    I went to Saudi Arabia two months ago with my friend. I do not hide from you. I was afraid because of our fake corrupt American media telling us that it is not a good country, but the moment I got there I was shocked by the beauty, progress and civilization of Saudi Arabia. It is a very very beautiful country. If I had listened to the false and corrupt American media, I would not have gone to Saudi Arabia to learn about its beauty and the beauty of its civilization. She is very beautiful and the people are good.

      Yes, it’s really a shame of western media to keep us in the dark of what countries really are like. I don’t think the media in the west have even spoken about all the changes Saudi has gone through specifically from 2017. No wonder Saudi often refuse western media entry because they j know it will just be another hit piece to scare us away.
      Jeddah and Riyadh have become two of the worlds most futuristic cities, with many tech start ups.
      Before 2017, most nationalities couldn’t just fly into Saudi. We needed an invite from someone in Saudi. Now we easiky get 3 months visa 9n arrival, six months is possible as well.
      Service is top notch, it’s super clean and super safe.
      Women can drive, they don’t have to wear niqab or coverings if they don’t want to (in the big cities), however in small villages they are more conservative. I always prefer to be on the safe side and respect the counties culture (cover shoulders, knees etc.
      I love that place.

      @@SailingAquarius I just found your channel and enjoy that you film such an honest picture of what it’s like where ever you go. I’m glad you like Jeddah, it’s supposed to have great diving, snorkeling so hopefully you check that out.
      I saw your crossing and visit to Socotra.. As a former sailor, that looked horrifying. Glad you made it and the boat passed it with flying colors.
      All those kids coming for you on the tender looked so uncomfortable , whoa! almost a bit scary. They don’t behave like westerners as the manners differ greatly it seems like. Very Interesting to see though. Same with all the hitch hikers. Yikes!! I don’t think Zatara showed any of that in their videos from there lol 😂 Would have loved to hear Keith’s honest opinion as I’m sure he would have used some colorful language, at least when camera was off!
      Maybe they don’t show it so others get scared going there because their channel has a lot of subs, and has gotten more commercialized, maybe Becasue if nr of do,lowers and they din5 wan5 to paint a country , place bad, but it should be genuine, like your videos, that’s what 8n prefer anyway. I watch Zatara every week and think they’re doing a fantastic job on their channel, but it’s nice t9 have several channels t9 watch, giving different perspectives from many of the same places.
      Btw, that hospital looked cleaner and newer than in some western countries!! Never imagined that after seeing the roads, buildings, rubble everywhere on your way there.
      Hope you are both well and have a wonderful time exploring! Thanks for sharing your journey.
      Take care

    Nice and unusual, and I'm looking forward to the next one. I'll be honest; my first thought was "ooo, she better cover up..". My parents lived in Abha for quite a while (my dad was working there), and I visited in '96. Western women were asked to dress appropriately to their custom. The diving at Jeddah was amazing, and the place is pretty stunning. Definitely a men's world. Getting from Abha to Jeddah was some of the scariest driving I've ever been part of. That YC looks absolutely amazing and true to form.

    Welcome to Saudi Arabia, my advice to you is to land near the islands of the cities of Al-Wajh and Umluj, as they are one of the most beautiful islands in Saudi Arabia, then go to the city of Al-Ula, which is one of the wonders of the world and is rich in archaeological treasures, and the discoveries still do not stop. You can visit Madinah Al-Munawwarah as well.
    The cities of the Red Sea are distinguished in diving due to the large number of coral reefs. Many go to Yanbu for diving
    The city of Sharma and Qayal is within the boundaries of the NEOM city project and its beaches are also beautiful

    Try to sail and visit Jeddah resort&marina Durrat Al-arous, Indigo, or silver Beach.
    KAUST and KAEC also, very near to you less than 100km and they have very cool harbors and anchorage . 300km away from Jeddah there is the historical port and town of Yanbu as well.
    If you can continue your journey along the cost there are two mega projects under constructions: The Redsea project is a 200km along the cost line, and next to will be NEOM project which gona be around 400 km till the border of Jordan, my point is everything will change from next year and this the last time you can see those rare virgins islands and coast, before being developed and full of resorts and tourists.
    .
    You can anchor in Umluj or Tabuk to visit the heritage sites in AL-Ula, which most be visited since you already in Saudi Arabia.

    Well guy’s, I follow you since years now, really appreciate your videos. I’m glad you have such a good time in Saudi Arabia, but I must say, I wish you would’ve been a bit critical. Since it’s well known that According to the Global Gender Gap Report, the country ranks in one of the world's last places in women's rights. Freedom of expression does not exist, and punishments such as amputation, stoning, flogging and the death penalty are regularly carried out, the latter also for homosexuality. However, a cautious "modernization" of society is initiated under the currently de facto ruling Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Fair winds and have a safe trip further into the Mediterranean.
