Comparing Supermarket Prices in Saudi Arabia to the UK 🇸🇦 🇬🇧

[@ksa2239]

I want to clarify something like olive oil. Saudi Arabia has the largest olive farm in the world, and most of the olive products are locally made, and most of the basic foods are manufactured in Saudi factories, such as milk, poultry, wheat, and other products.

[@أحمدعبداللهالتميمي-بريدة]

صحيح كلامك👍

[@Msaya-bh4il]

The farm is so large that you can even see it from space.

[@thebutcher1422]

The green one isn’t milk it’s like yogurt mixed with water we called it laban the milk is blue

[@Mrstriver]

😂😂😂 bro i was thinking why is it so white and solid.

[@ran7627]

Butter milk

[@Iamfsaly]

It’s fermented milk

[@saladcatroblox6353]

Actually more like yogurt drink or kefir yogurt​@@ran7627

[@09ziyad]

It's not "yogurt mixed with water" lol it's slightly fermented milk, between yogurt and milk

I'm Tunisian and I'm happy watching Europeans visiting Saudi Arabia and exploring the country, at least they can erase the stereotypes about it 🇹🇳🇸🇦🇬🇧, Greetings to you ♥️🙏🏻

[@omar.ksa77]

There is a difference between chicken prices from one company to another in Saudi Arabia. There are more than 9 local companies in Saudi Arabia and they compete in prices. The other thing is that Saudi Arabia has the largest olive farm in the world in the Al-Jawf region in northern Saudi Arabia and produces fine olive oil.

[@Zanka_Zanka]

No. The biggest producers of olives in the world is currently Egypt followed by Spain.

We plant olive in the northern region of the kingdom in Aljouf city , where you can get a high-quality Virgin olive oil.

[@invictuslady]

We have local brands of some products like pasta and tuna that's cheaper than the imported ones.

[@goosbrue2942]

The green is butter milk called Laban, milk is blue

[@Amghannam]

Hey, don't know if someone already mentioned this, but just wanted to clarify, at 1:45 , Laban in Saudi Arabia is not milk, but something in between milk and yoghurt (not sure what it's called in English). In Egypt yes, Laban is milk, but not in Saudi. Milk in Saudi is called Haleeb, and Laban is something else, that we in Egypt call Rayeb. I'm pretty sure milk (Haleeb) would be much cheaper than Laban.

[@Ahmed-pf3lg]

Lol so you Egyptians are the reason they thought Laban is milk!!! 😂😂 Bro only Egyptians and Sudansse people call milk “Laban”. All other Arabs call it Haleeb. And we call liquid Yogurt “Laban”.

11:16 Professor Jaber Al-Qahtani says that the best olive oils are in Palestine, then Al-Jawf. Saudi Arabia is rich in the largest olive farms in the world in the Al-Jawf region, which you can visit Search for Melaf Cola. The cola drink with date extract is a new Saudi product, as well as the camel milk project (Nouq) with several flavors. The largest date farm in the world is in Al-Qassim, which is Al-Rajhi Farm, and the Qassim region is famous for its date farms

[@ChristianRauber]

Maybe it's the beer 😅

[@danniinthedesert]

Go to Home Bargains if you have one and wait for the supermarkets to do deals. Shopping is still much cheaper for me in the UK than Saudi. Also as a Brit, I eat a lot of British foods which pushes up the prices. Also if you care about organic or health foods, it’s way more expensive in Saudi.

[@salamanca6624]

I am Saudi and I have been living in the UK for 6 years. Before the inflation of prices, the UK was slightly less than Saudi Arabia, but real estate in Saudi Arabia is much less, which makes Saudi Arabia less expensive to live in, even though salaries are similar. But now, after the inflation of prices, Saudi Arabia is less expensive than the UK in food prices. I would like to add another piece of information: UK supermarkets sell very small sizes that are barely enough for two people, and this is because the UK is a society of disintegrated families. As for the supermarket packages in Saudi Arabia, they are family sizes that are enough for at least 5 people. This also makes the price in Saudi Arabia the wholesale price and less expensive as well.

[@LGSMARTTV-s6s]

Regarding the olive oil, Nadak olive oil and Al-Jouf olive oil are among the best oils in the world. You can check that out.

[@rehanaakhtar180]

Rice is sold in big bags in all supermarkets in the UK. You need to check out the world food isles 😅 They have usual small precooked packets, but they also sell the massive 5kg and 10kg bags as well.

[@carmenabally4283]

But still our rice bags in Saudi Arabia are bigger . You havent seen the really big sacks of rice fathers bring to their houses.

[@nohashabat857]

Welcome to Saudi Arabia, dear. I hope that before you try to mention any information about anything, you have done some research about it. When you compared the prices, you focused on one type of each product, knowing that there are many cheaper alternatives. And when you mentioned that Saudi Arabia does not produce olive oil, I am attaching a video of one of the olive farms in Saudi Arabia that contains a million trees, and there are many like it. I hope that you will expand your knowledge of all the aspects that you want to present to the follower, so that the information is correct, useful, and comprehensive about any place you visit. Please accept my warmest greetings to you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoOyY2mrZrhgo7M

Lol you can buy even 20kg bags of rice in the UK. All the south Asian shops sell them.

[@aabb-qf4wk]

Also, medicines that contain alcohol as a preservative are allowed in Saudi Arabia. They apply the same standard to energy drinks and beer...etc The same limit on the quantity is allowed & the same limit on the percentage.

If you want to compare a similar market like Asda supermarkets in the UK, please visit Noori Supermarket. They look similar to Asda in the UK, even the cashiers.

[@HR_000]

I appreciate you taking the time to do this while on holiday, but i have to say i have a few issues with the comparisons. Prices in Saudi for the same product vary quite a bit from one brand to the other and from one store to the next. Some items have a much higher demand, some are made locally while others aren't, some have imposed taxes while others benefit from government support. Just so you know.😊 If the store didn't have a sign prohibiting filming or taking pictures inside they have no right to do what they did.

Hope that i can help you with the information that i brought to you. ❤

I can buy a whole 1.2kg chicken for about 16.10 SAR (~3.37 GBP). Or 3.98 at the most. For a couple of years I've been buying my premium chicken fresh, directly from the farm (not from the supermarket).

About the coca cola. Im pretty sure its cheaper in Saudi because they use cheaper sugar. And you could taste the difference. And the thing you were holding thinking it’s milk. It’s not actually milk it’s a kind of yogurt. Milk is cheaper and the container is colored blue not green.

Panda isn’t considered a “high end” “luxury” supermarket. It’s average I would say. Everyone shops there, rich and not so rich people. in Jeddah since I am from Jeddah luxury would be Manuel, Danube, maybe Carrefour.

Because it’s relatively a new thing here compared to other Middle Eastern countries. So, it’s easy for Saudi Arabia to build its olive oil industry with the highest standards and highly organized.

Alcohol is a solvent solution to mix sugar for example. in Islam the rule is, what ever makes you drunk in big quantities then even the small quantities of it is haram. Say orange juice also has alcohol to dissolve sugars, but would you get drunk from filling your stomach with it? no, so it is halal/permissible.
