My Saudi Arabian Adventure! (Not What I Expected)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 พ.ค. 2020
- This was Saudi Arabia's first unsegregated concert performed by international artists!! Drifting an SUV around in the middle of the desert as a woman in Saudi Arabia and going to this concert, dancing with all the locals and actually seeing the crown prince of Saudi Arabia in person was an extremely unique experience to have in this conservative country.
I visited Saudi Arabia during the first time they opened up an e-visa for the Formula E races in 2018. My initial impression was that it felt extremely safe in Riyadh and there were lots of foreign fast foods. Life didn’t really start until the sun set and the temp cooled down, then it was the malls that seemed to be where everyone would hangout. It was required to wear an abaya which is a full body length robe like dress but not required to cover your hair, occasionally in places like Saudi Arabia I don’t mind wearing a hijab to both respect the culture and to also not draw any unnecessary attention to myself.
Getting to see One Republic live was surreal for me because I’ve been listening to their music since I was in Middle School but my favorite part of the concert was that David Guetta said he spend two weeks creating an all Arabic set and when he was playing it, I’ve never heard an audience sing alone more loudly. It felt like their voices made the ground shake!!

I hope this helps you understand the Arab and Islamic culture away from politicized channels. Welcome to Saudi Arabia
It’s remarkable how in western culture alcohol is used to have ‘fun’ at concerts and in a country where it’s banned it’s amazing to see that people can still have a powerful hype at concerts without it. It’s also remarkable how music is something that brings us together and dose not divide us .
Hallo and how are u doing
A lot of people use Afghan hash and mdma there. Drugs are everywhere.
Some people produce it at home.
@@edsher7679 drugs are everywhere, the point is most people dont drink or do drugs and society isnt built on getting drunk like the west
It's only actually "banned" for poor people. I have several times been with men drinking in their homes in KSA. Esp. with one of the 4,000+ princes, especially, senior ones.
she didn't show Muslim covering their whole body that is their Islam women covered up
I used to live in Saudi 2011-2014 and saw some really remote places which no one knew about, such a beautiful country!! And a lot of contrasting scenes for sure
are u getting paid to say this?? lol saudi is hell on earth. super depressing
@@user-jp3tp7fv1s you've clearly never been there, or if you have you haven't visited rural areas which are as beatiful as any surrouding country. and no i am not a saudi bot
I'm Saudi, come visit Riyadh after the Corona situation babes🥰🥰🥰
@@user-jp3tp7fv1s why?!
BD let’s be honest, saudi might be a pretty boring country. but it’s starting to open more and more and genuinely becoming one of the best countries in the world right now. saudi is nothing like how people stereotype it and on the news, i found it more calming and having a very peaceful feel than being boring, and that’s what makes it feel so like home and so welcoming rather than just BORING
I am in tears right now. Tears of happiness because it is incredible how you can share the passion of traveling through the screen. Thank you so much for this. Your message and experience is amazing🤩
I lived in Saudi Arabia, Jeddah between 1994-2001. Best years of my life! Community, connection, creative self expression and exploring a stunning country! Scuba diving at midnight, Lawrence of Arabia trail, parties galore and really good people. Great footage and video, Lexie! 💗🙏🏻💫
Thank you for being so open and understanding and respecting all cultures
Even though I'm currently living in Saudi Arabia, i found this video so informative and entertaining. Keep it up 🎉 and happy Eid everyone! 🙏💫
Eidal afiya bro tnx man greet from germany
Thanks, greetings from USA.
Thank u Lexi for sharing this image about my country 🇸🇦 you are welcome every one any time and keep it up 💚 it’s fun watching your journey of visiting the whole world
awesome ! I would have never imagined a concert there like that. amazing! Can't wait to go, the scenery is unreal !!!
❤
Omg my two favourite travel youtubers
she didn't show Muslim covering their whole body that is their Islam women covered up
and shitty rules that punish you for noo good reason so you live constant fear yes because islam again what great religon that teaches you fear

True
Absolutely love your videos and all the stories you have to share!!
"Start their own business" 9:09 women in Saudi Arabia always had the right to own and build their own business.
Great video but some updates are required,
-Gender segregations have been almost entirely removed as restaurants and other places are no longer required by law to segregate.
-Women are no longer required to wear abayas.
-As for the rumors about traveling with a male guardian, these used to be true for traveling to different countries, but traveling within the country was never required. Either way that is no longer the case.
abdulaziz khallaf ترا من الوقاحه تقول ان هالتحديثات حقتك طال عمرك "مطلوبة" مين أنت بالنسبه لها يعني 🤣🤣 اذا حاب تثقف المهتمين بالموضوع قول اللي عندك وخلاص ☺️😂
Nope
تعقب يا طقعان ما نودي حريمنا للمطاعم المختلطه تكلم عن نفسك 😛🤫
"Are no longer" من زمان والنساء مو مطالبين قانونيا بلبس العباية. ما كان قانون رسمي لكن ممكن يلفت النظر وهذا اعتقاد خاطئ عند ناس كثير، يفكرون انه ممنوع أي وحدة تطلع بدون عباية.
And u r proud of all this. These r actions of shaitan
Thank you, I want to Travel the world and get lost. I am glad you got to do it.
I haven’t started traveling yet so seeing what the world is like through someone like you is so wonderful! I know you have nothing but good intentions with people and cultures 💕 Thank you for sharing!
I always enjoy your videos! Thank you so much for the quality content and the respectful way you behave in all your travels. Love from El Salvador!
Wow! Just got chills re-watching the concert footage. That night was sooo magical in so many ways! Nice edits & story-telling Lex. Thanks for the shout-out in video description too!
And also a big shout-out to Will on this Memorial Day -- thanks for your service sir! *Salute*
I bet it was so much fun exploring the wilderness of the desert there! The landscapes looked so surreal! The music festival looked really awesome! I'm glad you had a great time in Saudi Arabia!
All love from Saudi ❤️❤️.
As you said young people have all the passion for the change, and we are all living our life dont worry about us ✌🏻.
Things has changed even more after 2018, women no longer need to wear an abaya, they just need to dress modestly.
So happy to hear that!!
Lexie Limitless
There’s no longer segregation FINALLY just ahead of covid 😤
@@LexieLimitless Most of the Saudi people are not happy with this news
@Fajitahmed Thank you, woman and men dressing modestly is good, for us women i believe it shows respect respect,honour and feminity and men honour,respect and mascularity,everyone can dress modestly and still look good
@@Sn-gr6hn Saudi women who eat in restaurants do not accept to eat in the presence of foreign men and looking at them.
.Rather, she eats in the presence of her family in a place that guarantees her privacy, or eating with girls of her gender.
These moral values in Islam
Saudi women respect their religion and their idiosyncrasy, and these are among the Islamic values and morals.
Women who attend concerts go to sing and dance, and respectable Saudi women do not go to these places.
You must understand the religious culture in Saudi Arabia, and you must differentiate between the teachings of Islam and the systems of Islamic countries..Its culture is the Qur'an and the Sunnah only, not Erdogan, Prince Muhammad bin Salman, Tamim, or Ghannouchi.
When we see Islamic and Arab names and they do not differentiate between Islam and the politics of restaurants and rulers ... we will say on intelligence, bye
Your videos are keeping me sane in quarantine. Keep it up!!! 💕
What you said about the concert made my tear up! So happy for everyone who had that experience! The public shouldn't suffer when they have no say about how their country is ruled.
Yes many western countries are banning Muslim woman wearing hijab. But i don't see non y'all complaining about that.
Miller are you mad ?
I don't think you will understand but first of all how is our rules and who is our leadership are something domestic so please don't involve yourself on it.
We respect like and loyal to our leaders and if there is something wrong we will work together to change it without any order or arrogant hypocrite opinion from outsiders.
I can't tell you that we are perfect we have mistakes but again how to fix it and to live with it is something up to our society not to you or to anyone else who isn't SAUDI.
An approve of that when she said David Guetta had a special Arabic mix and the ground was shaking the mix were about the king and patriotic songs and you can find it in TH-cam
@@Amazone1 but that's for security and affects everyone else not targeted towards muslims
@@entertainmentprime101 lol which security? Your ignorancy is real. I'm sure if all Muslims want you dead you would've been dead by now. How's someone freely wearing their clothes is a threat to you? I thought the west is more educated but no
We are sending you love from Saudi 🇸🇦❤️
Love your videos on and in countries that are not on your typical bucket list! Would love to see more videos on countries like that, on your experiences there, what to do, what to keep in mind and generally just showing the beauty of these countries!
I have enjoyed this video sooo much!!! Thank you ❤️❤️
U should have made the vid like 4 seconds longer to get in a mid roll add
prashil mehta sorry to disappoint you 😂
We're glad you enjoyed your time in Saudi Arabia. It's a place that has changed so much in the 5+ years we've lived here, and you'd be amazed at how different it is now even since your visit in 2018. We recently started our own youtube channel because we wanted to show off some of the amazing places in this country that even most people who've never been here before didn't know existed.
You are such gem of a traveller. The thing about you is that you respect every culture and traditions. Keep smiling. Lots of love.💕 💐
AMAZING AS ALWAYS! BEST YOU TUBER OUT THERE! CONGRATS ON ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!
I’ve been waiting for this video since you visited KSA, we r so happy with all changes that happening right now, 60% of the population in KSA are between 32-18 and we are so excited for what the future holds for us, Love you Lexie and thank you for showing the world some of real Saudi Arabia 💜💜💜💜, hope to see you next time you visit us 💜
It is absolutely not the "true" saudi
@@Dina-kc77 it is though, there is alot of us/eu people living in saudi arabia and they share their thought about how it is, you can look them up if you wanna know the truth
@@Dina-kc77 yeah it is
Really love your vids
What you accomplished is exceptional
The narration in every video is outstanding
Every one of the videos leave me in awe
Thank you Lexi 😃
You are truly an inspiration to The people of this world, keep on doing this for a long time 🙏
wow my heart is dancing seeing the big changes in saudi arabia, riyadh is my home for more than 4 yrs and seeing this overwhelms me..
I'm so happy to see this cuz i have been living in Saudi Arabia for 7 years but haven't experienced what u had experienced
I been living in Saudi Arabia all my. And didn't do anything that she did.
After corona is gone. You can experience and explore every city in Saudi 😍
There are so many layers to Saudi Arabia. I am a non-Arab who luckily got to live there all my life. In my childhood, freedom to drive, or enjoy movies in a theatre, or attend a concert never entered my mind. This was because i never felt trapped either way. The Abaya was a barrier of protection and a safety net to us (not that i am advocating that protection against abuse comes through our choice of dressing), and the requirement of a male companion didn’t hinder us from experiencing trips to the local store or neighborhood walks all alone. Crime rate never concerned us. There was enough entertainment at home, which stopped us from feeling trapped. Family life was a plus. Learning so much from their culture, I happen to have turned out great, in my opinion. Yes, every country is flawed, but I felt safe and I loved it. I am a young adult who still doesn’t need a concert or a drink to have the time of my life. Intoxication takes the true thrill away. I am happy for the modernization and tourism opportunities MBS is bringing into his Kingdom, but I liked it before too. I am proud to call Saudi Arabia my home 🇸🇦
I love this so much. Thanks for sharing! Edge of the World has been on my travel list for a while.
My head is aching after watching TH-cam for 4 hours straight. My eyes have no moisture left. It was time for me to exit TH-cam. And this video pops up. Are you kidding me? I’m going to die.
This is 100% same
Damn 4 hours is nothing
Thank you Lexie , All the love from saudi arabia
This video is really really very informative. Got to know many things about Saudi Arabia which otherwise i was unaware of. Kudos, keep it going 👍👍
I keep coming back here, this is beautiful 🤍
I'm in love with your channel 💓💓💓 so inspiring
I will be honoured to have you as my guest in your next visit to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 to show you the real life of locals ☺️
Thank you for sharing. Absolutely amazing video!
😍😍 i love all your traveling stories. I admire you lex
You should make a Podcast! Your stories are beautiful and incredible at a time. You have so much to say and i love to hear all of it.
Have a great one
Love your videos!! I did not expect after you said, “music festival in Saudi Arabia,” it to be One Republic!! 😂
I love your stories. You are a very brave women to venture out alone. You are a huge role model to young women who dream of traveling. I can't wait for your next video!!!
Great video! I just came back to my home country after 2 months spent in Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, due to the current world situation, I wasn't able to visit much but I will definitely go back and explore the whole country
welcome back anytime
Hey Lexi! Really awesome channel and I really enjoy your videos, this pandemic has made me miss traveling and I'm sure all travelers are feeling the same about this
I’d like to know how was your experience in Tunisia since I’m from there.
Great video lovely Lexie!!! 👍😊 Love that you are talking about countries that are different from western countries and some of the things they have to offer!
The perfect time to upload this
When I first heard about you the first thing I wanted to know was whether you wore head scarfs when in predominantly Muslim countries. I was so happy to see that you did. I am not Muslim but I live in a place that it is culturally appropriate to wear a head covering and is considered inappropriate not to. I am glad that you respect the culture.
I am Christian and visiting my husband's family in U.A.E soon and will wearing a headscarf out of respect ❤also I am pale and itll protect my skin hopefully 🙈
Just Jessi 😁👌
I'm so glad you didn't release all your content when you filmed it as it is giving us some fascinating things to watch while there are so many travel restrictions in place. Thank you!
When you said you were standing in the edge of the world, it’s crazy because I’ve seen that in my dreams before that exact landscape with the sun and everything
I am really glad that you had fun in Saudi!! hope to see you next time you visit
RAD Video Lexie! I love you so much!!! I’m so happy to have traveled to the places we have together!
I’m glad u loved our country 🇸🇦💚🤍
i love your vidoes Lexie, greetings from Madinah saudi arabia
Eid Mubarak, everyone! Would love to visit Saudi Arabia one day!
First one yeeeees! You inspire me to create my own videos and keep travelling. Greetings from a Spanish subscriber and youtuber :)
Such an amazing video again! ❤️
as a 21-year-old girl Saudi and living in Saudi most of my life I really enjoyed this video! I'm glad you were able to experience such a milestone with us, but I'm sure your trip was short guided and you didn't have enough to explore, you covered only the tip of the ice burg! there so much more I would've loved for you to see and who knows maybe one day when this is covid stuff is all over you could come again and I'd show you around!! Just make sure its also not during august 😂
Hella emotional this made meee, gosh!
Wow Saudi Arabia the Prince and David G. too. Outstanding. Thank you for these fascinating storytimes.
I love this video so much!
Thank you for understanding and respecting our culture. When people understand us and respect us we would go even further and bush more boundaries. Thank you 🙏🏻
People commented in an earlier video that you speak slowly, i find you so easy to understand and i am sure most people watching this channel will love the clear precise tones of your speech, dont change it lol!
Love you Lexie , you are the most respectful and honest traveler
So happy for what you said about my country and i wish we can host u next winter ❤️🇸🇦
8:48 the guys from One Republic... 🤷♀️😂 You said it so casually😂😂
That's why the crime rate is too low in Saudi Arabia
You look so beautiful in the Abaya & scarf ! Wow!
im a long time viewer, and i loved that you made a video about what you thought of my country
Thank you for sharing this!
I hope the people who watched this video would come to Saudi and experience it for themselves. After all, people don’t understand a different culture until they visit it themselves.
That looked awesome! Not expecting this at all!
All the love from Saudi Arabia ♥️.
I hope you will speak about Morocco, it has a great history and heritage 🙏🙏😊
I am an Arab and I LOVEEEE Morocco 🇲🇦
I went to marakesh and fez over winter break. Tagine is really good lmao
Morocco is one of the most beautiful countries I have visited, it is another world
yes have gone, the city of Fez in Morocco is one of the oldest cities in the world, and there is architecture and cooking, really grea
I want to visit Morocco soon😞😞
Love this video ! You are amazing :)
Great video! Thanks, Lexie! I actually really like the family sitting areas bc I don’t want some crazy kids bothering me when I’m trying to feed my kids their BK
Eid Mubarak to those from Sauidi Arabia and around the world!
Love the work keep it up Lexi and stay safe!!!
Glad to have someone like you delete some rumors of the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia =)
Thank you so much for truly showing Saudi Arabia as it really is. We have always been judged based on what the media portrays us as, which is mostly bad, but as EVERY other country in the world, we are always evolving and learning as we go. Having people like you who use their platform to teach people not to judge and actually see for themselves is what this world needs. From a proud Saudi woman, thank you and I hope you visit again!
Hey Lexie, I would like you to know that I was there all this time and I live in Riyadh!!! But unfortunately I didn’t know then :( and yes you are so damn right about he concerts and the movie theatres its a huge deal for us. It is an huge honour for some one like you visiting my home town.THANK YOU❤️❤️.Much love❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am really glad that you enjoyed your trip here in Saudi Arabia, there is a lot of beautiful places and cities that you didn’t visit but maybe in the next trip. What I love about Saudi Arabia is that each part has his own cultures, you can find to cities that are close together but has different cultures for example I am from the western part of Saudi Arabia and we have a lot of cultures and a lot of cities also a beautiful places the weather there is always cold and rainy and some part of the year snow comes down.I’m going to recommend some places in the western part of Saudi Arabia if you come next time ( Abha -Al Sawda Mountain) ( Al Bahah - Raghadan Forest Park ) ( Fifa Mountains ) ( Dhee Ayn, Marble Village ) ( rijal almae village ). And for the food you must try these traditional dishes ( earikuh , maesub , mandi ). Nowadays I live in Jeddah which is in the western part it’s a beautiful city and have its own culture and if you come in the next time just hit me up on my Instagram ( r0ew ) and I would love to meet you and take you on a tour, your friend “ waleed “.
Haha amazing video ... u had so much fun. I am looking forward to watch your more exciting videos in future ❤
Came after leblanc video, can’t stop watching. So underrated
I love this!! I'm planning a solo trip to the Middle East, I would love to know your recommendations on the best places to visit, and also the countries where you had the best experience while travelling there!! Besides Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan, which I already saw you talking about in videos :) that would help me out so much
ps: I know you really liked Turkmenistan and Pakistan as well! Any tips for visiting those countries?
You are most welcome in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 at any time and don’t forget u only visited only Riyadh and i think Jedda “from what’s appease at the video” u missed so many places may be next time and by the way keep going with ur montage and video quality which is awesome 👏🏿 one day u will became one of biggest traveling you-tubers thx for the vid
