Just a little explanation about why they don't allow you to stray from the tour. It's because unfortunately lots of people vandalized the historic sites and etched their names into ancient writing and buildings. THe government has gone to great length to restore and preserve the sites for future visitors. So they keep a close watch on the sites, it's not because you're a foreign tourist.
It's not that we have anything to hide when we are whispering it's just that we are so used to whispering cuz we try not to be disrespectful if u have anything to say trust me we don't care
@@blueflame3531 Yes, but under the present King. The changes are dramatic such as the female drivers and workplace interaction, F1, Formula E, Extreme E, Dakar Rally, Boxing, Rock and Techno concerts, Riyadh Season, National Day, Founding Day, Absher, Electronic contracts and payments for nearly all workers, Natasha anti-corruption etc etc. And these are what we can see, there are more changes planned. @kathleen Bell, come back and visit :)
In any tourist’s attractions that are archaeological in Europe, you are not allowed to walk and wander around out of track/path. Been there and we know it. So I don’t see why you are bothered about it in KSA!
AL’ULA was always open to visitors, you just need permission prior to getting there. We used to be able to drive around the site and stop wherever you wanted. But as the number of visitors is increasing this is no longer possible.
I'm an expat in Saudi Arabia for the last 20 years. I was able to visit Hegra (Madain Saleh) a few years back when it was still a desolate place and not much people visiting. No need for permits/letters, no tourist/entrance fees. You just needed to present your iqama (work permit ID) at the entrance and voila! You could go wherever you want and stay as long as you want, no time limit whatsoever! You could really see its amazing natural beauty - raw and unassuming!
I've been living in this city since january for work purposes and I love seeing you guys discover the city and the region. As a foreigner you get the looks and whispers but this is apparently changing since a lot of French people are now working in Alula to develop tourism.
If I stay with you enough time Saudi Arabia Go to the south of Saudi Arabia because there is a beautiful climate in the summer time there are very high mountains I am sure you will enjoy going to the south🇸🇦
Another awesome video 😁👌 we’ve been wanting to go to the Middle East for a while and now watching your Saudi Arabia series has inspired us even more! What a beautiful part of the world 😁
As always, another excellent travel video. Enjoying this tour of Saudi Arabia. Planning to travel to 🇸🇦 in September with my wife. Keep the fun and 🧳. Take care from your Brazilian friend, Marcos
I don’t get why u feel restricted. Saudi are the chilliest most funniest people u could ever meet. So just loosen up and enjoy ur stay to the fullest 🤩
Talking about the Nabateans, they are the ones that gave us the Arabic Alphabet, the language was existing before and written in many different alphabets around the region. but then the Nabatean alphabet became the standard.
I am from saudi arabia , I lived and studied my medical school there and for the last 10 years i have been studying plastic surgery in france , interesting to see the changes of saudi arabai , definitely we have long way to go , happy to see the good changes and hopefully I wish for a better future
Hey guys, Take it easy on your selvse, we're not that restricted🤣 have fun and be comfertable. Even the traditional old schoolers not that restricted !
@@blackieblong8334 this is our country and this our way of life , if u want people to respect your way of life , respect theirs first. Don’t be such a karen and live like a victimized loser.
12:30, well they change the name arabic coffee to saudi coffee about one month ago so its ok to call it arabic coffee but they were telling you it has changed… its not right or wrong we are not restricted people but we are chatty and we like to share
Been watching your content and i find it quite interesting so i subscribed right away i am living in Saudi Arabia for almost 6 years and i am still amazed by how the country ruling its people such a wonderful place and by the way your vids so entertaining keep it up 👍🏻
That's a RV it's a Airstream the best of the best!! They are big in America and started up in the 20's !! How lucky are ya'll and awesome trip!! Yeah I saw Kara&Nate stayed in one
Those are not vans. They are Airstream trailers which use aviation style aluminum. They have been popular here in US for many years. They are lighter than conventional trailers and are towed by car or a pic up. Now old ones are much sought after. Yours must have recently shipped there from US.Their interiors are similar and they come in many sizes. In Europe they are called caravans, here trailers.
So the animal in 13:30 this is what poor Arab used to eat in the past, because they can't afford to eat sheeps or camels, i advise anyone who visit Saudi Arabia to look for ( fagga'a or desert truffles ) it's a vegetable that can't be grown, but it comes with rain, you can find it in a cold desert, it taste like a mixture between potatoes and mushrooms, it's very expensive.
A very interesting video, cool to see some of the Saudi Araubi sites! AirStream trailers were big in the camping scene in North America, to see them in the Mid-East was different!
Wow.. You spoke about not being yourself. In your first Saudia video, I commented about that. Look. I was on edge for you guys. Please stay safe. I do have to say that Saudia is gorgeous. I do see my husband and I going there.
I hope they'll build more hotels there because the accommodation is really the issue even for local tourists. I myself want to visit the city but I am putting off so far because of the accommodation reason. History always fascinates me and I am sure most of the tourists. I think they are restrictive because it is a fairly new site and it is untouched and they don't want tourists to spoil it.
I understand that you are telling your experience, but you always need to proply plan your visits. For example, Maraya has a series of scheduled events throught the year, but you apparently came in a time of a break.
As saudi I am first of all we happy to have you and you are always welcome 🙏 The issue I always see when western people traveling try to find negative things skip small thing to make your trip better don’t get me wrong I really like your videos and all the positive you have said about Saudi and I am glad you come 🙏🇸🇦
As a Saudi as well, they weren’t being rude, just pointing out what they saw and experienced. I think their criticism is actually very helpful as it’ll help us improve and get better, till we’re at the top inshallah.
Fun fact: Airstream trailers are manufactured in Ohio, United States and were first introduced in the 1920s. It’s not uncommon to see a large truck hauling one of those trailers that you stayed in. People use those for camping so that’s essentially what you were doing! Great video!!❤️👍✈️
This was a very interesting vlog. You showed us some truly unique ancient sites and the art instillation in the middle of nowhere was really stimulating. I’m especially glad you shared some of the practical aspects of your visit like the smell of sewage from ill-plumbed toilets in the trailers. I guess the idea of having trailers in the desert was a novel idea but It appears they didn’t think of how to mange the waste. In the US they would have been hooked up to septic tanks like they have at RV / trailer parks in the US. Also I can understand your frustration with being guarded as to what you say. Sort of like being in Mainland China or Russia. An all around great vlog. Stay well. 👍🙏😎
10:47 “the Kara of this duo” 🤣🤣🤣💀 Her food reactions are famously emotive and overwhelmingly positive. Love your input on middle eastern vegan food! It is disappointing that you’re not able to be yourselves in the country you’re visiting. Love is love and should never be exploited for hatred.
Another eye on the world video. I hope to get there but, in case we don’t, it’s great to get your views and insights. Too bad about the van oder. Must be a plumbing problem! Hegera was incredible!
you neeeeeeeeed to come to jeddah if you are in saudi arabia its the las vegas of saudi arabia lol you must visit oia and indigo they are amazing beach places for relaxing also oia has fancy restaurants
Hi Guys, you’re luckier than me. I have been here in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 for almost 7 years but didn’t get chance to see that beautiful area 😀.. enjoy your life
@@clarkeokah1154 Haha nope! Alghamdi is one of the biggest families in Saudi. I’m a pilot and I graduated from North Dakota. There was another Ali Alghamdi in my university so I don’t blame you for the question.
Yoo come to the west side of saudi! The timing may be a problem or blessing for u guys tho since it's ramadan and most things happen after sunset. Hope u guys enjoy ur time and keep up the criticism! We need to improve on what we can💪🏻
Hi. Where you went in Al Ula was open before for Saudis , it was fenced to be protected from treasure hunters and vandalism , but I heard it was relatively easy to speak to the guards and they will allow you to go in once they are convinced that your intention is to visit only, it was not open for tourism before. It changes every time to a better thing, let’s wait and see what they will do next in Al Ula
Yeah it was always easy to go there. I’ve been there many times before in my own car or with my family in their cars. I remember seeing many skulls there and we used to go there watch and go back before sunset. I believe it was closed completely in 2017 or 18 for two years to allow for archeologists to do research and excavation there.
If there is not that much tourism infrastructure it’s because they just started opening. The good thing is they are building lots of stuff they’re really into sustainability. You should come back in a few years like 2026 since trojena the ski resort will be open and other things too like the red sea project. And you should come again in 2030 for the line etc…
I lived in Saudi Arabia for 6 months and Qatar for 3 years. You should see Atif mountains the monkeys are so cute and you get to eat cactus fruit and get authentic rose water
Welcome to our honorable guests. I wish I could communicate with you in order to honor you in the manner of the people of the south in the Saudi region always and forever. You are welcome anytime and anywhere. I wished you had visited the southern region in Saudi Arabia and met me to try southern foods and the generosity of the people of the south, but God willing, you will come back to us again to meet We show you the southern Saudi generosity, and thank you in advance for this content that attracts tourists in your second country, Saudi Arabia. Welcome ❤️❤️ I am a new subscriber
That’s my hometown, wish that I reached out to you earlier to give you a free tour guide in this city with much cheaper hotels and better service also. Hope that you enjoyed the city
Yes we were go for this place 😅😅 But in 2020, it has been included in the tourist attractions for foreign visitors. The tour guide may fear that you will fall or get lost. But the actual history of this place is so old that they believe it goes back to the people of Prophet Hood
Envy ! Careful, considerate travelogue and totally fascinating. So much potential in Saudi Arabia if only other things could fall into place. Loved the art exhibition in the desert. For a real glimpse of trailer life catch up with early epjsodes in the Tyler and Todd blog on TH-cam. Can't wait for your next episode.
Oh Mann this is nice!!! I will be working in the area of NEOM where u went on your nabataean kingdom tour. They are building a nice City there. The Line.
Great videography guys, this was amazing. You made us feel like we were there with you. Too bad the world is not open enough to accept everyone as they are. Hopefully this is changing. I guess you guys also could not tell any locals about your channel right? For additional fear that they may have a look and figure it out, or did you not have to hide that? Once again, great video!
Thanks Daniel🙏❤️ You're right, we didn't tell people about it. Most people would likely "ignore" it if they found out, but you never know who you're gonna run into, sadly!
@@OskarandDan I'm from Saudi Arabia & I would like to thank you for saying " Most" not " all". Your videos became a trend here in Saudi, someone put a link on Twitter to your Hasan's vid. someone commented there that " If you knew their sexual orientation you won't talk about their video" He got a lot of replies such as -" who cares what they believe in" -" No one cares about their lifestyle" -" they are Saudi Arabia's guests no matter what they are" -" their choice is theirs, they don't force it on us and we don't force them to change & practice our own values, respect is mutual and they are our guests" So people responses are not the same, not to mention laws here are strict & no one can do anything to you otherwise they would go to jail. I have 2 british gay friends & they tell me that they still got harrased sometime in their country, so I don't pretend like the situation in the middle east will be better, in fact in the middle east it's not good at all. Thanks again for sharing this experince, wish you luck in all your travels.
I just read your channel description (big fan of Dan and his reviews btw) and I saw your visiting every country in the world. How are you going to visit North Korea?! That’s going to be a challenge, but I will be watching on :)
Btw hegar is not hager the wife of Ibraham, the people used to live there are different people.. an old civilization and they used to make the shape of the stones and digging by their own hands. They had the ability long time ago.
Unfortunately, you are saying some information that not accurate. If you say Arabic coffee you are not going into a trouble. It is a rule for restaurants and cafés to follow so they write it in their menus Saudi coffee. Also Alula was open for people to see before 2019 but not with all that services. Our authorities started to invest in this place after allowing visa for tourism.
I am from saudi arabia 🇸🇦 I want to tell you a verrryyy welcome 🙏🏼🤍 to your home , I want to know you have a great travel on our home visit . have fun dude 🤍🙏🏼
I think you are a little bit Exaggerating, every country has its culture that everyone needs to respect. Everyone was very welcoming, hospitable and friendly! What are you afraid of😅?
Just a little explanation about why they don't allow you to stray from the tour. It's because unfortunately lots of people vandalized the historic sites and etched their names into ancient writing and buildings.

I lived in Saudi Arabia 24 years ago and it's interesting how much change has happened.

Most of the changes were in the last 5 years with the present King.

@@OskarandDan I'm from Saudi Arabia & I would like to thank you for saying " Most" not " all". Your videos became a trend here in Saudi, someone put a link on Twitter to your Hasan's vid. someone commented there that " If you knew their sexual orientation you won't talk about their video" He got a lot of replies such as
-" who cares what they believe in"
-" No one cares about their lifestyle"
-" they are Saudi Arabia's guests no matter what they are"
-" their choice is theirs, they don't force it on us and we don't force them to change & practice our own values, respect is mutual and they are our guests"
So people responses are not the same, not to mention laws here are strict & no one can do anything to you otherwise they would go to jail. I have 2 british gay friends & they tell me that they still got harrased sometime in their country, so I don't pretend like the situation in the middle east will be better, in fact in the middle east it's not good at all. Thanks again for sharing this experince, wish you luck in all your travels.
Saudis come from different walks of life. Myself and many other Saudis know and we love you guys and accept you. You are just awesome ❤️

Awesome video! Looking forward to the next one 😉

I highly recommand u guys to try the Zaatar pies or Manaeesh its vegan and its really delicious
It’s not a van, it’s a travel trailer. Airstream is a premier product that does offer motor homes, but these units are travel trailers, not Vans.
Airstream is the top of the line RV in the 🇺🇸 US. I am shocked they bought them. They bought the best.
I just read your channel description (big fan of Dan and his reviews btw) and I saw your visiting every country in the world. How are you going to visit North Korea?! That’s going to be a challenge, but I will be watching on :)
We'll do our best with every country😊
Btw hegar is not hager the wife of Ibraham, the people used to live there are different people.. an old civilization and they used to make the shape of the stones and digging by their own hands. They had the ability long time ago.
Unfortunately, you are saying some information that not accurate. If you say Arabic coffee you are not going into a trouble. It is a rule for restaurants and cafés to follow so they write it in their menus Saudi coffee. Also Alula was open for people to see before 2019 but not with all that services. Our authorities started to invest in this place after allowing visa for tourism.
I am from saudi arabia 🇸🇦 I want to tell you a verrryyy welcome 🙏🏼🤍 to your home , I want to know you have a great travel on our home visit . have fun dude 🤍🙏🏼
Thank you for your honest opinion
There is actually chalet you can rent in alula for much cheaper than vans
Also you should’ve went to Shaden resort or Habitas resort in AlUla, they’re proper proper resorts
These Caravans are by Habitas :) The actual Habitas is double the price.
Great video -- what a bizarre place. Great find. First time I've seen it on You Tube. You beat Kara and Nate-- CONGRATS!
We are nowhere near Kara and Nate, but thank you so much David😉🙏❤️
If you found AL’ULA interesting, have a look for YANNI at TANTORA. He has done a number of concerts from there.
you have to go to abha city in the southern part of saudi arabia
I think you are a little bit Exaggerating, every country has its culture that everyone needs to respect. Everyone was very welcoming, hospitable and friendly! What are you afraid of😅?
I wished you go to jeddah ,, its the second main city in saudi arabia after riyadh
Wow, Airstreams in Saudi Arabia. Those caravans sell for about $100,000 in US dollars. How did they get over there?
