Many people who say it with a z aren't really incorrect, it the correct pronunciation they grew up.

I'm an expat in Saudi, before I came here I wasn't sure what it would be like, I was concerned that it would be strict and humourless. I have lived in Riyadh and currently I am in Jubail but have also visited Hail and Hateefah, In the 6 months since I arrived, I have met some incredible people, my Arabic is improving very slowly, and the people are very warm, very friendly (a high percentage are under 30 years of age), they have a very well developed sense of humour, and most are very well educated. I think for a long time Saudi has been very shy and reserved on the world stage, and is now emerging and the world will be amazed at the richness of the culture, the importance of family, being respectful and how amazing the people are. The kingdom is so different from the way it is reported in a lot of the western media. I feel incredibly fortunate to have visited and enjoyed the hospitality. Even during the Covid pandemic, I have felt safe and I would recommend you visit if you get the chance. So ignore the negative press, it is a rich country in every sense of the word.

So far the most realistic and honest “Things not to do in Saudi”... It would’ve been perfect if you kinda clarified one thing, waring shorts... We obviously have and wear short but it literally like literally depends on where you’re going... If you were in a crowded/ public place like a mall, airport, I wouldn’t recommend wearing them (+ banks and governmental places)... but if you are going to a restaurant, barbershop, gym, supermarket, hookah lounge, something that isn’t kinda open i’d say go for it... When I was back home I used to wear shorts and have a pair of jeans in the back of my car haha.

[@smallsthetimelord4066]

@Nick Shannon I'm a white American and I agree with you.

[@AnonymousL16]

i used to live there. i wore shorts everywhere. maybe not do it in riyadh, but jeddah or al-dammam are VERY liberal. theres even women walking around without burqas and stuff

[@br19_yt]

I don’t know why always people says that Riyadh isn’t “ Liberal“, actually it is the most liberal city in SA, almost all large cities in Saudi are “liberal”, Niqab (not birqa) actually depends on person’s believe, it has nothing to do with extremeness or liberality, there’s a lot of “ways” to practice islam like in Christianity there’s Orthodox, Protestant and Catholic, most of saudis (especially who live in middle regions) believe in Niqab, so it doesn’t has to represent the extremeness of a person, I hope I clarified some points

[@br19_yt]

By “Liberal” here I meant “the acceptance of differences” not “believe in differences”, so in Riyadh (and most large cities) for example the people there are facing a lot of differences in there routine life so they became more acceptable to them, but in other small cities, like my city Al-Qassim (it is beautiful city by the way you should visit us if you can ☺️♥️ ) we don’t face a lot of differences so if we see some woman not wearing an Abaya (long black dress) we will feel strange and confused because we don’t see that normally, like if you see a woman wearing Abaya in your country, it all just about adjusting 🤷🏻‍♂️, Saudis in general are very educated people and we know about the differences in the other countries, we almost in every summer vacation we travel outside in Europe or Asia so we faced a lot of cultural differences, Saudi people themselves are very open minded, but the government was closed, even for this who not traveled they have a good access to the Internet and social media so they watched and faced a lot of cultural differences and stuff

[@br19_yt]

​@Marco Chiacchiari I think it is the same way you feel about the north 🤷‍♂️ (interesting btw because the most liberal cities in SA is located in the west), at least for me and my family and my friends, it's a bit hard to acclimate with these changes which happens in Saudi Arabia right now, even Riyadh wasn't the same before these changes, I don't say that we were living in a bad situation before these changes but I really miss the way that SA was, it was more simpler and every thing was familiar to me, nothing big really change in my city just few things (like seeing a lot of women drive cars which I really loved it), but in Riyadh, it became a whole different city, and when I travel there for visiting family or finishing some business I really feel like I'm in another country and feel not belonging and not home 🙄

I am from Ireland but lived in Saudi when I was a kid for a year or 2. I subsequently travelled back most years for the 50 degree summers due to my dad being an expat there for nearly 20 years now. Happy to see an educational video about Saudi that answers a lot of uneducated peoples question's on common misconceptions. I will definitely share this video to counteract the western judgmental reports on Saudi.

If we want to live together and not die together, we need to respect our differences. All Europeans have come together and have made a powerful Union without saying "oh, you're a catholic, you're a protestant, you're a French or you're a German", but we muslims are still fighting over our minor differences. There's nothing more humane and Islamic than to create friendship and love among people. I'm Persian and honestly speaking I love all Arabs. May peace be with you❤❤🙏
