We are now in the End game. Our last set of "Triplets" the UNITED COUNTRIES. Starting with the UAE!! They're United. They're Arab. And They're Emirates. You've probably heard of this place but what do you REALLLY know about it outside of Dubai? ENJOY!!!
Yesssss
First
Nice

Im a native Emirati thank you so much for this episode
These last episodes are making me a little sad, the legendary series that brought me into geography is nearing its End
Love your videos
The worst geography channel commenting on the best geography channel, who would’ve thought

@@bababababababa6124 Are you joking? Happy Earth is epic
Woo I am so early Happy earth
please make video about Ireland vs UK
Brownie points for saying that UAE is not only about Abu Dhabi and Dubai. There are lots of hidden gems in other Emirates. Sharjah is the cultural capital of UAE. If you want anything authentic Emirati, Sharjah is the place to visit. Excellent beaches - RAK and Fujairah. Ajman for excellent nightlife. Umm Al Quwain, if you are feeling adventurous! Also, all visas are now two years, instead of three. In addition, a resident can now sponsor his/her male child for up to 25 years and not 18 years as it was the case previously. A male or female resident can sponsor his/her son/s until he is 25. Sons of determination (those with special needs) can be sponsored with no restrictions with regard to his/ their age/s. For babies born in the UAE, a residence visa must be applied for, within 120 days of its birth to avoid getting fines.
alright chris you tell us
you really didnt have to add umm al quwain up there buddy, we both know how trash that place is😂
@@allenpauldaniel8953 Lol! Yes, actually. But hey, they got booze! 😂
Anyone here from UAE?
Yup
As an Emirati, it really makes me feel happy that we are not only being known for Dubai, and that we are actually represented as the entire country, Thank you Barbs!
Edit: Yo I feel I’m famous answering everyone’s questions lmao 😭

I lived in Ras Al Khaimah for a few years. It is the UAE's best kept secret. Stunning landscape and the best Emirate to live in!
You're from UAE?
Just want to say, Paul, I appreciate your efforts. You are the one of the only unbiased, neutral geography youtubers out there, and you always work very hard on your videos. Way to go!
status quo bias is still a bias
This is very true.
I am Arab. The country I come from doesn't matter; as almost every Arab country has a sh!t reputation in the media. Barbs' video popped into my recommendation, and I decided to watch. I expected the classic "talking with hidden, yet obvious resentment" that people hold against my country, and for the most part, I get it. However, most often than not their resentment leads the topic, and it ends up being a fest of misinformation.
I was surprised watching his video, because he talked from such a neutral point of view, and he did not spread any misinformation. He was respectful, well researched, and it was a pleasant video to watch. He did not sugar coat anything, he just... narrated it as it is.
We need more people like him in the world! let alone, in geography videos :) He is a great dude.
@@Wildwildmint Couldn’t have said it better. I am disgusted by the Click Bait “Dubai” videos that are filled with misinformation. I loved this video.
Anyone here from UAE?
8 years... it's been 8 years of me watching GN, starting with Afghanistan itself. It's incredibly somber getting so close to the end. While watching this series I've moved to a new city, begun, and finished college, worked 4 different jobs, moved 4 times, traveled to 15 different countries, met the love of my life and carried on the longest relationship of my life at 4 years and ongoing, got a cat, rubbed that cat's belly approximately 10 billion times and counting, become a new person, eaten approximately10 gajillion bowls of ramen, etc.. I'll be a fan of this channel till the very end, but this series has been a constant during probably the most monumental years of my life thus far. Thank you Barbs and the rest of the GN family for the 8 years of dedicated hard work and consistent quality. We'll see you at the finish line.
love this- I remember the B country days - and calculating it would take like 10 years until USA episode :P
I’m still waiting for yemen
Frankly, Paul may well go back and revisit some of the earlier countries - since a) he's a lot better and more thorough now; b) massive changes in some cases - see Afghanistan 😢
As an Emirati, the part about the crazy roads and exits is totally true! Driving in dubai is very hard, but you’ll get used to it after a few weeks/months.
You're from UAE?
Finally about to reach the UK episode! I was worried the UK wouldn’t even survive long enough.
can't trigger brexiteers
@@streetsarecold it’s not that hard
Bold to assume the UK is gonna see the UK Episode
@@USSFFRU ah yes the UK is going to collapse in less than a month.
We can't appreciate Barbs enough for making geography interesting for us lol
allah
@@ThatsSomeFunnyStuff sure buddy
Geography is interesting even without him
@@logansymmes2193 maybe sometimes yeah
Geography is interesting in general, but Barbs and the crew definitely make it *fun*! That's very valuable, and I enjoy the show so much.
I wish you could have talked a bit more about the Emirati demographics in particular as Emirati's are not a monolith as there are not only Bedouin Emiratis but Emiratis who have Yemeni, Balochi, Omani and background from different areas of Iran as well.
Something I did not know about UAQ is that it's a place for hiking (anyone who's gone hiking in UAQ let me know!)
I'd like to point that as Sharjah is practically capital of culture in the UAE, they are known for so many events to do with the Arts like the Sharjah Biennial and the annual Sharjah Light Festival as well as the Sharjah Bookfair.
Im a year late 😅
But UAQ dosent have any mountains but its famous for its beaches and especially mangrove UAQ
You can go kayaking and there is a coffee shop and airbnbs
Its really beautiful!
If you would like going hiking you can go to ras Al khaima or fujairah there is alot of hiking trails there 👍
Loved this so much! So bittersweet that we get these great episodes but also we’re nearly at the end ❤
I must admit that I kind of feel a little bad for the people in the other Emirates who are always overshadowed by Dubai. Thanks for giving a spotlight to the entire country!
It’s not that deep, even they love Dubai
@@meerabudebs7449 Abu Dhabi has a bit of a beef though. 🤭
@@daniel11111 lol naah it’s so far from the rest of the Emirates it’s it’s own separate thing
Abu Dhabi is the biggest Emirate though, and the capital city
Really the entire UAE is defined by the rivalry/partnership between Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Similar to how the late Holy Roman Empire was defined by the rivalry between Prussia and Austria
What if Dubai is the one to actually enable hearing about them?
It feels so unreal that this series is going to be ending soon. These videos have been great!
I know, but I’m happy we’re at the home of Dubai lol
Maybe considering how long this has been and info as well as style has gone outdated, maybe they're gonna loop around on the older ones, idk, but eyes open.
Am still waiting on Venezuela lol no reason why but I am
So he gonna stop uploading videos?
The dedication is insane, I have been following since the G’s. Amazing creator and community
I have been waiting for this video for so long, it was pretty accurate and unbiased, thank you
Can't believe this series is almost ending!!!!
Only 10 countries left
@@tombo416 So technically 10 more months so till 2024 we can be done with all
I wonder how he will move forward with his channel? He could always cover extinct countries, what-if countries, and countries from popular fiction.
Small correction, we use G plug outlet not D. Would have loved to contribute to the episode. I remember I sent an email a while ago but it may have been lost in all the others. Thanks for the episode
we are nearing the last episode of this series... makes me so sad, but thankful for all you've done to make geography interesting
As an Emirati, I would like to thank you for the most unbiased video about UAE I have ever seen. Also, it is very accurate and your description of the emirates was spot on.
Thank you and I hope you had a great time in my country!
It’s called THE PERSIAN GULF, nowhere in history has it been called anything else. Other than that he wasn’t biased.

Can't wait for the United States episode!
This was a great one as well.
much thanks for all the knowledge and great community here, best wishes to you all 😊
I’ve been following you since letter C … got so excited when you were coming closer to my country (Peru) and when you finally made it I felt (as we say here) as happy as a dog with two tails. Thanks a lot barbs! Every time the videos got longer you still managed to make it interesting, and here I am excited for a 34 minutes of geography about a far away country…. I think you’ve done your job more than well
Before you run out of countries you should do a filler week on Antarctica. The show is called “Geography Now” and it be cool to cover all 7 continents :)
Just discovered you guys, always watch you when I'm at the gym running it's made me want to go everyday now. Love what you guys do
Just like everyone is saying, you, the team and this channel has done the world a great service. We SOOO appreciate all the hard work and thank you SOOO much for making this legendary series. 🎉🎉😊❤
This was great man thank you. I'll be waiting for another year for the next video
I'm sad that you're about to end this historical series that I'm watching since years. Love you Paul ❤️💙
I used to live in the UAE thank you for this and yes, DUBAI IS NOT A COUNTRY finally someone real addressing the situation. I hope you have a good time making these last couple of videos we love you Paul
You can definitely see Barb's evolution throughout the years of the channel. We really appreciate your efforts and congratulations on all of your achievements!
He's also become more buff, if that's what you mean ;)
Hey, I loved this series when I was younger. I was wondering if you could do some updated versions of the older episodes (like Australia or Austria) so that we can see how you would do these videos now.
This is a crazy episode 🔥 can't wait for the next 🎉❤, love you Barbs
As a person who lives there , THANK YOU so much for covering UAE . Waiting for this video since my childhood ❤
Your explanation is great! Huge love from an Emirati
This episode is absolutely spot on, almost everything is perfect, even the niche details on culture and you even got how we even have a hard time describing our culture in contrast to other gulf countries.
i know it’ll still take a little while before the alphabet is over, but are you planning on making videos about places that aren’t independent, such as greenland, french polynesia and stuff like that when the alphabet UN countries are done? it’d be cool to learn specifically about those places
I believe they said that they would do that after the Zimbabwe episode. It's why they haven't covered places like Taiwan or Kosovo.
@@TheHyperTuber-VantaBlack well, but taiwan and kosovo aren’t overseas territories right?
I think he said in some QnA video that he'll cover partially recognised countries/territories after this series is over. Not sure tho.
@@manifestival369 They aren't, but they're also not fully recognized nations by the UN either.
@@manifestival369Taiwan is "overseas," and that's the safest thing I can say about it.
You forgot to mention that Sharjah is the only emirate that has 4 days work a week instead of 5 (monday to thursday) and the past two years statistics showed that employees are more active and accomplishing with the new week day system.
but great episode, never realised that i'm a minority in MY OWN country haha.
Wow what a coincidence and I'm here in Dubai right now and this was a great timing to watch this. This might help me for my trip here. Thank you Sir Barbs ❤
The series may be coming to an end but I think it would be awesome if you went back and remastered some of the early episodes. It would be sweet to see my home country in the same format as these older episodes
OMG thanks so much, as an Indonesian i'm always tired of ppl calling Bali an independent country. its not.
You guys should do a series call Geography Then when you're done with all existing nations. (Covering interesting nations that no longer exist)
That’s a very good idea
Absolutely brilliant episode 🤩
I´m venezuelan and I came across this channel many years ago, I think around the letter D or so, and I cannot wait to see the video of my own country, it has been so long since I started to see these videos and it always seems to far to get to the letter V, you guys started with the letter U recently and I got so excited, "this should be a quick letter and then the V" I thought, and then I remembered that in English there are the United countries and sh*t! these are really big and I realized that I need to wait a little bit longer lol. But Im really glad that you guys made me wait for a youtube video that long and still keep me interested. You are doing great, keep going, please.
Glad the you are making new countries more informative and fun , can you redo old countries in this same format
Every time I watch Geography now, I learn something new. So thnkz for sharing guys. ✌
Oh boy these next two episodes will be something else I will say, but I’m really excited for both of them! Especially the USA! Also Barbs I was not expecting this episode to be out pretty quickly. It usually takes you a good month to release a new episode but I don’t mind these quick uploads!
Love to the UAE from the USA!
🇦🇪❤️🇺🇸
This content is really good. Thank you for creating this kind of fun content, and as an Emirati I really really enjoyed every bit of it.
i remember watching geography now so long ago it's crazy how old this channel is!
great episode as always Barbs, super interesting episode, especially with the expat ratio and religion segment, pretty unlike any other country
Quite enjoyed this one, production/script wise, and of course learning about the UAE was great as well :)
FINALLLYYYYYY

been watching your content since the Bahrain or China episode. Emailed you a couple of years ago for UAE's episode

Triple United is the series I was waiting for whole years. Super excited for UK and USA episode.
Lived in UAE 6 years, you did an awesome job! Plus, hilarious 👌😂
Been waiting for this for sooo long! Finally!!
Been a huge fan of this channel since 2020 and as a filipino who was born in Fujairah I am so hyped for this episode and it did not disappoint!
I love your videos so much!, Thanks for making a new video!
Can't wait for the United States video, I've been waiting forever!
Great job on the UAE video! Can’t wait for you to visit London!
I actually laughed out loud at the part describing exclaves and enclaves it was hilarious 🔥🔥🔥
Love from the UK to the United Arab Emirates. And I'm excited to see the UK episode cause we're an odd bunch, it'll be intresting see our culture spoken about. Hope you mention doggerland cause that's important in our history.
Great video as always! Love the Bulgarian shirt my friend!
This is great work, thank you guys.
The best video clip that talked about the UAE with correct information. Thank you, and we welcome everyone in the UAE❤😊
Only ten episodes left now.
Also, I love the "orthodontist" joke. Best rapid-fire joke in Geography Now! history, IMO.
Been waiting for this video for more than 5 years!
E-Mirates a pretty solid mention for this great in depth video. Thank you kind sir.
UK episode is next, looking forward to it!
Can’t wait for the uk episode as it is my home country! As so, I would like to give some little facts: London it’s self, has 170 museums. Standing at 1,107 feet, the shard is the tallest building in Europe. The London Underground is the oldest underground train system in the world. The British navy used Britney spears’ songs to scare off Somali pirates off the coast of Africa. In Britain accents noticeably change every 25 miles (40km). All horses donkeys and ponies must have a horse passport. In England it is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament. In 1811, nearly a quarter of all women where named Mary in Britain. And last but not least, the National animal of Scotland is the unicorn.
They are using Britney Spears songs because using Justin Bieber's music would be against the Geneva Convention. 😂
@@juanpablosaenz9037 exactly we move colonised half of the world, but we’re not monsters!
What is the general public opinion about artefacts kept in museums?

@@priyadarshi8548 I guess more people in Britain don't care or have more pressing issues at this moment.
Geography Now days are always the highlight of my week!!!
Great video! We are getting so close to Uzbekistan which I am looking forwards to.
I am glad you talked about the Sheikh-Emir-King thing, which always confused me.
here is some Arabic Language and history lesson
Emir = Prince
therefore; Emirate = Principality, a land ruled by a prince, similar system exists in europe.
(Sheikh) could mean one of two things in classical Arabic:
1- Elder, senior citizen, a man who is old, not a woman tho.
2- a Priest for Muslims.
in early Arab history, the head/chief of each tribe would be called a king, but when Islam became the dominant religion it denied people from that title, as even the leader of the whole empire would call himself (Successor of the prophet) and derive his authority from religion, so the tribes did something similar to their titles and gave their leaders a religious title that is less than that of the ruler of the empire, so they landed on Sheikh/priest, even if the leader was not really suitable to be called a priest, it was just a formality....
then in modern history (1900's) the leaders of neighbouring countries picked other titles:
1- Emir/Price for Qatar.
2- Malek/King for Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, and the previous monarch of Iraq.
3- Sultan/Emperor for Oman, similar to the title of the leader of Ottoman empire/Sultanate.
4- technically the leader of Syria is a king, since he inherited the power from his father (the previous ruler of the country) and they both would rule for life, but his official title is president/Ra'ees.
Quite an interesting episode. I've always thought thatthe UAE has always been a bit of a quirky Country, especially with how each of the Emirates are autonomous to an extent.
Also, I gotta admit, there is one thing I am desperately hoping for in the next episode.. For Barbs to nail the pronunciation of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, Ynys Môn, Gogledd Cymru (Yes, including the latter 2 parts. Goodluck Barbs, if you see this! Also please visit Wales too! We'll welcome you with open arms!)
Your episode is spot on, well researched and factual👌I have been living in the UAE for 20 years and everything you said was 100% Well done 👍
Thank you for the explanation of that second order enclave! I am even more confused now
I spent about 2 months in Dubai back in 1998 and it was quite the experience. My dad met one of the Sheikhs there. The heat was brutal, it was mostly desert at the time. But I remember having an amazing time over there despite the 8 hr jetlag.
Yep the heat and humidity can be a pain in the summer
barb is an amazing creator.
He needs to be immortalized in history for this. I was with him since my freshman year of high school. Now I’m about to graduate college in 3 months. Man deserves the world.
Glad to see the journey coming to an end with this series after years and years of episodes now we are almost there
You guys just nailed it.
I'm going to stay in Dubai for next two months and I have been looking over the internet to know more about the country. This is the most wholesome video about UAE. KUDOS !
Truly one of the best geography-related channels on the platform
My dad used to do expat work in ras al khaimah. I fondly remember visiting him every other summer and we would regularly explore the beautiful landscape together with my family. And i remember visiting the beaches and the malls regularly aswell. They were the best times of my life. I feel very emotionally connected to the UAE as a whole and wish them the best in the future. Love from your fellow arab brother in egypt 🇪🇬❤️🇦🇪.
This was a really interesting episode!
Strange how I didn't get to watch this sooner. I'm living there and geo now is one of my favourite channels

To be completely honest, we cannot thank Barbs enough for making geography such an enjoyable subject for us. Their passion and enthusiasm for the subject were infectious, and it made us look forward to every class. They went above and beyond to create engaging lesson plans and incorporate real-world examples to help us understand and appreciate the importance of geography in our daily lives.
we feel fortunate to have had such an amazing teacher like Barbs, and we will always remember the positive impact they had on our education and love for geography.
Love the UAE from Serbia. 🇦🇪❤🇷🇸
I've been patiently waiting for the Zimbabwe episode. It's getting closer 🇿🇼😁
Friggin' great episode, man.
Nothing against Keith and the other presenters, but I'd love to see more geograpeeps in these vids. They know the country best and give the most insight.
*Finally Paul Back With His Full of Good Content Thanks To you Paul For This Videos To Makes Us Knowledgeable and Happy* 😊😊😊 Who Agreed ❣️🤟
I hope once the series is finished Barbs decides to revamp some of the early videos. The style, production and jokes improved massively 😊
I can't believe you still make videos after all this years Ive been watching your videos since I was 10 I am now 15, your the reason why I got interested in learning geography, your videos never changed it has the same environment and the vibes as if it was just 5 yrs ago 😅

I have always been interested in the geosciences and I think Barbs is doing a great job making his living on CZcams. His videos are both entertaining and educational. I look forward to studying geography, although I think it will be very different from watching CZcams videos. :)
