  • [intro]

  • Hey, everyone! Welcome to Dubai! I'm so excited to be here. I'm actually here for work with

  • SecureNinja. We were filming and exhibiting at Cyber Security Conference called GISEC

  • See, I'm actually working. In our spare time, we've had a lot of time to check out this amazing city. So, in

  • this video, we check out the Dubai mall, the fountains, the Burj Khalifa, which is the tallest

  • building in the world. We go to the old town dubai museum, we go to the mosque. Right now,

  • we're outside of the Atlantis, out on the Palms Island. That suite right there, $20,000 a night. This

  • city is crazy.

  • So, thank you so much for watching. Make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel. Also,

  • check out the blog, AMae.tv. I'm going to be blogging extensively about my experiences here in

  • Dubai. Oh, and if you want to watch another video about Dubai, I'm making a whole second

  • video just about shopping and fashion in this fabulous city.

  • So, we begin our journey in Jumeirah which is basically the south beach of Dubai. You've got

  • your top dollar hotels, along with pristine beaches and lots of excited tourists.

  • They don't even know who I am, they just think I'm somebody.

  • Are you sweating?

  • Yes, I'm sweating. It is the sweatiest city in the world. And the irony of it all is that it's hot, but

  • yet they recommend that women cover their shoulders to their knees, which I've been doing

  • most of the time. But, right now, we're at the beach, and it's just like the less you wear at the

  • beach, the more appropriate you somehow are.

  • This is fabulous, I feel like I'm in Miami right now, except hotter. And, even richer. Miami looks

  • like a poor town compared to this. So, on this trip, I was stoked to have my amazing SecureNinjaTV

  • producer and good friend, John Miller here to film. He's a pro. Check out his

  • channel, West of Everest. Here's me just trying to hold up his camera.

  • And, right now, I'm at the #[0:01:48.8] beach, and right behind me is the #[0:01:51.0] which is

  • the only 7 star hotel in the world. Rooms there start at about $3000 a night.

  • Welcome to the bus stop. Luxury accommodations here at the bus stop.

  • #[0:02:12.0]

  • They probably do this just so that people won't die on the streets.

  • But, #[0:02:20.7] we didn't even need the bus, because we were on a guided tour of Dubai with a

  • fantastic tour company and driver. I will link to their company in the description and on the blog.

  • Okay, we're going to go in and check out the #[0:02:33.9] mosque. It's a copy of the blue

  • mosque in Istanbul. Which, I've actually been to, but I wasn't filming back then. And, I'm

  • covering my head because it shows respect to Islam, when you cover your head and cover

  • everything when you go into a place of religion. So, let's go see what it looks like.

  • #[0:02:58.3]

  • I was wrong. I need to cover more than my head. So, I'm going to put on the #[0:03:05.3] which

  • they so graciously provide. The head cover is called the #[0:03:13.0]

  • I think it's lovely. And while we put a bunch of extra clothes on, we actually had to take our

  • shoes off. Kind of like at the airport, but for different reasons.

  • So pretty. Blue mosque is much more full of people. It's nice to see the same kind of designs in

  • this mosque.

  • Welcome to Dubai. Our next stop is to Oldtown, the oldest standing building in Dubai. A fort

  • built in 1787, and it is now home to the Dubai Museum.

  • I actually cared how my hair looked this morning, and now I'm just sweating to death.

  • #[0:04:13.7] time. So, it's like a fort. A fort from back in the day.

  • Man: Or Fort Lauderdale.

  • Or, Fort Lauderdale.

  • So, this is their house. Look at that.

  • The bathroom. I guess you just pee in the sand.

  • This is how they lived in Dubai in the 1800s. It's hot! It's the kitchen. It has sticks, pots-

  • This area features #[0:04:51.0] ever. Greatcor for any home.

  • Man: The spitting makes it even more creepy.

  • This museum keeps getting crazier and crazier. Wow.

  • It kind of feels like a haunted house, but it's really just a museum. It's underground, though, so

  • it's very scary.

  • And, I'm getting excited to meet my real life camel later!

  • Now, we're outside of the royal palace, where Sheik Muhammad Al #[0:05:17.4] lives.

  • Peacocks! Peacocks outside of the royal palace. #[0:05:27.3]

  • They don't love me.

  • I like it.

  • Oh my gosh. Isn't he pretty? Hey, birdy.

  • #[0:05:51.3]

  • He says it better than me.

  • So now, I'm outside of the #[0:05:59.7] which is the tallest building in the world. It's

  • construction was completed in 2010, making it the tallest building in the world. The reason they

  • built it was for Dubai tourism, of course. Just another way to make Dubai look awesome. And, it

  • was Sheik #[06:13.2] who wanted to get it built. You can go to the top, but we're not going to

  • the top, because we don't have the time.

  • Whoa. The Dubai Fountains, designed after Belagio Fountains in Las Vegas, yet twice as big.

  • Man: Go for it.

  • Thank you so much for joining me on this excited adventure in Dubai. Make sure you subscribe

  • to AMaeTV so you don't miss any of the travel videos I'm shooting. Next up, just might be

  • Man: I'm rolling. You have, for your subscribe box, if you want to draw it out with your hand or

  • point. Yeah.

  • Is that good?

  • Man: Uh, I'd say bring your hand in that way. Yeah. Point that way. There you go.

  • Right there?

  • Man: I'd go up a little bit. Yeah.
