:00:22. > :00:30.On the morning of New Year's Day 1914, the first scheduled commercial
:00:31. > :00:37.airline flight took off from St Petersburg in Florida and made a 23
:00:38. > :00:45.powered journey across the bay to tamper -- 23 minute journey. The ex-
:00:46. > :00:54.mayor of St Petersburg paid $400, around $5,000 in today's money. For
:00:55. > :00:57.the privilege. In 2016, over 3 billion passengers will board an
:00:58. > :01:03.aircraft somewhere on earth. Some will be travelling for business, and
:01:04. > :01:07.others will be flying to the friends and relatives. Many will be fleeing
:01:08. > :01:14.war and hunger, in search of a new life. One place with a claim on
:01:15. > :01:16.being the world's largest intersection is Dubai International
:01:17. > :01:22.Airport in the United Arab Emirates. More people from more
:01:23. > :01:30.countries and cultures passed through Dubai than any other hub in
:01:31. > :01:35.the world. Keeping track of all the arrivals and departures is
:01:36. > :01:39.difficult, even if you are standing in the observation tower. Some 1200
:01:40. > :01:47.planes take off and land in Dubai every day. That is almost one a
:01:48. > :01:52.minute. But what compels all of those people to travel? Why are we
:01:53. > :01:57.moving around our planet more frequently than ever before? To find
:01:58. > :02:03.out, we sent a team to Dubai's main international airport to talk to the
:02:04. > :02:17.people passing through. For a start, where were they doing? -- going as
:02:18. > :02:36.Mac Delhi. Frankfurt. Paris. Bombay. Turkey. Amsterdam. Istanbul. Paris.
:02:37. > :02:50.Nairobi. Gangnam Style! London! Pakistan. Vienna. Barcelona. New
:02:51. > :03:11.Delhi. Poland. Johannesburg. United States. London Gatwick. Beirut.
:03:12. > :03:18.France. New Delhi. Istanbul. Zurich! For many centuries you travel in
:03:19. > :03:24.search of food, shelter, or are more forgiving climate but another sort
:03:25. > :03:25.of journey was also wildly popular, and it was more about making a
:03:26. > :03:58.spiritual discovery. I will pray to the gods to arrange
:03:59. > :04:02.something for me, and help me. For as long as he can remember, he
:04:03. > :04:09.dreams of going to make up on a pilgrimage. For him, this dream
:04:10. > :04:24.seemed very far away from the reality.
:04:25. > :04:53.He needed a miracle, and one came in the form of a generous child.
:04:54. > :05:02.After taking his first ever international flight, he arrived in
:05:03. > :05:09.Mecca, joining thousands of pilgrims who have made similar trips to his.
:05:10. > :05:16.But when he first entered the mosque, he was prevented from
:05:17. > :05:17.fulfilling his lifelong desire, to touch a part of the holy
:05:18. > :06:45.Blackstone. Of course, for as long as there have
:06:46. > :06:52.been religious pilgrimages, there have been journeys undertaken for a
:06:53. > :06:57.more ugly purpose. Money and trade. And even in the day's world of
:06:58. > :07:01.instant cash transfer, some people still leave their homes to buy and
:07:02. > :07:12.sell commodities, and experience the thrill of a good deal.
:07:13. > :07:21.Bought theirs. They exchanged this. I made this, I exchange this. And
:07:22. > :07:35.some other ones through their also in the bag.
:07:36. > :07:44.Dubai has long been a magnet for gold traders and fortune seekers and
:07:45. > :07:48.it is no surprise why. 20% of the world's told passes through the city
:07:49. > :07:58.each year, and some of it is available at a price that make deals
:07:59. > :08:02.-- dealers in London's eyes water. You bring some old gold or you bring
:08:03. > :08:07.the gold coin, they bring designs for you, you choose a design you
:08:08. > :08:11.want write down the name. And they tell you what, if you are OK with
:08:12. > :08:16.what to do, they tell you the size. If you bring four grams, they tell
:08:17. > :08:20.you this size will bring new four grams. You bring more, they tell you
:08:21. > :08:23.what it will do. Then if you want bigger you bring more grams. So we
:08:24. > :08:28.brought the grams and we chose our design, we wrote down the name, and
:08:29. > :08:34.they gave us two days to come for it. Then we came back on everything
:08:35. > :08:42.was OK. It is getting off your old, overused gold for new ones for you
:08:43. > :08:46.to enjoy. They are not the only ones to make a holiday out of swapping
:08:47. > :08:52.gold jewellery. Thousands of tourists visit the United Arab
:08:53. > :08:56.Emirates to trade. And Ugochi says many of her friends in Nigeria do
:08:57. > :09:00.the same thing. We got the gold are full of whiskey. I want to give it
:09:01. > :09:02.to a special friend of ours. Yes, because gold label is quite reserved
:09:03. > :09:16.bottle. Gold, for me, is quite treasured.
:09:17. > :09:23.You can... It doesn't, the value does not reduce in standard. And I
:09:24. > :09:35.like it. I don't know, I was brought up with it, so I like it. It is not
:09:36. > :09:43.just metals that people travel to trade. One ancient form of transport
:09:44. > :09:52.is now a cash cow. Well, camel. These men are travelling through the
:09:53. > :10:03.region to sell their finest racing camels to sheikhs and investors in
:10:04. > :12:22.markets in places like Qatar, and their home country.
:12:23. > :12:28.In the past, camel racing in the Gulf has been associated with the
:12:29. > :12:32.exploitation of very young children who were favoured as jockeys because
:12:33. > :13:13.of their lightweight. But much has changed in the last ten years.
:13:14. > :13:21.Camel racing is widely associated with... But the sport is spreading
:13:22. > :13:23.to places like Mongolia and Australia. And it could even spread
:13:24. > :13:54.to cooler climes. # They need a brother's
:13:55. > :13:59.leadership... Once if you were a dancer and wanted to work in musical
:14:00. > :14:03.theatre, you would head to New York's Broadway or London's West
:14:04. > :14:05.End. But international travel has changed our perceptions of where the
:14:06. > :14:26.centres of art and culture are. I'm going to train with a
:14:27. > :14:34.contemporary dance company based in Mumbai. What drew me to Mumbai is I
:14:35. > :14:38.saw the country out there do the first to last year and I did a
:14:39. > :14:42.workshop with them and I knew the ballet master and I knew the
:14:43. > :14:47.contemporary teacher from the time at a previous company based in
:14:48. > :14:50.Israel. They're very interested in an international relationships, and
:14:51. > :14:54.very interested in cross cultures, they bring in people from Israel and
:14:55. > :14:59.the US and they're looking to expand it even more. So I'm coming back
:15:00. > :15:03.with aspirations of possibly teaching and bringing an American
:15:04. > :15:04.flavour to their contemporary style, their way of taking class and
:15:05. > :15:25.approaching class. My previous training was primarily
:15:26. > :15:28.in musical theatre, so I went to the arts academy, which is a boarding
:15:29. > :15:33.arts high school based in California. While I was there I
:15:34. > :15:39.rediscovered dance and I decided that is what I wanted to focus on so
:15:40. > :15:43.I put theatre and music to the side and focused on dance, I looked for
:15:44. > :15:55.universities and colleges with a dance programme. And then when I
:15:56. > :16:00.graduated musical theatre kind of snap back up on me, it wasn't in my
:16:01. > :16:04.periphery at all. I think concert dance is where I'm going to go all
:16:05. > :16:08.maybe commercial industrial stuff. Senior year I auditioned for my
:16:09. > :16:13.first Equity actors union show and it was Xanadu and it was a code pro,
:16:14. > :16:18.so we started at a couple of theatres in Seattle and we took the
:16:19. > :16:25.showdown to Arizona and for that to be my first experience is, like, oh
:16:26. > :16:35.my God. I feel incredibly in favour with the universe.
:16:36. > :16:48.And I just finished doing How to 60 in business without really trying at
:16:49. > :17:02.the fifth Ave Theatre. -- six seed. So now I'm on my way
:17:03. > :17:06.back, on my way back to man by for a little bit and then my spirit is
:17:07. > :17:15.telling me to go to New York. So that's the step after Mumbai.
:17:16. > :17:21.Richard is free to travel the world and ply his craft. But for some,
:17:22. > :17:25.artistic expression comes at a price. These three soap actors are
:17:26. > :17:33.superstars in Saudi Arabia and they have come to Dubai to film a drama
:17:34. > :17:37.for prime time in the season where people tend to relax after a day of
:17:38. > :17:44.fasting with some time at the TV. Nothing unusual about that except is
:17:45. > :19:36.one of the only women on camera in the kingdom.
:19:37. > :19:42.But there is one luxury that affordable air travel has brought us
:19:43. > :19:44.it is the ability to move around the world just to meet new people and
:19:45. > :19:58.try new things -- if there is. They tried to interview me on how
:19:59. > :20:01.awesome my life is, it's it's actually been that way all the
:20:02. > :20:05.time. I came to Dubai because I believe so that Dubai is the place
:20:06. > :20:09.where you can get a lot of opportunities for a job. You can
:20:10. > :20:14.grow professionally the way much faster than somewhere in Europe,
:20:15. > :20:19.it's way much harder in Europe. For example, in Slovakia, more people
:20:20. > :20:24.are jobless than in Dubai. I came here by myself and I found a job
:20:25. > :20:27.right away. I just took my CV to a couple of restaurants and they gave
:20:28. > :20:45.me a job. There's nowhere like Dubai, right? Only New York.
:20:46. > :20:52.I just got my dream job, which means I'm going to travel the world and
:20:53. > :20:56.I'm going to become a cabin crew. After a hard time I had, I applied
:20:57. > :21:00.seven times and I never got a chance, I finally beat it and I'm
:21:01. > :21:06.finally going to be there. So, yeah, see you in the air then!
:21:07. > :21:15.Mostly Dubai is like you work and then you go out and you go party,
:21:16. > :21:20.you spend all your money, then you go back to work, you try to reach
:21:21. > :21:23.again the point when you get your tips done and your money done and
:21:24. > :21:28.then you go party against. There's a couple of times when you have time
:21:29. > :21:32.to go sleep. These are the pictures with my friends from my last party.
:21:33. > :21:37.A lot of people here in Dubai are all so lonely because maybe they
:21:38. > :21:42.cannot get the culture. Also Dubai has a lot of rules, not everyone can
:21:43. > :21:46.access that. First time when I got here I thought, hell, no, I'm not
:21:47. > :21:50.going to do that. Then it was, like, if I have to, you have to follow the
:21:51. > :21:56.rules if you want to live here. If you have a boyfriend you can't go
:21:57. > :21:57.out and, like, hang out together and kiss together and be, like, yeah,
:21:58. > :22:13.baby! I got a henna I didn't want to look
:22:14. > :22:21.like because I didn't get a tan so I got a henna so people will think she
:22:22. > :22:23.came from Dubai, so I will get the henna at least, it's a fake tattoo.
