In February 2022, my partner Benji and I took a trip to Dubai. It was a crazy whirlwind few weeks leading up to the trip, finding out that Benji has a rare heart tumour. With the all clear to fly, we took this trip to relax and have quality time together. The news gave us a new perspective on things. It was our first time in Dubai, staying at the Anantara Hotel on The Palm. We took a trip to the Mall Of Emirates, Aquaventure Waterpark, Atlantis The Palm, The Lost Chambers Aquarium, Pai Thai, The Pointe Fountain Show, Bushman's Steakhouse, The Beach House and enjoyed our Lagoon Access room! Enjoy the vlog, Brogan & Benji x

I can't imagine the emotional pain you must of both felt during Benji's time in hospital. I am so pleased for you both to go on this trip, especially now. I could almost feel the love between you both pouring out from this video. Also - v small thing, but Benji talking about how he felt about his chest was super nice of him to share and point out. Sharing vulnerable moments brings people together. I loved this video, it was the easiest hour I've spent on youtube. Can't wait for the second one!

I'm glad he's ok. Was waiting for an update on his progress. I was thinking of you both. Looked a bit emotional when you were both watching the sun set, how fabulous was that. Dubai looked amazing and I enjoyed watching every minute. Like you said it looked really clean. I suppose if it's going to be one of the top destination to go on holiday than its got to be impressive. Everything looked perfect. Look forward to the next one xx

As a bmth person and fellow Disney fan I've been watching your vlogs for ages. After getting my friend Kate to go with me to WDW in 2022 and 23 we fancied a change this year so I put this vlog on to see if Dubai was for us. She couldn't believe it was you and Ben who works with her brother Peter Mc. Typical small bmth world 😂 We've now booked Anantara and Pai Thai for her bday meal. Have an amazing cruise and all the best for your wedding

I pray this all sorts out for him, and you. 🙏 As for the rest of the vlog...my heart was singing watching you two take Dubai by storm. ❤ I actually don't have the words to fully express how delighted I am to see you both having the time of your lives, especially given the circumstances.

Hey Brogan and Benj, Ange here. I have been enjoying your vlogs for a couple of years and my favourites are always the ski vlogs. Tonight I have watched your adventures in Dubai. I have never fancied visiting but my words, it looks truly amazing. I might be a convert. I just thought Dubai meant shopping, shopping, shopping which I loathe. The water parks, aquarium, wining and dining experiences all look wonderful. Can’t wait for next instalment.
