Text: Natalia Remmer DUROOB TELEVISION SHOW, OR "TRAVEL" - THE AUTHOR'S PROJECT OF THE FIRST AND MOST POPULAR COME AND UAE AMBASSADOR OF LOCAL CULTURE ALI AL SALUMA. SECOND SEASON PROMISES TO BE ESPECIALLY INTERESTING - THE FILM CRAFT TRAVELED THROUGH RUSSIAN SPACES. THE SHOW WILL BE OUT ONLY IN JUNE, AND EXCLUSIVE DETAILS IN THE “RUSSIAN EMIRATES” - ALREADY TODAY.
Traveling in search of unique cultures, places and stories - this is what the main mission of the Duroob program sounds like. “Our show is a mix of humanitarian, cultural and tourism initiatives. We travel around the world to find unique places and talk about different cultures,” says Ali Al Salum. “We talk about places that Arabs are unlikely to visit - not because cannot afford it, but because they’re not sure about the quality of food, service or safety. "
To dispel stereotypes about Russia, the Duroob crew went to Moscow and Kazan - however, in November 2014, when it had already decently froze, and the shooting day was reduced to eight hours. The trip was short, and the beauties were already hidden in the snow. But still managed a lot, and the stories turned out to be quite interesting. “In Moscow, we immediately went to the railway - as you know, the longest in the world, piercing the largest country in the world from north to south and from west to east,” the program’s author explains. “We’ll also tell our viewers about the Moscow metro, reminiscent of underground palaces. " During a short stay in the capital of Russia, the Emirate guests also met with the famous comedian Mikhail Zadornov. “I was always tormented by the question, Russia is a European or Asian country. Mikhail Zadornov was able to answer him,” Ali intrigues.
It is especially pleasant that the Emirates managed to dispel stereotypes - after all, this is what Ali Al Salum sees as his main task. “It was very cold, but we saw that people on the streets were smiling and joking - I did not expect this. After all, it is believed that the Russians do not smile at all,” the Duroob star says. “In general, we did not see anything terrible or dangerous. I definitely will recommend everyone to visit Moscow. It's worth it. "
Kazan, the Islamic heart of Russia, became the next destination after Moscow. Here Duroob was waiting for many interesting discoveries and meetings with unique people. “Kazan will forever remain in my heart. I will definitely return there with the children as soon as they grow up,” Ali said. “Respect for religion and attitude towards Muslims is better than in many countries of the world. And the history of the country, its ties with the Arab world deserves a separate big film. I’m sure that many Arabs, as soon as they watch the episode about Kazan, will immediately buy plane tickets and fly there. "
In each season of Duroob there are 30 directions that should touch the heart and soul of the viewer, open up new facets of the world. During the holy month of Ramadan, the program will be broadcast every evening on the Abu Dhabi National TV channel. Then it can be found on the national airlines of the UAE and on the Internet, translated into 9 languages of the world. More than 120 million viewers are expected to watch the new season.
The Duroob program thanks the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, the UAE Embassy in the Russian Federation, the Presidential Administration of the Republic of Tatarstan and the Trade and Economic Representation of the Republic of Tatarstan for Dubai for helping to organize the filming.
