Saudí is that country where you will meet 10 Mohamed in less then 1 hour.
Haha! Fact.
Lol that true
Yes b/c we muslims really love and respect the name Muhammad :)
why not!! its agood name🙂
Yes and we are extremely proud of that name.name of the greatest man and profet ever.peace be upon him.
Big love to the guy who gave you a free tour in his car on your first day! It's people like him that make traveling so wonderful and inspiring.
you will find alot of ppl inside SA like him, even me if i dont have a car i can find someone will take me without taking any money, also if your car is broken down you will find ppl who help you to fix your car. thanks for your lovely comment
Peoples over here are kindhearted and hospitable
yes, enough with the what-aboutism. People are people.
Believe me any Saudi will immediately do this favour for him or any one
Hope this doesn't get corrupted by movies etc western culture
As a photographer, I've spent quite a bit of time in Riyadh over the last year and a half, and I can tell you, literally everyone I've met or worked with has been extremely cordial and friendly. As you correctly point out, there's a HUGE difference between the people on the ground in Saudi Arabia and it's political challenges and aspirations.
Would women travellers have the same experience I wonder?
@@ajs41 -- A good question. I generally stay at the Courtyard Diplomatic Quarter, and I've seen plenty of women business travelers there, several who seemed to be traveling alone. That said, they're likely not visiting the more depressed areas; more likely working with contacts in the government, or with Aramco. And that isn't substantially different than working with business people anywhere else, at least since MBS started making changes in women's rights there.
@@ajs41 نعم يمكن القدوم والتجول ولا يجب عليك لبس العباية لاكن يجب احترام الثقافه وعدم ارتدا ملابسه قصيره جدا
Not very nice to their women are they?
@@CarolFremel-my4hs If they are not kind to their wives, why do they buy more jewelry for their wives than the rest of the world, and most institutions and companies register in the wives' name? It is known that Muslim men do not wear jewelry because it is forbidden, but it is permissible for a female to do so. And the country is most keen on the comfort and privacy of Saudi women. My wife or daughter can go and walk at two in the morning without any problem, but can your wife do that in your country?
I’m in Saudi right now for work. It’s been amazing seeing the new levels of freedom, economic growth and development that SO strongly contrast my experiences here 9 years ago. The sense of relief is palpable. The Saudis have always treated me well but now there is an unreserved openness and friendliness that reminds me of Egypt. I hope good things for the people of Saudi, and pray that as they explore new avenues of freedom that it doesn’t just turn into new burdens brought on by the same moral pitfalls we suffer from in the west. Enjoy these new paths, KSA, but do so, wisely.
Not a woman, then.
freedom ? can you smoke bud?
@@cryptoruntzlmao still get thrown in jail in America for it too
@@joshburns6101 never lmao i’m in cali and people smoke on streets , cars doesn’t matter . cops don’t give af

The second person is such a liar. Nobody got jailed for not praying or having a tattoo
He is doing many haram things; shame on him. Saudi police need to crack down on such people
Yup.....he just want to do Haram things....

@@kingdomdeen4105 lol straight to contradicting the "such a liar" thing
استغرب من بعض المواطنين الذين عندهم مشاكل ومعتقدات سواء كانت خاطئة او صحيحة ويشاركونها مع سائح جاء لبلدك ليس لك انت فقط
السائح عندما يأتي يريد اكتشاف ثقافة الشعب الجميلة وأخلاقهم ويريد اكتشاف معالم البلد والمناظر الطبيعية
السائح لايريد ان يستمع لمشاكلك مع نفسك وتنكرك لناس الطيبة في بلدك
الرجاء احترام السياح واعطائهم صورة حسنة عن بلدنا
أو على الأقل قل خيرا ام اصمت
كفو عليك وصلت الكلام اللي كنت ابي اوصله
مجودي
اتفقققق
كانه ذا السائح جاي علشان يسمع مشاكله الفارغه 🙂
بالضبط اخخخخخخخ
انت تعرف الثاني من وين جا ؟؟؟؟ من بريطانيا عشان كذا الاوشام وحبيبه 😂 ...
متأثر ذا🤭 اللي كذا متأثرين بذي الطريقه يجيك عنصري شوي تجاهه بلده وبس يقعد ينتقد مدري ليه 🤷♀️... ويشوف الاشياء السلبيه بس ..
وبصراحه اعطا انطباع انه احنا قبل الرؤيه نحزن وبعد الرؤيه اخذنا الحريه !!!!!! وهذا غلط مره احنا عايشين حياتنا مرتاحين من قبل الرؤيه ...وبعد الرؤيه تغير لشي جديد وحلو برضوا ... احنا مرتاحين من قبل هذا مجنون يعطي معلومات من كيسه !! 🤦♀️
شكرًا لك هذا الكلام اللي بقوله وماعرفت كيف اوصله، من جد السائح جاء للسياحه ليرى ثقافات وعادات ، مو جاي عشان يحل لك مشاكلك وتقعد تتحلطم له وتقول قصه حياتك 😂😂
I as Iranian girl wish to have these amazing changes in our country Iran soon and by the way so happy to see happy people of Saudi …I hear much from ben Salman but I don’t know Saudi people are so hospitable people nice good video 👍
With the re-establishment of diplomatic relations between Saudi & Iran, I think changes are going to start soon in Iran :)
stop mutaa and things will improve
@@docb4304legit there is a guy living with his girlfriend in a hotel together in this very same video you are commenting on. Are you on something?
As a citizen of the US, and having traveled internationally quite extensively (not yet to Saudi Arabia), this video is superb. I just found your content today and can not recommend more highly. Great work!
I spent almost my whole life in Germany. I got the opportunity to move to Saudi Arabia, a country, that sounds strange and dangerous for Europeans, mostly because all we know is from media. When I arrived in Saudi, it was (as expected) a different world. But it was a world that fell in love with within a couple of days. So many nice and polite people. So much Respekt, I was welcomed by every single person. I came to the conclusion that the beauty of a country depends significantly on the people. I am still in Saudi and I still love this country like the first day.
So the media lies just like they do to us in the US
Dear Nikolaus, judging from your name I am guessing you have greek origins and you are Christian. If this is the case I would like to ask you if you are allowed to pray in a church in Saudi Arabia. Also, am I allowed to walk outside wearing shorts? 😉😉😉
@@kostinann there are no churches in Saudi Arabia and they don’t permit the construction of them, to the government, the country thag is the home of the holiest sites in Islam shouldnt really have any other religious sites in the country, that goes for all religions other than Islam, practice is allowed in private but not in public
@@yusufhood1885 I was being sarcastic by the way with my questions. I do know the rules/law in Saudi Arabia and I am extremely happy I live in a country where all religions are practiced freely, women have the same right as men etc..
@@kostinann Since there is no Christian church there, I cannot pray, but since I don’t give a dime on praying, since religion is on the bottom part of my list, I don’t care. Don’t get me wrong, I respect EVERY Religion, this is not meant in a derogatory way. Of course you can wear shorts, but as in any civilized environment you are not allowed to wear shorts e.g. in a theatre or a Upper class restaurant.
This hospitality is so rare here in the west, that if someone in London offered me a free ride if think I was gonna be robbed. Sad but true, and the media paints these countries as dangerous, full of "scary" bearded people, how ignorant we are to lap it up blindly.
Very hospitable de Saudi. Meanwhile, I would probably lapidated for being a woman. The media paints... grow up, almighty man 🤢
@@Victoria-rl4cu Silence feminazi
True 💯💯❣️🌹
@Levi Ackerman yeah !! Yeah !! Saudi men will respect a woman if she walks around like a ninja or zombie. By the way, Mecca is not a holy place because you have toilets in there just like those night clubs having toilets!!!
Felix C I'll keep silence whenever I choose, and not when a dimwit tells me
I’m from the US and lived in the Middle East for 5 years and I can honestly say it was the best chapter of my life by far. I would go back in a heartbeat if the opportunity presented itself. I found the culture to be way more peaceful and happy than the American culture and the Arabs are awesome people.
I spent a couple of months in Israel back in '99, and the Palestinian people were the best. Super friendly, always hospitable, and so many grads from Texas A&M LOL! I live in Mexico now, and the pace here is so much easier than the US. We don't plan on ever going back.
They were only nice to you because you were foreign and white, they had to make sure they leave good impression. No matter how long you live there you'll never be part of the community, never will become citizen or have same benefits as people who were born there. If you were any other race you'd never get that treatment. It's not a good place to live, women don't have as much freedom or place of significance as men do. Lots of laws etc. Just because you had a great experience doesn't mean it's a good place to live
@@josephsmith961its only nicer there because you could afford to live in a nicer place there, it's cheaper. US has lots of nice places, you just can't afford, that's why you left to Mexico
You are always welcome back in the Middle East, Arabs love everyone and we welcome everyone as if they are family. Thank you for spreading the kind words about your experience, much love 🙏🏼
@@zeevkeane6280 Shukran 🙏🏼
Wow, this is amazing! I was there for a few years right before all the reforms. Happy to see it happen, and I really miss the Saudi people. The most hospitable people I have met anywhere in the world.
Saudi arabia is the biggest shit hole on the planet
Wow, haha. I laughed when that guy just offered you a ride out of nowhere and even showed you around. Freakin amazing! 😂
Saudis usually do that tho, i see that in most vlogs. If its not a ride, might suddenly just ask you to sit down, grab coffee and give you cloaks as gifts 😂😂 might as well bring you home for dinner on first meet 😂😂 try and look out for other vlogs too
@@izzati.888 lmao I saw other vlogs that ppl who went there have the same hospitality tho
@@KimAhrina11 yeah
@@izzati.888 I think they do this to Europeans and Americans
I've seen many Asians working there and they have never received the same level of LOVE from these Saudis
@@Regular.Biceps really ? Hmmm who knows tho. Because arabs somehow are also considered asians 😂😂 as well as desi people. I assume you meant southeast asians or what ?
محمد الثاني ماهو عارف ايش التطور...مدري من قرر ان الوشم وتطلع مع حبيبتك وذي الاشياء معناتها تطور...؟
و الله ذي الأشكال تشوه المنظر الحضاري للسعودي
muad Alshameeri ايه. جزء من التطور انك تكون حر
Sandy Boy ايش يعني حرية...الحريه هي الحرية الشخصيه في الاشياء الصحيحه كا حرية الاكل الشرب طريقة اللبس وطريقة الحياة بشكل عام مالم يدخل فيها الاشياء الخطاء... ادا دخل في الحرية شي خطاء كذا اصبح ضرر على المجتمع واكبر دليل الانسان ادا بغا ينتحر ليش الشرطة توقفه ماهي حرية بكيفك ينتحر... وكلنا نعرف اضرار الوشم والعلاقات الغير شرعية والخمور وغيرها من الاشياء الي انشرت ذي الايام تحت مسمى الحرية عشان حنا بشر نحب نسوي الاشياء الخطاء نحطها تحت مسمى الحرية...
muad Alshameeri طيب ماتمنع الببسي والبرجر بالمره دامك حريص على سلامة الناس
Sandy Boy طيب ليش اضياف اشياء سلبية للمجتمع ادا اصلاً في اشياء سلبيه الي فينا يكفينا...
Peter, I have to thank you for such an invigorating video which truly revised my entire outlook on Saudi Araba. And to think these social changes were recent. But, hey, better late than never I always say! I also find it inspirational that it is the new generation of young people who are making these changes possible! Thanks again for an impeccable vid!
Been living in Saudi Arabia and I can say that hospitality of the people is one of the best asset of the country.

Mo is so cool! Great video. Thanks for showing us something that we know nothing about. I travel a lot with my job and have learned that we are much more alike than different in this world.
I used to work in Riyadh 10 years ago when life was much more restrictive. I also enjoy city-walking and was stop by the "department for abolition of vice and promotion of virtue" for drinking my Starbucks coffee on the terrace during prayer time. I am so happy to see the CHANGE. I did not believe the authorities would have it in them to open up on social restrictions. What a powerful move with powerful results: a happy and prosperous nation focused on building their future. Thank you for this video. I look forward to watch the rest of the series and others!
Wow! That Muhammad guy who drove him around was so freaking nice. Talk about a nice welcoming!
All the Saudis like Muhammad
@でッ nope, your wrong bud
The second guy 😂😂😂 I hope everyone knows he is chatting lol they don’t take u to jail if u don’t go mosque!
@Aquaman Aqua I am brown too, I live in Saudi Arabia because it is my country, and I can Guarantee that I never saw anyone hate on a person just of their skin, where their from, Their abilities, in fact, I had black friends, and had friends that their abilities is much short then me, and I had friends that lived in another country.
@でッ Black people are treated better in Saudi Arabia than in the US tbh.
I like how a random guy became an instant tour guide. Such nice ppl out there. Gotta visit Saudi soon!! ❤🇨🇦
Will be glad to have you here ❤️🇸🇦🇨🇦

they treat migrant workers from south and southeast asia like shit tho
@@alfaseeds13 I am really sad to hear that. I am myself a migrant in Canada from North Africa and I hope to be treated fairly and equally like others if not like this specific tourist. Peace✌
@@howtodoit5466
This is not true. We treat everyone as equal, and on the contrary, we treat them more kindly. Some may deal badly, but this is up to himself and not to the whole people. Thank you
I’ve been living and working in Saudi,year five now and honestly have to confirm that local people are really really nice and hospitable. I’m white european and never had any problem with locals. Their mentality is different indeed, but Saudi is not Europe nor USA,so that’s not a problem ofc. I’d like to highlight SAFETY in Saudi,there’s no need to be worried at all. Greetings from Riyadh👋😊🇸🇦🇨🇿
I went to Saudi this year. I learned so much about the country in university. I simply had to go in person. It was such a unique and interesting experience. I have never seen happier kids than Saudi kids and I have travelled to many countries… Saudi kids were only laughing and running around. Kids like the ones in the video were what I would see. I didn’t see 1 upset Saudi kid. Honestly, I was in shock!
Western media show a wrong image of the Saudi people. They were very nice and hospitable.
Some Saudis were very surprised to see I was a tourist. They thought I was a tourist in their city, but couldn’t believe I was a tourist in their country 😄
We’re not used to tourists… it’s still something new started these last few years. But everyone is welcome at anytime 🤍
Saudis are really friendly even to Strangers. They are proud of their culture and hometown.
Wishing their Kingdom good luck.

@@5Zigen391 why are you just spreading hatred ?
@@yaseenmalik1755 when did I spreading hatered....?
@@5Zigen391 I'm a Muslim. If you comments on a Christian country , by saying their culture is brilliant and a Christian brother says to you " the God is Jesus " , how would be your reaction ? How does it feels ? I see many muslims writing such statements especially in the reply section unfortunately. We cannot stop the drinking of a drunken beggar on one switch tap. Only by bit by bit. Similarly you have to go. You can start by saying how generous we Muslims are and such teachings of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. And gradually increasing the pace. I have seen this mistake from many bros and sis. In their mind they might say : " what's this Muslims comment like this in every platforms ? , Why are they inserting religion to everything , and so on. Don't pave out the way for Shaitan to misguide them. May Allah bless you brother

I am so envious of this guy!!!!! So relaxed and go with the flow. How he said the first 24 hrs were his favorite because you don’t know anything, your getting things dialed in, figuring out the lay of the land. That’s my absolute worst!!!! I hate being out of the loop, being unsure. I need to take a page from this guys book, RELAX!!!! It’s ok to not have it figured out.
Damn I lived in Riyadh for 2 years and could have made some kick ass videos here! It’s amazing how much the country has changed in the 7 years since I left. Great work Peter!

I'm pleased to hear that Saudi Arabia is moving away from its strict religious laws. I appreciate his statement(11:53) about how the religious individuals might not change. It's good to see that he's returned home and is now enjoying a fulfilling life with his girlfriend.
For us as Saudis, we cannot abandon our religious rules and do not allow anyone to indoctrinate us with religious teachings. As for tourists, I am happy to see them in Saudi Arabia, provided that they respect our religion. Otherwise, we do not welcome it, and we are not ready to receive it
Really interesting videos mate, just subscribed!
I literally had the same experience at the 4:00 mark. Walking down the street in Dhahran Saudi Arabia in 1991 right after desert storm, and a guy asks me if I want a ride. He took me all over for three hours and even saw Bahrain.
I would be too nervous to go with a random person no matter the country
@@Victoria-rl4cu not sure how it is there now after the crown prince reforms, but i would recommend you only stay within the good parts of the city, arab states in general have a very small cops per capita since they aren't required much, compared to other countries, we follow the "prevention is better than a cure" philosophy.
i was pretty spooked when i first went to london and kept seeing cops everywhere, thought the city was in crisis or something.

You really sound like you give about human beings... I like that.
But let’s talk about the reality, because you sound like you’re living in a movie. We Muslims don’t want libéralisme, because it’s subjective, it’s baseless. It’s just about what white people find okay, it’s the white mens sensibility. Like having sex with your own sister, having sex with animals, homosexuality, and more of these disgusting things are freedom in your eyes. But it’s madness in our eyes. We DONT want it. You can’t force your taste upon us. Talking about animal, go clean your own mess first, people are starving in USA. They kill each other for 1 gram cocaine. Look at the crime statistics, you would almost think the USA is a war zone. You guys think letting your sister or wife walk half naked is freedom, well, we don’t share this opinion. And don’t talk like your the president of the USA. “ we will invade you” bla bla bla. You will do nothing my friend. Saudi Arabia is holy, there are 1.8 billion Muslims who will drink your blood if you put one step into that land.
Roy Amstrong If you’re Americans you are the last to talk about human rights!! Saudi chopped a journalist in a consulate but the biggest defender was your stupid filthy inhuman Trump
All Saudis are sweet to white people. 😊
Casa Negra Well I live in central London and I have met homosexual Saudis who come here and do things you wouldn’t believe. Some are sent by their families to hide their cocaine and heroine habits! And please don’t talk about sleeping with sisters when you marry your first cousins. Everything happens in Saudi Arabia but it’s all hidden under the carpet but you can’t fool people, the whole world has seen what Saudi people are like when they leave Saudi and believe me their behavior is not what you call honorable and they have no boundaries! The Arab world looks upon you as traitors who sold out to the West.
We really love saudi arabia
Love you all from Iraq ❤
Very interesting Peter. Thank you! crossing that road looked tricky!🙂
you know whats the funny thing the random dude who was driving you around trying to show you the "trending places" was on the phone talking to his friend telling him " tell me where should i take him give me more nice places " lol

Almost like the driver was being directed by someone. Even more funny is they talked about tax rates and more economic advertising to get people hyped for a new trending city....
🤣
@@brianself4593 you’re thinking way too deep lmfaoo he’s talking to a friend why tf do you Americans thing everything is about underground hidden propaganda Loool😂😂
@@lets_wrapitup Probably because we have a lot of underground shit going on other countries don’t know about. Only natural to think others have the same but I guess everyone isn’t as secretive about their intentions
dude was so happy to see him in his country on his first day, almost like first day of school, we should all be like this
The peoples kindness & generosity astounds me it show what Real Muslims look like, this is what Mohammed preached ❤ love generosity charity❤
That was amazing. Thanks. Loving your videos.
I backpacked through the Middle East some years ago and found more hospitality and kindness than anywhere I've been in North America.
@MrLewisbate depends on where you are. People who live in the Midwest are very nice and generous people. But people on the west coast are not very nice.
Go live there

@@rob2326 I'm also Jewish and fed up with the mass media, in cahoots with corrupt governments, spewing half truths about other peoples and cultures. I realize there is good and bad everywhere, but believe me, the people I've met on my journey's are just like you and me. Politics get in the way of peaceful human interaction.
Yes, in developed areas..... Not everywhere is like that. Just like other developed countries, there are bad areas as well.
I am working with Saudi nationals and I can tell you they are genuinely kind and hospitable. Gulf countries are definitely a cross raod between modern west infrastructure and Islamic arabic culture and customs. Also, I can honestly tell you I never felt safe in the street like I did in the Gulf. It is worth visiting and have your own experience.
That is true
How safe is a western woman walking down the street?
@@ian7033-qj9wg super safe trust me , forget about what media show to other side of the world (west)
Safety with a degree of 100. Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the Emirates are the strongest countries in safety, and their people are very kind

Unfortunately, the foreign world sends a bad image of them to hate because of this and they live a beautiful and rich life and one of the richest countries

All the West believes Saudi Arabia is not a sophisticated country and that's funny.😂
Outstanding! Loved the video. Thank you.

The second person is a liar and he says many things are not real
yes he is so annoying
Yah it’s gahbah ! as you say
He is so cringy
I love how you opened the video with "this is about Saudi people, not Saudi politics". People get so hung up about the political situation in any area that we can forget that these places are filled with normal people just like us going about their lives.
When those normal people in Yemen going about their lives have a bomb dropped on them at least they can take solace in the fact that there are citizens of the government dropping the bombs who are just like them.
As a proud Saudi arabian I agree
You'll find that almost everywhere. The people are great. The politicians and politics, not so much.
Even if you say this is about Saudi culture, it’s still a despicable place in terms of the way they treat women. “Normal” people? You must be a man. There’s nothing “normal” about treating women as slaves and second-class citizens.
And yet no one woman in there. Are 'Saudi people' exclusively men?
New sub m8. Some propper work fella. Lov ur vids. As I See them the last week or so. Av u ever been to Amsterdam?

The second man was lying and does not represent the Saudis. He represents himself. All he said was just slander and lying.
yea thats right wtf that man dont understand
He's not Muslim you idiot
I eat Water who tf said he’s muslim
I eat Water and you drink water
It's a plan work ,that is how westerners did ,they will be doing like they dont know anything but they are doing that to tarnish the image of muslims ,wicked people
I remember when I was lost and away from my family and 2 people stopped and asked if I am okay since I was crying (i was 13 btw) they asked if I was okay where is my family are you lost and one of them offered to give me a ride I was worried about that but then his wife came out with her kids and told me it’s fine you will be safe with them, and than they drove to the police station stayed with me until my family came back, that was the sweetest thing that ever happened to me and I’m planning to go there again after covid.

I worked in Saudi for a few months, Damman, Riyadh and Jeddah - they were the absolute nicest, most hospitable people you could ever wish to meet. They really made me feel welcome.

I love the work you are doing to show the world how unaware we all are of other human beings and their lives in the societies they find themselves caught up in. Cool changes are without a doubt rising everywhere.
@𝙿𝚎𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚂𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟹 Familure with the iroquois confederacy? Much of our constitution was taken from the Great Law of Peace. Oren Lyons is a faith keeper who you really should interview. He is 92 and is well known for his work around the world. Also, research Jake Swamp and the tree of peace. Our nation could use a wake up call! Good blessings on your work!
Hopefully things will change in Russia and Ukraine as well as the States. Such a worry. We need to solve some very serious problems in this world and we should not have to worry about getting killed by our fellow man; climate change and inflation and crime to name a few.

Second Man was lying
Love Saudia Arabia from Pakistan
even if he was lying the freedom he was talking about was a disaster, if it is true then the workers from our countries will also enjoy their women alot , since there are women in the middle age no body marries them , there desires high.
100 % lie
Yeah thats right
Can you tell me what he is lying about?
Because Arabi people had alot of Ego problem. Yeah they respect Americans but they dont give a shit about other countries like india pakistan bangladesh etc. I spend more than 3 years over there and i am sharing my personal experience.
That man not represent saudies people he has a false thinking
Ya bro same iam thinking ...i just feel i will hate saudi cause reason is saudi is known place for islam...and islam will never force...
@Callum Hudson-Odoi sure believe this one random dude in the mall. People like you will believe anything you listen in the media.

Having a tattoo and girlfriend doesn’t mean EVOLVE

develop gradually, especially from a simple to a more complex form
What exactly about this is not an evolution of culture? Honestly you’re just a stuck up bitch 🙂
A grandiose ideal or aspiration such as civil liberties, human rights, or individual freedom can materialise through the simple, tiny personal choice, like getting a tattoo.
That guy is a kafer
The progress is that he CAN. It's not the governments business to tell people what they can and can't do as long as it doesn't affect others around them
Never expected Saudi to be so different, compared to what the West say about it, this is why I love these TH-cam travel channels. Perspectives you’ll never expect.

I spent awhile working there a few years ago. I was initially petrified, but it quickly was shown to me how nice the people are, how clean the country is, and how good the food is
Got some nice head job from maids. lol.
@@heidikarinen563 Maids in Saudi Arabia are always from poor countires like Malaysia or Vietnam. A Saudi woman would never work as a maid and also would never fuck a white guy.
Nice if you’re a man. If you’re a woman however you are second class citizen.
@@On_The_Piss is this what your extremely racist ’’news’’ channels has ’’informed’’ u with
@@On_The_Piss . Women who want to write a thesis about women in the middle east, leave with a different idea and then return with a different tune. Why??? Simple Q? A woman keeps crying loudly inside an elevator or park and nobody comes to save her until she is raped and only the surrounding public comes with stories the next day, we heard her cries, we heard her cries but never dared to go or dial 911, in the meantime the goon tells, "see you have cried three times and nobody came, if you cry once more, I am going to slit off your throat and you know what would have happened after that? I have read thousands of such news. I was riding a bus overseas in Pakistan when I heard a commotion in the next seats. One lady yelled at some goon for his inappropriate remarks and 10 guys stood up asking."Sister, you got some problem due to this guy?" and that goon slipped away in the meantime as he knew she had got help. Now in which situation woman should feel safe when she just raises her voice and ten men come to her help taking her as their own daughter, sister or mother, or when a girl keeps crying at night inside elevator or park or keeps banging door until she is ready to get raped? Draw your own conclusion. Peace!!
Thank you for such a informative video! The culture changes are extremely interesting and the Welcoming of you as a American is lovely 😊
Never been in Saudi Arabia, The economic center masterplan model was so good, Kinda reminded me of Dubai.
it's quite similar to dubai in many ways. they funnel their oil money into projects like this, and modernize in regards to social customs and PR, in the hope that when the oil runs out and the world transitions away from fossil fuels they can sustain themselves via being a business/trade hub. i don't think it will work out in the long term (see: neom - absolutely delusional colossal waste of money, consultants laughing all the way to the bank) but you can't fault them for trying. and while i haven't been to saudi, I have been to dubai, and in terms of architectural grandeur and the friendliness and politeness of the people, it really is beautiful in its own way. but the ugliness is still there, just buried in the sand.
They’re getting there
It's a garbage place bro
I just ended my contract as a nurse in Riyadh. The past 18 months have been great! Got into vlogging because i want people to know how beautiful Saudi arabia is. ❤

I worked there from 1983-1984 in the radiology department of a hospital and the Saudi people were very kind. The country was so beautiful in its own desert way. I did have a few bad experiences such as being attacked with sticks by the religious belief because my jeans, long sleeved men’s shirt and knee length coat still revealed too much LOL! But overall an amazing experience that I’m grateful for.
The second guy seems crazy because a lot of information he said about Saudi Arabia not true.
Exactly ik people wit tattoos and have seen people with tattoos it's a lie
I am not from Saudi Arabia and didn't like what he said either 🧐
Abdulaziz Saud IKR
Abdulaziz Saud Is publicity. They are selfish and ignorant. They are rich but they can’t help others Muslims like them who are dying with hunger and wars.
I know
Wow. This video has changed my perspective about Saudi
Hello Sir in Saudi Arabia. Thanks for being so kind to Peter. Freedom/Peace so important. You young people can make it happen and keep it that way. Love from a Texas Grandmother.🎉
My guess is that Saudis hang out in malls because it's so hot outside
That's the reason same in southern Pakistan like Karachi
Agreed 101%
yup. and people usually hang out or spend a lot of time outside at night because it's very hot outside when the sun is up
v tru
the air conditioning literally is so cold loll
i like how he's going from one car to another with strangers he dosent know
Feels scripted, like someone paid him to make video to promote saudi, when a normal western person goes there you get kiddnapped and tortured?

I have visited entire Europe, and much more, but never had a volunteer giving me free tours around city. I thought this was so generous!
It's a different culture and harder to run into some rich minority, driving around & getting excited at the sight of a foreign stranger... besides, we see it as quite dangerous to get into the car of someone you don't know, as well as picking up random ppl. (who might rob you or wtv)
Saudi and most middle East countries had low crime rate due to their Islamic law..they are not living in fear.. that's why they not afraid to offer a ride to stranger..
I will drive you for free
@@---sy2wb It wouldn't even be advisable for tourists (especially wealthy tourists), to get into the cars of random ppl in Europe. It is generally considered suspicious, if someone is overly nice to you, for no reason. Or offers you things for free... different culture.
@Blake D Yeah, but there are other dimensions of SA life in which you dearly pay for all this.. with ur freedom.
These things don't come cheap.
Religious people will never change alhamdulillah 👍✅
Happy for the positive changes there. Also, my goodness they have some marvelous architects. Such aesthetic buildings.
I was adopted at six and moved to Saudi Arabia where I lived for nine years total. I'm so excited to see your experiences as Riyadh was one of my favorite places to live in all six countries I've lived in.
The one correction I'll make about something Mohammad said is the head scarfs (Hijabs). I moved there in 2000 and never wore a Hijab unless I was having a bad hair day. I know there were different rules for Saudis vs. expats, but yeah, the only times that the religious police would attempt to tell us to cover our hair was during Ramadan. But headscarfs aren't really a legal term thing, it's religious, and I barely ever wore it out. So it's not something that became legal two years prior to your video being posted.
