As an expat working in Saudi Arabia, my observations are; it is one of the safest countries, people are very friendly once you talk to them, food is amazing : )
As a Saudi who travels a lot, I noticed that safety point as well. All the places I’ve traveled to I have witness crime on the street. Not done to me, but I was a direct eye witness to countless crimes on the street and that never happened once in all my life living in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain are one of the most successful Muslim countries with low crime rates, gulf nations are one of the safest countries thanks to their laws and culture. ❤️❤️
I'm a lebanese that was born and raised in Saudi Arabia before moving to Germany. I visited a lot of countries but Saudi arabia the only place that feels like home. My little home sweet home ❤️🏡
It is nice of you to write this 🧡 And brother we will always be glad to meet new people and make them like they are at home.. This how we grew up and raised, and this is how we are going to raise our children and convey it to our descendents. Wish you always happier day in Saudi Arabia and everywhere
I just got back from Riyadh 3 weeks ago. I am actually considering moving there I loved the city so much. I felt safer there than I do in Toronto. Highly recommend anyone to visit. Just be respectful of the country and people and you'll have the best time!
@@ezazshah4908 it’s possible saudi immigrant pop is growing fast i live here and there’s no inch where i don’t see foreigners they can live here and enjoy it
Yeah I met a girl from Croatia living and working there with the airlines and a British guy living there with the embassy. You obviously have to have a job to live there so it’s totally possible
As an American who has a dream to visit Saudi Arabia, this video really defines what it’s like to really a explore a new world beyond your own, and it’s amazing! السلام عليكم السعوديه، احب من امريكا 🙏🏻💚
I'm from Yemen and I was born and raised in Saudi Arabia, I lived most of my life there but I had to move abroad a few years ago, I never feel home anywhere except in Saudi Arabia. Miss all the memories that I left in Riyadh and tbh Saudis are one the kindest people I've ever lived among. God bless this country and may one day I get to come back.
As a Saudi, I resist watching these videos, I thought it would be another misrepresentation video, but I really enjoyed this! You know how to spend your time. P.s: regarding the visa and what you had to sign, I wish you could see what we go through as Saudis to apply for American visas, we are treated like guilty until proven otherwise, and when we’ve arrived to NYC, people rudely took pictures of us because we were wearing abayas. In short, misrepresentation from both sides.
Lol they actually take our phones, belts, and wallets outside the consulate. At the airport in Houston they once held me for over an hour, took my phone and asked for it to be unlocked, asked for all my college transcripts, and a bunch of questions in the process.
"Why most of the places are deserted, like no one else is there" -> It's because of the hot weather, most people stay indoors during the day until 6pm-7pm. People usually goes out at round 7pm-8pm especially after Isha prayer. Stores closes at around 12AM. During Ramadan, stores closes at around 5AM.
2:18 To be fair Saudi Arabia is the country which hosts the two holiest cities in Islam; Mecca and Medina so the strict cultural rules are fully understood. If tourists want to visit Saudi they must respect the culture and traditions and if they have a problem then don’t visit.
Good luck reaching the 100 million tourists goal then lol if you guys don’t adapt, the west will “cancel” you and goodbye to western tourists and their big juicy wallets
I moved to KSA two years ago with my Saudi husband. All in all, it is a very safe country and the people are very welcoming. I was pretty confused too when I first moved here about why the people are not as active during the day, but I believe it is because 1. the weather, 2. prayer times, and 3. they are just night owls. And just like in the U.S. there are nice parts and not so nice parts. As well as some areas being more conservative than others. But the nightlife is great! And they are big on mocktails, you'll find them everywhere. I love changing peoples perceptions about Saudi, considering most people in the U.S. only know things from the news or film portrayal's. You guys are changing a lot of peoples perceptions!
I’m from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 but let me tell you the truth. Saudi Arabia is one of the safest a country in the world at the same it is one of the best holy places for every one of us and people are so friendly and if you talk about food it is just amazing !!
Once again, you have changed my views of a country through your vlogs. Saudi Arabia definitely is not as scary as I thought it would be. Your interaction with the immigration officer is so uplifting!
Yes, the misleading advertisement of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia An advertisement that wants to sabotage our people We are a peaceful people and we welcome everyone who is welcome. We love foreign visitors and we love to make everyone who wants to visit happy. Welcome, my brothers. Here is your second country 💚🇸🇦
Yes I’m not Saudi but if u go purely based on facts, Saudi Arabia is safer than every country in Europe except for Switzerland, according to the crime rate index
To answer your question about why the mall was deserted, 2 answers: 1. That mall in particular doesn't have much visitors unlike Riyadh Park or Nakheel mall 2. People of Riyadh are people of the night
Surprisingly this video has become one of my favorites. I liked how you guys showed your concerns/fear and then magically surprised me how beautiful the country is and how friendly Saudis are. Thank you I’m looking forward to the rest of the videos in SA

I'm from the Philippines and I loved Saudi Arabia too. I thought at first I wouldn't enjoy working here but I was wrong.

As someone who does not like to interfere in politics, but who encourages social openness, what Mohammed bin Salman has done during these short years deserves to be applauded. I will not listen to the Western media because it operates according to agendas and political parties. What I see is that the Saudis are happy and proud, they breathe freedom, entertainment and fun and love the Crown Prince, so why do Western newspapers attack them? Saudi Arabia has become a promising tourist destination, and with the end of the mega projects, it will have a global stature. I have already visited AlUla and have never found such a magical place in my life besides the generosity and love that the Saudis offer me.
I believe that once MBS said that they don't pay for protection but for weapons, Trump told the CIA to destroy his credibility, you should know MBS said that one week before the Kashogi incident.
You said exactly what we Saudis want to say to the world, all these changes are because of the crown prince, never listen to what the western media says about MBS, it’s all lies.
Such beautiful and well structured words. Thank you for enlightening others with such accuracy. You are welcome here anytime my friend. Hope you have a good time 🌹.
I'm Indonesian but I was born and raised in Riyadh until 2019 I moved to Indonesia. I gotta say, Riyadh is a really safe place to stay. I feel more at home in Saudi rather than in my own country 😔 I hope one day will be able to live in Saudi for the rest of my life.

As a Persian, I thought the scene at 23:30 was epic. Those vast valleys have millions of prehistoric tales to tell. Just purely from a geological standpoint, imagine times here when the planet was completely different! When that valley was a lake and with a high-oxygen atmosphere supporting dinosaurs & giant snails to roam here. And Oskar, I heard you say yall love mountains. If so, you're also welcome to check them out as guests in Iran. *Asalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh to Saudis from an Iranian
I'm from Pakistan. And I came to Saudia 20 days back for ummrah and man I love it here. I feel like home and I feel so amazing after performing Umrah that I'm planning to move my work to Saudia soon inshallah ❤️
So thrilled that you guys decided to go for this. Saudi Arabia is such a surprising place and it's absolutely fascinating to see it going through this monumental change in real time!!! Enjoy guys!

Saudi Arabia is the same from so many ways with just an improvement on it, it was amazing and will become more amazing. I am from Jeddah and i have visited almost all cities in the country, you will feel each city has its own vibe like it’s different world.. which is nice :) I feel proud to see people from outside visiting us and feel happy with our culture 💙
Welcome to Saudi Arabia "consider it your second country", I hope you really enjoy Saudi Arabia ,Insha'Allah you will have another visit to us and you are in good health, take good care of yourselves💚💚
As a Saudi knowing that my country is one of the safest countries in the world the way they kept saying how CRAZY and INSANE for them to go to Saudi Arabia was so funny to me 🤣
Regarding your question about the Mall, so this is one of the oldest malls in Saudi Arabia and especially in Riyadh ( Mool AlMamlakah or Mall of Kingdom ) and the reason why no one or only few people go there is that there are newer and more modern styled malls such as AlNakheel Mall and Riyadh Park and soon enough there will be one the largest malls in the world which is Saudia Mall. I'm pretty sure Faisal did his best showing you around, I wish he could have showed you Hanifa Valley one of the most beautiful areas we go to in the winter where we camp there, also Riyadh Front which is like a long path with restaurants, cafes, and stores. As a Saudi, I can proudly say that we have come a long way and I hope to see my country the number 1 destination for tourists !
WOW, an amazing video giving a very insightful and balanced view of the country, well done to you both. Please don't leave it too long before posting the next in the series. I can't wait to see more ! !
Beautiful and bless, Saudi Arabia is on my bucket list and MashAllah it’s so beautiful. May Allah bless this beautiful land! Thanks for the vlog guys and enjoy the blessed land of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 ♥️
SA has never been top of my bucket list but definitely always intrigued me. I’m really enjoying this vlog discovery and look forward to the rest of this exciting new adventure! Thank you boys 😇😇 Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
@@fathiabdallahahmed8597 no one think to wear different color because they will be teased by everyone. Show me any pictures of women wear different color from 2000-2010. You can not!
It's the safest place on earth, no drugs,no alcohol, no guns, no rapist, no serial killer,no school shooting, no public nudity or public sexual conduct. So you can choose to be living in a safe country with very minimal crimes like Saudi or living as "free" in a western country like America but with the largest crime rates, largest prisons population and gun violence and rapes in the world. In Saudi even a jewelry shop was not properly locked when the owner go to pray, they just cover it with plastic or curtains and left it and nobody would steal it. TBH i don't want Saudi to change A LOT and starting to look like just another copy cat of western liberal nations that are plague with crimes, sexualism, hedonism and capitalism. Let Saudi stay Saudi with its strict conservatism.
@@xxxamuchixx then you can just stay in your "exciting" country and leave Saudi to the people who love it , I have been in Saudi Arabia 3 times and soon I am gonna move ti live there for the rest of my life so yeah 😌
This is such a insightful experience of Saudi Arabia! Thanks so much for sharing! Man imagine flying a drone at the edge of the world would be such a crazy experience
Man you’ve been lied to for decades, you people don’t read or what? If someone came to you with some news go make a research, confirm the information at least, never seen such ignorance in my life 🤣 Non Muslims have been living here longer than I’ve been alive, we actually had christian neighbors for six years, they were Egyptian and they were amazing people. We just simply don’t have churches and we don’t allow non Muslims to enter two cities, the holy cities 😂
Well, actually non-Muslims can enter Medina, in fact they (the two gentlemen who made this Video) visited Medina and made a Video about it, you can check it on their account
It is not true. Non-Muslims are present in Saudi Arabia and work in universities and hospitals, and their numbers have been large since the founding of the state.
it’s funny how y’all came with the basic western media stereotypes😂 but I hope videos like this help change these ideas And about 11:34 there is a lot of Arabic authentic fast food but unfortunately not in this mall.
Saudi is amongst the safest countries in the world. Every country has its own culture and traditions and foreigners must respect that. In western countries roaming almost naked in the streets is considered civilized and choosing to cover yourself is considered conservative. Was sad at first seeing your reactions and skepticism about Saudi but felt happy that you chose to visit in person and know the reality rather than relying on the fake western propaganda.
@@OskarandDan I appreciate you guys visiting Saudi in person and knowing the truth rather than believing the stereotypes and what the media shows. And in western countries most people are half naked. I have travelled to many countries and I felt middle-east countries are the safest. About propoganda, I meant how the western media is spreading a fake narrative about muslim women being oppressed and stuff. They feel more honored and safe here. No offense .Peace.
I lived in Saudi due to my dad working out there. We lived in a compound but would go out in the day. I loved it! That was 15 years ago. I'd love to go back
Welcome, my friend, Saudi Arabia has changed a lot from the past. We now have a vision of 2030, one of its goals is to diversify the economy and focus on tourism. Huge projects 🤍
Saudi is very welcoming to tourists since 2019 when tourism visas were first issued, and I met people from all around the world in the capital, Riyadh. Most of them speak highly of how hospitable and helpful the people are, and how it's really safe in KSA. That's very reassuring as not too long ago we didn't have a tourism business, except religious tourism if you wanna call it that, and many people abroad are lead to believe that Saudi is almost another planet, while we're all humans at the end of the day. The only reason you got that disclaimer at 2:25 is just so a visitor is aware of the different laws which's actually very nice as in most countries, you'll only know about their unique laws once you're arrested. Saudi welcomes all people and their different beliefs, and you're way less likely to get in trouble here as a tourist than many other places in the world, including western countries, as most people in SA are considerate, especially for tourists, so the only way something might happen after all of these measures is in case of extreme negligence or intentional lawbreaking. 30% of the population aren't even Saudi nationals and are living in Saudi for jobs they hold, and they're appreciated and have been a part of society for decades, so it'd be farfetched to think it's gonna be a big deal for someone staying less than 6 months traveling around as our beloved guests and crimes are either pretty universal or very obvious as soon as you land here with a very basic idea about the Islamic way of life. I personally can't wait to see you and for you to experience what our huge country has to offer! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised ❤️
Say, you two really nailed this alright. I don’t know what was more fascinating, your absolute joy or the scenery. The last time I had been in the kingdom was in 1985 or so quite astounded by the social change. Absolutely stunning in both senses.
As someone who spent most of their childhood in Riyadh, it was so heartwarming seeing you explore the streets I knew like the back of my hand. Although I never loved Riyadh as a city to live in, I do miss it now that I’m too far away. This was so beautiful
I’m really happy you guys enjoyed RIYADH, please I ask from all the viewers who are s scared and hesitated to visit KSA, don’t listen to the media, everything is different from what bad thing’s you hear in news and watch in media, we are way different and 100% better than you think.
Maybe bat we have some rules that takes freedom from others And he is right there is a lot of rules We must have a discussion about to let others feel safe when they come to visit 😊
Yeah, as a Saudi I can see how these disclaimers can be intimidating. But I imagine this will change soon, and they are just taking steps. They can't apply a drastic change instantly. But thank you for giving an unbiased opinion about the country.
I want to visit, but all the rules and the wave of women escaping Saudi recently have me shook. I'm worried how will I be treated as a female visiting Saudi. It looks absolutely wonderful nonetheless so one day following conditions will change so I can change my mind.

Those people our most near and loved for us the Moroccans . Yes , Saudi Arabia is one of the most unique and beautiful countries and definitely worth visiting apart being the place where our Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him born and died . Also it's the place where Makkah the most holy place to us Muslims exist. Saudi Arabia is the best besides Morocco 😘♥️🌹
@@happymolecule8894 Hello brother , in Morocco , I believe you can feel authenticity in every place , so in every city there is the medina which is the ancient city and there is a modern part of the city , and there is also what we call Kasbah which is an ancient city was built for defensive reasons . I personally advise you to visit Tanger , Tetouan and chafchaoen in the north of Morocco then you can visit next Al hociema city ,located east of Tanger , and you go down to Fes and meknes , then to continue there is the capital Rabat and you must visit the Kasbah of LOUDAYA there . After that you must visit Marrakech and go to Agafay desert location and Ouzoud waterfalls , next you can visit Beni Melal city if you want to experience skydiving there , and of course Agadire city . I advise you if you ever come to Morocco to look for a guide it will be very helpful to have a better experiece . I hope my answer was adequate, and welcome to your second home country any time brother ☺️
We planned girls trip to Saudi Arabia next year this video definitely help to actually see how is the city looks like. Looks safe and beautiful country worth to visit👍
glad u made it to KSA, i remember watching ur flight reviews when u said u wouldn't probably flying Saudia due to its country's bad record against LGBTQ but things here is changing so rapidly we expats couldn't even believe its happening. as long as ur not out loud about ur sexually ur good to go here. welcome!

I was born and raised in Saudi Arabia and yes, seeing this transition makes me very happy. It always was one of the safest country in the world and still is. My father came here in 70s. And he saw the first transformation of Kingdom building itself. And now, we are witnessing the second transformation. With Kingdom opening its doors for visitors, it is welcoming them to be part of the incredible Vision 2030 which will make Saudi Arabia one of the leading countries in the world. People are very friendly, generous and welcoming. The experience this country offers is amazing and you'll not get them anywhere.
You're welcome guys . Your reactions before you land in saudi made me laugh😂 . Saudi Arabia is one of the safest countries in the world, and ranked amoung best countries to walk at night safely , we still have some rules to follow like any other country .. maybe little more than some others, but it is different culture than europe and I think this is what makes Saudi exiting to visit . Hope you enjoied it 👍👍
For some reason I thought you have already been to Saudi Arabia. I must have combined all your other Middle East country adventures and assumed that you've been to all the places. And I think I always assumed that all the Middle East countries had this level of restrictions and always found it interesting how freely you have traveled to Qatar, UAE, etc. As a woman I have been interested in how it would be to travel to Middle East countries. Your nervousness around Saudi Arabia travel are what I assumed my experience for all travel to the Middle East would be. This was really so informative.
As a Saudi Arabian Saudi Arabia was locked for tourists back then but Saudi Arabia has opened. For tourist attractions it has a nice culture nice heart warming ppl rlly safe
I like that you respect other cultures. Many westerners aren't that open minded when it comes to cultures that have different values than what they have.
Have been to Saudi twice but never travel around Riyadh. I miss being in Saudi and your video is very pleasing to watch❤ the edge of the world looks amazing!😍
I’ve always been fascinated or intrigued by The KSA so I watched this video with keen interest. Again, your presentation albeit only the initial one, had me captivated. Something about a vlog being narrated by the most likeable ‘boys’ on TH-cam. AND, when the content is of the mysterious Saudi Arabia….this is going to be epic. Looking forward to more… (I follow you too on IG).
Saudi Arabia is known for its wonderful and beautiful diversity and the difference in cultures in it 🇸🇦❤️ We hope that your next destination will be (Ras Al Khaimah). We are pleased with your visit to us and welcome you.
Just to correct something you had mentioned, separated restaurants from men and women are optionals and it is a choice of the restaurant’s owner. There are many restaurants which are not separated like the one you had eaten , there are two women behind you.
Here’s one thing you need to know abt Saudi Arabia is the night life. People usually do go out in mornings or the afternoons because of the hot weather, so you’d see more people, more traffic, more life at night.
Few things to mention: 100 Million Tourists = The deputy minister of tourism (a female btw) mentioned that they were REQUIRED to change their notion of a tourist from someone who visited the country from abroad to it being a person who visits a new CITY even if they were citizens (i.e. domestic tourism) and stayed overnight --to be accounted-for in international tourism ranks. So, a single tourist can be considered x10 tourist if they indeed visited 10 cities. Also, remember than each year millions of people already visit Saudi Arabia for Hajj. Flynas = nas means people in Arabic. Careem is now quite abandoned in Saudi Arabia. Uber is what's dominant. Also, The Kingdom Mall is very old. We no longer visit it. See Riyadh Park, Nakhil Mall, or Riyadh Front instead. For separation between singles and families, these are mostly remnants from a previous time. Many restaurants and cafes that still didn't remove those separations would still have a mixed interior. It is mostly conservative cities and small villages that still have strict separation. Funny enough, a new 24h café around me actually separates between singles and families depending on the crowdedness of the customers. Since it tends to have 1h+ waiting period at times, they do this for 'diversity and equality', to ensure the café doesn't turn into a family café or male café. Most of Riyadh (and Saudi) is not suited for walking because after cars were heavily introduced in the newly-rich Saudi in the 60s, Saudi took-on an American urban planning style which was car-oriented. Sadly, this backfired, and now, there is heavy work on trying to make the city much more human friendly from making megaprojects (e.g. Boulevard, Diriyah Gate, King Salman Park [The greatest in-city park in the world], Qiddiya, Sports boulevard which is a 135km path of walkable spine for Riyadh with towers and centers for culture, art, nature, sports, etc.).

In short, misrepresentation from both sides.
Oh my goodness .. they took photos .. unbelievable..so sorry you went through that . I'm not American, it's not a country I wish to visit
Lol they actually take our phones, belts, and wallets outside the consulate. At the airport in Houston they once held me for over an hour, took my phone and asked for it to be unlocked, asked for all my college transcripts, and a bunch of questions in the process.
I'm sure some of that comes from how most Americans haven't done any real traveling. I wish I had more travel opportunities myself.
كفو عليك عطيهم 😂
"Why most of the places are deserted, like no one else is there" -> It's because of the hot weather, most people stay indoors during the day until 6pm-7pm. People usually goes out at round 7pm-8pm especially after Isha prayer. Stores closes at around 12AM. During Ramadan, stores closes at around 5AM.
Until 3-4pm when its much cooler
2:18 To be fair Saudi Arabia is the country which hosts the two holiest cities in Islam; Mecca and Medina so the strict cultural rules are fully understood. If tourists want to visit Saudi they must respect the culture and traditions and if they have a problem then don’t visit.
Good luck reaching the 100 million tourists goal then lol if you guys don’t adapt, the west will “cancel” you and goodbye to western tourists and their big juicy wallets

I was pretty confused too when I first moved here about why the people are not as active during the day, but I believe it is because 1. the weather, 2. prayer times, and 3. they are just night owls. And just like in the U.S. there are nice parts and not so nice parts. As well as some areas being more conservative than others. But the nightlife is great! And they are big on mocktails, you'll find them everywhere. I love changing peoples perceptions about Saudi, considering most people in the U.S. only know things from the news or film portrayal's. You guys are changing a lot of peoples perceptions!

To answer your question about why the mall was deserted, 2 answers:
1. That mall in particular doesn't have much visitors unlike Riyadh Park or Nakheel mall
2. People of Riyadh are people of the night

Am from Sudan and am really proud of my Saudi brothers for what they could achieved in their country
As someone who does not like to interfere in politics, but who encourages social openness, what Mohammed bin Salman has done during these short years deserves to be applauded. I will not listen to the Western media because it operates according to agendas and political parties. What I see is that the Saudis are happy and proud, they breathe freedom, entertainment and fun and love the Crown Prince, so why do Western newspapers attack them? Saudi Arabia has become a promising tourist destination, and with the end of the mega projects, it will have a global stature. I have already visited AlUla and have never found such a magical place in my life besides the generosity and love that the Saudis offer me.
I believe that once MBS said that they don't pay for protection but for weapons, Trump told the CIA to destroy his credibility, you should know MBS said that one week before the Kashogi incident.
MBS also just beheaded a dozen or so journalists for doing their job. Damn, how's that for "social openness".
Could it be because he murdered a journalist and just executed 81 people in one day?
You said exactly what we Saudis want to say to the world, all these changes are because of the crown prince, never listen to what the western media says about MBS, it’s all lies.
Such beautiful and well structured words. Thank you for enlightening others with such accuracy. You are welcome here anytime my friend. Hope you have a good time 🌹.
I'm Indonesian but I was born and raised in Riyadh until 2019 I moved to Indonesia. I gotta say, Riyadh is a really safe place to stay. I feel more at home in Saudi rather than in my own country 😔 I hope one day will be able to live in Saudi for the rest of my life.

Regarding your question about the Mall, so this is one of the oldest malls in Saudi Arabia and especially in Riyadh ( Mool AlMamlakah or Mall of Kingdom ) and the reason why no one or only few people go there is that there are newer and more modern styled malls such as AlNakheel Mall and Riyadh Park and soon enough there will be one the largest malls in the world which is Saudia Mall. I'm pretty sure Faisal did his best showing you around, I wish he could have showed you Hanifa Valley one of the most beautiful areas we go to in the winter where we camp there, also Riyadh Front which is like a long path with restaurants, cafes, and stores. As a Saudi, I can proudly say that we have come a long way and I hope to see my country the number 1 destination for tourists !

As a Saudi, I don't understand how people say Saudi has “changed “ the only change is in entertainment which is having cinemas and concerts that's it
Women now can drive, work and wear any color they want. Saudi has changed and still changing!
@@meshal9195 You’re wrong, in the past it wasn’t banned to wear any color or work
@@meshal9195 😂😂😂😂 who said to you women have to wear same colour
@@fathiabdallahahmed8597 no one think to wear different color because they will be teased by everyone. Show me any pictures of women wear different color from 2000-2010. You can not!
I think you live in another country , what about the religious police that were very active before the start of the change.
It's the safest place on earth, no drugs,no alcohol, no guns, no rapist, no serial killer,no school shooting, no public nudity or public sexual conduct. So you can choose to be living in a safe country with very minimal crimes like Saudi or living as "free" in a western country like America but with the largest crime rates, largest prisons population and gun violence and rapes in the world. In Saudi even a jewelry shop was not properly locked when the owner go to pray, they just cover it with plastic or curtains and left it and nobody would steal it. TBH i don't want Saudi to change A LOT and starting to look like just another copy cat of western liberal nations that are plague with crimes, sexualism, hedonism and capitalism. Let Saudi stay Saudi with its strict conservatism.

It’s truly amazing how Saudi Arabia has opened up so much, I remember a day when basically no non-muslim was allowed into the country.
غير صحيح لم يكن ممنوع زيارة غير المسلمين للسعوديه !
Man you’ve been lied to for decades, you people don’t read or what? If someone came to you with some news go make a research, confirm the information at least, never seen such ignorance in my life 🤣
Non Muslims have been living here longer than I’ve been alive, we actually had christian neighbors for six years, they were Egyptian and they were amazing people. We just simply don’t have churches and we don’t allow non Muslims to enter two cities, the holy cities 😂
Well, actually non-Muslims can enter Medina, in fact they (the two gentlemen who made this Video) visited Medina and made a Video about it, you can check it on their account
It is not true. Non-Muslims are present in Saudi Arabia and work in universities and hospitals, and their numbers have been large since the founding of the state.
it’s funny how y’all came with the basic western media stereotypes😂 but I hope videos like this help change these ideas
And about 11:34 there is a lot of Arabic authentic fast food but unfortunately not in this mall.

Saudi is amongst the safest countries in the world. Every country has its own culture and traditions and foreigners must respect that. In western countries roaming almost naked in the streets is considered civilized and choosing to cover yourself is considered conservative.
Was sad at first seeing your reactions and skepticism about Saudi but felt happy that you chose to visit in person and know the reality rather than relying on the fake western propaganda.
Hahahahaha "roaming naked in the streets," what were you saying about propaganda...?🤔🤣
@@OskarandDan I appreciate you guys visiting Saudi in person and knowing the truth rather than believing the stereotypes and what the media shows. And in western countries most people are half naked. I have travelled to many countries and I felt middle-east countries are the safest.
About propoganda, I meant how the western media is spreading a fake narrative about muslim women being oppressed and stuff. They feel more honored and safe here.
No offense .Peace.
That was so different than I was expecting, in the best way. Wow.
I lived in Saudi due to my dad working out there. We lived in a compound but would go out in the day. I loved it! That was 15 years ago. I'd love to go back
Welcome, my friend, Saudi Arabia has changed a lot from the past. We now have a vision of 2030, one of its goals is to diversify the economy and focus on tourism. Huge projects 🤍
We welcome you. I am sure you will be amazed at the change that has taken place in such a short period of time
Saudi is very welcoming to tourists since 2019 when tourism visas were first issued, and I met people from all around the world in the capital, Riyadh. Most of them speak highly of how hospitable and helpful the people are, and how it's really safe in KSA. That's very reassuring as not too long ago we didn't have a tourism business, except religious tourism if you wanna call it that, and many people abroad are lead to believe that Saudi is almost another planet, while we're all humans at the end of the day.
The only reason you got that disclaimer at 2:25 is just so a visitor is aware of the different laws which's actually very nice as in most countries, you'll only know about their unique laws once you're arrested.
Saudi welcomes all people and their different beliefs, and you're way less likely to get in trouble here as a tourist than many other places in the world, including western countries, as most people in SA are considerate, especially for tourists, so the only way something might happen after all of these measures is in case of extreme negligence or intentional lawbreaking. 30% of the population aren't even Saudi nationals and are living in Saudi for jobs they hold, and they're appreciated and have been a part of society for decades, so it'd be farfetched to think it's gonna be a big deal for someone staying less than 6 months traveling around as our beloved guests and crimes are either pretty universal or very obvious as soon as you land here with a very basic idea about the Islamic way of life.
I personally can't wait to see you and for you to experience what our huge country has to offer! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised ❤️
Say, you two really nailed this alright. I don’t know what was more fascinating, your absolute joy or the scenery. The last time I had been in the kingdom was in 1985 or so quite astounded by the social change. Absolutely stunning in both senses.
Must have changed A LOT since 85!
@@OskarandDan Absolutely! Looking forward to the next one🤗

A lot has changed for the better, of course, and we are happy for this beautiful change
This video makes me really wanna go to Riyard. The pedestrian walk is sooo clean.. The Edge is SPECTACULAR!!
As someone who spent most of their childhood in Riyadh, it was so heartwarming seeing you explore the streets I knew like the back of my hand. Although I never loved Riyadh as a city to live in, I do miss it now that I’m too far away. This was so beautiful
I’m really happy you guys enjoyed RIYADH, please I ask from all the viewers who are s scared and hesitated to visit KSA, don’t listen to the media, everything is different from what bad thing’s you hear in news and watch in media, we are way different and 100% better than you think.
Maybe bat we have some rules that takes freedom from others
And he is right there is a lot of rules We must have a discussion about to let others feel safe when they come to visit 😊
Hello From Riyadh,Saudi Arabia I am from pakistan but I was born in Riyadh and live my life here and I am 12 years old
Yeah, as a Saudi I can see how these disclaimers can be intimidating. But I imagine this will change soon, and they are just taking steps. They can't apply a drastic change instantly.
But thank you for giving an unbiased opinion about the country.
I want to visit, but all the rules and the wave of women escaping Saudi recently have me shook. I'm worried how will I be treated as a female visiting Saudi. It looks absolutely wonderful nonetheless so one day following conditions will change so I can change my mind.

I'm actually a saudi and planning to visit Morocco, which part of Morocco should I go to for the authentic Moroccon experience?
@@happymolecule8894 Hello brother , in Morocco , I believe you can feel authenticity in every place , so in every city there is the medina which is the ancient city and there is a modern part of the city , and there is also what we call Kasbah which is an ancient city was built for defensive reasons . I personally advise you to visit Tanger , Tetouan and chafchaoen in the north of Morocco then you can visit next Al hociema city ,located east of Tanger , and you go down to Fes and meknes , then to continue there is the capital Rabat and you must visit the Kasbah of LOUDAYA there . After that you must visit Marrakech and go to Agafay desert location and Ouzoud waterfalls , next you can visit Beni Melal city if you want to experience skydiving there , and of course Agadire city . I advise you if you ever come to Morocco to look for a guide it will be very helpful to have a better experiece . I hope my answer was adequate, and welcome to your second home country any time brother ☺️

I was born and raised in Saudi Arabia and yes, seeing this transition makes me very happy. It always was one of the safest country in the world and still is. My father came here in 70s. And he saw the first transformation of Kingdom building itself. And now, we are witnessing the second transformation.
With Kingdom opening its doors for visitors, it is welcoming them to be part of the incredible Vision 2030 which will make Saudi Arabia one of the leading countries in the world.
People are very friendly, generous and welcoming. The experience this country offers is amazing and you'll not get them anywhere.

You're welcome guys . Your reactions before you land in saudi made me laugh😂 . Saudi Arabia is one of the safest countries in the world, and ranked amoung best countries to walk at night safely , we still have some rules to follow like any other country .. maybe little more than some others, but it is different culture than europe and I think this is what makes Saudi exiting to visit . Hope you enjoied it 👍👍
For some reason I thought you have already been to Saudi Arabia. I must have combined all your other Middle East country adventures and assumed that you've been to all the places. And I think I always assumed that all the Middle East countries had this level of restrictions and always found it interesting how freely you have traveled to Qatar, UAE, etc. As a woman I have been interested in how it would be to travel to Middle East countries. Your nervousness around Saudi Arabia travel are what I assumed my experience for all travel to the Middle East would be. This was really so informative.
The other Gulf countries are very different! Doesn't always look like it on paper, but the reality on the ground is. Thank you🙏
As a Saudi Arabian Saudi Arabia was locked for tourists back then but Saudi Arabia has opened. For tourist attractions it has a nice culture nice heart warming ppl rlly safe

Here’s one thing you need to know abt Saudi Arabia is the night life. People usually do go out in mornings or the afternoons because of the hot weather, so you’d see more people, more traffic, more life at night.
I am flying to Saudi Arabia after 17 days. Thank you for this video Oskar and Dan!
Hope u have fun☺️
If you were there a month ago, it would have been better. Summer has begun there
Welcome
Few things to mention:
100 Million Tourists = The deputy minister of tourism (a female btw) mentioned that they were REQUIRED to change their notion of a tourist from someone who visited the country from abroad to it being a person who visits a new CITY even if they were citizens (i.e. domestic tourism) and stayed overnight --to be accounted-for in international tourism ranks. So, a single tourist can be considered x10 tourist if they indeed visited 10 cities. Also, remember than each year millions of people already visit Saudi Arabia for Hajj.
Flynas = nas means people in Arabic.
Careem is now quite abandoned in Saudi Arabia. Uber is what's dominant. Also, The Kingdom Mall is very old. We no longer visit it. See Riyadh Park, Nakhil Mall, or Riyadh Front instead.
For separation between singles and families, these are mostly remnants from a previous time. Many restaurants and cafes that still didn't remove those separations would still have a mixed interior. It is mostly conservative cities and small villages that still have strict separation. Funny enough, a new 24h café around me actually separates between singles and families depending on the crowdedness of the customers. Since it tends to have 1h+ waiting period at times, they do this for 'diversity and equality', to ensure the café doesn't turn into a family café or male café.
Most of Riyadh (and Saudi) is not suited for walking because after cars were heavily introduced in the newly-rich Saudi in the 60s, Saudi took-on an American urban planning style which was car-oriented. Sadly, this backfired, and now, there is heavy work on trying to make the city much more human friendly from making megaprojects (e.g. Boulevard, Diriyah Gate, King Salman Park [The greatest in-city park in the world], Qiddiya, Sports boulevard which is a 135km path of walkable spine for Riyadh with towers and centers for culture, art, nature, sports, etc.).

I'm really curious to see how Saudi Arabia will change with so many foreigners visiting it...
It’s the people who visit Saudi will change their opinions mostly more than the other way around.
“No country will get a lot of tourism if they make you sign 15 disclaimers about abiding by all their rules before you go, that’s just crazy.”
Guess who does that as well? LITERALLY all other countries.
