Abha's Rijal Alma'a and Wadi Lajab: Saudi Arabia's Fairytale Village أَبْهَا اخطر طريق في السعودية

[@EricAndAsh]

What do you think? Have you been on a windier road in Saudi? Let us know where!

[@vimin375]

My scariest is the route from Jizan to Najran via Dhahran Al Janub near theYemen border. I think you are already in that area. Avoid traveling at night. you may also encounter plenty of military and police check points along the way. Be safe in your travels.

[@EricAndAsh]

@@vimin375 Oh, I agree that the road around Dhahran Al Janub is pretty scary! In fact, that's pretty much the area at the end of this video. It was getting dark, and we were doing everything we could to make it through the mountains before the sun went down!

[@Catfamily62]

Hi I wants to know hav u been to the makka ? Which is one of the biggest Muslim worship

[@EricAndAsh]

@@Catfamily62 No, we have not been to Mecca.

Nice place l loved it 😍😍💚🇸🇦💚

Us too! Thanks for watching! Wadi Lajab and Rijal Alma are incredible!

[@themaskaraltd9235]

Abha City is a very beautiful area. I like it very much, but the roads are very dairy and I have to be very careful while walking on dangerous roads. I like your travel video very much. You have captured the views of Saudi Arabia in a really wonderful way. আবহা সিটি খুব সুন্দর একটি এলাকা অনেক ভালো লাগে তবে রাস্তাগুলো খুব ডেয়ারি এবং বিপদজনক রাস্তা দিয়ে চলার সময় খুব সাবধানে চলতে হয় আপনার ট্রাভেল ভিডিওটা আমার কাছে অনেক ভালো লাগলো সৌদি আরবের দৃশ্য গুলো সত্যিই অসাধারণ ভাবে তুলে ধরেছেন আপনি

[@EricAndAsh]

Thanks so much! Abha is beautiful, but those roads 😲 Thanks for watching!

[@MrX-bc3py]

Welcome to Saudi Arabia. I wish you an enjoyable trip

[@EricAndAsh]

Thanks! 😃 We actually just celebrated our 5th year of living in Saudi! I guess we finally decided it was time to share more about our lives here 🤷🏼‍♂️ 😂

[@Hasan-gz9ms]

You guys are awesome, thank you for the info in that vedio. And yes wadi Lajab is the Saudi version of great canyon.

[@EricAndAsh]

Thanks, Hassan! Wadi Lajab is beautiful!

[@رسيس-ر7ي]

Amazing video 👌🏼👌🏼

[@EricAndAsh]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for following along. We've got a lot more videos about Saudi coming up soon!

[@zd060886]

Love the music choice! And that canyon with River looked like Zion

[@EricAndAsh]

So many places we go here, one of will say "This looks SO much like the Southwest US." Wait until you see the place we're headed this week - it's wild!

[@EricAndAsh]

@@ميرو-ل6ج Zion is a National Park in the United States that looks a lot like this place. It has nothing to do with what you were talking about. Please be kind in our channel.

[@عايشه-ي8ش]

وضح كلامك لو سمحت؟؟

@@عايشه-ي8ش This Wadi looks a lot like a national park in the US called Zion National Park.

Thanks, Reyguarin! That part of Saudi Arabia is so beautiful! Thanks for watching!

[@MaxMax-hk6rm]

Good vlog love it old billding 😍 It’s look like way no crowd good

[@EricAndAsh]

It was a quiet morning while we were there, and we knew most of the people who visited that day 🤣 Most of the places we visit tend to be pretty quiet if they're not in one of the biggest cities like Riyadh or Jeddah.

[@Roving_BaburLashari]

Amazing

[@EricAndAsh]

Thanks! That was such a fun trip south!

[@AliAli-gt9dz]

Welcome to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

[@EricAndAsh]

Thanks! We’ve had quite a good time exploring the country for the last 5 years!

[@depedcyrilariola7346]

On this time of pandemic, that's a nice place to visit coz seldom people can be encountered, less contact, I should say talking about,a good place to unwind! God Bless to both of you!

[@EricAndAsh]

Thanks! We were fortunate not many people were there. Our friends went over Eid and it was so very busy for them!

[@lubnamolutt4657]

Very nice videos, to the point and not too lengthy. Also your choice of music is awesome. Can’t stop shazaming lol. Keep up the good work.

[@EricAndAsh]

Thanks Osama! We’re definitely trying to keep making the videos better! And we use Epidemic Sound for all of our music in here so that we don’t get in trouble for using music we don’t have permission for. Thanks for following along with us!

[@ardels2000]

Hope I visit soon this place

[@EricAndAsh]

It's definitely worth the trip! Which are you more excited to visit - Rijal Alma or Wadi Lajab?

[@RashidAliKhan73]

So beautiful place.

[@EricAndAsh]

It really is!

[@sultans.849]

You have to visit fifa Mountain

[@EricAndAsh]

For sure! It's on our list!

[@syedabdulazeez8197]

Well guys good job done! you brought back the good old memories of the beautiful place of Abha and particularly Al Sooda going down toRijal Alma through that tricky road which I did for more than five years to complete an electrification as project engineer.I thank you very much formy revisit to Abha God bless you both

[@EricAndAsh]

Glad that you enjoyed it! We really enjoyed Abha, and hope to go back some time. Glad that we could help you revisit!

[@jhuing]

Im planning to go there.Thank you for your awesome videos.Can you suggest a hotel that allows guests?

[@EricAndAsh]

We stayed at the Boudl Abha in Abha, and it was very nice.

[@mindlovewifi]

Nice video. What is the music used in this video in the beginning?

[@EricAndAsh]

Thanks, Nauman! The first song is Thunderbird by Ooyy. We license all our music through Epidemic Sound - bit.ly/2JWmB1w

[@kitkatph2676]

Hi just bump into your channel and I’m really interested since we are planning to visit al baha soon any place highly recommended to visit?? Thanks for sharing this video it gives me an idea 💡

[@EricAndAsh]

Definitely check out the Marble Village down the mountain from Al Baha (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqHVoJ6Dn66VkNU) and be sure to visit some of the beautiful overlooks around the city (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYabqmSln6uLmMU). We need to go back and explore the town itself a bit more though. Enjoy your visit!

[@MrSamshy]

6:07 speed-bumps are horrendous. Sometimes, I wonder if they’re really affective to stop drivers from over speeding other than causing distress. Anyway, I love your videos, and I hope you had great time exploring my country. You’re absolutely more than welcome 🤗 , and I wished you had connected more with the locals to learn more about our culture. Cheers with Arabic coffee 😅

[@EricAndAsh]

The speed bumps 🤣 They're the worst! And we do try to connect with locals, and are trying to do so more and more!

[@helenluong6265]

nice video! is 4x4 suv is must in Wadi Lajab? as i only have 2 wheel suv.

[@EricAndAsh]

I wouldn't recommend going in with a 2 wheel drive. There were several cars that were being pulled out at different times, and if you venture in past the first little water spot, it's very soft sand. I've heard of people who've hiked/walked in, but we can't speak to that from experience.

[@shoplee1]

Great video! Are any special permits required for drones? I am about to move there and would like to bring my drone. Thanks!

[@EricAndAsh]

You’ll need to register your drone with GACA and apply for your drone pilot license license through them. I purchased my drone and had it shipped in, and had to have it registered with GACA prior to import. I’m not sure of you can get it registered prior to getting your resident permit, and I don’t think you can bring it in without it being registered. Where are you moving to?

[@shoplee1]

@@EricAndAsh Thanks for the info! I'll be moving to Riyadh.

Exactly. I decided to go the other way returning to abha. Rain was strong in rojal almaa during my visit.
