Day in Life in DUBAI

Okay, Today we're going to a Sarith Surith... Hi Travellers! Oh, I forgot to say that. Travellers, We're not travelling today. We're going to watch a show today, A Sarith Surith's one. If you have watched the previous vlog, Sarith Surith's vlog? No, If they have watched our vlog, We mentioned going to their show. What are you saying? Okay, We're on our way there now, And we also went to the Daham's match at Ajman, It was a cricket encounter between the St. Sebestian College, And the Prince of Wa

les College, Right? Yes, The Prince of Wales College. They had a small cricket encounter, So went there as well. It's 4:58 p.m. now, The show was scheduled to start at 4:00 p.m., Let's see, We might be late. And not just Sarith and Surith, The Jaya-Sri will be there, Corrine Almeida will be there, Along with Iraj, Peshala, and so many artists. So, Let's see. It's our first time watching a concert in Dubai. We have Suresh here with us today, He's taking us there. We came to the Sarith and Surith'

s concert, We came here around 4 p.m., The crowd is still on their way, And they should start the show within an hour or so. We've been here for a while now, There are so many stalls over there, We can buy refreshments from them. The stage is over there, This is an outdoor event, Organized by the Sanhinda, Who invited us to be here. Because it was yesterday that we arrived in Dubai, If you have watched our previous video, You might know. So, if you haven't watched that video yet, Please do. Let'

s see about this experience once the concert starts. Suresh has been eating and eating since we got here, And he's making us eat as well. What is it, Suresh? I thought it was a huge bun. Who's this? Teddy bear. What has your mom bought? We came to see a concert, But now we're watching the children play. Suresh is the one who wanted to see this. [Announcers] As the first outdoor concert of winter 2023, Sarith Surith and the NEWS are ready to bring this concert to you. And we're here to walk you t

here, [Announcer 2] Over a while, You were so excited to see an acoustic concert, You have been waiting for this, And on the 11th of November, We came here for you, And we welcome you all to the Academy Stadium, From the bottom of our hearts, Before we start the concert today. Sanhinda Dubai, Live in Concert. Good Morning! We left the event early last night, Because Elina was tired. And today, I thought that, We usually bring you a YouTube guide when we travel to another country. Including how y

ou get there, What are the requirements, Along with the passport and visa details. But instead of that as our first video here, We took a different approach and brought you a flight review. So I thought that I'd use this video for that, Because people always ask us that, Even now, they've been asking us about getting visa, I brought you a cup of tea. Thank you. Nice. It's still warm. First of all, If you wish to visit Dubai, The best time for you to visit is, Usually within November, December, J

anuary, and February months. It's cold here during that time, And it's so warm here during the other months. Our friends in Dubai often share that experience with us. The last time we came to Dubai was at the end of December, And it was so cold here back then. This time, We came here in November, And our friends said that it's getting cold here, But not so much yet. That's the best time for you to visit Dubai, So many outdoor activities are open for you during that season. Otherwise, the outdoor

s would be too hot to do anything. And if the expiry date of your passport is more than six months away, There's no problem at all, But if not, You must renew your passport. And when it comes to applying for the visa, We applied for our visa through Bluepeak Travels, They have a local branch in Nawala, Sri Lanka, You can visit their office and submit the required documents for the visa, And get it done. You can either book your air tickets through the Bluepeak, But we chose FitsAir this time, A

budget airline for anyone, You can book your tickets from the FitsAir website. And when it comes to your driver's license, If you wish to drive a vehicle in Dubai, You can convert your local driving license to an international one. We got ours done from a place next to the Ramada Hotel, Galle Face, It's called the Automobile Association of Ceylon. And they have a yellow color logo like this. That's where we converted ours to international. I think it cost us around 12,000 LKR, The total was 8911

LKR, You can also get their membership for 3500 LKR. And as our international driving license, We get a card like this. Its inside looks like this. And this is the membership card you get. Getting a membership is not mandatory. But it has its privileges. For example, If you had a breakdown in your vehicle around Colombo, You can call them, and they'll send a support team for you. And if you need any further documents, You can arrange them as necessary. Your visa will be valid for 30 days, So yo

u can stay as long as you want within that period. After arriving at the airport, We needed to get a SIM card first. And we were given SIM cards by the immigration counter. I think there was an offer with free 1GB of data, The SIM card was called "Du" and we can recharge it as we want. We can recharge it. And there are a few apps that you must have on your phone, Google Maps is already there on your phone, You'll need Google Maps to find your location and your destinations, And if you wish to us

e mobile data, Keep in mind to recharge your phone early. Or you can connect to the free wifi available in shopping malls and airports. If you wish to call your home, Please download the BOTIM app, And ask your family here to download it as well. Because you can't take WhatsApp calls here, All those services are blocked. And if you want to order some food, There's an app called Careem. And if you do shopping from sites like Amazon, There's an app called Noon. And there's a separate app for you t

o rent cars as well. We'll tell you more about it while we use that app. We're meeting with one of our friends today, We'll be there for a while, And then we'll go on shopping. Let's see what happens today. Bye. She thinks that she's the one who drives that. Bye. We bought... Suresh, What are these called? It's called a Chicken Parata Sandwich. We had these yesterday, And we thought one of these would be enough for both of us. But since it was so good, We bought two of them this time. What is it

again? Is it a Parata Sandwich? It's a Chicken Parata Sandwich. With that, We have a juice over there, And we were told that it was so good, So we bought three of them as well. And now we're going to eat. We have Cheese and Chicken in this, What a diet, When there's cheese. But it looks so good. It has chips as well. We should all go together. We took Elina to play, Because she had been so excited about that since we came here, We had lunch on our way here, And now we're going back to Suresh's

house. To Suresh's apartment. Let's see what else we can do in the evening. Okay, This is our Suresh, Hello! We got our visa from Suresh's travel agency, And now, Suresh is standing here like a, What is it called, Like a stone statue? Yeah, Like a stone statue. The Bluepeak travels, If you can remember, We went... Where was it, Kasun? We went on a camping trip. A desert camping. We went on a desert camping last time, And where is Suresh's office located? Nugegoda. We went to its opening ceremony

as well, And they came to my house today. Yeah, We're going to his house today. We're going to spend the whole day at his place. I'm on my way to exchange some money. I received some Australian Dollars from my sister, And I need to exchange them for Dirhams. Let's see what the rates are. We must go to the color light to cross the road. This is the car park. And that's where the apartment that we're staying in is located. There's a donate box here, We can donate any clothes, shoes, or bags that

we don't use to this box, And I think people in need can take them from here, But I have no idea how it is done. We need to cross from here, And we need to take the next cross from there. I exchanged the cash, This is a 500-Dirham note. No. This is a 1000-Dirham note, And it's the first time that I received a 1000-Dirham note. This is a 500-Dirham note. And these are 500 and 1000-dirham notes. I have a total of 2230 Dirhams with me. When it comes to safety, This is one of the best countries to t

ravel, Even for a solo traveller. But most of the landmarks here are man-made ones. And there are so many vehicles here, Our friend said that the prices of them are low as well, Let's see, If it's possible, We'll do a review at a vehicle shop here, Regarding the vehicle prices. We'll try our best to bring you that video in the future. So, When it comes to safety, There's plenty of safety here for children, families, and anyone. That's not a problem at all. Even when we go to a children's play ar

ea, Or any famous tourist attraction here, There's plenty of safety for children. We experienced that when we were last here as well. We'll show you all that when we get there, We're planning to visit some places here, And we wish to stay here for the next 20 days or so. We'll bring all these details in the future. I'm going to the market over there, Because Chamari asked me to buy some fruits for Elina. We're staying at the building over there, And there's a huge supermarket next to it. Good Mo

rning! I've finished editing today's video. And I'm still sleepy. We couldn't record an end to this video, So I'm taking it before we upload this video, Because I still have to export this.
