Welcome back everybody to FTD facts. This is the new generation of class where we give you facts about everything and
Everything okay, so the majority of videos that we do about the different places on our planet have to do with countries
but this time we're journeying into the city of
Dubai Dubai is a city located in the United Arab emirates
And it is the city of the biggest you'll see why when I get into the facts definitely my future vacation spot
Right about now, just take a look at it now
Thanks to Youtube user list package for requesting this video also. I got to give a big
[thank] [you] to everybody else that want us to do a video on Dubai, so let's get into the facts now
What many people don't know is that [alright] everybody calls it Dubai, but that's actually based off of the English accent
but in arabic it's actually pronounced Dubey [let] what I had no idea, but for the sake of
Familiarity for most people I'm gonna stick to pronouncing it dubai. That's how I've always pronounced it anyways
But if I try to say [Dube], I'm just gonna like mess up in the video and say dubai anyways, so yeah
I'm sticking [to] Dubai now down in Dubai. They actually has some very nice police cars. Yeah, the police fleet has
Lamborghinis it has ferraris
it has
Bentley's this is to allow them to catch up with those guys
That are speeding way too fast and a standard car just may not be able to keep up with them now
This is a weird one like so it was believed by many people that dubai actually had no sewer system whatsoever
[but] rather it was actually believed that dubai only used poop trucks to carry around the waist of the whole city
this was largely due to a video posted on YouTube back in 2009 that filmed miles and miles and miles of trucks filled with
Sewage in Dubai however the reason for those trucks was that Dubai's
existing sewage system
Wasn't really built to handle the amount of growth that the city was receiving and the infrastructure in their sewage system
Just wasn't that built up yet and because [of] this they had to collect waste from thousands of septic
And deliver them [by] truck to the City's only sewage treatment plant
However since then the sewage system has greatly expanded
So you're not gonna see miles and miles and miles of poop drugs when you go to Dubai?
[we'll] just have to clear up that myth
So that you know that obviously, I'm heading there for our future vacation, right?
But let me know if you could go anywhere right now on vacation where would that be
I want to hear [where] you would visit let me know in the comment section now another fact about Dubai
Is that it's known as the city of gold Dubai is home to the gold souk which is a traditional market that has over
300 retail shops
Dedicated to gold now some of you may [remember] this story
It was all over the headlines
but if not [here]
[it] was actually this journalist from Dubai right his name was omar bore khan Al gala now he had [travelled] to Saudi Arabia
But he was considered too handsome
So was reported that he as well as two other people were actually kept out of Saudi
Arabia by the religious police for being too handsome now a local newspaper
Explained this by saying that these guys had to [be] kicked out because they feared that female
Visitors would fall for them and ladies if you think this guy's had some let me know by [hitting] that like button now
Let's talk about the Burj Khalifa now
This is a super tall skyscraper in Dubai
[and] it's actually the tallest structure in the world standing at two thousand seven hundred and twenty feet now opened back in
2010 as part of the new
Development called downtown Dubai now the building Burj Khalifa was named in Honor of the president of the United Arab emirates
Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan
Yeah, that thing is tall it makes our cn. Tower. Look like a will
Let's take a look at another structure the burj Al arab and that in arabic actually translates to the tower of the arabs
It's a hotel in Dubai, and it's the third tallest hotel in the world
Standing at [one] thousand five hundred and fifty three point one five feet now when you take a look at it
It looks like a sail on a ship that's exactly what they wanted to make it look like
But guess what guys like all the way. This is like the coolest hotel that I ever seen about
39% of it it's completely on occupiable. It's just wasted space
I'm like what just thinking about all of the money that they [could] be making
If they just filled up the space with I don't know more hotel rooms
[I'm] just saying now the dubai mall is the largest mall in the world by total area it has over
1200
Retailers like Dubai. I swear is a place that you can literally shop till you drop
Now although Dubai is in the middle of a desert in the dubai mall, you can actually go skiing like on snow
So I guess after a long day if you're just really hot and you want to cool off
You can just go hit the slopes. That's crazy
that's like having the North Pole in the
[middle] of the Mojave Desert
now in addition to port Rashid dubai has the biggest container port in the middle east and that is the Port Jebel Ali
This is located in the world's largest man-made harbor
Starting to see why I call this the city of the biggest now. Here's an interesting one
Nationals of the Uae only make up 10 to 15% of Dubai's total
Population the other eighty-five to ninety percent of the residents are immigrants mostly of which are of asian descent
Mainly Indian Pakistani
Bangladeshi and Filipino and for final fact guys I think that's pretty amazing about Dubai or on
Amazing depends on how you look at it is a fact that their crime rate is next to nothing
[it's] believed that the [reason] why the crime rate is so low is because of the strict Sharia law that is
Enforced so people know that if they mess up they can be deported
[like] you can actually get deported for kissing in public and since the city is made up largely of
Foreigners people don't want to be thrown in prison people don't want to be deported so it's cool
But that concludes this episode of Dubai
