Top 10 Places To Visit in The UAE - Travel Guide

Ryan Shirley goes up to the Burj Khalifa's tourist viewing level, but his UAE trip isn't all about looking down from skyscrapers. Hatta brings mountains and boating, Abu Dhabi brings a mangrove park, and the Empty Quarter replaces the skyline with seemingly endless sand.

"Top 10 Places To Visit in The UAE - Travel Guide" was his only upload this week, reaching about 18,000 views. It is also his busiest video by daily views right now. The route takes in the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Fujairah's Snoopy Island and Dhayah Fort before heading toward Jebel Jais. Then comes an extra border crossing: the closing Arabian Fjords excursion is in Musandam, Oman, not the UAE.

That city-to-desert contrast is getting attention in the comments. Viewers pick out the dunes, ask about exploring the Empty Quarter and discuss seeing more of the country than Dubai alone. One longtime resident notes that even people living there may not have visited every stop; another viewer describes heading straight from Ryan's videos to searching for plane tickets.

Across the channel, subscribers grew modestly, while daily viewing is a little below its usual level. Nearby travel channels Michael Drake and Truck House Life had substantially larger weekly views gains, with The $10 Travel Show having a quieter week.

Ryan's older Asian guides remain part of the picture, too. "Top 10 Places To Visit in Thailand - Travel Guide" and "Top 10 Places To Visit in Sri Lanka - Travel Guide" are his next-busiest uploads by daily views, keeping Khao Sok's scenery, Chiang Mai's mountains and Sri Lanka's tea country in the rotation alongside the new desert journey.
