, it brings back to me some good old memories of my beloved country Aden.
Best leader in the middle east and that is why Dubai is the way its today respect to you Sir.
I love Dubai
In the old days, citizens and residents had access to their Rulers in their Majlis, With expansion and growth, It continues with the social network media. That is one tradition that lives on with a twist.
We still have access to our rulers... I can very easily go to Sheikh Mohammed's Majlis to talk about anything and Twitter is just an expansion to that, not a replacement. Tradition remains.
pjdsa Hopefully, online access, still possible for genuine grievances to everyone.
pjdsa Perhaps the next generation will not see the need to interact with their residents.
pjdsa That's an unfair assessment specially in the Emirates.
I Wonder do the slaves of dubai get a chance to talk to him who built this artificial country?
