Hello.
I am currently in Sharjah
which is a city in the United Arab Emirates,
it is about 20 minutes outside of the center of Dubai.
And right now I am standing outside of the Sharjah Museum Of Islamic Civilization,
which is one of the most important museums in this area.
I'm now entering Souq Al Arsah
which is the oldest souq, probably .
So, a souq is a marketplace.
So, this is where they'll sell crafts and jewelry, tapestries, etc.
I got some cool playing cards.
So, this says Dubai scenery,
and each card has a different building or landmark that's in Dubai
and they're shiny and cool, I like them.
Most of you know this already, but I collect playing cards.
It's probably like, I think it's the only thing that I really collect,
and I don't even do it that well.
But yeah, whenever I see something cool like this, I try to grab it.
They're fun.
I'm in the center of the city right now, so, it's a little bit noisy.
Right back here is a fort, and this is kind of like a fort Museum.
I'm not going to go inside,
I'm actually going to head back to Dubai right now.
But really, really interesting.
Just outside of Dubai we have this section of the city
which is a little bit more conservative than the more modern-day Dubai.
I'm currently in the Deira's district in Dubai
which is an area that is full of souqs.
So, they have different types of souqs.
Souq, again, are just different types of markets.
So, we've got ton of different shops and just a lot of stuff to buy.
They've got jewelry, textiles, herbs.
And here we have the heaviest gold ring
declared by the Guinness World Records.
And that's it for this video.
I thoroughly enjoyed going to Sharjah,
that was a pleasant surprise.
I feel like it's something that's a little bit overlooked.
When people come to Dubai,
they pretty much just stay in the modern new Dubai
with all the fancy lights and the shows.
And I feel like you're kind of missing out on the whole experience
by not leaving that area.
There's a lot of culture and a lot of history
that's just 15-20 minutes outside of the center of modern Dubai,
and I think that it's worth it,
I think it's worth the trip, and it was extremely fascinating
and I'm so happy that that I did that,
I can't recommend doing that enough.
I hope that you enjoyed this video.
