How many times can I say desert i'm so excited it feels hot already today
You can feel from this window. I'm staying at two seasons hotel here in dubai
Woken up this incredible view this morning, but hopefully it's not as hot as it was yesterday outside
It's currently the middle of the dubai summer
So we actually picked probably the worst summer year to come
To dubai if we can handle this. I feel like we can handle any heat

Right here one sold for 8 million right that's 1.7 million pounds. Wow for one camel
They've got a hospital there where they get looked after very well
We've just made it to the desert now, it's super hot but it's it's actually quite a nice
It feels like a different kind of heat from yesterday
I guess because we're in the desert and not surrounded by buildings
There's these old land rovers here as well, which is super cool. This is awesome
I've never been in a desert or even seen a desert
Brand new experience for us and we're gonna get gonna get kitted up now

Okay, so we're getting a little bit of special treatment here today i'm gonna get gonna get taken for a short ride
In this one, which is amazing. It's from the 1940s
So crazy how you can see the new range rovers here and then the classic ones
Just see how far everything's come within the same kind of brand. It's unbelievable
The desert
One thing they do have to do wow, this sand is hot that's crazy
One thing they do have to do with these range rovers is actually deflate the tires. You can hear it now before
Yeah, you can hear in the background before we go on the sand
Um, because I think that gives it a bit more grip it allows it to roll across the sand a lot more easily
Wow the first guest on our tour today, that's great. I've never seen that
Wow
No, but this animal see, uh, this is the national animal of the ua
Oh, wow, and these animals they can resist with the heat. Yeah, 50 60 degree. They can resist
And this animal almost disappeared in 1970
The human they used to hunt these animals and they use the horns
Against the malaria they use this cane to make like sandals
Yeah, and they used to drink the blood when they have a bite scorpion snake bite
Wow, when we opened the dcr it was only 75 hours, but now there is more than 700 dollars
What do you think your first desert experience? I love it. It's cool. It's so vast and we kind of see it's a little bit like
daunting how
How big it actually is and it just goes on for miles. Yeah, and it goes across four countries
um
Yemen, saudi arabia
here and
Oman
I'm learning top marks. Thank you
Really? It's quite unbelievable. We've never seen anything like this before so I don't think you'd last two minutes out here on your own
So nice. We got this luxury experience
So we can enjoy it from the comfort
Of the air conditioning and the comfy seats. It feels like you're floating across here. It's so so comfortable
Wow, one of the few trees here
Look all the sand behind it. Yeah
Okay, this is the the arabian gazelle. Can you see george just look for that tree?
Oh here. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, and the gazelle they can resist without water up to three months
This is amazing so we've got desert forever
Let's do like a 360. Yeah, i'm just gonna show you guys how vast
This place is
There literally is just sand all around us amazing. We're in the middle of the desert
It's so hot as well. It's five o'clock now already. Yeah, it's like evening time, but it's still so hot
If you can swim up to three meters, you can see the tracks, right? Can you see that? Oh, yeah
A sandfish a lizard has made these tracks
Goes right away. It makes land
That's crazy, okay, I cannot put my hand inside because I don't know what it's doing
So we're now
Going to see a falcon show. Thank you very much
They've got this really cool
Area set up over here
Wow, it's peaceful. It's very very quiet. We're pretty much the only people I can see the lady getting the falcon ready
Look at this area this for a desert desert living room
Yeah
That's amazing. Where do you want to sit?
Right in the middle the best seats. Yeah. Oh wow, it's echoey in here. So this little guy's name is regna. He's still a baby
He's about one years old. Here's some water. Thank you so much
Thank you really is a
Luxury service here. We're sat on a
Nice sofa enjoying some drinks
Soft drinks, of course because we're in dubai and some strawberries
Wow, the camels have just arrived. That's so cool. They just came right over the deck. Wow, there's loads
We've been given some some nice snacks here. We've got
like a caviar and salmon
Vegetable and a beef steak
Whoa, there you go
Now you need to hold tight with both hands
See you in abidabi exactly
So we're on a camel ride now
George is behind me. You put another mate next to you as well. He's trying to overtake you
And the sun's just setting. This is incredible
Extremely comfortable camel ride. Never thought i'd say that
but um
There's like a really big padding and we're just kind of sat in between two humps. Are we?
I think oh, no, maybe there's only one hump
I'm, not too sure
And we arrived
Just like that
It looks like we've just taken these but no we did
We did take the camels. We just arrived here. We've come out to a restaurant tonight that we haven't tried before
Um, I hear they do really good dessert
It has good reviews. I think
Don't just don't just oh, oh that's good. That's really good, but it's only got one. Yeah, that's the joke lucy. Sorry
That's the job
For you, okay, okay, cool
Give me a hand
Give me a hand man. Give me a hand. Thank you. Give me a hand
All right, arabic coffee. Do you remember how to say? Thank you?
Ah, yeah
I've got some arabic coffee here and then a date to sweeten it up. Should I try?
I've got a date
What's better to have okay like this
Okay, the question is uh, why they give you only half cup
Too strong too strong no expensive you are more expensive than coffee
Okay, the the main reason why they give you half cup or less than half cup it mean that you are welcome here
And back in days they don't have mobile yeah, that's why the coffee is a way of communication
They give you half cup. It means just you can stay more. Oh, they give you full of cup
It means i'm busy to do something. Yeah with the polite way. I'm saying
Have it now. Yeah
Yeah, you will have the dinner nice this is our table for dinner very special romantic
Lovely. Wow. What a day. We have come back now. We've given some cold towels. Uh, we're in a like a
What do you call it a lounge area?
I know. Um
I've taken this off. It's cooled down now a little bit. So it's all good
I just want to say thank you to the company who provided this for us today platinum heritage
It's been a day. We will remember forever. We've still got dinner to comes like a
Four course six six course meal or high quality food professional chef here. He's got his kitchen set up over here
We'll show in a minute absolutely incredible day in the range rovers seeing the wild animals in the sand. It's good here because they don't do
It's good
This isn't good, but it is good that they don't do dune bashing here. Yes, they're very much about reserving the nature here and the
Environment and this is the only tool that goes into this reserve as well, which is incredible. Yeah, very very exclusive
It's very luxurious and dune bashing actually
I didn't know this but there's like is it 90 percent or something of the animals in the desert are in the sand?
And all like the uh plants and stuff just get completely ruined and they just get totally destroyed or killed. Yeah
So i'm glad we didn't do that. I'm glad we chose for sure now
We've got our own private we just showed you private little thing for dinner. So we're having steak amazing day. Wow. What a day
So it's evening time here now, what time is it I haven't kept track of time all day
Guess what time it is?
I would say eight o'clock 20 to eight. Oh, that's good. Not bad
Um, and it's still like it's pitch with getting very dark. It's almost pitch black the moon's up
But it's still so hot like the table just feels hot
Cutlery's hot everything's just so warm, isn't it? Yeah, it's like
This heat's something i've never felt like this hot we sat down now for a six course meal
