  • Dubai has this reputation for borderline ridiculous levels of luxury--lambos on every street corner, gold rings the size of bath tubs, a $200,000 pizza, it’s even been crowned the “global superyacht capital.” So we came here expecting this to be our biggest budget challenge ever...you know we had to try anyway.

      I live in Dubai and can confirm that it's very budget friendly. Remember that the vast majority of people here that keep the city running are not earning fortunes. They need to eat and be entertained too. So there are many wonderful options here to suit all budgets. I hope that you will have a wonderful time in Dubai when you visit.

  • @GeologyOnTheMove
    @GeologyOnTheMove Před měsícem +1

    Enjoyed your video. I've lived here for 9 years and it's been amazing to watch it grow. There are many surprising cheap or free things to do. The malls threw me when i first moved here too, but then i realized it's a desert, and malls are indoor so they do everything here, not just shop: banking, bills, eating, recreation. Ibn Battuta is my favourite, designed based on the famous world traveler's adventures. You don't have to buy, just observe. And getting out of town.... in the last few years, the UAE has invested a lot in natural activities all over that are free or cheap. Restored forts, parks, hiking, beaches, etc. I love living here!

    • @GeologyOnTheMove
      @GeologyOnTheMove Před měsícem +1

      Also, I was thrown that you didn't ride bikes or scooters. So glad you followed the rules, but I have never, ever seen people on those wear either helmets or vests. I have my own bike that I ride (nice tracks by the way) so I see them everywhere. Never seen people do that so I was shocked to hear that was a rule.

    • @GeologyOnTheMove
      @GeologyOnTheMove Před měsícem

      And yes, I am sad about the grand mosque in Abu Dhabi with the mall. You used to be able to drive right up to it and go anytime. But too many people now. A good alternative is the Grand Mosque in Fujairah. Second largest by worshipers in UAE. And no one there!

  • @rideawhiteswantrex

    Hi Josh & Lisa! We didnt’ know you were gonna be visiting Abu dhabi, we could have given you a tour😂. Abu dhabi is more laid back and less metropolitan than Dubai, here you can just go the beach in the Corniche area and chilled for free or roamed around the parks, or visited zoos. And there are tons of cafeterias and Baqala (read as bakala) / store for cheap food and most of the malls are near each other. Thank you for your effort to immerse yourself in the spirit of Ramadan and for noticing minute details of the life here in the UAE and the workers who are the lifeblood of this country.

My image is being tarnished by the people around me, so this is where it comes from. I want my family's life to be better too.

      That’s Dubai in a nutshell. It’s a metaphor for the place. Look closely beneath the gleam and it’s not that well done and it’s poor for normal people living there. It’s still a fascinating place to visit but when the oil starts to run low the whole place will transform, prices, infrastructure, and intent. At the moment it’s like a giant dolls house for the wealthy sheikhs with about as much quality plumbing and electrics.
      It’s still stunning to witness, and inspiringly aspirational but as WalkwithmeTim found recently at the hotels and on the QE2 the reality is mixed.
      Loving this video. Real travel with genuineness.
