honestly im so glad you got to experience some of our food and culture because judging from the first videos here in saudi where you were eating from supermarkets i did not think you would get to experience our authentic culture and visit local markets and try local food im so glad you got to see some of it i hope you have a wonderful time and safe travels in all you're journeys best of luck
Thank you so much! We had a wonderful time and met so many amazing people. Yes, we started off with Al Baik and supermarket meals, but ended up eating such delicious Saudi Arabian food! I really miss those dates... the best I've ever tried 😃😁
so glad that you enjoyed your trip in the Eastern province! not many people come to visit the area in Saudi, but it has such a rich and incredible history, culture, food and people!
I love these videos. A lot of people think they won't have fun or be accepted in saudi arabia but you have shown by your experience that its quite the opposite. ❤
It's so lovely to hear that you are looking forward to this video! There'll be at least 2 more videos from Al Ahsa as we had such an amazing time there 😃😁
Yes, it is the name of a popular chicken and rice dish in Saudi Arabia! So funny how many different languages use "mandi" or similar sounding words... mehndi in Hindi for "henna"; mandi in Bahaasa for "to shower"... and I'm sure there are more 😃😁 ~ Mandy
We were in Saudi Arabia in January. As we take so much footage ,ie we made 3 videos of our 3 days in Jeddah, it means that our videos are always behind. 5 days in Kuwait = 5 videos = 5 weeks worth of videos
Thank you for your interest in our culture and welcome to Saudi Arabia💚💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you! 🙏 We had such an amazing time in Saudi Arabia, which is why we made so many videos 😁😃

10:07 I believe this is called Mokhammar, an Ahsaic drink or syrup. It takes a year long to prepare one bottle.
That's so interesting! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this information 🤗🙏

Oh I recognise those palm strips - we had them woven into crosses at church on palm Sunday. I'm presuming it's the same thing.

And winter in Saudi Arabia ended 3-4 months ago.
