Dreams of Dubai
Amidst an otherwise desolate Arabian desert, we found ourselves staring upwards in disbelief as the city sparkled against the night sky. Extravagant buildings shooting up out of the sand formed a canopy of metallic structures and flashing lights. Sports cars flooded the streets with the roar of foreign engines, and it seemed as if people from every continent had been drawn to Dubai by one dream or another. We, Nainoa Langer and I, came here with one question, “What’s Dubai REALLY like?”
We’ve all seen the social media posts filled with opulent images of luxurious lifestyles, and we were happy to finally experience some of that haha, but we knew there had to be more to this place. So we met up with as many locals as we could, asked an annoying amount of questions, and ended up having way too much fun along the way.

The filming and editing of this are crazy good.. One of my favs so far🔥 Also always happy to see others experience our Arabic culture and hospitality. Even if there are definitely areas we need to improve but this video has a beautiful outlook and story. Would love to see you visit more of the Arab World soon!❤️🌍

Stunningly beautiful video ... top drawer filming and editing! 👍🤗💞
I seriously don’t understand why your channel isn’t big. The content is amazing, you’ve absolutely smashed it.
Beautiful bro!
who would have thought. this is why travelling is eye opening and life changing
Another absolute banger! Each time you and Nai work together, you can clearly see the passion that went into creating the video. You can also see how the two of you are tweaking your styles and growing. So impressed. Favorite line "Enough talking, more riding... let's not hit any camels!" Classic!

Was wondering why you had not posted, and I found this gem! I had not seen. Most favorite site. wish you could do more, but the ones you do, are incredible and uplifting. thanks
Came in 2 LIFE. WOW
This needs millions of views amazing work!
*insane vídeo man, that's amazing 🔥🔥🔥*
THERE IS NO WAY THIS ONLY HAS 15,423 VIEWS!!!!!!! The work you and the crew do is out of this world! Cant wait for the others!
Truely cinematic footage & great story! Well done! Have been there several times and always enjoyed! Amazing city! 🤙
Underrated as HELL! You're super inspiring to me bro what a masterpiece!!
Goosebumps. Crazy good put together! X
............you need your own travel TV show....i can see you on discovery channel or something. This is incredible.
Wow! Amazing video, especially the dirtbikes ;)
Love it ! ! ! So sick ! Never been to Dubai but I will. Thanks for the Inspiration !
you should have a ton more subscribers, so talented great work
The way he’s not just some guy flexing his travels on social media but sharing his experiences about new cultures is why he’s the #1 content creator
Lived in Dubai all my life but seeing this video reminded me that there's still so much more to see and experience here. Thank you for showcasing the place I call home so beautifully. And I'm glad to see you enjoyed your stay! Hope you come visit us again soon. Fan meet-up next time please!
You work is so good!
you guys deserve a subscription over 1 million 😊👍🏻
Nothing but love 🤍 I love how you didn't make a classic video that every single person does when it goes to Dubai with focus on luxury, but show us it's history and soul. Keep up with a amazing work captain ✌️✈️
Aloha Sam & Nainoa, thank you for transporting us to another dimension with this divine storytelling and visual! 🙏
Wow! Seriously such a good video, love the song choice!
This video makes me miss travelling so much. Can’t wait to explore the world again😍🌞
Woah, how is the video shaped rectangularly like this? The only time I notice this is when people record videos vertically, but this camera lens must be really wide for the video itself to be so wide! I feel like this is a good choice, very pleasing to the eye and good presentation for visuals as rich as these. Nice!!!
Duuuude ! you are literally the best creator. Why don’t you make more?
The pandemic has been a crazy time, so many different stories, so many different paths people took.

Sam Potter knows how to put a damn good short documentary together. I am truly happy that i get to learn many cultures by your films.
Well don Sam & Nai! You two never fail to impress
Dude I need friends like you guys. I have been traveling by myself. Snowboarding skydiving scuba diving whitewater rafting riding motorcycles and dirt bikes and surfing and rock climbing anything that is like a adrenaline addition but I have no friends that want to do any of that. Your a lucky man remember that!!!
that was insane. I actually really enjoyed this video omg.
